There's a fine line between your job being easier and your job being redundant, though

Ok, I just reread it. I don't see what you think I'm missing. You mean an improperly written find command misbehaving? The fact that a different date format could prevent a bug from manifesting doesn't seem like much of an argument.
But $(date) does return a string with spaces, at least on every system I've ever used. And what's so bad about the possibility of spaces in filenames? They're slightly inconvenient in a command line, but I haven't used a commuter this century that didn't support spaces in filenames.
It matches the historical usage of the terms. As far as I can tell the definition has barely changed in modern times; a lot of people have just tried to redefine them based on their own misunderstanding.
People in a D&D subreddit aren't playing D&D; they're talking about playing D&D. Those are completely valid topics to bring up.
Nobody's blaming previous generations for causing climate change before it became widely known that it was a problem. We blame them (or the ones a majority of them elected, to be precise) for fighting tooth and nail to avoid doing anything once it became clear how big of a problem it is.
Trans people.
Sir, this is the internet.
It's ironic people use "Austin" to refer to the city itself as well as the government of Texas, and the two Austins hate each other.
Wireless implies batteries. Hell no.
IIRC one of the issues with the 737 Max was that it had wireless internal components whose lithium ion batteries could catch fire. If you can't even get batteries right on a product constantly maintained by a professional crew, what are the odds of it working out well in a car?
No? Maybe I just ignored them because that's such a dumb take. Anything that allows someone to do more work than they could before will lead to job losses, and that includes the vast majority of technological innovation.
The main exception I can think of is domestic appliances, but even that is questionable. Few "jobs" were lost because housekeeping is mostly unpaid labor. Even then, the idea that married women should be able to afford to stay home and take care of chores is gone. I think the automation of domestic work has a lot to do with why it's now the norm for both partners in a marriage to work outside the home.
