Stupidity

I'm mildly observant... I've noticed you not getting jokes and sometimes being unable to detect sarcasm, I just pinned that down to you not being good at noticing internet sarcasm, a lot of people can't detect internet sarcasm.

I've also noticed you call people retards, when I say 'people' I mean Captain_Caveman. But still, not that you ARE retarded but I would've thought it would be a word you'd steer clear of the word.

Center, Favorite, Color... and now "checks".

Outrage.

Language evolves slightly differently between two groups separated by an ocean: film at eleven.

I have trouble getting jokes in real life too, whenever people tell me something in a serious tone I take it seriously. I also have a terrible habit of remembering commands and directions even right after they're given to me. My rote memory is terrible.

I'm not offended by the use of the word retard. I'm more offended by how so many people on the internet think aspergers is f*cking hilarious.

I went to high school with a girl who didn't know who the Beatles were. Here's the story: The school jazz band was playing an arrangement of "With A Little Help From My Friends" and on the program the writing credits said "Lennon/McCartney". So this girl comes to me the next day in the middle of a class with a program and says "Who are these guys?" To keep it simple I said they were two members of the Beatles. She says, "I've never heard of them before! Are they good?" The whole class started laughing.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was about 10, so up until then teachers and other students used to think I was a little dumber than every one else because I couldn't read or write at the same level as everybody in the class. But getting a diagnosis helped tremendously and I started to practise reading and writing like hell. My comprehension and math skills improved as well. Now I'm halfway through university. But I could always play music. For some reason, notes on a page made more sense to me than a bunch of crazy symbols

I used to date this girl who asked me one time what Nazis were, I kid you not.

Is there a back story? How did that conversation unfold? Why did you date a 4 year old?

So many questions!

There's not really much more to the story than that. She was 21 at the time and I was 20. I made some comment about Nazis for some reason and she said, "Wait, what's a Nazi again?". So I had to explain to her what Nazis were.

"Wait, what's a Nazi again?"

Wow.

I had to explain to someone what an Inuit was the other day:

Me: "You're such an Inuit!"

Them: "What's an Inuit?"

Me: "Eskimo."

Them: "Oh."

Not on the same level as explaining what a Nazi is though.

I know a girl who didn't what the holocaust was. So, I stopped talking to her as much.

Sounds like her and my ex-girlfriend should hang out.
