  • Have you ever met an actual dumb person?

    Jump

  • Yewh of course. That makes sense. I feel like those tests are not really good at measuring the actual intelligence of those people though. Either that or everyone has very low iq. I guess it's possible but seems also a bit strange, unless only bad iq genes has survived.

  • Haha could be. :)

  • I agree, it doesn't matter for being friends. A human being can have many other good qualities.

    Jump

  • I agree with this 100%. A lot of people are only booksmart and can't really think for themselves.

  • I think many people in Europe could not point out the American states either. It's one of those things you learn in school once and never do again. :)

    I guess most people would know Florida and California maybe. But just guessing here.

    Jump

  • This made me laugh. :) Good story but god, that's frustrating.

  • Have you ever met an actual dumb person?

    Jump

  • That a good point, and you are right about calling anyone under 100 stupid. Obviously half the planet is on that level and they are doing fine in their lives or nothing would work around us. It's just that sometimes people can be doing a bit dumb stuff that surprises others.

    Jump

  • I didnt mean it that way. What's a better word for it? I'm not very smart myself, I just managed to be smart enough for my job and that's it.

  • Have you ever met an actual dumb person?

    Jump

  • Thats actually a good place where this sort of thing would happen. Conscription army... I guess in a war we would meet all kinds.

    I felt sorry reading about the guy who hung himself. Some people should be excused from service in my opinion.

    Jump

  • I laughed at that one. :)

    Jump

  • I heard the same thing, but I dont know if it was my parents or somewhere else. I just understood what they meant and remembered it as good advice. Also helps against inflated ego. :)

  • Have you ever met an actual dumb person?

    Jump

  • I promise it's not! It really is about hearing funny stories.

    I just think we tend to hang out with people of the same social class and may actually never encounter someone a bit dumb. Like I said, I really haven't.

  • Roku OS’s home screen now features a large, permanent ad

    Jump

  • This threat is super overblown for a device that doesn't listen to the internet. :)

    If hackers get into my local network, I have bigger problems.

  • Man calls in bomb threat because he doesn’t want to go to his own work farewell party

    Jump

  • I would just not go. It only looks good for the company who can pretend to care about you before they replace you.

  • New No Man's Sky Update

    Jump

  • I want to like this game but since all planets are the same, with the same resources, what's the point of it all...

    I was hoping it would be possible to find lots of different things and trade them or build things from them, but its just the same planet over and over with different colours and random animals that don't matter.

  • Roku OS’s home screen now features a large, permanent ad

    Jump

  • Don't need security fixes. Updates always makes things worse. So I'm very happy with current version and will keep it forever.

  • Watch: Zuckerberg’s superyacht arrives in Seattle just as Meta cuts 1,400 local jobs (video in body)

    Jump

  • It would give me joy to see that thing sink.

  • I dont have ads on my Nvidia shield but I never updated it either.
