Yeah, a lot of people don’t know shit about computers. When I was working as a commissioning engineer, we would ping devices after using bootp to make sure the setup was successful. I got so many comments from electricians, millwrights and plant personnel just for using command prompt. “Oh wow you’re hacking!” Or “You have logged in to the matrix!” I’m sure sometimes they were just joking but most of them truly believed I was doing some high level stuff.

    Ugh, this! My dad constantly talked down to my mom and called her stupid. It definitely messed up my siblings and I idea of what it means to be a woman. I can’t believe that I thought she deserved it at times. It wasn’t until I had been out of the house for a few years that I could see clearly what was going on, and encouraged her to leave (she did, and is much happier now).

    And I doubt Johnny Cash would have condoned this. Or at least I would hope so.

    🎶I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down. Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town. I wear it for the prisoner who is long paid for his crime. But is there because he's a victim of the times.🎶

  • Yeah, it’s more his personality. My other cat is very chill but the smallest one has a compulsion to shred cardboard and paper, really anything that will tear. He also plays by himself running up and down the hallway all hours of the night chasing toys he brought there for the purpose. Just a ton of energy, gets bored easily.
