      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.

      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!

      Getting her crying is satisfying enough.

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

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

      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

      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.
