This was highly effective when I used it in real life.
The conspiracy theorist got real mad demanding I name sources, I kept telling him to find it on the internet with fake search terms.

That was what I thought five years ago. I was on the verge of removing it, and the android Facebook app killed my phone’s battery, so delete it went.
And suddenly all my family drama stopped and if someone needs to get in touch with me, how surprising that they still found a way.
I forget who the author was but they said something along the lines of writing is fighting the urge to fix that weird spot on your shoe.
I switched to Linux a few years ago and you are not wrong.
Windows is a nightmare with directory organization.
Saved games can go:
When I was in college, the science department was a group of people at a table going, “Hey nerd! I bet you like computers, don’t you?”
And I did and I walked over.
Doing minor “crime” in school was how I became a programmer!

Unhelpful because it happens so frequently?
Police can lie. And because OP has added to the potential crime scene, they are now a potential person to interrogate.
Do it anonymously.
That’s actually a good barometer.
If it’s a thing where it’s potentially violent, like a guy with a bat smashing up parked cars, call the police.
A crazy man talking about how the Lizard men have taken his stereo, I’m calling the non-emergency number or ask 911 to send behavioral specialists.
Losing their jobs? Uh what?
This is a very rude question, but on this subject of being lean, I looked up your 990, and you pay yourself less than … well, you pay yourself half or a third as much as some of your engineers.
Yes, and our goal is to pay people as close to Silicon Valley’s salaries as possible, so we can recruit very senior people, knowing that we don’t have equity to offer them. We pay engineers very well. [Leans in performatively toward the phone recording the interview.] If anyone’s looking for a job, we pay very, very well.
But you pay yourself pretty modestly in the scheme of things.
I make a very good salary that I’m very happy with.
That’s pretty cool. But knowing the number would matter.
You’re not kidding. Public school in the city.
There were so many dumb things I had to memorize. Periodic table. Solar system moon and planets. Multiplication table.
Even worse is the people who see memory as intelligence because of that BS. I remember working at a office and the boss made Steve, the guy who knew 15 digits of Pi, his right hand man. Steve is currently still working there. Congrats Steve your superior memory apparently can’t get you out of your deadend job.
My buddy pays $100 for a cell phone service, and gets a new $1000 phone every two years. When I told him he pays $4400 every two years, his jaw dropped.
He first talked about how important it was for him to have wireless while hiking. He hiked ONCE in the past year. And if it’s super important, he can rent a device during that trip.
It’s ridiculous. I buy used $300 phones and pay $10-20 a month.
Imo, the mindset of “X is cheap!” what leads people to end up overspending.
Having worked with marketers, they use the whole “price of a cup of coffee” to convince people to buy services that they don’t need all the time.
I don’t have or need Spotify. Same with a lot of steaming services. I own Netflix stock but I don’t even own a Netflix account. I could afford it but why?
If the replacement for X is Y, sure! Buy the alternative. But honestly I think people should reevaluate what they really need.
That reminds me, I got a very threatening email from my college in 2000s about downloading movies and that they traced the IP to my laptop, and I could be paying $10k in fines, have this on my permanent record and/or expelled.
I loled and pirated a lot more safer.
Still waiting for them to follow up with that 20 years later.
Welp time to spend 3 hours rewatching all the Strongbad emails.
This has been my take.
They’re not there for the truth. They’re there for validation.
