Oh, you don't know how to play pool? Let me show you. This is called a pool club and these are the bowls. Your objective is to score a goal by hitting the bowl I pitch into one of the holes, shouting 'HOWZAT!'...
The unfortunate reality is that playing dumb is a strategy that works for a surprising number of situations, because it makes you look less threatening and more approachable. Plus, I think there is this primal need for men, especially smart men, to teach others about things they know, it gets annoying sometimes, but I like to indulge in it because it makes them happy.
Now, won't some big, strong men who are really, really good at tech show little ol' me how to use this Lemonworld website? 🥺
Anyone smart enough to fall for your play is also already smart enough to know that THE Margot Robbie knows what they're doing here better than they do.
One of the unfortunate consequences after I started moderating !android@lemmy.world is that I can't really do the "tech illiterate celebrity" bit here anymore.
I'm looking to buy a copy of "Barbie" on Blu-Ray, would you mind showing me where I can find it for sale?
And also, to make sure it's actually on sale, can you buy a copy, watch it, and leave a good review of it, since I've heard from somebody that it's a really good movie?
