Normies

It makes you so special, so warm inside when you use that word to derogate and insult the everyday people: doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, firemen, cops, shop attendants, postal workers, bus drivers... people who have lives, jobs, careers, families, problems needing taking care of, who want to get work done during the day and then spend some time with their loved ones, parents, kids, hang out with friends, lovers, walk their dogs, do some sports or hobbies or even just play some video games... and not fuck around with their computers for hours or days. 

People for whom a computer is just another piece of technology at home that they expect to just work, like the fridge, the TV set or the washing machine. Nobody wants to fuck around for hours with their TV or with their washer just to get it to work.

And you, the uber nerd, the supreme geek, so special, basking in your own awesomeness, so knowledgeable, because you can do arcane things with your computers that are useless and meaningless to most people around. Things that 99% of the people around don't need nor don't give a fuck about. 

You're pathetic and you know that. And you compensate for that by calling people "normies" because you know very well they have a lot more meaningful and fulfilling lives than your own. They're just "bad with computers" the same way you are bad with everything else but computers. There are so many things, so much knowledge, so many skills out there which you do not know anything about, do not understand and are completely ignorant and clueless about, little man. 

When was the last time you performed surgery on human eye, designed an aircraft, engineered a rail tunnel or defended a complex legal case or even designed a computer chip or component you're so proudly fucking with? Have you saved any lives recently? I mean, in real life, not in a video game, in case you missed that /s. That's what those stupid normies do.

Have you gone outside? Ride a bike? Date someone? Pet a dog?

Develop some compassion for other people and some humility.

Don't be an asshole.
