You really should read the thread to know what the pic is about Whiskey.

Edit:
Well, at least read this post viewtopic.php?p=1057754#p1057754

@ Eraser, I'll make it a point to read this topic completely as it just seemed (on a scan) some posters are bashing each other with text :smirk:

The pic went viral with captions like "millennials wouldn't know art if they would sit 10ft away from it" and such while in reality it's what Whiskey said - teenagers learning more about said art through a museum app.
The point being that technology is simply a part of the times and cane thumpers shouldn't dismiss youngsters using their phones on sight.

Oh wait no, you said something about kids not getting a drivers license these days as well, but that was all the fault of cellphones and Facebook :shrug:

I honestly don't know what his point is anymore. I was pretty sure technology was responsible for kids not socializing at one point during this conversation but now it's well not everyone and not all the time and yeah, I don't know anymore.

I think parenting/education plays a higher role in these problems than technology. That's all I'm saying.

Nowhere did I say kids shouldn't use technology nor did I promote disparaging them at a glance for doing so. I am completely for ALL technology. However, I believe the over use/abuse of those technologies can cause people to develop social issues.

I guess Don Carlos, Whiskey and Doombrain are no one.

Only in your world of nonsensical absolutes is that possible. :tard:

Don't forget Google tailors your search results based on browser history. And 0.61 seconds seems like a long time to get results back. Seems I remember Google boasting about returning results in fucking femtoseconds or someshit. :smirk:

@ Transient...

1. Yes, I see it does on more searches. FF & Incognito mode
2. femtoseconds :confused: I've never heard of the term... Googles... I see it is a minute piece (as in small and not 60 seconds) of time and measurable, well I dunno :smirk:

@ MKJ... I never thought to try a clean browser so I will in future so stuff like that :)

Oh don't even bother. It's not like you're going to get an honest conversation.
