Nobody cares when someone tries to preemptively qualify incoming advice. It’s an open forum. Everyone will just ignore your criteria because you admittedly don’t know much about this. If you gave us a reason that didn’t vibe as “I think I know more than I do” I bet people would consider not chiming in.

What a normal person does is simple: just ignore the advice that they don’t value.

Yes, obviously poor social skills. Demonstrably.

One time while streaming I had someone convince me to install zsh. Almost bricked the thing live. No clue what I was doing that day.

I looked at the study. People are dying in Teslas more than Camaros? What the fuck.

I can speak from direct experience here.

You do not argue law with police in the United States. Period. Any example of it working out is overshadowed by hundreds of deaths. Even giving off the impression you’re some kind of sovereign citizen is a good way to get killed.

You quite literally — and this is triple true if you’re a POC — must submit to them and pay a lawyer to interact with the Corrections Department and the courts. Doing anything other than this, e.g., resisting arrest, arguing law, is a surefire way to get hurt or killed.

The police in the United States are not there to help, you should never talk to them. This includes arguing law.

Read their reply. This is someone who already made their mind up without even testing it.

It looks like you have your mind made up and are looking for affirmation, not discussion. Next time, say that instead of being an ass to people trying to help you.

Don’t summon strawmen. You’re arguing international law like we’re in some kind of 4X. My analogy was an attempt to reel you back into an argumentative ethical reality.

Here’s some whataboutism for you: the United States doesn’t care about international law and is currently sponsoring a genocide. Why would any state be concerned about casus beli (FYI you keep misspelling it) when the big dog in the room doesn’t give a shit?

Could you get away with using something like Termux?

I was being charitable. It’s now becoming obvious you’re just a finnicky person with bad social skills.

I mean seriously, if I had a friend who got so uppity about some silly way I told time (that was common where I came from), I would have to seriously wonder what was wrong with them.

If I hand someone a gun, tell them who they can and cannot shoot with it, and train them on how to use it, I’m going to jail when they shoot someone.

This game of Civilization you’re playing in your head is horseshit.

I don’t like sniper drones.

You’re dealing with both impediments and social issues here. This would be difficult for anyone. I highly suggest professional help, but if it’s not available or you are unwilling, the next best thing would be to understand you’re going to need to fail a lot with intentions of getting better, and it may never happen. I’m rooting for you.

Edit: To clarify, speech therapy and general therapy are what you will benefit from.

You’re a hot mess, friend. Keep your chin up.

How was the comment you replied to whataboutism? Please, elaborate. I want to understand how you think.

This is “whataboutism” and you should not do it.

You didn’t like the way your friend… told time? And that was enough to end the friendship?

And I thought I was neurotic. How do you even have friends? I’m not even attacking you, I’m looking for advice here.

What billionaire? You made the claim. It seems trivial to produce a name, yeah?

This is what it looks like when a stubborn person makes a small mistake and would rather torpedo the whole argument than make a concession. It’s so common and so disappointing.

You were asked a direct and simple question.

Okay, I’ll have a go, since you’re a noob with people and how they actually learn and behave: Your advice sucks.
