    It never stops being scary seeing adult and married people unable to do things you expect children to get right.

      I dont understand how you dont question a jpeg. A child made this meme. It did not happen.

      Now if it were a png, thats a good source. Theres a lot more transparency.

      Ehhhh, I dawnt reely no if it matters to much. Wut reely matters is that a purson can bee under stood. Thats the point of langwege.

      I no a man hoo rites like this and calls PayPal pay pow, but he is a numbers jeenyus hoo duz complex calculashins n his hed like yoo hav nevur seen.

      He can’t spell his damn name to save his life, but he’s a genius in ways that constantly blow me away. He draws complex diagrams by hand of every system he builds by hand. If anyone were ever to work behind him on something they’re very familiar with, they’d have to tear it all down and rebuild it because he just invents his own way as he goes. He has no real education either. I can’t imagine what kind of powerhouse he could be if he’d ever been afforded a chance to really learn.

      I’d trade my abilities with written language for his skills any day.

        I read your first paragraph before giving up. You can’t be understood if people give up communicating with you entirely.

          You’re better than me. I didn’t even make it through the first sentence before I collapsed the comment and moved on lol.

          Well, that’s on you. You’re allowing yourself to be upset over such a small thing and missing (I feel) a very valuable point.

          That’s your ego, like it or not.

        That’s not the virtue you think it is.

          Eh, he’s a millionaire. Must be something to it. He’s 68 now and has started selling his stuff off. The new owners have been calling me for months because I’m the only person who knows how to deal with it other than him.

          He truly is a genius. Like anyone else, he has his flaws, but I’m telling you, he’s brilliant and his work is brilliant.

          In all of the years he has ran his businesses he never called an outsider in. He learned to program machines that people are paid hundreds of dollars an hour to program and repair despite being functionally illiterate. I’d say there’s virtue in his work.

          On top of all of that, has taken care of his employees. He isn’t perfect, but if someone works for him and their car breaks down, it gets repaired on his account. If it can’t be repaired, he goes to a car auction and buys them a car on his own time after inspecting it from top to bottom to make sure it’s good enough.

          I’ve had my problems with him AND his work over the years, but overall I definitely think that his skill is the virtue that I think it is. I envy him, in a positive way.
