I just checked out their website. It looks vastly different. It used to be mostly technical posts, and the logo even had a girl in overalls turning a wrench.
The types of posts look like it has greatly changed over the years. I'm curious as to why I was downvoted. I understand why the other person was downvoted ("literal cancer"). Oh well.
When I visited it last time, they tried to sell me a 100 dollar virus scanner app for my iPhone [1] so yeah I wasn’t exaggerating much. I’d much rather have Hodgkins Lymphoma than that site lol.
Language evolves. Literal clearly doesn’t just mean what literal literally meant a few decades back. It’s especially poetic when you’re using it in jest. Get over it?
Also who doesn’t know someone with cancer? 1 in 3 dies of it. Except for kids dying of brain cancer I don’t see what’s especially horrendous about it. As a matter of fact I’d much rather die of cancer than a brain aneurysm. Give me time to set my things in order?
