A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Yes. They were a local judge apparently.
Yes, I met a few in hs, they were always baked out of their minds, and when they weren't, had zero brain processing
Yes. One person in particular comes to mind - very nice guy, but has some obvious learning disabilities. He mispronounces words very often and mistates stuff frequently (a lot of 'hims is', that kind of thing). He doesn't seem to have much of an inner life, though perhaps its more that he doesn't have the facility with language to express himself well. He also doesn't seem to understand a lot of things that people around him talk about.
But he's a kind dude - frankly, that's the important bit imo.
Most of the other folks I've met and considered dumb were seen only for limited duration and in specific contexts. They might indeed be, on the whole, dumb. But I've always felt those small interactions aren't enough evidence of that - after all, I've met objectively brilliant people that, in certain contexts, have done phenomenally dumb things. Heck, we all do (or rather, I sure as fuck have).
Me, every morning, in front of the mirror
Im not judging people by how dumb are they but when they cant do something simple and dont accept that they cant do it thats the time i call them dumb.You should say that you cant do it not make excuses
What makes someone an 'actually dumb' person? Because everyone has a different definition of 'dumb.
An atheist might call religious people 'dumb' for believing in a 'Sky Daddy,' while a pro-vax person and an anti-vax person might accuse each other of being 'dumb' for not subscribing to their beliefs.
