This isn’t even false equivalency, it’s just blatantly false.

Not only is this wrong, the prevalence of this weird comparison fuels more stigma and dismissal of people who already have to struggle to get Adderall without judgment from their own doctors and pharmacists, when it’s literally one of the only high percentage treatments for ADHD.

Same problem. No other ways to verify, just my FULLY CORRECT PASSWORD, so Google has decided I’ll never get to access my old account again.

I posted about it on the Google forum and was told by a self important community person that it is my fault for not logging back into that account to set up backups.

Happy to switch off Gmail now, but it won’t get my old emails with bygone friends and family back.

My fault for expecting my password to get me into my account. Fuck Google man.

Great news! You can have that experience today on Google’s or Microsoft’s community & product forums. It’s the default response!

This is less a design choice and more the reality of package-based architecture, but - menus that I have to wait before interacting.

I spent most of my life being able to enter clicks and hotkeys as fast as I want, because they would queue up and the app would resolve them in order. Now I can’t type too fast after pressing the Windows Start button, because the start menu needs time to load before it can handle KEYPRESSES. Tapping Windows key followed by “Discord” will search for “iscord” or something if I type full speed.

It feels like every modern app is optimized for a slow person browsing one-handed on a phone.

In addition to the wealth of experiences and opinions in this thread, it is worth reminding:

“Amazon is going to take advantage of whatever it thinks will make them more money.”

Yea I will in fact get mad at that kind of behavior. Lots of businesses doing it (and commenters like you normalizing it) doesn’t make them less responsible for their shitty behavior.

For any young aspiring alcoholics watching, that dude is what day drinking looks like after college. Don’t let that be you

It already got packed. Do you not remember longer than a month ago? First a new Justice was blocked by the Republican House, who then went against their own grounds to install even more right-favoring justices. Then that group overturned Roe v. Wade, running against a “supermajority” of society’s view on reproductive rights.

So is it just convenient for you to pretend that didn’t happen when pointing fingers, or do you legitimately not understand what’s going on?
