  • That’s true, but further proves my point that people should know more about the systems they interact with and how to manipulate them. If someone burns down their house while trying to replace an electrical outlet, that is not a sign that home handymen should not be replacing electrical outlets.





  • You don’t need to know how to run a nuclear power plant, but you do need to know what wires are

    This analogy actually works kind of well. Like, you don’t actually need to know anything about wiring to use a light switch, but if something goes wrong in your house and you need to fix it, having just a little bit of knowledge about how the device works can save you hundreds of dollars and days of downtime.

    It can also help you avoid making the mistakes that cause those problems in the first place, whether the issue is that you don’t know what setting you accidentally changed, or you don’t know how many watts you can safely pull out of an outlet

    Edit: I spoke too highly of Linux in this comment, I think. While it is true that I have used Linux daily for nearly a year, it has not been as simple as a drop in replacement for Windows. Given a choice, I absolutely prefer Windows, but I will not be using Windows 11, and I don’t want to use Windows 10 after it loses support in a few months.

    Installed Mint like 8 months ago. I didn’t even notice that my windows install was doing the failed automatic repair thing until I tried to boot it up for F360 in December, and still haven’t bothered to fix it because Tinkercad was good enough. Try convincing me that Linux Mint is not a drop-in linux solution for the everyday user lmao

    That’s what I’m saying. Dave Brandt didn’t pose for that photo expecting to become famous. If you recognize him walking down the street, your reaction is going to be “hey I recognize him! That’s the ‘honest work’ guy!” But if you recognize Nicole walking on the street, your reaction is going to be “oh fuck her”

    I don’t mean you specifically, I mean you in a general sense

    What makes you think I’ve been banned from Reddit? The fact that I don’t like the superiority complex lemmings have about our relatively tiny social network?

    ETA: Not all of us were correctly banned from Reddit for abusing the report system. I have a perfectly functional Reddit account, and I choose to spend my time here because it’s a better platform. I just don’t like to cum in my own mouth about it

    I feel so bad for this girl. Nobody who becomes a meme wanted to become a meme, but at least most of them got 15 minutes of fame and are largely ignored. Imagine if the thing you were best known for was being the face of a social media spamming campaign.

    I just really don’t like the arrogant, self-congratulatory tone some users of this platform have. We’re just all so much better and smarter and cooler than those dumbass redditors, and all we had to do was sign up for a different social media platform
