You HAVE to realize that there are people who can’t even afford the groceries in the first place?! Not everyone is your mom wasting money on stuff they can’t afford! Some people don’t have it in the first place!
After this I’m convinced you’ve never seen a single actual difficult day in your life, sorry. To say that you’re “traumatized” by having too much food in the fridge and spending too much money on buying stuff is fucking hilarious, though.
Oooh, what a beautiful word! It’d fallen out of my vocab. Thanks for that.
You really are lmao…
But like… why? Isn’t that a waste of time, something you hold dear? That gives these religious leaders a lot of power over you, for you to practically be praying to every one of them, every day, probably spending more time praying than actual religious people are…
Unless you’re just saying you do, to look edgy on the internet…? But who would do that…
You managed to take a paragraph about growing up with enough money to go on several hour long grocery trips every week to keep a fridge full of food that nobody had to eat to not go hungry… and tried to make it sound like it was the struggle that motivated you to greatness.
I hope you gain some perspective man. I really do hope you’re the very young Tech Bro I pegged you as because you’ve got time to grow out of this nasty behavior… best of luck to ya.
I opened the thread thinking, “this has to be a bait post where the op just soapboxes about how much better at life they are than everyone else, and argues with literally everyone offering perspective” and I’m glad to see I was not wrong! Boy if your replies aren’t some of the least self aware, most elitist stuff I’ve seen here so far.
I dunno man, why doesn’t everyone with actual problems just ahh, buy an Android phone, learn how to program or do whatever the hell else you think everyone should be doing to just simply live the obviously better life that you have?
Oh wait, not everyone has the same opportunities as everyone else, and so not only may these options be unavailable to a lot of people, they may also be completely useless in solving someone’s difficult life.
You sound like a Tech Bro in their early twenties who landed a sweet job out of college (that they didn’t pay for) and wonders why people choose to be homeless. And before you try to correct me, that’s what you sound like, so unless that’s the persona you wanna give off, maybe try to listen to what people are saying instead of trying to find out how they’re wrong.
Do you really think people with “difficult lives” are so stressed out because they forgot to take the garbage out multiple times? Seriously? Christ 😂
why?
Maybe English is a second language and the sarcasm was lost, maybe they’re autistic and don’t understand what the issue is; maybe they do need media literacy classes, is taking the chance on the first two possibilities worth the joke though? 🤷🏾♂️ I feel like there had to have been at least one time where you didn’t understand something, even though you’re so smart as to understand the topic of this post while others don’t.
Why do you feel the need to insult someone else’s intelligence for not understanding a reference to a 20 year old videogame’s bad tourney rules? Do you find your own lacking?

Simple.
Just swallow a really long rope, then when it comes out the other end, have some people pull on both ends really hard.
I’m real sorry but if I had to visualize it so did you
I hope this doesn’t come across as rude or pedantic, but a comma at the beginning of your sentence would help readability.
I was wondering what “weirdly high fructose corn syrup” they were testing with, for a moment there.
Every once in a while I’ll just skip a night’s sleep, then go the bed and wake up at the normal time the following day.
I used to recover after a day or two of normal sleep, but now that I’m getting a little “older” (ie not invincibly young anymore) I’m usually wrecked for a week after pulling this stunt.
Why? Usually videogames or YouTube and “because I can”. No, I’m not the healthiest individual.
Oh I’m way past octoprint and have advanced to klipper, it just would be nice for similar applications, or for people who don’t want to set up something similar.
Things like this would be so useful in the tinkering community, so many motherboards and such use micro SD cards or USB drives as a primary storage device. Before I gutted my 3d printer and put a computer inside it, I had to schlep the micro SD card back and forth from the printer to the computer room… being able to send it wireless would’ve been great. Looked into it at the time but as other have said all the current solutions are dog shit.
Yeah that’s the only reason I don’t plan on getting one of these types of devices. I’ve got giant hands and anything that fits in my pocket like that is going to require me to angle my thumbs nearly against my palms to use the sticks 😭
That… I… but you…
You told me me not to engage in something. I quoted you to show you that you were discouraging discourse. How is this lost on you?
The same reason mine can’t; because I didn’t care to phrase it as such. If I were actually interested in starting a dialogue, I wouldn’t have phrased the last line of my parent comment the way I did. I would have asked the question in a neutral or positive tone to show the reader that I’m not attacking their position, explicitly or implicitly.
“People that XYZ, why?”
This phrasing is automatically othering anyone that would be able to respond. Without any other context, it can easily be interpreted with more hostility, especially online.
“What are the benefits of using motion blur?”
This phrasing puts no implicit judgment on the person, and instead seeks to find positive attributes of the subject in question. Any bias that can be inferred is positive.
While I concede that op certainly could have asked the question in genuine earnest, my time on the Internet has taught me that the likelihood of that is far less likely than that of op asking a sarcastic question.
I’m fairness, I also never explicitly said anything that op said was wrong. Or anything explictly about op at all for that matter.
Any hostility you can infer from my comment can be equally be inferred from OP’s title.
So… Let’s stop talking to each other altogether…?
I hope my questions don’t come across as me dismissing or distrusting what you are saying, but this is the first I’ve heard about this information and I find it interesting.
When you say that it caused a distrust in aid workers, where did this distrust come from, and where did it end up? To rephrase, from my understanding, bin Laden wasn’t exactly a good guy locally either, so if civilians found out that he was taken out with the help of undercover aid workers, would that not strengthen the trust that the aid workers were there to help? The only people that should be wary after finding this out would be his supporters, no?
Unless the fear is more of an outside force interfering with your government, good or bad, which is more understandable, especially in a time and place where information wasn’t as readily available. I’m sure it’s obvious, but I’m a US citizen, and though I absolutely detest the man and his following, I’d be pretty fucking concerned if China had Trump popped.
