Hm, seconded. I am that person. My IQ is somewhere in the top 1%, but at times I think it takes everything I have to operate as a functional adult. Free advice from the horse’s mouth: intelligence is overrated as a positive trait. Ambition, the ability to work hard, compassion, empathy... these are just a few of the…

I guess nothing’s impossible. But I have an IQ in the 150's range myself, and Trump really just seems like a moron to me. If not, he’s playing a deeper game than I can conceive of pulling off.

If you can’t forgive your enemies, nobody you deal with will ever have a reason to make peace. As you may note, he’s working on those several million other sympathizers, but it takes time. I for one applaud this man for leaving his former life behind and helping others do the same. It is the height of arrogance to…

No one is talking about responsibility. The question is, which is more important? Not feeling the need to show empathy because it’s not fair toward the victims of racial hate, or doing whatever it takes, even if it offends sensibilities, even if it offends one’s own sense of justice, to take a step forward? This guy’s…

So I’m the guy who approved of your 20xx comment, and I bought the game last night. This game is to Castlevania what 20xx is to Megaman. In fact, they’re extremely similar in some ways. If you like 20xx, I think you’ll really like this too.

No one starts out great at their craft. You get better by doing.

It’s easy to say that from the outside in, but I suspect you wouldn’t like people stealing your work, even if your work wasn’t widely recognized or acclaimed. Not everyone is a Mozart, but that doesn’t mean it’s somehow better to rip off Nickelback. Even the worst writer in the world doesn’t deserve to have something…

20XX is freaking amazing. It turns out, you really can go home again.

It’s true that those are core cliches, but as a sometime writer, this many coincidences across one piece is simply not possible. It’s a giant red flag for plagiarism. It’s not just word choice, it’s sentence structure, order of topics covered, time spent on each area. If you take the original review, then change words…

Yeah... it still kinda stings, though.

It’s never Lupus. 

Surprisingly good. Worth a watch.

*sniff* Oh Duff McWhalen,. You were too good for this world...

Welp, we’re boned. Or no, wait. Didn’t conservatives say it was super-important never to confirm a Justice during an election year?

Nevermind, it’s clear you’re just looking for targets, not discourse.

Dog whistles are intentional.

I’m afraid that’s not at all the argument. First, please note that it doesn’t contain the n-word. As you can see, it differs by a letter. Second, if dog-whistling racists have used it, you can’t stop them from doing it any more than you can stop someone from calling somebody a “mother-trucker”. Third, if you’re a…

Pretty sure you’re just making shit up now. Cheap isn’t a stereotype that gets tossed at minorities unless you’re Jewish, because by its nature it means you’re well off but stingy. Now you’re just conflating ‘poor’ with ‘cheap’ when they’re nothing alike. There’s nothing wrong with admitting a mistake, but you seem…

Uh, well it does sort of matter. ‘Niggardly’ has no link to racism in any form, it’s just a coincidence. Yet people have been fired for using it, and forced to apologize to the public for the public’s own ignorance concerning it.
