I wasn’t going for an ethymological argument. Plenty of examples of words whose meaning veered away from its ethymology.
But the recent popularization of literally as a synonym of figurativrly, well, it literally rustles my jimmies.

Interesting! Today I learned, then. Thanks.
Now, and this I’m going to say in a sort-of tongue-in-cheek manner, what’s your opinion on the recent change of the meaning of “literally”? Because that one is definitely less (ha!) than 200 years old.
- Comment on How Dating Apps Are Squeezing More Money Out of Less People 5 days ago:
I would normally agree with you.
But just as it’s okay for people to speak the way they want, it’s also okay for people to spread language knowledge. Then let the people decide whether they want to use that knowledge or not.
It’s not like OP said “it’s ‘fewer’, you idiot!” In that case, I’d say it’s elitism. Otherwise, it’s just a useful lemmy comment.

It means that the video may an embedded ad about a wallet (I’m guessing a crypto wallet), which says “it’s important to select the right wallet.”
Another reason why AI is not there yet. Funny!

Tl;dw: summarized by AI:
The YouTube video “Tech Bros Invented Trains And It Broke Me” critiques Polish startup Nomo’s mrail train system, which aims to achieve speeds of 550 km per hour on conventional tracks. The speaker argues that this is unrealistic, as rail systems are divided into three segments based on speed. The speaker also criticizes the idea of automating trains, stating that selecting the right wallet is a more pressing concern. The video also discusses the challenges of implementing the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) in Europe due to the complex and disparate rail systems. The speaker compares European rail systems to American rail, highlighting issues with punctuality and mixed traffic. The video concludes that the Magrail system, which aims to transport containers at high speeds on land, is unnecessary and impractical due to logistical challenges and safety concerns.

If someone posts a video of funny cats, shouldn’t they post it in a cats community instead, per your logic?

The paperclip can definitely be improved. It’s just that the way it is now is good enough, and the improvements aren’t probably not worth it.

For anyone else reading, I’m a dev, and I didn’t get any “devs lazy” vibe from the OP.
It’s a sensible request, not a ridiculous one.

I think she was reading, so she had a long time to put her thoughts together. Having said that, I wouldn’t have come up with something this eloquent, as you put it, at that age indeed.

Thanks. I had the wrong definition of fetal viability, and what you say of course makes sense. I stand corrected.
Also, I’m sorry your wife had to go through that experience.
