Hardly anything more cringeworthy than someone describing themselves as a TED speaker and then you find out it is TEDx.

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my multi-thousand dollar M3 MacBook Pro being obsolete later this year. 🤣😳☹️

It is annoying that Apple uses the green bubble thing to denigrate other-brand chat participants... But I am skeptical that this is a problem government should intervene to solve.

Excel is arguably one of the greatest inventions of all time

Just a friendly reminder that student loan forgiveness does absolutely nothing to fix the outrageous cost of attending college and has become a political stunt to win over voters.
