Friends, it getting dark on retrospring.. just 9 days.. maybe consider going to this instance of the retro software: https://ask.absturztau.be - I'm there!
I suppose everybody has their reasons, maybe some are bitter about their lacking relationships? Depending on who you ask, there's also an underlying crass commercialism that undermines the supposedly romantic roots of the occasion...it's fine either way though, people can have Romance Day and everybody mad about it can sit there and cope

I can only speak for this gilded shithole country I live in, but there is likely some technical or regulatory reason they have to keep older systems online, I will give you a couple of examples - I used to do work for a hospital, they often had to connect and collect data from the state for benefits and stuff, and we had to keep a PC with a dial-up modem running up until around 2016 or so because it was the only way they could connect to the state's databases...also, there is a law that all mobile phones have to put all emergency/911 calls through, even if there is no service active...an older phone might not have a radio that connects to modern cell networks so maybe the older ones still need to exist, but anyway no do what you gotta
nah the context and intent behind a word's use are much more important than where the word came from, besides war and death words/phrases/metaphors/analogies are widespread throughout language, they are part of the common human experience everywhere, they get used because everyone can quickly wrap their heads around the concepts for more efficient communication, hey I heard in French an orgasm is called 'petit mort'? Literally 'little death' ...here people will say they 'bombed' an exam if they did poorly, comedians 'killed' if they did well, anyway I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's how you use the words that make them ethical or not - like with a gun, shooting the machete-wielding guy running at you wouldn't be considered unethical, but taking the same gun and shooting the same ammo at the lunch lady because she forgot the gravy would be
