on language, snobbery, and racism – Courtney Cantrell's COURT CAN WRITE

It’s a shame you can’t have the last word when you block an idiot.

I do not have the time, energy, or crayons to fully illustrate how bad of an idea it is to argue with me about my areas of expertise. I would rather not have to whip out a dissertation’s worth of infodump that no one has the attention span to read and absorb but goddamnit so help me, if there is a way to write about KPop in a Psychology dissertation I will, just so I have something already prepared to point to and go, “Actually, it’s NOT a matter of opinion. You’re wrong, and here are 200 pages of reasons why you are wrong.”

Seriously. Life goal. Here are the receipts and done.

@mackaj @Hypx @zem @mxey can you take me out of your pointless fight over which car will win in the future which is COMPLETELY USELESS as neither of you can look into the future and both cars are CO2 free.

Really i don't care for anyone's of your opinions on that as you have gone down to the point just calling each other wrong. Neither one of you reacts on each others arguments (or others), you just list the same arguments over and over again.

I really don't care who buys which car as long as it does not exhause CO2.

Okay, which of you nerds still has an Office '97 manual or installation, and might be able to settle the question of the Office Assistant's official given name?

Wikipedians are still insisting it was always officially 'Clippit'.

CommonsLab reported as malware?

Sure. Were it not, I wouldn’t have invested enough time for this thread and related reports. While is is popular security mantra for general population, it is completely unusable in practice, as issue is waaaaay more complex than that. As the saying goes: “only truly safe computer is one that has been disconnected from network, turned off, crushed in hydraulic press, encased in concrete and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.” In the end (in practice) it boils down to ephemeral concept of trust...

I'm increasingly hearing people refer to their ISP connection as their WiFi connection... even when it's not wireless. This disturbs me. I'm also increasingly less outraged every time I hear it. This disturbs me even more. #NetEng #SomeoneIsWrongOnTheInternet
