That hasn't stopped various humans from saying this on the Internet for a long time

My primary care doctor resigned in Jan 2025 because it was too depressing being on screens all the time...

It's not the right tool for their job but still a good tool for the laws they were trying to break...

I'd argue that the original is clearer and more fun than these, but style is subjective.

Not personally but microcenter does have that 30 day return period so you could buy something name brand from them and then return it if it doesn't cut it.

It indicates a pause, and a separation of the two objects in the sentence. It is a subtly different sentence than "Have I been Pwned owner Pwned", and is clearer with greater emphasis on what happened.

The mediverse is a thing now? Like people log onto it? I thought it was just a failed concept.

I can relate to this, when I met my lab partner in my first university chemistry class he seemed like a normal likeable bro. Only later did I discover that he was the school's most notorious racist troll on the school's social media.

I think you might be right that they are mistaking it. I'll edit it to make it more clear.

We hard disagree on that last point. Some people can't move for various reasons.

I grew up without a phone, so I get the benefits of learning to be independent. I also got myself a Google voice number at a young age so I wouldn't be left out of friend groups because of not having a phone. It really is ostracizing, and back then it wasn't as bad as it is today.

I also think the safety concerns are way overblown and what some parents really want is to know their kids' locations at all times and be able to talk to them at all times. I'm not a parent so I can't judge, but that's not how I grew up, and I'm not sure it's good for kids or parents to be that connected.

Addressed how? Do they periodically remind you that you have a linked device?
