This stuff

You don't understand how language works, do you.

It's human nature to use labels to refer to significant things. Eliminating the use of 9/11 as a reference to that event would just lead to everyone referring to as WTC or something else similarly short.

The more unique the label is, however, the longer it will hold the meaning it's given. Do a search for WTC and almost every link points to information about the terrorist attacks on the WTC. Do a search for 4/20, on the other hand, and you'll get a ton of stuff about marijuana and virtually nothing mentioning the Columbine shootings which happened on April 20th.

You want people to stop being afraid? Demanding that they use uniquely memorable names for tragedies is an ass-backwards way to go about it. Let them use generic labels for things so that they don't stand out and can be forgotten over time.

The first question that comes to my mind is, "What the fuck is the point of having more than 640k of memory for residential customers?" It's marketing department dick waving that serves no purpose. 640k should be enough for anyone.

It's not like new technology gets developed to take advantage of new features, right? It's just a big waste of resources to develop these things.

This is what one the old systems looked like

Beets cause me to vomit and have dry heaves for about half an hour. My individual evidence clearly shows that beets are horribly toxic and should be removed from the market.

Anecdote is a synonym for conclusive evidence, after all.

How about some silicon balls

Candidates are being announced for the primaries and the conservative party needs a big bad strawman to wave around and claim that the current government is ignoring in order to rally their supporters.

And monolingual New Zealanders aren't going to watch Game of Thrones in American just to get it cheaper?

You could just pay those 76 people $600,000 a year for doing nothing and you'd have enough left over that you could use to hire another 12 at the same rate.

If it's so ignorable, why is it getting international news coverage now? The law was passed last year, after all. The goal was to draw public attention to an unfair law and they're accomplishing exactly what they set out to do.

This has nothing to do with slacktivism. It's a well thought out way of highlighting what's being done to the people's rights in Spain.

Way to miss the point.

Showing up in person to protest at a government building without explicit permission from the government has been made illegal. Projecting images of protesters is a means of highlighting the fact that those protesters are no longer allowed to be there in person.

I'm just going to leave this here.

The same reason people pay for Netflix rather than downloading the same movies and shows from a torrent.

That's actually why the subject should be introduced in grade school. The kids who have no aptitude for it will find that out before they go to college and declare it as a major, leading to a much higher percentage of that 20 students being good at it.
