No, I go there to buy their shit. I expect them to put me through the till and bag my shit. Otherwise, give me a name tag and pay me.

I don't know but it seems to be a common thing in my life. I just cut them off as soon as possible. People can be incredibly stupid when it comes to gauging the other person's interest.

This actually happens to me quite a lot. When I was at university a bunch of the people in our group graduated and the ones who were left were pretty much a bunch of a-holes I never talked to before. I'm positive they picked up on the fact that I didn't like them, but a lot of the time they didn't seem to take the hint. I think they thought they were doing me a favor by keeping me company, but I would've preferred being alone.

That being said, I never really got along with them the way you describe getting along with this guy. I think you're either going to have to examine what it is that annoys you about him and find some way to deal with it, or just be straight up with him that you're not interested in going for drinks. That or find a way to stop being annoyed about being asked to go for drinks, it doesn't hurt to say no (I'm assuming it's a platonic invitation, BTW).

In this world filled with lots of information that can be overwhelming, who gets to decide what is true or not in politics? Who gets to decide whether a person has knowledge or not? Even if you require post-graduate degrees for a position in politics, there are still stupid people with post-graduate degrees. Only scientists are allowed to run for politics? That is not their forte and they wouldn't want to delve into politics. That is why it doesn't matter if you're poor or uneducated, you have the right to vote after you reach a certain age. It becomes authoritarian/oligarchic once you restrict the voting process to select few. There are only 2 viable options aside from democracy, which are authoritarian and anarchy. I wouldn't say these 2 are better. Work with what's already in place. It can be improved. Educate the masses. Lift up the lives of the poor people. These are what really solve the problem not changing democracy.

lol, is he praising the "dumbest thing" he's ever done?

well, "everyone" is a twerp.

Dumb and Dumber is arguably one of the best comedies of the 20th century. I think the more elitist viewer can't get over the slapstick and toilet humor, but the writing in that movie is pretty damn great, actually, and if they would give it a chance they would see why it is such a highly regarded movie.

I'm not sure what circles you run in, but I don't know a single person (outside of the occasional prude) that did not enjoy that movie. Hell, my mom and I quoted it the other day.

I mean, I laughed my ass off just from these five or so seconds:

And that's not it, there's "it's OK, I'm a limo driver" and "Sammy? Swanson? Slappy?...maybe it's on the briefcase....Oh there it is. SAMSONITE! I was WAY off".

There are literally hundreds of these small moments, in addition to the overall ludicrous comedy of the whole movie, and you are just constantly bombarded with these awesome moments.

It is arguably the most high-volume, efficient comedy ever made as far as laughs.
