    So that meme reminds me of a prank.

    There was once I had the same exact laptop as a buddy, but wasn’t using it anymore. He was finishing his degree and just about to turn in like 8 papers/assignments and had a ton of work saved on it. So I wiped my laptop and installed fresh Kubuntu, and then swapped the drives when he wasn’t looking. Then I pretended to have done him a favor since he had been having intermittent windows problems.

    He was livid but was trying so hard to be kind, loool. Made it better when I could swap it right back and everything was there

        It was so good because I could be as rotten as I wanted, there was zero lasting harm. He immediately forgave me and found it amazing once he booted up the original drive and made sure it was all good

          So what’s the benefit of temporarily putting your friend in distress? What got better as a result of you scaring them?

          When I removed the knife from his throat he immediately assured me that he didn’t have any grievances whatsoever.

          That was just a huge dick move.
