    My Mom is far too old to know anything about Limewire.

    what are you expecting dude?

    Literally any sort of explanation why you think “sideload” = “dangerous”? Other than just repeating that it is over and over.

      Side loading makes it seems like it’s not going through the proper channels. You are loading it from the side while the play store is the right way.

      It implies the play store is the center.

      Sideload Sideroad Sidekick Sidecar

      Using side infront of something means it’s lesser for the most part.

        Since when are any of those examples considered dangerous lmao

        Sideloading is exactly the same as a side road. It’s a less polished and a less intended road for people to take.

          Because it’s not downloading, which is the thing every one thinks is normal. It’s different, and potentially dangerous, which your phone will remind you any time you try to do it.

          You guys are kind of missing my point and hyper focusing on the word here.

          There is nothing inherently dangerous about the word sidealley but if you’re at night with someone that is already fearful of the city and you tell them you are taking a sidealley, they might not be so willing.

          Someone that doesn’t know how to drive well will probably avoid the bumpy and confusing sideroads.

          The word has negative connotation and it’s use is benefiting Google. That’s my main point, maybe I should of used less safe instead of dangerous.

            I think we more just disagree with your points rather than miss them. We have never seen this term be scary for the non technically involved people in our lives, nor has the examples you provided to prove your point been considered scary to people we know.

            Many times, people in this chain have effectively asked for proof of what you claim, but you just keep reiterating your feeling/opinion.

            Now, it’s possible that everyone here just associates with people who aren’t afraid of technology enough to run across it, but that’s all we have to work with until provided evidence.

          Between hero and Sidekick, which do you think is better. Stop nitpicking and find someone else to fight with, you lout.
