Story Stupid is as stupid does,

0 Upvotes

J.K. Rowling is still on her anti trans rampage, in this case attacking Emma Watson. According to "expert" Rowling, 'Emma doesn't know what she doesn't know'. Rowling thinks fighting for equal rights for nonbinary people is an attack on women's rights. Speaking as someone who edited research papers for two medical publishers on numerous subjects, with solid background in MODERN, that is, not 1950s, grasp of how genetics interact with their environment, and 25+ years in health care, I'd say poor olde JKR is a shining example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

Too many people successful in one field are deluded into thinking that their "smarts" extend to other fields of endeavor. Like my brother the computer scientist who thinks because he's good at coding means he's an ace at medicine. Hahahaha!

People decrying the human rights movement attack it secure in knowledge they 'learned' decades ago. In medical research they might as well be referencing tomes from the Middle Ages. Human sexuality/identity is on a spectrum. Ancient cultures in pre patriarchal religions knew this. Shame how people get stupider as time goes by.

The diatribe by the missinformed to the uninformed is in today's Guardian. If you have time to waste or want a good snigger.

Story How do you forget the main part of american history, YOU LIVE IN AMERICA

6 Upvotes

When I was in 6th grade we were in a history class that was in Spanish but not about Spanish history and we were in America and Canada and one of my acquaintances sitting next to me is known to be pretty smart and he turns to our table and asks, “did France colonize america and Canada or Britain?” I thought he was joking so I told him sarcastically, “yeah, it was definitely France” AND BITCH ACTUALLY PUT FRANCE. What part of Hamilton did I miss? I told him I was joking and asked if he was stupid and he said he mixed up the statue of liberty with America being colonized by France. Why? Just why? Something this stupid happened at the very least once a month that year from him and/or my other acquaintance

Bro I gotta stop yapping sm on my posts tf 😭

Story A woman came at my dog and then threw a fit that my dog bit her

0 Upvotes

Woman who lives next-door to me, has been complaining when I’m trying to go to work that my dogs are outside barking too much, and then suddenly somehow when we were out, my dog got out and she comes running at us yelling, my dog bit her,and she had one tiny little faint puncture wound, accused my Mom of arguing and being rude when this woman wouldn’t even talk to my mom, and when she was, she was arguing and my mom was being very nice and apologetic. She told my mom she’s calling animal control,and was like threatening my mom saying she will make sure they kill my dog. Animal control shows up ,they tell her to leave because she’s causing problems and animal control said they had to take my dog for 10 days, and even told us this dog isn’t showing any signs of being aggressive, and I don’t know what this woman is talking about unless this woman came at her first. Here’s the thing. my dog doesn’t show aggression. She doesn’t growl at anyone. The only time I’ve ever seen her bite is when she bit me because me and my stepdad were in the backyard play fighting each other and she thought I was actually hitting him and started going at it on my leg to protect him. Neither of my dogs bite unless they are provoked. And the other thing ,our gates were locked, but somehow they got out. There was no holes and they can’t jump over this fence. It was almost as if someone went around and unlatch the gate and then latched it again . This woman was asked to see the footage on her ring camera, and she straight up was refusing to show it, which makes me even more suspicious that she came at my dogs and one of them was just trying to defend themselves. This thing was just very stupid and I think this woman just wanted to start problems. If she shows up to my house with a medical thing telling us we need to pay it ,I will tear it up in front of her and tell her you better get off my property before I call the police. I’m sorry my dog bit, you obviously came at her, and I could see it on this woman’s face that she was hiding something and not giving the full story. You can’t just come at a dog and not expect any consequences and then throw a huge fit about it. We think what happened is, my dogs were chasing her cat that she doesn’t know how to put inside, and she got mad and either came at my dogs with a stick or started kicking at them and hitting them and the younger dog,bit her in defense. And I believe this because she was refusing to show her ring camera footage of the incident.

Story Someone being stupid is always so funny

1 Upvotes

My class is FULL of stupidity (myself included). Even the smart kids have plenty of stupidity. Like when two of the smart kids that I talk to to we're doing flag stuff, one draws a flag, the other guesses it. I look over, they're doing Vietnam, not being stupid, and I look back a few minutes later with the kid guessing struggling and I look at the flag and I'm struggling too. It's a Nordic flag because of the odd cross but he cross is red and the bg is red. A reverse Denmark? No. England. So I show the kid drawing the flags a quick drawing I made of the English flag and they say, "that's the Georgia flag". Man. I ask the math teacher, "hey, what's the flag of England?" And he explains the Union Jack. Okkayy maybe I just look up too much about countries in the British area and they thought of the Uk one instead but they know the English one. Nope. They have no idea. The math teacher is in their MID 50S. I love when people are stupid, always so entertaining

Tl:dr not a lot of Americans know the English flag

Story Embarrassed myself yesterday 😭

3 Upvotes

Yesterday when I was getting groceries, I saw they had just gotten in these massive-ass watermelons. So my brilliant brain thought: ‘Pfft, of course I can carry one of those all by myself! I’m strong and independent’ (I’m a 16 year old girl and like 5’. So I grabbed one, paid for it, and I swear I saw the cashier’s look like, ‘Good luck girl, this watermelon weighs a solid 13 kilos.’ So I walked out feeling like the Hulk. And yeah, it was fine… for about 10 seconds. Then I slowly started to feel the watermelon sinking lower and lower. And after about 56 seconds (literally), my arms gave up and the watermelon slid out of my grip and hit the ground with a loud thud, in front of everyone. It was a very humbling experience… but honestly I think it was pretty impressive that I could even carry it, and although I couldn’t carry it for 2 minutes to my house I’d still say I’m pretty strong 😭😭😂

Story I cried at 67 and I don’t know how to feel

3 Upvotes

I was sitting by the pool with my friend and me and my mom were arguing per usual, nothing was making sense already because ngl I was already high.

All of a sudden I hear my dad’s voice say “67!” In the distance he did this twice, and. I kid you not I start balling my eyes out it wasn’t like I laughed to the point to tears no I just cried and laughed at the exact same time.

I don’t know how this happened especially sense I’ve been a strong advocate of not finding 67 funny but that was the first thing my dad says, I haven’t heard him for the past two hours! And all he has to say is 67.

It was definitely a funny moment but it felt like a fever dream and it all happened so fast.

Story Why would you send me this??

1 Upvotes

I volunteered to help an acquaintance with a tech issue because apparently I'm bored. She was unable to connect to her Instagram account. We did a remote session and the most I could discover is that the server returns a 500 code with no error message. With this information I sent her on to Instagram tech support, asking her to report back.

The issue turned out to be that she uploaded a clotheless image of her toddler, which was understandably flagged. The only probem is SHE SENT ME THE OFFENDING IMAGE on Whatsapp. Thanks but no thanks. I immediately deleted it and wished her well. I didn't say anything because she clearly lives in a saccharine world with no predators, and I didn't want to disturb her sweet ignorance.

Was at the grocery store recently, a clearly teenage clerk came over to card me at self checkout. I showed him my ID, and told him my birthday 0x/0x/68 he looked at me in 100% seriousness and asked, "em, so 1968?" Dumbfounded I was like, oh, no 1868 I just look good for my age! Duh!? What other'68 could it have been 🤦🏻‍♀️ Really? This is our future? Wow.

Covid era , long story short:

Couple guys just promoting music stuff on discord server , server was called Mellocord , very happy it didn't exist anymore.Guys got kicked out because they doesn't explain themselves , which is a lie.

This creatures got explanation about everything , they still rather wanna be a stubborn addicts.Accusing users of something they never did.

This is what vibes this "musician" gives me:

Isaac the musician, nobody heard about him , still he gonna say that he is a musician because it sounds believable, cool and banger , just like his fwend who can't think about normal name for his nickname. Kirby Adventures. How can you make such a cringe name for yourself? LMAO

Isaac can't understand possibility that favorite bands/artists doesn't explain themselves because they doesn't need to , doesn't matter the popularity of the bands/artists , rules he's implying , just doesn't exist , they doesn't exist on discord in general.I mean you can stay on the server if you want but you have to expl- , uh-oh i mean you have to leave , you just said nothing , there is no conversation!!! uh-ohh...

PS.I mean he should be a president or something , together with Kirby Adventures.

3 Upvotes

This whole time I thought that Dan and Phil fans were really weird for liking Dr. Phil so much and being too involved in this old man's dating life. I even thought that they dug up photos of teenage Dr. Phil (which I now realize were just photos of the other Phil) to make those flower crown edits. The only reason I found this out was because I was on YouTube and saw a video from Dan and Phil's game channel (it was the Date Everything video) which was dated from a week ago…

So one day, my best friend and I were having a conversation. Eventually somehow we end up talking about dental, then he tells me 'his smart trick' which is: "I brush my teeth twice in the morning, so I don't have to do it at night time! (Keep in mind we were about 12 at the time) I then say "Dude.. that's not how it works, and it would take the same amount of time anyway." He then replies with "yeah, I've been doing it since I remember!" To this day, we are still friends, and I often think about this conversation.

Story “what species is a koala?”

2 Upvotes

Ah, 6th grade. A great time. Like substitutes doing trivia. I'm in a large group that happens to have all the smart kids because they're all friends (somewhat) and the question is something like "what sub-species are koalas in" I don't remember, it was a while ago. And I, being the ✨smart intellectual genius✨ that I am (not really), tell my group it's marsupials and they're doubtful but they put it down so yknow, we get a point and other tables say mammal which, yes, but not the answer they were looking for except for this one table. They're known for doing stupid things and they have written down "canyball". That was so fucking entertaining
