      I don’t watch my dad use the computer anymore as I feel the same as the one in the comic.

      That time I saw him log in to his yahoo email (tldr; my dad uses google to go to yahoo)

      1. Open Chrome (which I set google.com as the homepage)
      2. Type in yahoo.com to the search bar
      3. Click yahoo.com from the results
      4. Click on the Mail button thing somewhere in that page

      Or that one time I asked him to login to to gmail account while he was browsing his yahoo email. (tldr; my dad does not believe in tabs)

      1. Close his Chrome browser with the yahoo email.
      2. Open Chrome again
      3. Type in gmail in the google search bar
      4. Click mail.google.com from the results.

        Oh… Oh No. Closing the entire browser to open a new tab. I don’t blame you at all for not being able to watch.

        I read the TL;DRs knowing what was going to happen only to continue reading and feel physical pain. What’s wrong with me…

        There was a recurring gag on Parks And Rec about Pawnee internet users needing Altavista so they could use it to navigate to Google. That joke felt very real.

        I can understand parents. My mom was an office admin before computers and she could type 130+ wpm on a typewriter, but she struggles with things like this. Bless her, I’m happy to help her whenever she needs. My dad was a DOS beast in his day but he can’t help himself from adding sketchy browser extensions.

        Now, when I run into peer “engineers” that use computers like this… That I cannot forgive

      At least he right-clicked instead of going for the menu at the top!
