HEISENBEEEEEEERG!!!

The amount of time of mine that’s been wasted on telling people what the error message they came to me with says…

You can say no and not give a reason and people will respect it more. Give an excuse and watch them act like it’s a puzzle to be solved.

This legit? Genuine question. The people I grew up around tended not to take no for an answer so a convincing excuse was necessary, but they were assholes in general. This actually work for real people?

Even in the event that salesmen, politicians, corporations, etc, are genuinely and naively ignorant of something that causes an issue, their station is such that they should still be held fully at fault. A layperson just going about life the best they can is expected to fail, and make mistakes. But someone elevated to a position of power, or who’s entire schtick is attempting to gain from others, should be held to a much higher standard. Naturally, there are laypeople who can be malicious and feign ignorance, such as there are corporations that can have previously undetected safety issues that end up causing an accident. In the latter case, though, it makes far more sense to assume malicious intent until the company can prove they’re not negligent. Humans are social creatures who need to extent trust and form bonds with others, but extending that trust to people who are incapable for caring about you personally is a massive mistake.

I think he meant:

Bulk buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling if you must.

Honestly, it wasn’t a conscious decision, I just got tired of being angry. It’s exhausting.

That’s not to say I’ve forgiven any of them. Quite the opposite in fact: I’ve simply set a mental rule of “never accomodate them in any way” across the board so I don’t have to expend any more emotional energy on it.

Paying for the honor of either giving the government more money, or convincing them that they took too much and to give it back. But don’t worry, they’ll double check your work sometimes to make sure you gave them enough (fuck you if you gave them too much though). Oh, thinking “if they know how much I owed them anyway, why do I have to do this shit in the first place?” Fuck you, that’s why.

Man now I’m wondering who are the nerds holding up that last 29% of value it has. i can’t imagine that many people paying for verification.

Whoever you are: just let go~ let Xitter sink unceremoniously into the abyss~

If i wasn’t lazy I’d link that one XKCD with the line of people that are like “oh, x is just applied y!” “y is just applied z!” Until physics thinks they’re on top but math is so far off the edge they can’t even hear what’s happening

But it’s only transmissible via consumption like mad cow disease, is that correct? If so, at the very least it shouldn’t become an epidemic, just very bad for the environment and deer jerky enthusiasts.

Edit: Nope, nvmd, I’m dumb. They said it’s really contagious and these prions can persist a long fucking time on surfaces. I’m gonna just never go outside again, thanks, I ain’t fucking with no prion disease.
