    Nah, I think it’s fair to call someone stupid if they genuinely cannot follow two commands. If they can get to the website, they’ve done something just as complicated.

    It’s like calling someone dumb for succeeding in riding a bike, but refusing to try a moped when they’re specifically asking to get from point a to b without tiring themselves. “Yea… we’re telling you how to do it. Stop being afraid of something basic, idiot.”

    The obstinance deserves an insult.

      I feel bad for people that have to deal with you in real life.

        Nah, most people don’t choose to be morons. That’s more of an internet thing where children and the emotionally stunted attempt to act like adults.

        Interesting how you think it’s OK to insult me when I’m insulting a hypothetical person… Seems you’re not so against insults after all… hypocrite.

          I mean if you’re an arsehole to someone for literally the dumbest, most inconsequential thing I could possibly imagine, then of course they’re going to respond in kind.

          I’m not a hypocrite because I’m not getting mad at you and insulting you over literally the tiniest thing like some terminally online redditor. I’m responding to your abuse by pointing out your bad personality must make things difficult for people in real life too.

          It’s a good chance to reflect on how you’re acting, even though I know you won’t because you’re someone that gets mad and insults someone over wanting a download button on a website, so you’re clearly lacking in perspective and rationality.

            See, you’re completely forgetting the context in order to try and keep the high ground…

            I’m not saying this to some random people. I’m saying it to people who are obstinantly refusing to do the easy solution.

            Why do you choose to forget context in order to justify your negative feelings? Stop being so pathetic.

              Okay, it seems like you’re the type of person that really needs to ‘win’ internet arguments with strangers to feel satisfied with your life, so I’ll take the L here.

              I’m a bad person for wanting an slightly easier way to download software.

              There you go, enjoy your win, redditor. :)
