    Ooh yeah, that’s one of the only reasons I ever lose too. Too smart, too strong, too good of a plan. Happens a lot

    See that’s the problem with us liberals. We’re just TOO SMART. We’re too well educated, too well read. That’s why the working class doesn’t feel connected to us when we tell them that they need to starve and be homeless and that it’s for their own good. They just can’t understand our PhD level knowledge about the world and how making bad things happen to them is good actually.

    It’s not our fault we’re too smart it’s everyone else’s fault for being too dumb to understand our grand vision of "bad things are good actually '!

    “Vote for me because I’m a woman”

    See, and here I thought it was because she didn’t grasp the entire thing about the Electoral College

    Smart people are always forgetting about poorly thought out concepts from the founding of their country

    I like your stories

    I love your gun

    Shooting out cop tires sounds like loads and loads of fun

    But in my room

    Wish you were dead

    You bawl like the baby in Eraserhead

    I’m too drunk to fuck

    In the fighting game community you will often find yourself up against an opponent who is much much less skilled at the game then you are. You go for frame perfect setups and they just mash a wildly unsafe DP on a wing and a prayer and it hits, cause nobody who has any clue what they’re doing would actually go for that there…but by god they did it and it hit. In these situations you have to accept the opponent isn’t going to play the smart game you want to play, and instead you must adapt to simply punishing their wildly unsafe risks that they will never ever be conditioned to stop doing.

    Here’s an infamous example.

    Do you know what we call it when a more skilled and nuanced player is defeated by an opponent like this?

    WE CALL IT FUCKING LOSING.

    I swear only fucking libs can romanticize being a fucking loser this much. The whole concept of “they’re actually playing 3 dimensional chess” is bullshit cope as we all well know but someone needs to pull these idiots aside and tell them “You aren’t playing 3 dimensional chess egghead. You’re playing a goddamn contact sport.”
