If someone refers to the Internet as the dot com in my presence I may fucking kill myself.
I visibly cringe when people say "the web."

WelI she has this massive superiority complex and thinks she's always right so every once in a while I have to fuck with her. If I try to explain any computer technology post internet birth she just stares at me like I'm a wizard. Later I watched her try to figure out Windows 10 and was utterly lost. Cortana was fun.

I was just editing a personal website in terminal and got stared at hard af by some normies in the bakery.
