agree

Also dont be pedantic you fuck, a date field is just a fuckton of checkboxes that is easier to use.

where did I say a date field is hard to use? or how is this relevant?

The 'easier to use' is a descriptor for how a date field works. Im not implying that you said a date field is difficult. I'm explaining what a date field is in a very watered down, very layman-esque way.

Its not relevant. And yet you still brought it up. It doesnt matter to the conversation at all, similar to how checkbox vs date field doesn't matter to the conversation at all.
