I’m 100% certain you speak solely for yourself when you say “Spaceballs was not-that-bad.”

Your assuming we wouldn’t just get a job

Yeah... as a society, we don’t exactly support people offing themselves for being failures.

If you have no problems with Windlands, you will certainly not have problems with this. The only games that set off my nausea are Robinson and that one on VR world where you’re in the mech thing and you’re hopping around asteroids, I forget the name.

They seem to also fail to understand the basics of sexual reproduction. I guess they should stop with the abstinence only sex ed.

I have my “VR legs” and can play games like Eve: Valkyrie and Windlands for hours on end. I played Farpoint for about an hour before I got sweaty (you know, the sweats that precede nausea?) and had to stop. Granted, this is the first time I’ve picked up my PSVR in a few months, so I’m sure as soon as I play it some…

As a leftie when it comes to holding guns (and other sports things, but weirdly not anything else) it works perfectly. There’s a leftie mode in Farpoint so it doesn’t even mess with you by having the wrong hands holding the gun.

Let’s not forget, Bill Clinton was impeached for getting a blow job in the oval office.

Are you a climate scientist? Do you speak for all climate scientists? Unless and until you do, then I’m going to go ahead and ignore you and go with the experts.

Yeah... see, here’s the problem with your “analysis” it doesn’t account for the fact that the original claim is statistical valid and you copy and pasted an very terrible analysis that didn’t actually disprove anything.

A high dose of skepticism is healthy.

So, Idiocracy? I do actually find (at least in my anecdotal experience) that the less education someone has, the more kids they tend to have, or if they’re educated and they have a lot of kids, they tend to be very religious. But, of all my friends, those of us with at least college degrees have zero to one kid (most…

I think us nerds (cough, intellectuals) are trying to be polite.

I just think we’ve inadvertently lowered the bar to clearly unacceptable levels

You’re welcome. ;)

Pretty much.

But... does rejection of scientific proof make a person dumber? I mean, if someone outright rejects actual proof, exclusive of mental illness, would that person be deemed “stupid?” Because, they probably, in all likelihood, have as much or more education than any person in the past and they’re consciously disregarding…

I’m happy to be “that guy.” As a lawyer, being “that guy” is basically my job.

That’s probably true. The loudest idiots are the most prominent. I do find smarter people tend to be more subdued. Perhaps intellectuals need to be as “in your face” as the loudest idiots.

Well, I think we (meaning the US, not me personally) elected the Supreme Leader of the idiots as President. So, I mean, they’re kind of winning, if not by a percentage, by importance of the roles in which they inhabit.
