When was the last time you got really angry? 🤬

For some reason, taking wrong turns when driving on the freeway triggers me. You know, when you have to drive for 20 minutes before you get to the next exit, and then drive 20 minutes back to where you made the wrong turn... It's kinda stupid, I know, but the feeling hopelessness it gives me of and sense of a lack of agency just triggers something... and i get mad 🤬, then turn on some heavy metal, and curse my way through those 40 minutes.

Normally very chill person and don't get angry easily at all, for some reason this scenario just triggers me no end.

What are your triggers and when was the last time you got really angry at something?

Yesterday. I'm embarrassed to admit this. I bought a new desktop, wiped windows and installed Nix os. Wrestled for two days trying to get the sound to work. I searched the web, modified the config file, yelled and screamed, and then realized that the desktop had no speaker.

hahah dang that's a funny (at the time not so funny) story 🤬😄😁

i can relate though, sometimes a programming issue or bug can waste hours and hours, you go to bed at 1am after hours of wrestling, frustrated. next morning, you figure it out in 5 minutes.

One of the best and worst feelings

Can relate. Feels like most programming problems I work on get solved in my sleep.

what happened next? sounds like the sort of experience that affects you and makes you change direction etc

I'm appealing, in my experience though appeals are never successful. I'll alter the app and probably create new dev account and get it back on playstore. Not my first rodeo ;)

'impersonating' OpenAI's ChatGPT3, despite the app having a license to use their api

even when you get it unbanned, Google's Play Store AI policy enforcement bot will ban it again in a while.

maybe so, I'll change it enough to hopefully avoid

A few months ago actually, I was playing soccer and this big Nigerian dude is a defender and kept taking me out, and hurting me on purpose giving away fouls, so that I couldn't turn him and run at goal or make the pass.

it was the 4th one where he stood on my ankle and I was like F this and I lost it, run up to him and I was about to throw hands, then teams had to pull us apart

But we are actually good mates now after that blow-up, go figure!

a friend of mine has a similar story with one of his best mates. they were already friends, and were traveling together around Australia. for some reason they fucked each other other and got in a huge fist fight. after the dust settled and they had duke'd it out, they were closer friends than before 😄

LOL men will rather get into a fisty than go to therapy, I think that this whole war on masculinity does throw out the baby with the bath water, there's clear method to the madness

Like Bruce Banner I'm always angry. It takes a lot of willpower not to fall vice to my triggers. My triggers are usually people because they tend to bring their drama.
