Some wealthy people don’t give a shit whether you believe they have wealth. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone until and unless you make an offer. Ask questions, and don’t answer questions. Give vague, short responses and neglect to elaborate.
Why do you think you can’t prove Gengis Khan existed?
Claims need proof when there is a call to action. It doesn’t matter to me if you’re from an island or a small town or a big city, unless you’re giving me directions. If you make an extraordinary claim, and you want me to believe you, then I’ll need proof. If you make a mundane claim, then what the fuck do I care if you’re lying? If you claim to have a disease, I’m going to believe you because I’m not a doctor and it costs me nothing to take you at your word.
If you shout “Run, something bad is coming!” I might feel foolish and angry if I later learn you were lying, but I’d rather be foolish and angry than injured or dead. Proof is a luxury when time is of the essence, doubly so when safety is at risk.
There might be some specific nuances to quibnle over, but generally I think we could reach consensus on the guidelines I described.
Perplexica? What sort of sauce goes with that?
For a minute I legit thought Italy had dropped a new pasta shape.
Ok, but your “question” was basically “What’s something that makes you mad? Here’s mine:”
… no?
I see a lot of hype for a preferred candidate, but I don’t see anyone saying it’s over or their candidate has already won. I also see a lot of demonizing of opponents, but one party has literally nominated a rapist and convicted felon, and he’s most upset that people are calling him “weird.”
That’s March 14th, Albert Einstein’s birthday. But I don’t celebrate that, because I’m a Tauist.
Excuse you, sir, but you should be keeping the LEM in you hearts every day. And you call yourself an America. For shame.
I was twaching a class on how to use my company’s software, and I used this comic as an example for the class, and someone said “Hey, that’s the password we use!”
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make 'em battery staple.
It’s also a strong indicator that companies are not doing enough to protect their own infrastructure. Production servers shouldn’t have third party software that auto-updates without going through a test environment. It’s one thing to push emergency updates if there is a timely concern or vulnerability, but routine maintenance should go through testing before being promoted to prod.
I remember learning that 3.5" disks were still called “floppy” disks, despite being rigid plastic. My teacher took apart a disk and showed us how the inside was a film, but all that did was encourage us to take apart the disks and make desk toys out of the springs.
Man, I remember when Zip Disks were a big deal and a GB was a lot of storage.
Everything’s gonna be ok.
Trust me, I know what I’m doing.
You’ll understand when you’re older.
Hang on, almost figured it…

What did you think the babies were running from, comrade?
Touchscreens and “smart” features don’t add enough cost to justify the premium you pay for them.
What’s the most verbose attempt to eschew obfuscation on record?
Some day you may not mind so much.
Gameplay balance.
Does the term describe yourself? If not, you haven’t reclaimed it.
