minus-squaremonkeyman512@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up37·5 天前Funny how tools are useful. But a person who is a tool is not.
minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·5 天前A tool of a person is a fool who is being used by someone else. They might not be useful to you, but to who ever makes the koolaid they’re drinking, they’re a very good tool.
minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-25 天前I think that’s the basic idea, but in practice it’s used for people who are just generally dumb as well.
minus-squareOmgpwnies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 天前Well, when was the last time you looked at a hammer and thought “y’know, you’re pretty smart!”
minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 天前Haha, true. But then again, I’ve definitely thought that about like, a self-loading rifle or a can opener that way.

minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 天前Evolving is distinctly different than misunderstanding.
minus-squareDacoTaco@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-25 天前Tools are always useful. If its a good thing to (ab)use said tool depends on the tool and if its human or not :p … And the job for the tool ofc
