I understand. Nothing ever changes and you are stuck in a limbo of perpetual repetition. If you read the same sentence a hundred times over, words will start to melt together and meaning will be lost. You've learned nothing and gained nothing. I understand.
You have led an empty life and have nothing to show for it. Fine. My life may not have been that empty, I excelled at school, but I still feel miserable. By your definition, I'm dumber then you.
Btw, you've written a megapost on the unpopular opinion thread that had a dozen witty and smart opinions. Surprise! You actually know stuff. And you like Fawlty Towers which needs at least some level of sophisticated thinking to appreciate.
It seems to me that you're more dissapointed that stupid, because you haven't been able to use your smarts to achieve something tangible.
Fyi, my definition of stupid is being so narrow-minded that you feel like your opinion is the absolute truth. A smart person will never be afraid to be proven wrong. He will welcome every proof that refutes his theories, because he know that this propagates progress and the discovery of truth. At least, he will never categorically refuse to hear an oppossing opinion, even if it doesn't change his.
No, by my definition, you are fine, because at my age or even less, you've done better, even if I'm not old. You come from the same region, which says a lot, and you sound a lot more natural at a language we've both had a long time to learn. I don't know or understand any other.
I have listened to the same old songs for years, about 7 or so - and always keep getting no more than 10% of the words no matter which song.
"Money for nothing" - still haven't assembled its lyrics in full, never will. "Electric avenue" - no chance too. Mind you, without lyrics I wouldn't know what Freddie says in "Another one bites the dust". I still don't know if it really is about murder, or breaking up. And why did Peter Gabriel do "Sledgehammer"..
My opinions aren't my own. I heard/read them verbatim.
Most of what I said here and was what I think, sounds very plain and everybody ignores it. My likes to comments ratio shows it. Nothing is an excuse for that in a place where everybody feels awful. Nothing but stupidity. I am worse than anybody on their worst day.
They aren't at all smart, but boring. They aren't even at all unpopular. If what you say is true, I could have written the Bible - you read one post, while ignoring the others, because they are shit. So does the Bible - read one good passage and never hear of the others, because they openly permit murder.
I never replied back, because I didn't get your war joke. I won't, if you explain it simpler, or simpler, or simpler than that. Not in the 5th or 6th time. That screams stupidity. How come everybody here are and sound more consistent and composed, and as you did, have much better jokes you could've easily read anywhere else, but I don't.
"Right, never mind the chetnik chickens" sounds like a good old joke (even if I don't get it). "Pringles is overrated" doesn't.
Sophisticated? You know even from interviews, as awesome people John and Rowan are, as George Carlin is, they are always in for the money and that's fine. Fawlty, Blackadder, Bean - they've always pandered to simple humor everybody can understand - physical comedy. Nothing special, so everybody can understand, even if they are stupid.
I never get their jokes during in person interviews. Neither the talking over each others' voices.
There's nothing to understand about body language and such. My only kind-of real friend has mental retardation and he laughs at Bean in the train.
Yes, your definition can account for a lot of stupidity. But the kind you can fix.
I am not. Listen, you see somebody who finds the only free therapy website - spends YEARS just saying "nobody, nothing" and "as usual" to people, when asked "how are you". It's an awful place (check the reviews) but I really did so, for probably over a thousand people. A handful of the regulars there I've talked to again, years after we first talked - and they said "wait, aren't you so and so years old, from Bulgaria?" They remember me for my stupidity and how boring I am. Out of many.
You see them looking for a deadly euthanasia drug - on the internet, in places like alibaba. People got here like civilised, off reddit when a community was there. I was hoping for an answer in the alt.suicide.holiday GOOGLE GROUP. Waiting for a 20 years inactive group to answer.
You see them not being even able to work out info in a suicide manual. Yes, and I have proof. I have actively wasted a few members' time and they can tell you themselves. I have all but wasted their time over issues not concerning them the slightest. I have done so like I'm replying to you now - long, useless, incoherent because I don't know any better.
What person wants to see if Ayn Rand had nudes? Listen to old music his parents were too young to - daily? Has never seen the two later Godfatherd, The Matrix, The Shawshank Redemption, The Good, bad and ugly, Fight Club, doesn't like Game of Thrones, Narcos, Suits or any other franchise like that?
Who is stupid, while being also obese, ugly, balding, poor, broke, jobless, boring, feeling old, not having a car and has no education either?
Who understands only 1 or 2 books out of the 30 they've attempted to, but never will? Who wonders if the air has pressure, then why does the Earth not explode?
To be serious, I have all the signs of nothing anybody sane wants to be.
Only a stupid, no good, mentally ill and undiagnosed psychopath.
Sorry, but I am not what I look to be.
