Denying intellectual disparities is denying the vulnerability of people with special needs, not to mention average folks who are easily deceived, swindled, manipulated, propagandized, and parasitized by the rich and powerful every single day.

You don’t know people who are clearly dumb?
The average ACT score for college bound seniors in Florida is 18. The test costs money, which means they’re trying their best. It’s childishly easy. My cat, who is illiterate, can score almost as high (answering at random). Again, the average is 18. What kind of conversations can you have with people who can’t read basic English? I’m asking sincerely, because as far as I can tell the answer is “none.” Maybe you can discuss the weather? Sports? Idk.
I want to stress that Americans, uniquely, are really weird about testing mental ability, probably because of their history of racism. Nevertheless, mental ability is a real phenomenon. Yes, high IQ doesn’t make you a good person, and it clearly has very little to do with accumulating wealth. But it does make life a hell of a lot easier.

They’re not. Last I checked the percentage virgins at age 30 was almost double digits.

Yeah, so do most word processors. Microsoft is unique in so many ways.

Fun fact, a few years ago Microsoft Word removed their auto-recovery (pseudo-autosave) feature, and rebranded it so that it’s only available through their OneDrive service.
If you write for an hour and your computer crashes, you’re shit out of luck (unless you have a really old version of Microsoft Word).

My problem isn’t with that half of your sentence, troglodyte.

Honest question, are you illiterate?

And for a goal like this^ I’d slaughter them gleefully.

A simpler solution is to simply abolish wealth hoarding, impose sensible consumption limits (so, no cars or commercial plane travel, no meat, no 800 watt gaming rigs), and continue to encourage population decline. Boom, everyone is healthy, the air is clean, and you can keep your house.

Yes, some people enjoy poop. Why don’t you?

He sounds reasonable to me.

That’s the fun part: they were never ancaps at all! Even that incorrect conclusion would have required reading and curiosity.

Yes, it’s so suspicious that to cover the crimes of a psychopath with a media empire would take several hours of documentary evidence.
- Comment on I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Sociopath 1 year ago:
Creatures like Mr. Beast need to be destroyed and his carcass displayed as a warning to others. That would be obviously moral but really impractical so I’m not promoting it.

Forum discussions around food is a biochemists personal hell. No offense, but you’re all dumb as shit.
- Comment on How is it possible that praline pecans have less calories than regular pecans? 1 year ago:
So I just want to make clear to everyone who hasn’t read the scientific literature, every empirical claim this ignoramus said is false^
I don’t know why people treat food as a religion, but it’s really fucking annoying.
