“It’s easier for people to love you if you pretend to be stupid.” -Mark Twain. A sharp mind and tongue are not endearing qualities to possess if you want to be popular amongst your peers, and that’s why so many people choose to imitate stupidity.

That something is that if someone doesn't have something already made, please don't bug them about it. I realize I never made a masterlist and I have always planned on doing it, but having so many people come into my inbox to ask "masterlist?" is annoying. I only ever had one person actually take the time to ask me if I had a masterlist or if I would make one and that is okay with me, but when I have people just come into my inbox and only ask "masterlist?" it asks the same as someone saying "update" or "update plz" and guess what it. It's so fucking annoying and it works the same way as if I was going to go do a chore and as I'm on my way or in the middle of it one of my parents asks me to do it because I will immediately not do it.

You may not understand what it is like to only have people ask "update?" or "masterlist?" and it's frustrating because it was something I wanted to do, and thankfully I finally got it, but I almost didn't get it done cause I opened my inbox today to see "masterlist?"

Written even before the advent of America’s war in Vietnam, Dune captures a world in which war is inherently asymmetric, where head-on, conventional military conflict has largely been replaced with all the subtler ways that humans seek to dominate one another: insurgency and counterinsurgency, sabotage and assassination, diplomacy, espionage and treachery, proxy wars and resource control. For the military officers and intelligence analysts who still read and reread Dune today, it presents an uncanny reflection of the state of geopolitical competition in 2021—from the pitfalls of regime change to the terra incognita of cyberwar.
