People attempting to apply the rules of one field to another, even though it makes no sense. Say, applying rules of formal logic to everyday language, and/or expecting others to do the same.
Why are conservatives so cartoonishly evil? Seriously, it’s like they look at all our stories, media and culture and think “wow! Those bad guys were really cool! I want to be like them when I grow up!”
A literal demon would make more compassionate choices than your average conservative.
I once had to go on a longer medical leave, couple of months. In preparation, I documented everything - pages upon pages answering all questions in easily searchable formats. For more than a month, any questions I got were answered with links to specific sections in the documentation, so people would know where to find everything. I put the links everywhere, in total there were at least 200 links to various sections of the documentation throughout all our communication mediums, as well as all information repositories.
After I came back from leave, most of the things I was responsible for were turned off. When I asked why, the response was “we didn’t find your documentation”.
I no longer care whether things keep working.
