Regular people thinking they know more than experts + internet forums. Name a more iconic duo.

Same thing happened up here in Canada
And look at all the crime he's committed. Oops, wait, he hasn't.
By nature of successfully being considered legally insane (which is not easy to do), he doesn't have malicious intent, though. Not in the eyes of the law. By being not in the right mind, it's as if it wasn't actually him that committed the crime.
We should be making decisions based on facts, not emotions. It's easy for a horrible crime to make us feel "what the fuck, he should rot in prison". But ask yourself why the insanity defense even exists if not to allow seriously ill people to be helped.
I remember wondering this when I was first trying to self learn. It's because I needed a map (or list + struct or something) and was such a noob I didn't know what maps were. Whatever material I was learning from wasn't good enough, especially for winging things. Plus I was trying to learn C++ and maps aren't quite so built into the language as they are with a better first language like Python.
Doesn't apply to every climate, but Stardew also doesn't make you face the physical pain of air that hurts your face.
I find it more common to do this for replies to my comments. I'm far more likely to post a first comment in a thread, but if someone has some disagreeing reply, the odds I'll say "fuck it, I don't care" is a lot, lot higher.
You might get some enjoyment out of Mark Rober's series where he builds contraptions to mess with porch pirates. Nothing directly harmful like wasps, but he builds a box that basically records the thief, glitter bombs them, sprays bad smells, and in some later iterations, has an ominous countdown and fake police radio.
He also tries to catch some people who break into parked cars the same way, but with much less success as they turned out to be a lot more organized and scarier.
I'd argue that they have asked for trucks to get so big because they seemingly sell better that way. It's admittedly an imperfect thing to look at since there's few alternatives and many other factors, but these big trucks didn't immediately take over the market. At some point they were introduced and consumers liked them.
As someone who also loves that one and considered Airplane the best comedy, I concur. I'll also add both Hot Shots movies to that.
When you have a 3D printer, you have a compulsion to come up with uses for it, even if they're useless. 3D printers are great, but there's this urge to find more ways to use it, rather than be driven by what you want/need.
I hate writing code in either language. But at least what C has going for it is that it's waaaay simpler than C++. Simple can be a really good thing. Sure, all those cool features can save you time, but they can also be gotchas that will cause bugs.
Though it is a balancing act. Too simple and you'll make mistakes due to how much you have to repeat yourself or using unsafe equivalents (like using preprocessor directives to mimic features that C++ natively supports).
