Are you telling me that you honestly believe that you're intelligent? With a comment history like that!?

[–] mechoman444 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

O God you went through my comments history.

I'm not trying to quantify my intelligence.

But clearly, I am smarter than you.

[–] LengAwaits 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You don't do your due diligence on your conversational partners? Ones you waste this much time on?

Clearly you are smarter than me! But then, I already told you that I'm a moron.

[–] mechoman444 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You say that you're a moron thinking that the self-deprecation makes you sound like an intellectual.

But you really are a moron.

[–] LengAwaits 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

So you're a mind-reader and smarter than me?

I'm not in the habit of saying things I don't mean. How does self-deprecation make one sound like an intellectual, exactly?

I am not a smart man. I do my best to get smarter every day, but I'm not inherently intelligent.

[–] mechoman444 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

You're doing it again the self-deprecation isn't going to help you here you're still an idiot.

[–] LengAwaits 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Can't even answer a direct question.

How does self-deprecation make one sound like an intellectual, exactly?

[–] mechoman444 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It doesn't. Which is my point.

[–] LengAwaits 1 points 9 hours ago

So let me follow your logic, then.

I'm saying I'm dumb just to "sound like an intellectual". But saying I'm dumb actually doesn't make me sound like an intellectual, like you think I think. I just am dumb, like I've been saying all this time, genuinely, with no audience other than you on a dead thread.

Whew. That's a pretzel if I ever saw one.

Have you ever considered that there might be people out there who don't think they're as smart as you seem believe that you are?

I'm not an intellectual. I'm a 40-something man who has seen some shit and learned a lot, but never had the luxury of a college education. Of course I'd like to improve myself, who wouldn't? For me that means acknowledging that I'm not as smart as I wish I were.

That said, if you wanna exchange addresses we could be real life pen-pals. I'm enjoying talking with you. You're not as dumb as you think I am.
