No, no, they have a point - if they can imagine something that's perfectly uniform and sparkly, then that'd actually be something novel

Damn shame it was cancelled after the second season
I wouldn't blame the kid too much, he may have grown up to be a good person... But the teacher was abusing her position without verifying the accusations, and nobody else intervened?
The issue is that the privacy policy changed on an old game people bought long ago, and now they're not allowed to play the game without agreeing to the changes.
Not if the sphere is solid!
Sorry, you misunderstood - the change was forced, it's not what I'm referring to. I don't remember the exact way it worked, but I'm pretty sure they were pretty explicit about what the change is, at least.
What I'm saying is, you can go back to using your own nickname - I don't remember the exact process used, but I think the trick was to create a "brand account", which is basically an additional identity tied to your account, move everything to that identity, and use it instead of your private identity with your real name.
I forgot how it works exactly, but I'm pretty sure when google was doing that I created a brand account(?) and linked my channel to it, something like that, putting them behind a nickname while preserving the entire history. I don't remember the exact process, but nothing really changed for how I use YouTube, except I get to use a nickname.
Way more people read the headline than the article itself, and the writers know that, but decided to only and specifically call it "tap water" in the headline. They knew it'll get more clicks, and seemingly didn't care about the people who will come away from it with a misconception.
email is high bandwidth
I don't think the reasons you stated are about bandwidth, and considering writing an email is IMO more effort than explaining on a phone call and will take me longer, I'd argue phone calls are higher bandwidth than email - at least in one on one conversations, since things change when you want to inform multiple people.
Though of course what you listed is important, and it sucks when people refuse to write out basic details that you could come back to later or forward to somebody else.
I get the impression a big part is also just engagement, in a sense - social media is built to provide a constant stream of engaging content, keeping you hooked and anticipating the next thing.
Slowing down and doing something that isn't so endlessly exciting might help, like watching a bit of a documentary, or reading a book (one that doesn't however captivate you too much) seems like a decent idea, much better than doomscrolling or watching short form videos one after another.
I had the impression cloud was about the opposite - detaching your server software from physical machines you manage, instead paying a company to provide more abstracted services, with the ideal being high scalability by having images that can be deployed en masse independent of the specifics of where they're hosted and on what hardware. Pay for "storage", instead of renting a machine with specific hardware and software, for example.
To be fair, taking care of a pet temporarily is an entirely different matter to having a pet permanently. I wouldn't trust myself to care for a pet day by day for years, but taking on that responsibility for a few days while also getting the benefit of having an already trained pet for that time?
