Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Chewbacca]

I used have a work colleague (in QA) who had a masters in chemistry and who performed exorcisms at the weekend. He told me straight faced that he had seen the devil with his own eyes.

He was from Teeside though which did explain a lot.

Hopefully they force this grifter to be bankrupt.

Know a fair few yeah. Plenty are nice, but they're all in some way unhinged/braindead. At an even higher rate than the rest of us.

I think the word you`re looking for is eccentric.

I know a lad, who`s a consultant anaesthetist, pretty sure he was the youngest ever consultant in his field at the Royal.

His grasp of medicine and mathematics is astounding, however, before he got married and had a woman to look after him, his flat got burgled twice ( both times left the patio doors open ), he had two cars stolen ( both left unlocked ), smashed his knee and back snowboarding, has been issued with countless county court judgements, due to forgetting to pay his bills. quite often got mugged on his way home from nights out ( he lived off Princes Park ), used to routinely lose his phone . wallet / car keys / all of them in one go.

And this is a man, who makes life and death decisions every day lol

There's a surprising number of intellectual idiots out there.

An old friend has a Doctorate in material science but believes all kinds of whacko right wing conspiracies since hes moved to the US. Like Joe Biden runs a paedophile ring. Also thinks Trump is great. Has an unfortunate habit of dismissing any rebuttal of loony points by claiming he's a scientist so knows better.

I feel like I've lost him actually. God knows what happened

As a material scientist does he think steel would melt in the twin towers collisions?

Na, he defo believes the Muslims were trying to take over. Honestly, I don't know what happened to him. Something in the water over there?

Being fairly well acquainted with academia, I can only say the braniacs are no less moronic than anyone else. However their scope for epic moronity is far in excess of the more garden variety dope.

It`s because they are blessed with the ability to think more and deeper, than mere mortals.

However, this just means that when they go down the rabbit hole, they also go deeper down it, than your common or garden moron does.

@Foreversticksgerbilsuphisanus92 is the perfect example of a common or garden moron

Why do I have the picture of him as a garden gnome stuck in my head now?

The maddest part is that I still have absolutely no doubt in my mind that he's extremely good at making those life and death decisions.

The green light to the water companies to deliver the coup de grace to households already in the queue for the guillotine.

It's a shame that I'm not gonna support them by drinking that pish. They can have my moral support while I sip Guinness
