[Solved] I'm stupid?

  

-11
Topic starter

I have come to the point that I must call you on your arrogance. Calling people STUPID which infers that I am stupid. And I'm sick of hearing this from a mediocre mind, at best. I've earned a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. And worked for Boeing for 17yrs and then NASA for 11 yr's. I worked on the Shuttle as well as the ISS.  I AM NOT STUPID! Believe me when I tell you I'm much much smarter than you. You deserve this condemnation for your constant insults to people which makes you an <profanity removed>. And you never for a moment gave me the impression that you were a towering intellect. You may know something about cars. But you insult me and many other people by telling them constantly that THEIR stupid.

Your lucky day:  Scotty addresses you.

For you to take the term "stupid" personally is an indication of some deep seated inferiority problem.  We really don't care whether you have  a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a PhD In Tibetan Yodeling.  If you want to vent your pent up frustrations, try a social media site where somebody cares.  Or call Dr. Phil.  I'm sure he can help you.      


Or this -


Truth!

Just so you know, I hate drama.

This is a place to discuss cars and ask for help. If you try to throw another hissy fit here, you will be banned permanently.

 

You may know how to launch a rocket to the moon, but you are completely socially inept. Next time you have an issue you might want to be a little more tactful, and directly address the point you disagree with, instead of launching a childish tirade.

Sheesh. 🙄  


Nicely put Joe.


@sean90 for once, you chose the correct comment box!


I must be STUPID lol haha 😛


Sometimes I'm stupid on a daily basis. It happens and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It means I'm learning.


Excellent, Joe!


@mountainmanjoe ‘Sometimes I'm stupid on a daily basis’ you got to pump up those numbers, those are rookie numbers! I’m stupid a few times AN HOUR!


@inthrustwetrust that's when you know it's time to cut your losses, pack up, and go home. 😆

I will definitely come to you for advice on fixing my space shuttle. I think I will continue to listen to Scotty when it comes to cars.

Wow, very thin skinned. I don't think that word means what you think it means: infer. (Try imply) I don't feel insulted by Scotty, but then I don't have a "Masters" degree.(Should be "Master's - see https://www.grammarly.com/blog/masters-degree/). Also, it's "they're", not "their". Regarding Sotty's use of the word "stupid", he's only calling stupid, people who do stupid things. So if you are inferring (correctly used) that Scotty is calling you stupid, I am inferring that he hit close to home, because you have done or do one or more if the things he calls stupid. But in reality, his video titles are just clickbait (see Versatium:) -

https://youtu.be/S2xHZPH5Sng.

If in the video he uses that word, he's just doubling down. Now, I have probably made any number of mistakes in this post, but I am just a non-Master's normal person. However, my MA brother sees in your post a highly arrogant, easily offended person, regardless of your accomplishments. All of these accomplishments do not cancel what appears to be a serious personality defect. Now I could be wrong. Maybe you've been up all night and are grumpy, and your gargantuan intellect overcame your good sense. But what your post indicates, is a hypercritical, high-mindedness. We (my MA brother and myself) for two, enjoy Scotty's videos, and take no offense, as well as who knows how many other millions (billions of views and 4.5 million subscribers). So it appears you are in the minority. I don't think there is a safe space for you. So, you're probably better off avoiding his site/videos.


Your video link doesn’t work.


Well I copied the link, but didn't double check it. How stupid of me.
Here it is again:

No problem.

Well, you’ll be glad to hear that Scotty’s YouTube channel is finally being shut down -

No, Scotty! No!

Here is some wisdom that they obviously didn't teach in engineering school;

"It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid that open it and remove all doubt."  Mark Twain

" Do not keep handing ammunition to the man holding a gun to your head."  Doc

Geez, Louise, those are clickbait titles - get over it.  I’ve seen thousands of his videos now and never once felt he was talking down to us or being arrogant.  If something like this gets under your skin, it’s going to be a tough life for you.


Once you understand the nature of the titles they're kind of fun and you can look forward to what funky title he'll come up with next!

Big talk from someone who doesn't seem to know the difference between "THEIR" and "THEY'RE".

{pear}:exhausted:


Apparently, English is not a requirement for a degree in Engineering.

I mean technically I’m stupid because I bought a ram lol, don’t take it so hard man grow some thick skin

They’re*
Also, Did this guy just say “ I tell you I'm much much smarter than you” Ewwwwwwwwww.
This post, does give me a feeling that Scotty is absolutely right - it really did make me doubt your intellectual abilities.
The fact you’re so offended by someone calling you stupid that you created an account and started spamming this community does tell me you are, probably very ******* stupid.
merci et au revoir mon cher ami.

Ok so somehow I missed this entire thread until now. I honestly thought this was a sarcasm thread and figured it would be good for a laugh...but then I realized it was serious.

I guess I don't understand OP's rage on this. I have plenty of education, including a Master's degree, and I've never felt Scotty was addressing me in any way. All I can think of is he is upset over the clickbait titles which, if they get you that riled up, is a sure sign you should seek some professional help for yourself, and I'm not being antagonizing when I say that. I'm serious. 

When I watched his videos, I would read the titles just for a laugh and then move on. Like if it was, "If you buy this truck, you're stupid" and there was a picture of a Silverado, I would think 'Oh GM is at it again' and then watch the video to see what was going on. But I NEVER took it as him calling me stupid personally.

I guess I don't get this post. I'm sorry, but in my line of work I've been called just about everything you can think of and you can't take any of it personally. If I got this upset over a YouTube video title, I truly believe I would have died from a heart attack years ago.

Probably because I'm dead dog tired. Lol. Last week at work was long hours and not much sleep. Caught up to me this weekend. Lol. {black}:gape:

does anybody care that you have a master's degree in mechanical engineering and smarter than Scotty? no

Cut the crap

So I'm going to report myself. 

I may have violated some etiquette rules.

  1. Be respectful to everyone in the forum
  2.  
  3. No racist or derogatory posts / comments allowed 
  4.  
  5.  
  6. No re-posting of copyrighted materials or other illegal content allowed

Some may consider what I replied as disrespectful and/or derogatory. If so I apologize. 

I posted a couple of links for reference, I hope that did not violate any copyrights.

So rev up your engines!

 Because, in thrust we trust!


Somehow....I think you're ok on this one. I mean, OP did, basically, insult an entire community. And your response was well written. IMO you get a pass. {black}:cool:
