For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

    Microsoft Word is a bad piece of software that is poorly designed, laughably unoptimized, and mostly dysfunctional. It’s like a passenger car with seven wheels arranged in an irregular septagon, a 1 gallon gas tank, and a kitchen stool for a seat.

    Also hype clothes are a tremendous waste and reveal the hollowness and meaninglessness that underlies most fashion

      I hate Microsoft Word. It’s so inefficient. When the template breaks and you spend an hour trying to fix some formatting. Just give me a latex template and let me focus on the actual content please.

      Microsoft Word is a bad piece of software

      and it’s constantly begging you to buy into it or register.

      Microsoft Word works fine the few times that I do use it, but I mostly use LATEX and maybe some markdown.

      Just update word 03 with some security and bug fixes and be done with it. It still does literally everything anyone ever did with word.

      This but Outlook. Thunderbird is superior in every way. Exchange is a PITA. E-mail is e-mail - it’s been the same for 30+ years. Why is Outlook always so broken?

      “Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders could not be opened.” Why not? It’s not rocket science. It’s just e-mail! And the only solution? Delete the profile and start again, only for Outlook to spit out an equally unhelpful error a week and a half later. How could software so expensive and so widely used be so unstable??

      I had to look up Hype clothing. So it’s just branded super expensive basic clothes? Is this popular for some reason.

        Yeah. Supreme is the ultimate example, but also stuff like yeezees. And far be it from me to judge those more fashionable than myself. But most streetwear / hype stuff is just normal stuff but really shit quality and with the price upped by an order of magnitude b/c of intense social media FOMO. So, so dumb

      Do you have a suggestion for a replacement? I’ve been looking for something to write in and didn’t want to buy MS office.
