If you've lost a kid, or can't have kids, it's a daily reminder. But also it's just annoying. In some apps it's remembering what the heck you set the password

But also it's just annoying. In some apps it's remembering what the heck you set the password to.

- maest 2y agoVery poor take. Nobody said people should never be reminded of the existence of children, so not sure who you're arguing with.
- bowsamic 2y agoWell that's literally what he said, that the existence of children in a list of accounts is a reminder, and thus it is bad to be reminded that children exist at all

- bowsamic 2y agoWow
- DonHopkins 2y agoWell, have you lost a child? Or have your parents? Is this what you said to your spouse or parents when your child or sibling died? >"you are asserting your own neuroses too much on the world and you should get it fixed and take responsibility for it I don't have patience for such childish reactions from supposed adults" -bowsamic
- bowsamic 2y agoThere’s so much projection here that basically none of this has anything to do with me, so I may as well not reply. Have fun with your Musk derangement syndrome, which btw you incorrectly identified me with
- xmprt 2y agoI'm not sure what kind of take this is. If you've lost a child, you don't need a button on your Netflix screen to remind you of the tragedy you've been through. No bereaved parent is going through life ignoring their child's passing only for a Netflix button to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
- paulv 2y agoSometimes you can be having a great day and bam, some small reminder of something you lost can send you in to tears. Grief isn't linear.
- CrossVR 2y agoThe problem isn't that the Netflix button will make them break down into tears. The problem is that the daily confrontation just brings the mood down. They're just sitting down for a relaxing movie or series and the first thing that comes up is the question: "You don't have kids right?"
- bowsamic 2y agoFrankly, Netflix cannot be expected to account for such a trigger
- edent 2y agoWhy not? They have an algorithm which can account for every micro-taste on the planet. What's the point of having computers if they can't properly account for the real world?
- bowsamic 2y ago> Why not? Because phenomenal experience of children exists unavoidably outside of Netflix > They have an algorithm which can account for every micro-taste on the planet Citation needed
