I'm thinking of watching 'Halt and Catch Fire', but I'm also taking a hardware & OS course right now, and I was worried that it might teach me some wrong stuff. I might wait till after the final to watch it.

Mr robot for sure. Nobody haha the mainframe by fisting a keyboard. I don't think I caught one inaccurate thing.

    It’s also fairly accurate to the lived experience of having DID

    Yes. Dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder. Mr. Robot is not just about computers and capitalism. It’s also about trauma and mental health.

    Thanks. Yea I have seen Mr Robot, just couldn’t recall his particular condition.

    I can’t even imagine what that’s like to live with.

    I live with it. It’s horrible before you figure out what’s wrong. It’s a lot better once you get a shit ton of therapy and you make nice with all the personalities and realize that you’re also one of them.
