  • Honestly, yeah. I get that social interaction is awkward for some people. I myself have Asperger’s (shut the fuck up, Cartman, I see your pudgy ass back there fidna pipe up), and I’ve never found people easy to understand. I think there really needs to be an initiative to teach people, normal people, how to use this stuff, and it doesn’t start by being an asshole. It starts by giving a shit and answering questions if you know the answers, or by helping people understand what might be going wrong. Even a word or two is helpful for beginning a Google search, but you have to know what you’re looking for in order to start looking for it.

    RTFM

    The battlecry of everyone that bitches that people aren’t willing to use Linux but won’t bother to meet them where they are.

    Does it ever occur to you that people often don’t even know what they need to Google? Half the time I do Google something, it comes to some forum or Reddit post of someone screaming READ THE FUCKING MANUAL, but not even giving that user some hint what they’re even looking for in your religious scriptures.

    You want people to use Linux? You need to meet them where they are, not take it as an opportunity to show how smart much of a smartass you are.

    Be better than that.










  • America was not in the Bible. Hot Dogs were not in the Bible. Fireworks were not in the Bible. The constitution was not in the Bible. The second amendment was not in the Bible.

    If these things are so good, yada yada…

    My mother also talked about how one of the disciples died by being crucified upside down. Not only is this not in the Bible, the particular piece of literature describing the event never actually said he died.

    I started enjoying the Bible in the same capacity someone enjoys Lord of the Rings or Dune. In doing so, I’ve 1) found it easier to read, and 2) found some certified gangster moments, like David holding up a piece of cloth to Saul and essentially going “coulda killed you in your sleep, biatch”

    I’m digressing. Point is, these people have never actually read the Bible. They pretend to have, but they haven’t. To be fair, it’s a piece of literature so dense it makes Shakespeare look like Flake chocolate, but fuck…
