I just never know with yall if my snarky shit will get +50 or -7.
It still bothers me how much of the comment sections here are full of people who didn’t read the articles but clearly I’ll need to find a softer touch :)
If you want to take a look at yourself and profit from this exchange, here’s how.
Consider that there are two types of people in this world.
Some people get excited when someone asks about a topic they know: they’re happy to show off their knowledge and help someone who’s interested in what they know.
And then there are people who look down on others for asking, and think that everyone should soldier out of ignorance all on their own by googling and going to the library. No asking others! These people self appoint as gatekeepers of the entire community’s time.
You were #2 here. Why? Stop talking about what frustrates you in other people and ask why you couldn’t be the first kind of person.
You remind me of a guy I once knew. I asked if I could borrow his cable crimper over the weekend and he said no, because the only reason he owned one is that no one was around to loan him theirs. So he was going to do me a favor and make me buy my own.
It was such an unnecessary, grim, douche bag little speech he gave me. He was a bitter fuck and he decided to share. I now own a cable crimper which I haven’t touched in 20 years.
Sorry for being an asshole about it.
