That was the original intent. That it became a measuring contest is separate.

No, but the swearing is immaterial. That apology isn’t, so let’s break down the likely interpretation a bit.

I didn’t want to insult you and if you felt so, I apologize.

This is probably the most egregious part, since ‘I’m sorry you felt offended’ isn’t actually an apology, it just sounds like one. You’re not actually apologising for anything you did.

No matter what it is you might have wanted or intended, the fact of the matter is that you did offend your coworker with your swearing.

The word fuck is one I use very often, but I’ll try to control myself around you’

This part is fine-ish? I’d leave off the “around you”, since it’s extraneous. They don’t need to know that you’re deliberately taking exception around them.

I apologize. The word fuck is one I’m used to using, but I’ll try to avoid using it.

Seems a better way of putting it. You made the error, you apologised, clean and cut. No need for unnecessary explanation that could be taken as excuse, or unnecessary exceptions that may taint your intended message.

Maybe accompany it with an apology muffin or something.

At least it’s better than ed.

?

I don’t think ever. Twitter has too big of a brand name and recognition, where X does not, and they’ll keep coasting on it (their emails to you still say “formerly known as Twitter”). News sites and places will keep calling it Twitter because X is too confusing of a name, and certain parts of their reader-base will simply have no idea who it is that they’re on about, and some social media will call it Twitter because X is a silly name, and they do not respect Elon Musk’s rebranding of Twitter in much the same way that he does not respect his daughter’s name or identity.

Mustn’t forget the limited edition pre-order special shelf wallpaper.

Neat.

Wonder why the terminology changed. Maybe baby-board/childboard didn’t roll off the typewriter as well?

Information might also be leaked through data breaches. An email is not a particularly hard thing to find, or even guess.

A spammer could easily just have a computer iterate through all possible combinations of emails and usernames, and shotgun it.

Especially for a name like OP’s. If their email is a similar name, it wouldn’t be difficult for generate one that is also two words.

They really want to force gamers to buy the old games, just as they were, because those are next to free to adapt to a different platform and people will pay for them.

Nah, if they had wanted that, they would continue to release them in that format. As it stands, they don’t, so you can’t buy those old games from the publisher either.

You can’t have criticisms about the game if you put it on a shelf instead of playing it.

Libraries facilitate widespread piracy of books, by allowing people to read them without a distribution licence, or even take them home!

This is a clear violation of the DMCA, and thus must be stopped immediately!

He’s probably tried to excise someone from the mortal coil/plane once or twice, does that count?

It makes them sound like a car or something.

Plus it works a treat if your normal shoe horn is far too heavy.

It doesn’t help that people don’t tend to clean their phones like they do their toilet, but will take their phone into the water closet anyhow.

But this isn’t mood altering substances, it’s an obsesity drug.

Like antibiotics, it should be fine as long as it isn’t forced on people.

And that the requirements for those minimal improvements are vast. If you need to pull down 200GB for a minor graphical upgrade, that’s just not really worth it compared to an older game that is a bit graphically worse, but is both smaller, and runs better on newer hardware.

Your LLMs are furries. That is their fursona.

But if you’re immortal, you can also think much longer term.

You can just keep working, or, if you’re the truly immortal type, where you don’t have biological needs, and are impervious to disease or injury, just sit back, since you don’t need to pay for as much as a regular human.

Although getting to that point would be quite difficult. Someone being truly immortal is so far out there and so difficult to prove that it’s much more likely to be something more mundane. Like identity theft, or a clerical error.

Particularly with the modding scene. You can’t exactly do a randomiser with the cartridge.
