How does "work" work ? Lets pretend you know.

Terrapin Station wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 9:02 pm Yeah, let's pretend that's a mystery. That will definitely be worthwhile.

Oh, it's not a mystery to you? Then you should have no problem telling us how "work" works.

Well, you keep making these outlandish claims about stuff working/not working context-free of any criteria for success.

Why doesn't pointing work when you want a bagel? It's right fucking there! What do you think could go wrong?

You don't have to pretend if you don't know why you are asking.

You can just say that you don't know why you are asking.
