Dude wasted 4 days being angry and thinks he won.

IDK if it's a dude; girls will do some absolutely sociopathic shit to each other when they're crossed

I don't know, kind of sounds like they learned something and that's a win.

Sometimes indignation can lead to amazing things, somebody told me in 2000 that I couldn't make a 3D game for the web using 2D software and I felt so challenged and pissed-off I actually programmed a 3D rendering engine using that tool so I could make a virtua tennis style game playable on the web.

A world first out of spite.

Edit: In case anybody cares the tool was Macromedia Director which was a 2D raster authoring tool that you could use to make Shockwave games. And the feature that came out in (I think) patch 6.5 made 2D sprite skewing a thing which enabled me to make this!

Imagine sitting through class presentations and some incel tries to bully a girl, badgering her with questions and a “this is common knowledge” attitude all because he is so fucked in the head he thought she was mocking him.

Better than wasting years being angry about it wishing you did something at the time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You could just not do either

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I prefer the third option.

Also, they are still dwelling on it after leaving college. I guarantee that it didn't go down like they say and there's either embellishment going on or it's what they wished they would have done, but it never happened

Getting her crying is satisfying enough.

Can totally understand that. Been preparing to destroy someone for 3 decades. The end will be glorious.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

If you're three decades into trying to destroy someone, and you haven't done anything yet, you're just lying to yourself.

Learning is never a waste of time, even if it's for petty reasons like this. Not only does he get his revenge, he also now knows more about a topic he wouldn't learn about otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this is some "green text" bs.

The quote is also older than twitter.

That's literally how you win.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Winning is never getting into a pissing contest to begin with.

Something similar: knew a girl that was wrote her bio master and she was like "you're all below me", one day she asked me to read her work for spelling mistakes, took a week intensively researching the topic and made several remarks on wrong sources/ better sources, found data assignment mistakes and content errors and wrote a comprehensive critic to the work. I'm feeling kinda sorry for what I did, she never handed the work in & is now a single mom. I'm far from the only reason for it, but I think that it pushed her over the edge with the decision to give up her academic career for good. Ooopsie.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hey so you said :”she was like” but you didn’t really offer explicit acts about her behaviour confirming that’s really what she thought. It’s predictive text.

So did she really say you were below her or was that a feeling you get when you meet a confident person and determine this on your own because of feeling self conscious around that?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Her "bio master" as in her Master's thesis? Why would she not have someone in her cohort read it? What happened with her PI? Were they just not checking in on her work at all? How could they get so far into a Master's that she's in the process of writing her thesis that you could find better sources in a week?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sounds like the above person was cohort. They didn’t really specify they weren’t just that she asked them. So there was probably a reason and she trusted them.

Not quite efficient. I would have known better things to do during four days

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's be honest, we've all done a lot less productive things back in college.

Studying the topic of the class that you're enrolled in? such a wild concept.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro that's just learning without the extra steps

Did they start clapping after she cried?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's my turn to post this meme.

Read through the comments, and still not sure if the title is a typo or a joke...
