MODERATORS
I had someone watch me edit a URL in the address bar and she clearly thought I was just fucking around, because there was no possible way that any human could edit the Matrix language up there and accomplish anything productive.
That's part of my point. Most people just don't know.
That's like telling someone to just tune their carburator.
inb4 you get an indignant reply suggesting that carburetor tuning is a must-have skill for absolutely anyone who owns anything that has one
LOL, wait, is it copypasta or does that guy just post that a lot?
It is now.
I mean carburetor tuning is a must-have skill for absolutely anyone who has one. Otherwise you can never be sure that you are getting an ideal fuel-air mixture, and the ratio changes over time with the temperature, humidity, seasons, etc. Really, it's irresponsible to not know how to do this if you have a car with a carburetor.
Brake line bleeding is a must-have skill for anyone with brakes. Otherwise you can never be sure not to have air in the brake lines. Really it's irresponsible not to know how to do this if you have a vehicle with idraulic brakes.
Or you can get your mechanic to do it. It's not like brakes get air bubbles during normal operation, it's only a risk when working on the brakes in any other way
(Was your comment a poke at the previous one, pointing out that one doesn't really need those skills? If so I think it's reasonable for a person with a carburettor vehicle to learn how to tune it, as the skills are becoming rare)
Being able to adjust your sarcasm detector is a must-have skill. Sarcasm levels fluctuate wildly depending on platform, community, season, and topic. Otherwise you can never know if you're making an ass of yourself when replying to other comments. Really, it's irresponsible to partake in social media without a finely tuned sarcasm detector.
I take it you missed my bracketed comment acknowledging it was probably sarcastic.
I take it you missed that the "previous one" was also sarcasm.
LMFAO, I'm actually dying over here. ๐
Have you met... Anyone?
