Oh my lord, my brother-in-law is such a douchebag. It literally makes my head hurt.
He just spent nearly half an hour arguing with me — despite my sister's fervent protests, and even to the point of yelling — that the only possible way to safely use the internet is have above-average technical knowledge, such as of a computer technician. And, guess what? He didn't mean "safely" as in, you're guaranteed to never ever get a virus/trojan/etc. x infinity. He pretty much meant "safely" as in, as safe as walking down the street.
Like, he was basically trying to convince me that anyone would be a careless idiot to own/use an internet-connected computer unless they are an expert on avoiding and combating online threats.
Honestly, it is impossible to talk to that man. He will grab on to any minuscule statement you make and turn it into a gigantic debate. He is always the expert on every topic, and he always knows better than anyone he talks to. In other words: if you think ___, about anything, then ___ is incorrect and here is the right way. And if you agree with him, it's almost guaranteed that he'll change his mind just so he can "prove you wrong" yet again.
Like the title says... *MASSIVE HEADDESK*
Anyway, sorry for the rant. In cheerier news: Happy New Year! :D

...oh, that's another annoying thing: you can't criticize or argue with leo too much, because he's [physically] fragile. even when he's the one starting most arguments. *facepalm*
so, uh, sister-in-law's husband? who is not your brother? how's that one work?
But he's like that. And he's short (like 6" shorter than his own wife, and 8" shorter than my husband) so he has little man syndrome and his screen name on line is 'perfect' prolly with 3's instead of E's, like his licence plate. *rofl* as if!
it refers to real life, instead of a TV show...or an internet thing
Gah! I know people like this, and I feel your headdeskiness. :/
Still, have you had a good New Year? I hope so. *hugs* :D
