I see. I didn't think I ever heard about that. I'm only familiar with them as in a digital version of paperwork, not a digital copy of a document.
I understand exactly how that happens then.

I'm not a kid (see my other replies in this thread lol), but I've never had to use PDFs for much at all. The closest I've ever been to editing one is clicking a box to draw a signature or check a checkbox.
So I've gotta ask. Why would one need to rotate a PDF? They would be made on a computer, and naturally default to the correct orientation, no? I can't imagine why one would ever be sideways.
My younger brother will not flinch when talking about playing a first person game, (he says it for every game though) he will say a controller is superior.
Now I understand that there is a lot of wiggle room to debate the "best" input method, but I will die on the hill about a mouse being the best (and maybe best possible) input for look/aiming in a first person sense.
The left hand could use an analog input for sure, but digital movement is so rarely an issue it didn't matter a whole lot.
I will go as far as to throw him a bone and say that controllers are probably the best for something like a platformer (his genre of choice), or a racing game, or in some cases, 3rd person action. I will typically use Rocket League as an example of that, because that game is one of the few that analog movement is much, muuuch more important than analog camera control.
But keyboard and mouse is so widely usable for (and so often a clear front runner) that I have to dunk on him every time he shits on kb+m.
But then I think about my coming up learning and using computers, and our built in familiarity with kb+m, whereas these days, these scrubs are using touchscreens almost exclusively, and a keyboard just looks ancient right off the bat. And of course anything that "old people" use is definitely just totally obsolete and gross as soon as something else comes out.
So I give him consideration in that regard, but it saddens me that he won't think critically enough to understand the differences, and is not thinking about it. His brain is very literally saying "old way bad, new way good".
He's still too young, but damn the communication barrier is frustrating.
Tablets... in use at 2nd grade...
Damn. I know whether to call you a baby or call myself a geezer anymore.
The Internet itself didn't even become widely available until I was in 4th grade or so. Windows 95 was only a year old when I got my very first access to any computing device beyond a very simple calculator.
Being "online" wasn't a permanent status, it only applies for as long as you were allowed to tie up a phone line.
I could say more, but you've heard a bunch of back in my days already probably.
I got used to looking for registry tweaks, but I don't even know what to call it exactly.
The closest I've got is: A place for accessing hidden settings in Windows. I've made a couple typos in there and nuked an install or two of XP, but I never really changed much personally. Just kinda looked up various ways people would use it to accomplish x, y, or z, out of curiosity.
I don't have to deal with it anymore at least.
As to the "way it's supposed to be" part...
That should be obvious. Their oh-so-important Bible is all about how to trample women to be used as steps for men to climb up on.
All that stuff in church about "women shouldn't teach in church" all the way up to the ones that like the part about "women just shutting the entire fuck up" in church kinda sets the time for these women.
And on top of that they're told not to question it or rebel against it for any reason on pain of getting shot from a cannon straight to super hell.
So yeah, that part is ingrained for sure.
I do think at least some of the problem we face voting-wise are these people that are super-insulated and super-ignorant. For example, my own parents. I don't have much clue how big this specific thing is, but I know from them (and the people that I used to associate with due to being raised around them) that if you can ever get them into a discussion about it, that they won't have a defense for anything at all. They will just quote Fox News at anything. But even if you do manage to finally show enough evidence to make your point, even if you get past everything else...
Then, you will finally find out that they are single issue voters the whole time, and will do whatever mental gymnastics needed to prove that their side isn't just literal Nazis.
But really it's been focused down to one point for them, and one point only. And what is that point? Abortion. A very narrow, very near sighted version of abortion.
They really do think it's literally "killing babies", and any effort to support that at all is automatically devil work, so there's nothing else to really consider here. They don't even care about all the women who die from pregnancy-related problems. Those are just soldiers dying in the war to protect babies. Even now you can tell they don't really like the fact that they begrudgingly accept exceptions for things like ectopic situations, it clear black and white about-or-die situations. They're totally fine with pregnant women dying. As long as it's not just the fertilized cell clump that they call a human life. That mother should die with it in their view. Their job is to multiply and if they can't, they should go down with the ship.
This is at least somewhat abated in popular opinion now, but I would guess that's just a compromise they'll take to stop all the demons from killing as many as possible.
Anyway I've gotta get off this rant because I can feel my blood pressure going up, but to summarize:
Conservative women are taught to love the boot stepping on them. They're kinda in a brainwash situation I think, but they make it so much worse for themselves, and at some point I can't feel bad for them anymore.
Not sure if joke or if you're bad at math.
The abandoning of the rhythm is such a cat thing to do.
I mean he SHOULD kill himself on live TV. Give the people some good news while doing your actual best to be beneficial to the world.
Just wait until 2052 and someone makes a skibidi meme.
I love this show, and I'm not old.

I learned that from the other reply
