    And despite all this, Remmy P. can still form babby.

    (And vote. And drive a car, keep and bear a firearm, etc.)

    Scary.

      No, it’s not.

      Scary is the guy who can form babby, and drive and own a gun, who is also absolutely and completely convinced that they are right about everything.

      Remmy P is not the problem, because Remmy P encountered a situation where their poor information didn’t mesh with reality and immediately stopped and asked for help. Remmy P is learning. Remmy P recognizes their ignorance.

      There are people with PhDs who do not have this basic life skill.

      Those people scare me. Remmy P just needs a little help.

      Remember, everyone is a fucking idiot sometimes. Even (especially) smart people.

        You know what, that’s a fair point. It does take some humility to be able to admit that one might be wrong. And it seems like that kind of humility is somewhat hard to come by these days.
