    The more I know about something the less I’m willing to tollerate your shit if you want to argue about it.

    I work in an industry that undoubtably touches all of your lives and sometimes people ask “Why?” Questions about it, and I’d offer an explanation based on 15 years of industry experience and then people would argue thats not how it works, or rant at me like I’m the CEO of an entire global industry and generally annoy me to the point where I’m not even going to tell you what industry because I dont want to argue with another single chucklefuck who has a problem with how they do it for you.

      teaching is not arguing though. it implies one party is willing to learn. otherwise you’re just bothering people.

          Energy production?

          But I feel you. I work in a utilities company and, yeah, people are annoying.

            I used to work in (not health) insurance and yeah. I understand why insurance does what it does, but it’s just dispassionate cruelty, so explaining it doesn’t make it better. I don’t think it could work significantly differently, so just letting people rant incorrectly about it is also frustrating.

              Yes. I do not agree with the system, I also have no control over the system and only work within the system because I have to.

              You want to know how the system works, or why certain things happen I can tell you. If you want to shout at me about how broken the system is, please fuck off because I live how broken it is every morning when I turn up to work.

    Not like me to give notes on a webcomic but …wouldn’t it be funnier if he did start explaining

      …wouldn’t it be funnier if he did start explaining

      Funnier yet would be if logarithmic curve right before the intersection of the linear curve was a projection. Then the following dialog in the frames following:

      Researcher on the left: “Sure! See we’re dealing with multiple forces and…”

      awkward pause (frame with no dialog)

      Interested person on the right: “Then what? Why did you stop explaining?”

      Researcher on the left: “I just realized we just now hit the intersection of the curves.”

      Everyone’s a critic, right?

      Paradoxical perhaps but I don’t think people would get it as quickly.

    For me my info dumping just gets longer, especially if someone is actually interested. At least until I info dump them.
