Question above is pretty blunt but was doing a study for a college course and came across that stat. How is that possible? My high school sucked but I was well equipped even with that sub standard level of education for college. Obviously income is a thing but to think 1 out of 5 American adults is categorized as illiterate is…astounding. Now poor media literacy I get, but not this. Edit: this was from a department of education report from 2022. Just incase people are curious where that comes from. It does also specify as literate in English so maybe not as grim as I thought.

    Well The Fuck. Keep believing in your “fairy tales” and swear by it all of your devoted lifetime if you like… …Not too soon enough your tower of babel is showing untold signs of weakness from your troubled mind through your poisonous twisted tongue. Irrationality is your forte I can see.

      Okay I was actually able to follow that, you did a much better job of keeping one faint shred of coherent thought in there (barely).

      Unfortunately that thought was you either being a troll or a dumbass (my money’s on troll). Either way, I’m out chief, enjoy the rest of your day.
