on the U train

Dear Ultimi Barbarorum, please crawl up your own ass and die. Ah yes, I’m a WOMAN therefore I like things to be USEFUL instead of TINKERY and OPEN. And when I get OLD I will want things to be very simple so they don’t stress my old woman brain!

This line of thinking is so full of sexist, ageist, illogical bullshit that it’s almost not worth the effort to skewer. Here’s a petite newsflash for anyone seriously considering this opinion: you are a goddamn idiot. Yes, you. The idea that a device cannot be both easy to use and easy (within reason) to hack and manipulate for your own ends is the kind of thing that lingers in the brains of people who never saw the Flip coming.
