  • I have zero programming experience and zero computer know how at all. I am, however, out of a job and in desperate need for cash for the simple basics. So I dunno how long this is going to take but not being able to see the big picture and not knowing if I’m wasting my time… oh my christ do I relate to that. Even the request had me staring at it like “Oh god.” I did warn them that there was no guarantee it would ever materialize due to my own failings and if it did it would be a hot damn minute.

    I have so many saved tabs right now about rust and apis and docker and sql stuff. For someone whose total computer knowledge is “Settings where the things go” and “don’t delete system32” this is… terrifying.

    Well, there’s a couple of flaws with your conclusion.

    The first is that I didn’t say whether or not I believed it. That is irrelevant to the situation which is your own behavior.

    The second point is that being entertained by something does not mean inherently believing it. Someone can enjoy something without thinking it’s pure truth. If you want to argue that fact then I really suggest you never watch a scary movie because you could end up being mistakenly beliving it’s true and them becoming a serial killer!

    Your comment is valid in the sense that it’s allowed to be made. It’s invalid in the sense that it, well, doesn’t make any. It’s a self centered view on the world that acts like you are the be-all and end-all of what gets to be judged. Moreover, you don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept of false entertainment for fun. Seems like a really sad world honestly. Only ever able to watch documentaries. You know. Because reality matches it so you’re not being ‘deluded’.

    Clown.

    They still added more content and something more interesting than a pessimistic dismissive comment.

    I do not understand this type of shit. Just… get on with your life. Is it so empty that you need to focus on negative things and complain about them?

    Edit: For the clarification needed, @seeyouatthepartyrichter initially said the typical “this 100% happened” thing.

    Then they doubled down and said anyone who believed this type of stuff was a fool expecting ‘reality to match their delusion’. They then insisted they weren’t going to read anything posted and kept shrieking at the top of their lungs like a 5 year old child.
