The comments in that thread are so lovely. Debates on ages of a prodigy to what type of instrument she is playing to how good or bad she is. People are so smart and talented they want the world to know from their Twitter/X response.
Out for the afternoon dog walk, I had an idea for a super-villain(?): Captain Stupid. Alter-ego: Darwin Charles. He doesn't rob anything or do any typical "crimes," but when he sees someone who is clearly too stupid to live, he kills them, (hopefully) eliminating them from the gene pool.
On a related note, for a time I was confused by how my smarts could've degraded to the point where, watching "Jeopardy!" I realize I'm no longer fast enough to be a viable contestant--yet it seems like the vast majority of people in the world are exponentially stupider than they were a few years ago. Then I realized: They have far more smart people than they need for "Jeopardy!" That's why they have screening: so they can pick the ones they think will be best for the show. Even if the average IQ dropped significantly they could still find smart contestants. They just wouldn't have as wide a selection to choose from.
Do you think there are any checks and balances at suicide hotlines, to make sure they don't get an operator who's just like "Y'know, you should stop being a pussy and just do it." :bergman:
Today I replaced the gaskets and bolts on a toilet. Technically it is an easy job, IN REALITY, getting the tank gasket to seat is not super easy when you can't actually get behind the toilet to see what you are doing. The youtubers made it look easy. I probably tried to tighten the wing nuts for 45 minutes before I realized the entire bolt was turning. I SWEATED AND I SWEARED.
