Touché!

I love love LOVE it when I get this comment.

I picked this handle for one reason: it’s like catnip for the intellectually tepid. The room temperature IQ crowd seemingly can’t resist making that exact comment and I can’t help but imagine they feel quite proud of their accomplishment, much like the joy and pride I see in my dog’s eyes after she takes a poo. Given my love of poking fun at people like yourself for being absolute houseplants, seeing them poke fun at themselves without even realizing it gives me a similar post-defecation spring in my step.

No U

LOL

We can only hope he experiences a moment of clarity just before he dies.

The lost technology of the ancients is most glorious.

Better luck next time. It was a good first try, I’m sure you can do better if you keep at it!

LOL you’re going to have to up your game kid, your trolling is much too obvious. I suggest sandwiching the baiting comments you want people to “rage correct” between plausible statements a person of normal intelligence would make. When every comment makes you appear implausibly stupid, it just becomes laughable. Once someone points out how you’re trolling, you’ve hit the rocks.

Everyone: stop feeding the troll or at least treat them like the lame troll they are. A 22 day old account whose first comment can be summarized as “I’m okay with people with tattoos going to concentration camps”.

There are many very stupid people in the world, but few people this stupid. It’s likely a troll.

Edit: see, even their response to this comment is designed to encourage engagement by making an easily verified false claim. Obvious troll is obvious and not even particularly creative.

It must be corn, it’s the only grass I can think of that grows tall enough for that horse’s lofty station.

Sharon Osborne can fuck off. She’s only notable because she rode Ozzy’s coattails, and only then because of rubbish reality TV.

100% what’s happening here.

“I want to be an arse with impunity!”

So yeah, it’s to keep out the jerks.

Thanks for not helping at all.

Narrator: yet one still made its way in.

Edit: all of my comments in this thread went from +3 to -1 while all of op’s heavily downvoted everything is now less so, all in the last few minutes. Army of alts to the rescue!

LOL I’m not an American. Your love of strawmen highlights your inability to actually respond to anything.

If you were even vaguely representative of Scandinavians, I’d steer clear. Luckily, I have family in Norway and Finland, so I know you’re just an ass and are full of shit.

By combining related and unrelated, reasonable and ridiculous examples, the unwary might think you made a legitimate argument. Instead, you made a straw man, probably without even realizing it, and it provides a great exemple of what this article is talking about.

Humans aren’t born with a robust mental skill set, so skills must be learned. If they are not learned, are learned poorly, or decline due to disuse, then functional intellectual performance suffers. AI use supplements or replaces multiple key skills, particularly relevant here the communication of complex concepts and critical thinking.

Critical thinking skills are, well, critical. Using critical thinking, I look at your comment and ask “does this comment make sense? Does listening to Donald Trump inherently mean letting him think for me? Could cognitive skill atrophy due to disuse be resisted by ‘not being a pushover’? Greatest of all, did this person read the fucking article?”

Answer key: no; LOL WTF nooo; obviously not.

You’re the numpty that leaves “Don’t like Chinese, never been. 1/5 stars” reviews for a Vietnamese restaurant, aren’t you?

The post is a shared link. The comments are about the link’s content. Responding critically about something you never read is like leaving a review for a restaurant you’ve never visited.

Boooooring.

Same in Italy x 100.

Just want to note this bloke took ten minutes to respond and this is the best they came up with.

Cool story bro

Just read it again, but harder. Then you’ll agree!
