Aye aye!

I like how contemporary is more modern than modern.

Your logic isn’t cracked, but unfortunately it does nut work that way in practice. I blame shell corporations.

To whom are you conveying these instructions?

since Trump’s cabinet is just completely full of “meritocracy”.

Mediocrity.

Ha, if only. I wish it could be that rosy :'(

Maybe midiocracy?

It looks identical to that produced by MS Equation Editor.

If someone has a master of science or even bachelor of science degree, does that count as being sciency enough? What if they know the value of, and all the steps for, the scientific method? What if they even know many of the squigglier notations for maths?

Anti-ant antecedents antagonize contrabandits near Antananarivo (relatively speaking).

Oooo, good find! Busted.

Which Greg?

Do they actually say what “TGI” stands for? Is there some legal document that says its full name is “Thank God It’s Friday’s”? Maybe it actually stands for “The Grumpy Intestine Friday’s”.

I went so far as to trade my S&P500-flavored index funds for large cap value-flavored ones so I could avoid holding TSLA even by association. It’s so stupid how that moist waste of carbon-based material turned something as silly as an electric car brand into a political totem of autocracy.

Seems fair to me. I wish I lived in a world where the only platform he’d find is a street corner where no listens to his ranting.

Sometimes my pedantry can’t help itself, but the "their"s you used should have been "they’re"s

Sounds like there could be a lot of kissing cousins…

How about it’s just in poor taste to use it and its use probably says more about the user than the target?

And, if you use it, just be prepared for someone to take exception to you using it and you might just trigger yourself an ass beating or some other adverse consequence. Kind of like playing with fire crackers or bullet ants. Maybe, just maybe, you can find a better way to insult someone that’s a little more clever and incisive and makes you look like less of an ignorant asshole.

In what activities do you personally engage to cultivate your intellect?

A bit sensationalist, yes. I didn’t read it, but I hope it made some link between the hormone drops associated with shocking imagery and sounds and the cognitive high one receives in response to the ensuing neurosynaptic flood.

They’re basically addicts with the drugs being manufactured and distributed in-house; all they need is the evermore violent and shocking A/V catalyst to inject the proverbial needle.

I was of the understanding reading books had fallen out of favor and reality shows, endless scrolling, 24/7 news, and podcasts were the new and supposedly best way to expose oneself to entertainment disguised as information.

What’s your preferred method of acquiring knowledge and exercising your intelligence to hit the proverbial ‘ensmartment button’?
