JavaScript This Reference Pain

SOMETIMES WHEN PROGRAMMING IN JAVASCRIPT I JUST WANT TO YELL "FUCK THIS" BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT "THIS" REFERS TO

A smiling older man sits at a laptop while holding a mug, appearing increasingly strained despite his cheerful expression. The joke refers to JavaScript’s `this` keyword, whose meaning depends on context and is notoriously confusing, so the programmer wants to give up but cannot even remember what “this” refers to. It is used as a reaction to confusing code, debugging frustration, or JavaScript problems.
