There are things I avoid doing specifically so I don't stroke myself out. Sometimes you can FEEL your blood pressure spike.....

They say "You can't fix stupid."

I say give me a large and heavy blunt object, and sufficient room for a proper swing, and I'm a farking Anti-Stupid Master Mechanic.

But you definitely can't fix stupid with your second internet post on that topic. You might as well wave a wand and try spells from Harry Potter.

Heh. The way I see it, stupid is like being a machine that's broken and non-functional, but still on, trying to run but making a mess. You can't really fix it, you can only turn it off.

Unfortunately we've been strongly conditioned not to turn the broken 'bots off. It's likely best that way, but frustrating sometimes.

Nope, but it's always nice for the non-stupid to exchange information.

I have to do that all the time. Then again, I'll lose my job if I don't.
