What is even his problem with this one, this just seems like a useful writing tip. I guess it's woke to have more people understand the point you're making.

It's people who default to thinking that any feedback they get, no matter how innocuously meant, is an attack, and immediately react in kind by violently attacking back. Like people who think an "entitlement" means something you don't deserve but act like you do, like all those idiots shrieking about "entitlement programs" like Social Security where they were like "EXCUSE ME??? I EARNED that money!!! You can't call me entitled!!!!"

MS Word says "hey you may want to think about an alternative phrasing for this, just FYI" and Elon goes "BILL GATES IS CALLING ME A BAD WRITER FOR NOT BEING WOKE ENOUGH"

What the gently caress is an “optimouse”

Other than something already very much copywritten by like three different companies already, including an automatic feeder/water system for lab mice and a mouse-location-onscreen tracker software

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Or he's sitting at twitter and they have a GPO that turns this one and this entire time he hasn't had them disable it, or they don't know how. (You can't just delete the gpo, that'd only stop it from applying to new computers you have to change the value)
