#random #rant One of my biggest pet peeves is when people reduce a whole sentence to a couple of letters and I have to break out the code breaker to figure out what the fuck you just said because you couldn’t be bothered to actually spell it out.

Hell, even good morning and good night seems too difficult for people to type.

This made sense 20 years ago when you had to use the dial pad to send a message and it could take quite some time to cycle through the letters.

However, between having a full keyboard, swype and voice to text, it seems people only do it now out of laziness.

Prove me wrong, please, because I hate feeling this way about my fellow man, it’s one of the reasons why I usually speak to people on here with contempt and disdain. If you can’t be bothered to spell out a word, then I can’t be bothered with you, period.

The other thing people seem fascinated with these days, is creating obscure company names just so their acronym can spell something.

I’m curious how long it took the #trustfundbaby to think of a company name that would allow him to spam DOGE all over the fucking planet, even though it’s really just the DGE, the “o” doesn’t get shortened. So, he still hasn’t actually done it, which is on par for that moron.

I wonder if the #tangerineturd had any input, given he is the actual puppet master. What say you?

I am right there with ya on the enshittification of digital communication via the overuse of acronyms and other forms of unnecessary short-hand.

Trying to get my kids to not be lazy and actually use full sentences, with proper grammar and correct spelling, since it really isn't difficult with all the tools available to them now. It feels like a losing battle.

I have grown-ass adults I work with that couldn't write a professional email to save their lives. Did I mention that I work in lending, where we communicate in writing with our borrowers all day long? They wouldn't be able to do their job without copy/paste scripts that were written for them that they just have to fill in the blanks.

This is an unavoidable downside of technology is certain aspects: Employing it leads to hunan atrophy of the skills that it takes over.

Not always. Video games might help people develop fast reaction times, for example

Hence the "certain aspects" clause.

How many people do you know that are confident driving to a new address without the use of a smartphone navigation app?

Have you tried to buy a paper map or a Thomas guide in a gas station in the last 10 years?

They don't exist.
