Interesting how you keep twisting my words to make me say things I didn’t say. What part of the word “necessarily” do you not understand? I’ve got bigger problems in my life right now. Go be a dick to someone who’s got time for your nonsense.

Large brain does not necessarily equal more intelligence.

You said that trying to refute a clear joke. You jumped in, on your own, trying to say I'm wrong about a joke and now you're accusing me of being a dick.

If you have bigger problems in life than this at the moment, you should probably be dealing with those. To make things easier, I'll add you to my block list so I can't see or reply to anything else from you.

Ah, I see. Schroedinger’s Asshole. When I call you out on being a dick you go “It’s just a joke, bro”. Have a nice life.
