Random billionaire: "But muh high score! I need to have more monies than the other billionaires or they won't think I'm cool!"

Hey dickwad, I have the copyright on that line. You owe me 500 dollars. No, don't check if I actually have that copyright and don't demand proof, just pay me.

But my personal use of a plastic straw is what's REALLY killing the environment.

Different people like different things. You like working really hard and feeling that you make a difference in the world that way. Not everyone can, should, or do have the same equation as you for what makes life worthwhile.

WoW to me has too much FOMO; stuff got removed before I was done with it, or was locked behind a skill level I simply don't possess only to then be removed forever when that expansion was over. I did not like that.

Newsflash: Your net connection is in the top 5% if not 1% of the world.

I'm reasonably certain (but not 100%) that it's not Erotic Role Play.

In my youth I worked at a small riding school. Even THEY had free coffee in the break room.

Word costs money, WordPad is gone, and Google Docs requires an active net connection and being logged into Google. Notepad is such a pleasant no-questions-asked does-one-thing kind of program - which again just goes towards this feature not being a good idea or beloved.

I use it for writing, actually. Or rather, I use Notepad++ these days for it.

I prefer starting with an absolutely format-free version and then add the formatting in one go when I'm done.

Having rails provides a direction so you don't end up with decision paralysis because there are just too many options to pick between.
