    Please don’t argue theory definitions with someone who lived through the reality, its just straight insensitive

      I got shocked the other day stepping on live wires… I now have a degree in Electrical Engineering. (Actually Not: My experience is not the same as expertise)

        they didn’t say they were wrong, just an asshole.

        it’s like someone died to a live wire and you correct their family that it was the amps not the voltage that killed them. you’re not wrong, but you’re a tone deaf dickhead.

          While I agree, there’s also a risk in letting the hypothetical family cause alarm about something false around electricity or whatever (misinformation).

      They are arguing the definitions with someone who was “arguing” with someone who lived through the reality
