But you aren’t one of the dumb people right?
Definitely not. I don't post low effort snide comments as a reply and think that I'm witty.
Well, mostly I do it for the satisfaction of a response.
Not OP but I can fully accept I’m a roving idiot ¯\(ツ)/¯
One time I tried pump my fuel and it kept stopping right away. I moved pumps and the same thing. I was looking down the hole to see if anything was blocking it, I went inside to inform the attendant their pumps might be malfunctioning. Then I realized, the night prior I had already filled up. I'm a dumbass.
To my credit, however; it is my routine to fill up every morning (I drive courier) A night fill up was off routine. Still a dumbass.
Another victim of the routine autopilot. It gets us all from time to time.
I thought the ac was broken in my work truck for several days in July because I forgot I had turned the heat on one chilly morning and for some reason my eyes repeatedly didn't catch that dumb temperature dial still turned to heat. I kept pushing the ac button on and off and then just ended up sweltering because I basically had the heat on in July.
That dumbassery will humble me for a while.
You may be overestimating how literate the average person is.
Everyone is ignorant in their own way and there is not a person alive you can’t learn something from.
Except for babies.
Honestly I was just thinking about that and I think you could learn a thing or two from a baby. They're very in touch with their emotions.
Yeah, babies are fucking stupid... absolutely the dumbest. Constantly trying to kill themselves. No self preservation whatsoever.
Are you a new dad that was recently on "keeping it alive" duty? :D
That doesn't mean there are no differences in people's intelligence.
Then please don’t let me interrupt the dick measuring.
Yep, dicks are very diverse too.
I'm a fucking ignorant moron on the vast majority of topics.
A dumb person will happily talk about everything as if they understand it. A smart person will shut about the things they don't understand and be open to being educated.
I'm the smortest! I know how to do things
