I yell at any co worker about exactly this. We even deal with the public and they use terms and jargon no one will understand it leads to mistakes.
It's just weird gatekeeping.
Oddly enough multiple classes I took at uni even covered communicating with simple terms, being understandable, and not using jargon. Yet here we are still...
If it didn't have an official demo, I "acquired" it before I bought it.
I don't buy games unless I know it will be something I like.

Dude. rabbits!
Did not know the horror until family visited and their dog caught one and was playing with it. So terrifying!
Exactly what I bring up when argumentative people show up with any of the inane food definitions "hot dog is sandwich" or "milkshake is soup" and what not.
Could the killjoys and permanently miserable go comment on a different sub? This is a supposed to be a wholesome place. I know Lemmy is filled with perpetually angry people but do you guys have to come here and complain about every detail?

Every single dream I have is lucid. Nightly I live entire lifetimes and wake up and have to convince myself this is reality and I don't have those friends and families. To this day there are times I have to ask my irl friends and family if a certain memory is real or not.

A lot of people just don't want to work. Jobs suck. Heck, I like my job. It's a good job. it pays well, it's not stressful, I've automated the tedium,no get plenty of vacation time. Give me the option to not go back and id take it faster than you can blink.
I could vacation for 6 months and I would just appreciate the vacation, travel, and free time more and more. I still wouldn't want to go back to a job.
