gollark: Did you know? I find it marginally funny that when I make a point or have an opinion on something, people disagree and when I explain it they call me stupid and tell me to shut up even though I have made a valid point and try and present the idea that I am arrogant and trying to act smart. I point out that I have make no claim to being smart and also point out flaws in their methods, they ignore all the things I have said and just remember everything that has occurred as a reason to call me stupid, arrogant and lacking in social skills.
gollark: This is, of course, how time works.
gollark: * BAITED
