What is the dumbest "hot take" you've heard from an expert?

I'll start.
> Bookmarks are dead. There is no reason for bookmarks to exist anymore, since the search engines exist. They were important, when the internet was startingm but now, you just write what you want to see, and Google will give it to you anyway.

@LukeAlmighty this guy is probably stuck in 2010 when the Google suite was only getting better and better

@latein
Even, if Google works, and you remember the correct words:

It still is one mouse click, vs writing down exactly what you want to look up, letting another page load up, some reading and then selecting the correct page.

That is definitelly not the same thing.

@LukeAlmighty unless you've got a spyware browser or you've set something up, your bookmarks will stay on the one browser application, and if you bookmark enough stuff to supplant search engine usage you're going to have to do a lot more than "one mouse click" to find what you're looking for in it. whereas looking up a few keywords has the same access time in every case

@latein @LukeAlmighty i have a lot of bookmarks but i have them all sorted out very nicely on my bookmarks bar and i can get to exactly where i want to go with 2 mouse clicks max, versus clicking into the URL bar and beginning to type something which will take two actions minimum and requires two devices to be used instead of just one.

@beardalaxy @latein @LukeAlmighty ctrl-L to reduce it to 1 device

The browser will also show you bookmarks when typing into the url bar based on the bookmark url/title without having to load a page

Also I'd forget shit if I didn't bookmark it

I went from bookmarking everything to bookmarking nothing. And now I have my own bookmarking thing (WIP), outside the browser, where I bookmark the websites I use infrequently or just want to keep for future reference. The sites I use frequently, I just type the URL (or I have them in a custom webpage that I made and set up as my home page everywhere.

@LukeAlmighty "democrats are the real white supremacists" :cat_laugh: 🤪

Well, whenever I feel worthless, it's good to know, that 1/2 the world believe, that I am literally capable of bending the world to my will.

Like, I seriously mean this. For a nazi, I am just another white brother. But for a liberal, I am fucking Lex Luthor.

They think I'm evil... Obviously. But once you hear them describe what whites are capable of, it's impossible to not let that affect your ego ;D

@Senator_Armstrong
And I'm not joking.
Yesterday, while I was at gym, I looked to a mirror, and literally told myself... You know they are terrified of you, right???

It's a huge ego boost.

@LukeAlmighty All the nazis did was crack down on criminals and grift. There was nothing evil about them. They were great people.
