I can imagine a social butterfly looking down on nerds. Although I gotta level with you: that sounds like something that would primarily occur in high school to me. Maybe you’re grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you.

That’s neither here nor there and sidesteps the point. Also, depending on how you define normies and nerds, it’s a bit silly. You can’t imagine a random person being worked up by being called names online. I mean, okay, if you say so.

Have someone refer to you as a normie and lmk if it feels neutral or derogatory.

And by commenting this, you’re now on top with the superiority complex, lol. Getting to feel superior to both of us, bravo.

Yeah, OP was for sure putting people down with this meme. You’re arguing in bad faith here, putting aside the very obvious for the sake of having an argument.

Using the term “normies” paints you as having a superiority complex, which isn’t the best look.

I’d never heard of S mode until my aging mother needed to get on a Zoom call with her doctor, and I couldn’t install the app on her laptop because of it.

I set her up to use the web browser mode instead. Leaving it on was for the best at that point. I kinda figured S mode meant senior mode like for old people or something, idk. It certainly prevented her from installing anything bad by accident: and it was just a youtube and email thing for her anyway.

He’s looking sharp as a tack, alright. Now shut up and color, kids. You’re nowhere near as mentally up to it as these pros.

Okay now, if someone could please help the honorable gentleman from Kentucky with his diaper… thank you!

There was a fun video that got a lot of public views from WebMD in the last ~week. Wherein some of the execs appeared to be mandating RTO from a green screen of an office.

Just the biggest example that comes immediately to mind.

Obviously it’s not the same as something like heroin or benzos but it’s more than just more dreams.

It’s not even the same as caffeine, my dude.

Wow, you remember vivid dreams. That’s clearly withdrawl.

…In the most technical sense, only. You’re technically correct, the best form of correct. Which is pretty much the definition of pedantry.

That’s about it. I am getting a good amount of pushback from people who very much like the idea that being able to dream again and not being high are withdrawl.

And sure, they’re all technically correct in the most pedantic way.

Shocked that discord employed 1k people tbh.

The legislative branch has been busted for so long that they literally ceded power to go to war to the executive for the good of the nation. Y’all can feel free to undo that at any time once you’re not completely broken.

This article seems to imply that stopping heavy marijuana use can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Yeah, I’m calling bullshit on that.

Never was a fan of blaming the entire dumpster fire on the leader of the executive branch any more than I believe we should blame that leader for things like gas prices.

What exactly do we expect the leader of the executive branch to do when the leadership of the judicial branch invalidates a law written by the legislative branch many years ago when it was able to agree on such things.

How much power are we willing to cede to a single person (the president) as a result of our legislative branch being completely unable to function? The legislative branch creates laws, the judicial branch rules on if those laws are constitutional and the executive has a veto and controls the armed forces and foreign policy (among honestly, maybe too many other things). I feel like rewatching schoolhouse rock might be fun. Let’s do that, huh?

Never play Star Citizen, even if it somehow becomes playable. Got it.

100%, well said!

I think the issue could be distilled down to the fact that women globally have been forced due to economic factors to choose the workplace over the home. It’s a good idea for women to have equal rights in the workplace, and they should be able to choose a career over a family. But basically, every economy shifted to the point where now you need two average salaries to support a household. This means keeping one parent home to watch the kids is financial suicide for most families.

The results are fewer children, dumber children, and a shittier society. Tax incentives for having kids are a start, but not nearly enough to tip the scales at all.
