We all start from zero; help them; don’t make them feel embarrassed about trying.

No, some people are too stupid. This dude never paid a single damn attention at home, clearly, and there’s a decent chance he thinks his mom will talk forever with nothing important to say even though this kid needs weeks of intensive training on how to be a sorta functioning adult.

Some people need to be shamed.

Assuming this is even real, we don’t know their home life. They appear to be asking for help.

I would still help them, yes, but at that point the price they pay is getting made fun of, too.

I’ve lived with three roommates now, all friends first and after. The first is very neat, no issues there. The second is non-binary but raised as a dude and it shows up in being a bit of a mess and lost on a lot of things, and the current is also the same but is cis and straight. At our ages, it’s just not my responsibility to constantly be delicately training men, especially as I, myself, am a privileged straight man who is at least baseline functional.

Well, that was an info dump I didn’t necessarily need. Anyway, if a friend or family said they were going to publicly shame me for asking a question, I wouldn’t be the cook I am today. Fortunately I was allowed to make mistakes and given opportunities to learn.
