Perhaps an edge case, but what about all the commands you mistype or use the wrong flags for etc. If I want to recall a niche or complex command I used months ago I probably won't remember which of the 10 results that pop up was the ri

While this problem is growing for younger people, there are still many many many people who live reasonable non-scoial-media-driven lives. You probably just won't hear about them because...they don't promote themselves on social m

So what? I'd rather it be a corporate pain - in which people will get paid to deal with bs - rather than a buyer pain - in which all our lives are that much more frustrating. Plus, changing price tags? That's the pain? Changing ta

Purely anecdotal, but I recall plenty of summarizing assignments, along with other reading comprehension tasks in my English classes. Though you're right about the minimum length padding thing reinforcing the opposite skill.

In the context of our society and with "lots" meaning billions - yes it is immoral. I'm sure we've all seen a number of graphics/chats/whatever trying to show wealth inequality, but this is the best one I'
