There’s one thing I find even more irksome than when someone Sl@cks me a hanging “hey”.

It’s when someone tells me they’re working on procuring a sick computer. And then won’t list any specifics.

This is not some secret recipe. All the parts are boring and straightforward. Assembling furniture is arguably harder than a PC.

Like I get why folks don’t. Lacking the domain knowledge, so the action is to avoid looking uninformed. Or not wanting to defend the choices they made, resulting in a similar avoidance.

Preservation of the ahamkara is human nature.

But c’mon, I just want to bikeshed about parts. Using the opportunity to learn or articulating your reasoning doesn’t have to be scary.
