    I’m pretty stupid though. That’s why I’m not a scientist. I understand that all of the seemingly magical things I’ve interacted with all of my life aren’t actually magical, but can be understood and recreated by people with the intellect to do it. Take my love of the first 3 Mortal Kombat games (technically 4 counting ultimate) for example. I couldn’t make them. If I traveled back to the 1800s to show them off I’d be accused of witchcraft.

    They work though. Someone smarter than me made it happen. Multiple intelligent people worked together to make all of this magic happen.

    My ignorant ass needs to trust the experts in their area of expertise. So do the other ignorant assholes.

    I don’t understand how all of these morons are out here using tech that they couldn’t come close to understanding, but they’re so confident they are smart enough to understand climate science.

    Build your phone from scratch and then come talk to me about something advanced, asshole. That’s all I’m saying.

    Makes me wanna rip my head off and throw it.
