    Eh, but this is kinda true for all trade/niche publications?

    IT publications would have, “Portal to hell messing with your wifi? Try this.”

    Cooking blogs — “Portal to hell, hello to flavor!”

    Meanwhile, a patch shows up on the Linux kernel mailing list — “fix rng behavior: portal to hell causes /dev/random to be less secure with increased frequency of 0x06 0x06 0x06.”

      be boomer
      spend 20 years nursing, educating, and raising your child
      turns out they’re just as much a fuckup as you are, but thanks to technological and social progress, inflation, and various other economic and political factors, living in a vastly more complex world than you were at the same age, so they’re struggling
      blame the child
