Otherwise, the executives will have to admit they are wrong, which is career suicide. If you admit you were wrong, another executive can use that admission to backstab you.

Didn't you read the summary?

This yet-uncreated-technology has perfectly understood capabilities, and will benefit you greatly.

The original point was, "Trump is bad with pardons."

Your point seems to be, "Yes Trump is bad, but Biden was worse."

So you agree, Trump is bad.

I have what you call a file format bug up my ass. Why would my comment be irrelevant?

Some people have no involvement in archival of pertinent documents. They would perhaps think that someone who needs to retrieve documents is some sort of one off thing. We are not. Our ability to retrieve old documents is sometimes very very critical.

I had one of those once. Our local dealer refused to honor it twice. First was for a broken turn signal assembly, second was for a tire that failed at 7K miles.

Well then, is someone forcing you to marry and endure the presents marriage brings to men? I there are no worthy women in the cities, you just don't wife them up. And that's the thing. The present day paradigm that demands women live the single life sampling as many men as possible until their mid to late 30s', is running up against a problem .A man who stays single until that age is losing the desire to marry and have children.

And not to put too fine a point on it, he can always go out and have one nighters or situationships with those modern women, pick them up at the bars or clubs.

Disclaimer - the bar and club scene isn't what it used to be, even Chad and Tyrone are finding better things to do with their time.

So what is your solution when a department head brings you a lot of files in some old format and tells you they need updated in order toe be archived

Just tell them no, and tell them they have a bug up their ass?

Perhaps your use case has no such requirements. Doesn't mean other use cases are irrelevant. Doesn't mean they are only a few people. And since Microsoft doesn't offer a thing doesn't mean the use case doesn't exist.

I've even had to recover files from floppy disks. I'll offer no guarantees, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve likening a heat gun to warm the floppy up a bit before inserting.

I have access to O365, but yeah, LibreOffice is simply better.

Whatever claims some might have to an obscure Excel function, the fact remains that O365, is sorely lacking in the ability to open just about everything, which at least for my use case, is a show stopper.

Yup, I had many people that get confused bring me files to open and convert them to the files they are familiar with.

And how! That's why many people keep one of the free suites on hand.

I get all manner of older files from all manner of formats. Fortunately I am not tethered to Microsoft Office, so since I have to go into Libre Office to resurrect documents, I figure I'll just stay there. I'm certain someone will chime in with how they use some obscure "feature" only in Office 365, that LO is useless.

Transplant tourism is a real thing.

There are many reasons for a declining birth rate, and to decide that a product made by Apple is the cause of all this is silly.

What smartphones do is allow people to access social media, a big cause of problems. But then again, so do desktops and laptops.

Another social media caused issue is the rise of generalized misandry, and the target of that misandry "checking out"That's the part that is often not spoken of as much, as to dare to mention that not all problems are caused by men will be attacked.

Watch the response to this post.

And massive checkout of men who choose not to enter into relationships can and will have an effect on birth rate. Men might not be loved, but they have a part in putting in the order.

One big effect of social media for men was for them to share their stories. Men who's wives cheated on them, then divorced him, took his assets, got to keep his house because she got custody of the kids, she marries her affair partner, but the ex gets to continue to pay child support. And he gets to watch his children grow up in freeze Frame snippets.

And let's face it, men can be idiots, thinking with their dinkies, but as more men share their stories, one thing becomes very clear. The way to avoid the very likely outcome of relationships and marriage is to not enter into them.

Youtube has become unofficial manosphere headquarters, a natural thing, since many men used Youtube videos to find out how things are done, and watched videos of activities of interest to many men.

When the manosphere stuff started, for a short time, YT tried to crack down on it. But after figuring out who their customers were, they let it run.

To me, it is a little sad that one of the most obvious reasons is being ignored for narrative. We can see it all over the place, almost amusingly when we get faux sympathetic "There is a male loneliness epidemic" uttered by a modern woman, and a man replies "Not really, men have just decided that there is no valid reason to get into a relationship or marry today, and we opt out"

The usual answer is "No, no, you are lonely."

Let's not forget the attacks on the so called "pick me!" women, who are castigated for treating men well.

Or the now popular go to an Asian country to find a wife. American men and the "Passport Bro" phenomenon. I know several men who have taken this route. Philippinas, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean.

Not one has divorced, They treat each other like King and Queen. This is not some misogynist fever dream, No one is being dominated. This is real equality, many of these women have careers, some are stay at home. Their choice.

Side note - when you marry a Philippina, you marry into the family - big time. The men I know married to Philippinas have a huge extended family, often living with them, but always nearby. But yeah, blame it on the iPhone, which is like blaming car keys for auto accidents.

Everyone switch to Android, Pregnancy rates will go up, Suicide rates will go way down, and the world will be at peace.

Words matter, perhaps you do not know what words mean.

Here's the thing - If I used the wrong word, I'd own it. You on the other hand, want to double down, now it is not "All" of America's wars, it is only very specific ones that everyone must somehow understand because "all" is somehow a colloquialism?

A colloquialism is much more likely to be a word like "ain't" or my use of the word "hella", itself taken from the colloquialism "Helluva".

Tell me, if a person mugs you, and tells you they want all your money, are you going to belabor them with questions about what they mean? Ask them if "all is a colloquialism, or did they just mean the ten EU notes?

I would think that a European would believe that precision in writing and speaking would be important, not ambiguous language. Conciseness is perhaps superannuated?

Allow me to write an unambiguous sentence on the same issues:

Original..."Europe supported America through all its wars, even the stupid ones" - becomes:

Since the end of WW2, Europe has supported America in most of its wars, even the ones considered stupid by some.

And homie (another colloquialism) if statements will take words like "all" and strip them of all meaning by making them mean anything the user wants them to be, then all is lost.

And? I spend my money where I want it to go.

You might not like that, you might think for some reason it is foolish, You do you.

As noted, at one time I did my own work on my vehicles, kept them longer. Now I don't, others do the work under warranty, so less surprises.

I gotta tell ya, the second option is hella better.

Now in full disclosure, there was a certain satisfaction in doing my own work. So that's what I do with my motorcycle. But not my cars any more. Car lifetime? While my wife is more genteel a driver, other than a bit of a lead foot, I don't have a ruggedized Jeep just for the lulz. I have it for my use case. If I kept them 10 years, there would definitely be more than "nothing goes wrong" with them.
