      I got one I can pull one out of my arse.

      People are too nice and polite. Back in the day someone would say some shit and you could reply “what the fuck do you know about that? Fuck off, you dropped out of school at 16 and you’re telling me you know about that. You’re full of shit and you know it. You might actually be the stupidest person i know. Greg you dont know this guy, i do he once got stuck outside in the rain for 45 minutes because he was pushing a pull door. He even watched someone come out and didnt manage to work it out”

      Also ignorance was made cool on TV. TV used to be about the best and the brightest, you can go watch old news articles, documentaries or read the newspaper. It was written above the average to stretch people. Then cheap TV came on where we were kind of meant to laugh at poor stupid people, but they do have some good characteristics. They can be funny, nice, insightful suddenly people enjoy them and listen to them act like them

      Ease of use is more important than anything and it’s a race to the bottom. That’s why I force myself to read books or I’m going to get brain rot. But back in the day all you could do was read books.
