It happened sometimes, but it was easier to filter those people out. Now those people have become the norm. Tinder absolutely is to blame for this.

Tinder ruined dating. It’s made interactions very transactional.

Several (attempted) murderers have owned copies of The Catcher in the Rye.

Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, publicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.

AMPutator, RSS bot, timezone bot, a bot to provide a Reddit archive URL when someone posts a Reddit URL so we don’t have to send them traffic.

In a similar vein, a bot that links to a timezone converter.

A lot of places in the US have (had?) small, weekly, free newspapers that are actually pretty good. They get by by being full of ads, often the kinds of ads more family-friendly outlets wouldn’t publish.

It was a bug, not a feature.

I can’t remember anything that was a straight-up factual error. There was something along these lines from a private tutor my parents had to hire to make up for too many days I missed one semester due to health problems. One day when we were covering evolutionary biology she goes, “Well, I don’t believe in this, but I’m obligated to teach it to you.” Doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, but I appreciate the candor. Which reminds me of the time in middle school a girl in my class said her grandmother believed dinosaur bones were put there by the Devil and the teacher had to give an awkward response to that.

There is one common misconception among English teachers that I think everyone has heard at some point, the difference between “effect” and “affect” being different parts of speech.
