why does my mother suddenly fail kindergarten whenever she tries to do anything on the computer

[dragon-in-a-fez]

I know she doesn't know what "the maximise button" is so I told her "click the square at the top right" and she clicked...the printer icon...in the middle of the toolbar. and I'm just like okay. this isn't a technology thing you are flunking basic shapes and directions. I'm turning off your computer and getting you a block puzzle. you have a master's degree

General rules to live by:

You gotta be tough if you're gonna be stupid. You can do stupid shit all you want but you're not going to avoid suffering consequences.

If you can't be tough, you gotta be nice. People can forgive a lot of stupidity if you're polite about it and pleasant to be around.

You can't tell whether you're stupid or not. There is literally no way to know in advance, for absolute certainty, whether the thing you're just about to do is genius or stupid before it either splendidly succeeds or blows up in your face.

"anyone that has been accused of or called X regardless of if that is true"

Thank God people are never wrong about things and we always know with full certainty if a crime has been committed.

This comparison really cuts to the heart of what these small town, conservative parents keep panicking over

What they fear is knowledge because what is learned can never truly be unlearned. They wish to dictate all information their property children interact with so that only shared values can take root. To present any other options to these kids is to "turn them into a transexual/gay/satanist/hippie/communist/etc" against their parents' will which is the only will that matters to these parents.

The advent of the Internet Age has severely reduced the possibility of maintaining this blockade. Before we were all connected like we are today, a small town parent had little resistance since most neighbors were of the same mindset. Those who weren't either kept their heads down, left, or were socially exiled.

Now, many of us have devices in our homes and even our pockets with access to a plethora of knowledge that would make the Library of Alexandria look like a Scholastic Book Fair. Ignorance is no longer sustainable, and these parents are reacting with anger and hate because it's significantly easier than just actually parenting their kids.
