Hello from Lemmygrad as well :)

I guess I just assumed most people have one of those window breaking tools that cost like 5 dollars.

Yes, it does. I didn't write "this will feel like literal hell", I wrote "this feels [...]", as in I am currently experiencing said feeling.

It uses my likeness. This might lead people to believe, consciously or not, that I endorse the message, that's the point of the technology.

It doesn't matter if I or my likeness has convinced someone of a view in a practical sense, so does it matter morally?

Y'know, in my darkest moments, I've taken solace in the fact that suicide would also mean I wouldn't have to partake in capitalism anymore.

This feels like literal hell. Not even suicide will let you escape.

Societies today are extremely large, which means it doesn't matter if a majority does something or not, if a per mille does it's a massive, society-defining problem.

I feel like these people are incredibly disingenuous. If I'm in a hot car and want to make an exaggerated example out of what I think is bad design, I act like these people. If I'm in a hot car, stuck and panicking, I'm thinking about how much a window costs for about half a minute, and then I break a window.

For some reason they also ask how many you need.

I've done that once, and honestly wrote I needed four screws. A few days later I got an envelope with like, 20 screws. I get it, but still found it a bit funny.

... What? I have Ikea furniture that's lasted 10+ years, through 5+ moves including disassembly and reassembly every time. Nothing took more than 20 minutes to assemble, and I definitely believe this furniture can outlive me.

Oh wow, I just looked up Lemmygrad and was shocked and dissapointed at the results, seeing the Exploding Heads results changed that dissapointment to complete disgust.

This was over 20 years ago, so I don't know and/or remember, point is I had no idea what I was doing, possibly just trying to build a window manager or something then? All I remember is only having a CLI and feeling like I couldn't get anything to work.

I haven't tried using arch since I was 12, and even after all these years the experience makes me feel like such a poser, I didn't even manage to compile the kernel, and gave up before I had anything resembling an OS.
