    I have to quote St Carlin

    “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

      Well, fuck me. People think they’re clever with that line outside of reddit too.

            This!

            Er…um I mean, the Dunning-Kruger effect!

            Err… I just spit out my coffee!.. uhmmm

            The people love reading the same lines over and over and over and over, and yeah, obviously it makes me stupid.

                Apparently they like it. A lot. And can’t get enough. I said otherwise and hurt their feelings.

                  But that’s not what you said? You didn’t disagree with them you called them not clever/stupid. You’re the one that seems offended by people using a quote for some reason.

        I don’t think people think they’re being “clever” when they reference that quote

        It just give me a point of clarity in a crazy world. When people are being daft I just like to remember, probablity wise, I’m probably verbally fighting with a moron and morons are good at being dumb.

        Yah and just like Reddit, Lemme also has folks like you who must quip the obvious to feel smart.

        Snark doesn’t carry online the way you want it to.
