People get what they deserve when they follow the directions leading them into an obviously bad decision without using the sense you were given.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

I met a Sailor that used to only dry his laundry. He stated, “sweat is wet so I dry it, I don’t need to wash it again”. Stupid fucks infest us. “They‘ve weaponized stupid”

Sometimes it’s too hard to believe.

I sometimes wonder if it is a generational thing. I know younger people who will use google maps or whatever and just do what it says. Having grown up with paper maps and figuring out the route before I go, I will use that tech, but the first thing I do is pull up the steps and decide whether I think they makes sense or not. If driving with someone else running a mapping program, the question is always, what is my next turn, and how far out is it?
I don’t know how kids can stand to “just blindly follow the app.”

^ Yup, GPS is a great tool if you somewhat know where you're going.
I use Waze & check the route options multiple times in a trip

Oh, please. Here, first result for “elderly woman follows gps.” 900 mile tour across Europe rather than a 90 mile drive.

Here’s a guy who’s 57 now, almost drove off a fucking cliff.
