Installing stuff, then looking online for a way to fix an annoyance, find a script to fix a StackOverflow post that vaguely matches our issue, only to break that thing even more. Rinse and release, ad nauseum.

No one admits when they don't know something. The mentality of, fake it until you make it, casts ignorance as some sort of failure to be ridiculed. As a result we have politicians and laymen believing they can do something or know better than experts on a specific topic.

The other is the complete lack of humility or embarrassment when fucking up. People will just stream or post their most idiotic ideas to get 'views,' even if it makes them look terrible. This idea where you need to live-stream your entire life baffles me. Not sure if this falls under the tech and social media restriction of this post.

It's like when a toddler gets overly emotional and tries to smack at you!

I learned the secret for beating a polygraph test from Penn and Teller's Bullshit!. The secret is clenching your buttcheeks the whole time, only relaxing when telling a lie.

Aren't death sticks a Star Wars reference?

Exactly! As soon as they started bombing everything and using safe zones to group up civilians to bomb them easier, I was done listening to anyone suggesting they were jUsT dEfEnDiNg ThEmSeLvEs. You don't bomb civilians and children and you don't bomb the places you've outlined as refugee safe zones, medical units, or journalists. Bunch of fucking monsters.

I can't make my Mini-mouse with hunky Millhouse crossover sex art without a C&D and psychology recommendation, but sure, these rich assholes can steal the works of others. Somehow their business is more important than the rights of the people that they would definitely sue if you showed more than 3s of copyrighted work that they owned...

I was a firm believer that all the really close personal guy friends I'd ever had, I made in high school or before. The idea that as an adult male that I could expect to make another real bond with anyone new, outside of this circle of old friends, was impossible. Until it did. In my mid to early 30s, my dept. merged with his. We had talked a few times while making fun of clueless users forgetting their passwords, so I already knew we would get along as coworkers. He was a groomsman at my wedding many years later.

I know it can seem insurmountable to find meaningful male friendships in mid-upper 20s and 30s, but it does happen. I'm rooting for you friend. Take care of yourself.

There was also that time he didn't check the expiration date on the milk and wrote, Mein Klumpfs.

It's just crypto all the way down!

Don't feel bad. Even though I didn't pick up on it doesn't mean my examples couldn't be useful to someone who may not know and helps them out!

If I could ask, how did you pick your Lemmy name? Does it mean something?

That seems to matter little to this regime. So, I ask again, what happens when they clash? We saw them stage a situation and try to arrest sitting members of congress and a mayor. In a sane world, you are correct. We don't live in that world so subordination doesn't matter!
