How some people judge a software

You know one thing I find very very very astounding? Some people judge the quality or usefulness of a software by the size of memory it takes up.... So the next question is, how do you bloat up the size of a small software? I call it software cosmetics.

Another observation on people

Friend A of mine is jobless and looking for one. He asked another mate of mine(friend B) if he have found a job for him. The other guy said no I haven't found. (I over heard it in the badminton court) Friend B looked uneasy.

No too long latter friend B while talking to me expressed dislike to friend A on something rather trivial. At first I didn't get it but I figured B don't like A because he felt pressured when asked by A for help and he couldn't deliver in desperation. Now I have seen similar scenarios like this countless times in my life.

Aside: General rule when dealing with people you are not close with or you don't know. Don't ask for favors especially out of desperation when they may not be able to help.

I think this is due to a survival mechanism in human's to avoid desperate and needy people. Ideally we should help the needy and not discriminate them. Jesus did not avoid the sick and desperate people, in fact he went out to them and heal them and feed them, so it is not normal to feel pressured by desperate people. Or is it?

So which is it? humans are like that because of sinful nature? Or is it a natural survival instinct to avoid life burden and have a better chance of surviving due to less burden? Is it really a survival instinct like breathing or a result of sin?

A crappy badminton game?

I played badminton last sunday and a friend of mine I have known for years that is normally quite good in the game was playing like crap. So I ask him whats up with you dude? He said I am going on a first date with a girl latter that is why I can't concentrate. I said, I see, it is about time you grow up eh? (Jokingly)

So I asked what time is the appointment? he said 8 PM, I said goodness you better go back and get ready now dude you will be late. He said nevermind I am going in this outfit (sweaty and wet badminton outfit)

I said dude, this is your first date with her, she is not yours yet, you gotta impress her. He said, I know, but I am not smelly right?

At that point I decide to keep quiet because the situation can't be helped anymore.
If I have a son, one thing I will have to teach him is how to groom himself and then how to impress the other side with chivalry. I know chivalry is bs but hey it works lol
