content: I'm new to this forum so I'm just starting to get used to all the rules and customs. It has been brought to my attention recently that I have been hurting alot of people's feelings. It's one thing to hurt a child's feelings as they are just children and it's easily done by something trivial, but when you hurt an adult’s feelings you have done something majorly (Bigly {See it is a real word not just a trumpism, MS word didn’t underline it} ) wrong. First I want to say how deeply sorry I am and to show that I have created this thread. It's a thread where grown adults can ask questions and not worry about hurt feelings.In order to accomplish this we MUST follow some STRICT guidelines. Deviation from these might result in hurt feelings. I have wrote some code that should be implemented where appropriate. This line is used for humor. Jokes, humor and especially sarcasm should be used sparingly as they are very likely to hurt feelings. So before using humor you must use the following lines of code. Here is an example::void sarcasm;;<sarcasm = set TRUE>;<IF sarcasmTHEN var hurt.Feelings;Hurt.Feeling = TRUE;<sarcasm = OFF>;Make sure you declare your variables and integer statements. The best line of code to use is this one:<var humor>;<humor = NONE>;Also if you are posting a YouTube video be sure to read all of the comments and implement them. Here are a few things you can do:1. Replace all the caps on ALL electronics you are repairing. It goes against these peoples core values if you don’t and they will have a melt down.2. Always wear the proper ESD protection. Make sure your viewer can see you wearing it. Test it with a multimeter so that people don’t think you have the strap on just for show.3. Show the receipt of what you bought with the price. I don’t know why this matters but people will claim it’s fake if you don’t, or if you didn’t pay enough money for it.4. Put up a very long disclaimer covering every possible stupid thing people will try to emulate in your video. Being responsible means that people are never responsible for themselves and will always blame other people; therefore its always your fault when they don’t follow instructions and damage their equipment or electrocute themselves.There are many more rules but this is just to get you started. Even if you do everything right you still have room for improvement because remember the last line of offense is critiquing people’s appearance. Think about joining a gym or one of those hair replacement clubs (for men, the one where they show the guy swimming in the pool).Make sure all your grammar, punctuation, or spelling is correct. Even if you have an excuse like you are going blind and you put it in your signature people will still point it out. There is no excuse for this, we all went to high school and you are expected to speak American. People will have a melt down which will result in hurt feelings if you don’t.Get all of your facts straight. Remember every person is an expert in everything, always. Even if they have no idea what the fuck they are talking about they will still try to tell you that you are doing it wrong or bring up totally trivial facts that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. Glancing at a few search results on the first page of google is as good as a doctorate degree these days. They might not be an electrical engineer but their father’s neighbor’s dog’s vet’s wife’s son may be one and that makes them qualified to critique you.Old wives tales, internet myths and conspiracy stories are always true. This is because the Government is poisoning you with deadly radiation from your smart meter catalyzed by chemicals from condensation trails in order that you don’t find out that free energy and over unity is real. Plastic CAN be made from thin air if only there were enough solar roadways connected to batterizers to supply the energy.So I hope no ones feelings were hurt in this thread. We are all grown adults, not children, so there is no excuse for hurting others feelings.<sarcasm = OFF>;;;

content: This ground has already been technically covered in the rules with a much better, and much more realistic <When offended, pick yourself up and move on with your day because there are worse things in your life than someone hurting your feelings on a forum>I don't feel the need in most places on the internet to have trigger warnings or offense warnings. It's just not needed. Everybody here should be capable of not only taking a joke, but taking everything as chill and non-aggressive as possible. This is the central failing for most SJWs that poison the internet. They try to find something to be offended by no matter how mundane and obviously innocent it is (I quote Hugh Mungus, papa bless)It's right here in the rules.4) Don't take things too seriously, chill out, life is short, have a laugh.And it also statesUnderstand that many people, from many countries, many cultures, and many languages use this forum. The meanings of words and the way people communicate varies enormously. If you are offended by a remark, don't just assume the poster meant it to be offensive. Assuming that they didn't mean any offense is always a good first step.In a public forum you have no right NOT to be offended by something. If you are offended by something someone said, and it wasn't directed at you, sad day for you, move on, there are more important things in life.I totally agree with this. Rarely if ever does debate, or even argument on this forum boil to a point of serious harm. Everybody here (Or at least everybody who read the rules) understands that nobody is here to offend you. I don't feel any of this necessary.

content: Quote from: Assafl on February 17, 2017, 09:14:11 amI just don't believe that the machines I talk to have over the internet have real people operating them. I have met people that use the internet, but not once ever have I seen them online when I'm on my computer. I have met people over the internet but I have never met them in real life.It s just bots, using recompiled posts that it finds on google. Take this forum for example. I conveniently can't ever meet any of the people on it because they live so far away from me. Some times though the bots are right. They do have alot of resources to make a pretty convincing fake personality from. Seeing is beleiving...

content: Either nobody is real and we live in a computer simulation or the earth is flat, pick your believe but don't bother other people with it.This is a electronics forum so learn about electronics here or even help out a stranger with some useful comments butleave the personal stuff out of it, unless you feel the community can help you with something, not simply venting some BS.Thanks.

content: Quote from: raspberrypi on February 17, 2017, 01:34:31 amIf you find a lot of people get offended, it could be because they are too easily offended. OTOH, it could be because you are being an offensive jerk.Sure, people shouldn't be offended by trivial things rather than significant things. But there are some things that rightfully should cause offense.However, there are not really any cases where being an offensive jerk is either justified or helpful.

content: The really funny thing is this thread is just one long cry about the OPs hurt feelings.You realize that whining about people who get offended at things while getting offended at everything someone says to you isn't a good look, right?
