The "just google it" mantra has probably held back quite a lot of interesting conversations and debate

It's because there are a great deal of people who will waste others' time by trolling. There are many communities who have to endure people constantly asking folks to validate why they deserve to exist. Then to those folks there could be a few who may actually be open to conversation but it's like mining the spam folder for honest messages. If at 10k ft it looks like it could be trolling it's best for their mental health to just let the folder do what the folder does.

Elektrek: "Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night"

Frankly, it speaks incredibly poorly to the NHTSA that this kind of behavior is allowed. "Beta testing" a machine learning driving assistance feature on active highways at 70+ miles an hour is a recipe for disaster. Calling it Full-Self Driving while also not having guardrails on its behavior is false advertising as well as just plain dangerous.

Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology?

Damn near guaranteed.

Technology doesn't stop but at a point you get stuck in your ways. Sure you could use Windows Settings App, but you know how to navigate the control panel and the settings app is so damn cluttered. I could potentially live to be 90 something but I'm for sure intimidated by what tech would look like in 50 years.

Others are empowered and emboldened to do the same thing regardless of whether this person's name makes it out. The right knows that they have a near monopoly on political violence so their agenda is to feed poison to the unstable so that they'll commit violence to make people fear to be themselves and supportive of others. I've heard about a shit-ton of abortion clinic bombings and murders, can't think of a single "crisis pregnancy center" issue.

Hell, when the Supreme Court got concerned about protesters they were absolutely fine with there being special guidelines for them. But for a person seeking an abortion? Nope, you'll get to have unstable "Christian" shitheads yelling in your face while they take pictures of you and your car to distribute to their network of terrorists.
