    It also exploits another person’s tragedy to make it about themselves taking away from the tragedy to focus on them. It’s narcissistic. And it’s reductive of tragedy. If speaking of third world problems should only be to focus on them. Not to take something from them for yourself.

    “You should be grateful”

    If it’s about trite platitudes and gratitude, go make a list. Find another way to teach that. When the topic is about someone else’s tragedy, get out of yourself and pay attention to those around you more.

    “I have to remember so blessed when I think of someone else’s tragedy”

    If you need a boost, Count your blessings against your own gamut of success. No need to compare and push yourself in front of someone else’s gamut all just to feel good about yourself.






  • No, once you lived long enough and meet enough/work with enough people you may find it’s an interest thing. If your exposure is limited, it may be the type of humans you came into contact just aren’t computer savvy because they either arent interested and some are just not coherent enough about computers(and struggle a lot).

    There are plenty of technical and non technical people who spread across generational and gender.

    if you travelled into the past before computers and talked with enough people you’d still likely run into one who would be as interested as you are and probably learn it fairly quickly just out of interest









  • I’ve seen bmws get plowed by distracted drivers. But that’s the thing: Cars aren’t empty machines. They are operated by humans. As are cyclists, cyclists who should also practice the rules of the road.

    As a fellow cyclist myself , I am disappointed by your intellect on this one.



  • It does happen often. Many Cyclists often do not obey road rules. ‘Rules are for thee and not for me.’ And it’s hilarious you think anyone that entitled has any self observation enough to think they would look bad while doing so. Riding a bike should absolutely require a license to be out on the road.
