Thinking back to my childhood, many of my parents' arguments were really caused because my dad was a programmer, and that mindset takes over your way of thinking.
- YeGoblynQueenne 7y agoI sympathise. My dad is a lawyer. It's like, his job is to wittle down peoples' objections with tedious arguments. I had a difficult childhood :P
- chillingeffect 7y agoyeah i had a lawyer for an intimate partner.. as a habit, she would argue stuff she didn't even care about. so when she lost, i would be exhausted and she would just blow it off bc she wasn't invested. I tried to not get sucked in, but in addition to approaching things logically, their trade is to get emotional hooks into people- a trait programmers eschew.
- YeGoblynQueenne 7y agoOnly because computers don't have emotions though :)
