It's as if the world is some kind of evil hoax

I like this guy! He often complains about the bizarre ways that things don't work in reality. They fail, but no one else seems to notice.
That's the right attitude. I have many examples myself. For example, long ago I made a list of things that you CANNOT get an explanation for. No matter how hard you try, you can't find any text online that will tell you how these things work in a meaningful way.

These subjects can only be understood through complex osmosis in restricted settings. And then there are all the ways that software has been designed to be completly unusable. Worst example is the "Gimp" image editor.
This is the REAL conspiracy theory, not the fake nonsense you find online that are just made up fantasy stories.
But you can't talk about it . . . It's forbidden.

Meanwhile, is there some place I can donate to shut down Planet Word?
