You can’t blame anyone for being unable to sift through jargon.

It wasn’t always this way, though — general education standards have been severely eroded. There was a point in time where you could trust that a civil engineer would have the general knowledge required to understand what they don’t know — thus leaving the decision to better educated minds.

There are so many things wrong about how we teach each other in the U.S., and wrong with how we perceive being taught. So many people believe that unwarranted advice is the worst fucking crime imaginable, or that correcting someone’s spelling/grammar is a shitty thing to do. So many people are so innately positioned against learning that it’s no fucking wonder why your anesthesiologist has 0 fucking clue what the nation should do regarding immigration. Totally ignorant of the fact that they should absolutely be intelligent enough to come to the correct answers; at the very least they should be able to listen to those who come backed with facts and verify their veracity at a later point.

I have no idea what should I can do about it beyond being a grammar nazi. /endrant

My girlfriend just eats my pickles. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

That would require me to do something other than being smug, who do you think I am?

6 is too many.

Many people still do not believe it, though. Especially white people.

Brother literacy rates in Canada aren’t doing so hot either.

Canadian says dumb shit, more at 11

Got it, let me know when your head is out of your ass.

or is the problem Canadians who pretend they aren’t American

Yeah we both know what your point was. Sick necropost.

Imagine thinking this is a gotcha.

‘Hehe, this guy admitted he was wrong about something - fucking owned.’

You’re a child, go sit in the corner.

Holy, you need to stop responding to my messages.

Hold on, what?

If a beard hair getting in your mouth isn’t a strong enough reason for you to shave your beard, then it’s not a deal breaker/ you don’t hate it.

This is a ridiculous statement. Disliking an aspect of something and putting up with it for other reasons is such a natural thing it makes me wonder if you’ve ever styled yourself in any other capacity than troglodyte.

For example my girlfriend likes my beard. So I keep it. Because she likes it. You see how that works, cave person?

Yeah that context is important, the title is enough to make me write the whole thing off.

I understand why clickbait strategies are common, I am just not the common denominator that they’re aimed at. Am I judging a book by its cover? Yes… but I’d also judge ‘Notes on How to Skin a Baby’ by its cover so… idk.

Edit: that wasn’t fair of me. Let me rethink this response.

Edit2: I recognize the paradox here, I think I was using deceit incorrectly. I accept your responses, thanks for being cordial.

When did I say that?

I hate pubes because I don’t like hair near my mouth in general. I don’t ask my girlfriend to shave, she does it because she sees my own reaction when a beard hair gets in my mouth.

Like I said, blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.

Edit: I used deceitful incorrectly. There is no intent to deceive. It may be deceitful, it may be unintentionally misleading. There is nuance here.

I don’t care what you think your qualifications are. These three things are true: I love my girlfriend, I am sexually attracted to my girlfriend, I hate pubes. Whatever you think is irrelevant.

You don’t need to intend to be deceitful to be deceitful, just like you don’t need to intend to kill someone to kill them.

The world is not sweeping absolutes. Painting it as such always obscures some truth, this post is no different.

Edit: I’m just wrong here, I was misusing deceitful.

I’m not sure that I have, actually — blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.

I think anyone that makes blanket generalizations is deceitful, what a coincidence.
