Astigmatism is apparently the lens of the eye being curved differently in one direction, according to a quick google.

Today I learned Minsc was a Mul. Dark Sun <3

I found a 4chan thread on the topic of the lgbt community whilst toodling around the interwebs and I give it a read out of curiosity.

My faith in humanity has taken a noticable dip after reading that. Even after everything that life has thrown at me, I am still astounded by how awful humans can be.

Considering the source, I wouldn't let it get you down too much. Half of that website is people being deliberately outrageous to get reactions out of people.

Half of them aren't, though.

Guys, remember that half of humanity is literally worse than average.

Then remember that we usually dont settle for 'average' when we seek role models.

[LordBaal]

Meh

something something I don't want to be pedantic but something something mean blah blah median blah blah

[pisskop]

actually, I immediately thought
"oh crap, what if there really are super humans who skew the line"

[Frumple]

Honestly, my immediate reaction to your immediate thought was, "Wait a tick, wouldn't vegetative state folks skew things even harder?"

[Egan_BW]

Also "better" and "worse" are qualitative descriptors and not numbers and any math you try to do using them will be fascinating in the way it exposes the biases of the person doing the statistics but otherwise bunk.

It's easy to say that there are stupid people out there, but don't we all get a turn at the idiot ball? People have blind spots, have bad days. If you see someone doing something dumb and that's all you know about them, that doesn't mean that's everything that person is.

[hector13]

It also depends how you quantify dumb. I know plenty of smart people who aren’t blessed with common sense.

[bloop_bleep]

Also it depends on whether you realize that you can't quantify intelligence and that a human mind can't be reduced to a single number with any meaning.

[MrRoboto75]

I seem to get disappointed more than 50% of the time.

What the fuck did you expect from 4chan? That site, with the exception of /tg/, is a 50/50 split between morons and people pretending to be morons.
