      She was smart enough to not let the things she doesn’t understand drag her down. In reality, there’s not one single intelligence.

        I used to hang out with a different kind of dumb person. He would watch a movie he didn’t understand but thought he did. Once i “flirted” for him with his ex girlfriend over text, because he wanted her back, but most of the time had no idea what she was talking about. She said she saw him today and he had a new haircut. I texted back: yeah they grew over my head (it’s a saying in german that means something is getting too much, but it also is a hair pun.) she laughed and i gave his phone back. He read it and didn’t understand it. Even if I explained it to him, he just didn’t understand what might be funny. So he texted her back: he also shaved his pubes. God bless his soul.

          LMAO, I thought that was funny.
          I guess this means I am also a dumb one.

            Making a clever joke, and then following it up with a completely juvenile joke or dumb observation is also a valid strategy. Shows you can be smart but not aloof.

      Same, I also know a girl like this. Maybe not the sharpest tool in the shed but she’s lovely and I wouldn’t change her for anything. Intelligence isn’t the only positive attribute a person can have. Kindness and generosity are massively important!

    Smart enough to realize everything is shit is a real debilitating condition and honestly, one doesn’t haven’t to be very smart to realize that.

    I often also feel this way, although I also look at a lot of voting-aged people in the US and realize that being that dumb usually just means you are angry all the time.

    I feel this one, but Vin Diesel is actually a decent actor? Find Me Guilty is a banger, Boiler Room is solid, he was good in Saving Private Ryan and he was The Iron Giant ffs

      Like Adam Sandler, Vin Diesel can act but chooses a lot of projects that do the opposite of showcasing that skill.

    Some days it feels like it would be easier to take a ball peen hammer to my prefrontal cortex than deal with the rest of my species.
