Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Okay fam, I'm gonna be real with you right now. I have a hard time respecting any man who can't say "I was wrong" or "I don't know." Take responsibility for your actions, you child.

I literally remember the moment in my 20s when I realized that saying I had screwed up or that I was wrong or that I didn't know the answer was a sign of strength and credibility, rather than something to be ashamed of or concealed.

It amazes me how many adults are wandering around without ever coming to that realization.

Both the corporate world and the world of litigation have beaten that sort of accountability out of many. "Cover thine own butt" has become the 11th Commandment, if you don't want to pay an out of scale price. Fortunately, in Canada, we literally have a law that says an apology is not an admission of guilt.

People who have owned something in the past, and been mercilessly punished for doing so, in my experience.

There are a lot of managers failing at their jobs.

Letting the corporate world bully you into becoming a worse person is also a personal failing.

Wage slavery is a thing.
