    It’s a good thing that little black line protected me from seeing the word “fucking” on the internet.

    Wait a minute… FUCK! 🤪

    I may have found ways to make computers not work but in the process I usually find ways to make them work again. Its a cycle

    Computer works -> I get bored -> I mess around -> it no longer works -> I fix it -> repeat

    I am of the opinion that it takes intelligence to be stupid. I had a friend in high school who had some undiagnosed cognitive difficulty that made him a bit slow overall. He struggled in school and was always failing one of his classes because he just couldn’t learn fast enough. However, his common sense was better than anyone else’s that I’ve ever met, and he was my most reliable friend. Sure, he didnt make many smart decisions, but he’s never made a really boneheaded decision as far as I know. I got in the habit of running my ideas past him:

    Me: “I’m thinking of doing [insert absolutely insane idea]. It should be cool.”

    Him: “That doesn’t seem safe, and it’s also illegal.”

    Me: “Huh. You’re right. I won’t do that, then.”

    I can credit my survival to adulthood to this guy. He may not able able to tell you what day of the week it is while standing in front of a calendar, but he was the least stupid man I have ever met.

        Last time i spoke with him almost a decade ago. He was working in the Walmart stockroom and may have single-handedly changed their dress code policy. At the time, Walmart required all employees to either wear khaki pants or a skirt. Since he was in the stockroom khaki pants would cause his enchanted forest to become unpleasantly swampy. So, he started wearing a skirt to address the problem. This worked, and he got the other guys to follow his lead since it was an obvious and effective solution to their problem.

        Management was pissed, but couldn’t penalize them for not following the dress code. This was about a year or so before Walmart began allowing their employees to wear shorts.
