Hey guys isn’t it crazy how fast spread fear is? Like, it’s easily compared to something more relatable [the common example being one of many wars], with rentry.

Like, probably a couple people misunderstood the rules and added that odd “``` i own this url. i know my edit code. if anyone tries resetting it its not me. i will never trade this. i got this fairly” to their urls.

And the people seeing that felt like if they didn’t have the same thing, they were weak—someone could take their stuff from them or something.

Despite, very obviously, being a useless phrase. Everyone started using it.

Almost all of you said you did it because others did. And it would be better to be wrong and feel safe with the community than to not, I guess. Whatever it’s a cool example

guy next to me in class farts constantly and smells horrible

18F, and for context, I take this cyber security course at my college. obviously, as the stereotype goes I didn’t expect everyone in there to have the best hygiene but I was good at the course so I picked it anyways. I don’t know if I’m regretting it because of that reputation even though I take care of myself very well, but whatever.

I sit next to a guy who is genuinely for a lack of better words, repulsive. He always leans forwards and farts, he constantly smells like a public toilet that hasn’t been cleaned for years, I’m ninety nine percent sure he has lice and I don’t think he even wears any underwear because his asscrack is always out.

It’s genuinely disturbing me now and I don’t know what to do. I can’t move seats because our class is full, and we barely know each other either. It makes me feel ill the entire lesson and it honestly makes me want to pick a different subject.

Any advice???
