    Had my republican friend mention this one. He’s not an idiot either. Had to explain what Arabic numbers are.

      He doesn’t need to be an idiot to be lacking education. Knowing the name of the system is not necessary to use it. Yet this basic knowledge taught to small children hasn’t reach him. In such context, he’s not at fault but the teaching system.

        X is full with MAGA memeing shit about libs. Yet here they’re too dumb to realize they’re being had.

        Not sure which type of dumb is worse. One is deliberate ignorance, the other the self-centeredness of a child.

        Oh, it very probably did get told to him at some point. But like the majority of people here, he’s forgotten it as one of those “useless” pieces of knowledge that got taught to you that y’all bitch about.

        Unless it’s something you need to know regularly, you will forget it.

      I’d hate to meet a chud who is considered an idiot if that’s what passes for a smart one
