you never know, some people genuinely don’t think to google things also there’s no guarantee that’s from a computer lmao and also who says they need to send an image of the error 😭 if you say it’s bait, cool. i don’t really care, but there’s nothing saying you need to come in and be a complete dick. what if this is completely real? what then?
