Every reply person comes in 1 of exactly 2 flavors

1. "Oh, having a problem with Windows? Bet you wish you were using Linux now, huh bootlicker?" [Me: "How would you solve the problem in Linux then?"] [Them: "Oh I've never used Linux I just read about it on Wikipedia"]

2. Hey uhhhh I'm so sorry to assume there are things in the world you don't know but… have you tried [actual fucking cheat codes, deep secrets not documented anywhere] I'm sorry…I'm so sorry I'm going to go delete my account now

Note: If the anonymous Cohost ask I got above is you, I apologize if the above post has the appearance of making fun of you, that was not my intent

I try to follow a rule in life of being as limitlessly patient with people as I possibly can be until I break—UNLESS I have reason to believe the person I'm interacting with is fucking with me, in which case I drop patience levels directly to zero.

I do worry this leads to me seeming erratic because, at some point, due to me misreading a situation, or me getting 100 messages on a subject over 2 days, or possibly just head pain, maybe I *do* snap at someone who thought they were being reasonable

@mcc oh yeah I do this too and have the same worry

it keeps me up at night sometimes. it's 0413 right now. i'm up

@whitequark I have been attempting to form a mental model of your sleep schedule for our entire acquaintance and never once have I felt I was getting close to the truth
@mcc um... would it help if i said that we're in the same boat? ^^;
@whitequark @mcc fuckin mood lol
@whitequark @mcc there's a reason I call my timezone UTC+rand()
@gsuberland Probably the same reason I tried my level best not to organise morning meetings with you.
