A lot of friends are chill with it, and I don't mind doing a little bit of help, but sometimes people are who are OFFENDED when you don't want to help. In the same way a contractor friend won't remodel your home for free, I am not going to fix every single issue you have with your computer for free. I'm happy to give advice, but i'm not going to work for hours without pay to fix everything.

Someday, all your elders will be dead, and you might wish you'd spent more time with them.

yeah, quality time and not figuring out the hell they did this time that fucked up device X and then spending an afternoon trying to undo the consequences of their ignorance

You must've had nice elders

About 25/75 split. You can guess which side is which. Almost all my family is dead and I miss them. Some more than others.
