Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Image doesn't mention IQ
It actually takes a lot of IQ to infer, you know, context.
To be fair you need a very high IQ to understand ~~Rick and Morty~~ a Twitter thread
In all seriousness there's a difference between being a nerd, being smart, and having a high IQ, and the interchanging of these terms can mislead people. The same thing is happening with the term "Techbro" elsewhere in this thread.
the punchline to your joke was The Aristrocrats and yet there were no aristocrats present in the body of the joke
in all seriousness, not all incestuous families are aristrocratic, and the interchanging of these terms can mislead people. the same thing is happening with the “comedy” elsewhere in this thread.
Actually I lied this one is also a mess. If you want to be an argumentative dick to me then find a point and make it.
why are you talking about iq? the image doesn’t mention it and context and object permanence can’t get you if you post enough shit memes
Let's stick to one nasty reply per comment. I'm choosing this one as the one to ignore because it's less coherent.
ok you’re hopeless, fuck along now
You're going to go through life thinking you're so much better than everyone else, that you're above it all-- including this comment, can't wait to see what your "funny" reply will be this time-- until one day you hit a wall you can't dismiss and you're going to crash hard. On that day I hope you look back at what you've done and who you chose to be and despair.
and you haven't yet understood that you're missing the point, and that you're sounding like an utter dipshit with your foot so thoroughly in mouth?
When did lemmy get so mean? I didn't miss the point. I get that the joke is nft bros don't understand that people hate them because they're sexist scam artists, not because they claim to be nerds. Are we limited to only responding directly to the main point of a post? That's a little limiting to the variety of discussions we could be having, don't you think?
Since people don't seem to have gotten my point: I'm not defending techbros. I'm saying that it's strange to make the title about IQ when they aren't pretending to have a high IQ, they're pretending to be nerds. Those are different things.
thank fuck I banned them before they could continue this thread. holy shit
Gonna have to keep the weird nerds image macro on hand (in scripts/shortcuts)…
haha, when did [Internet Explorer] get so mean?
IP is the meanest protocol because without it nobody could yell at me when I steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the merest possibility that there could be a joke I don’t understand
…yet. it’s time for a quake lan party and everybody’s invited!
One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating the obvious...
your mum doesn't mention iq
Gottem
you don’t say
