    Wow, so yeah, you obviously enrage people when you say something ridiculously dumb and behave like you know it better. That’s just called being an asshole.

    OK but you have to recognize that this is being an asshole in a different way. Don’t do either of these things preferably

    I’m a female-passing (afab agender but that’s beside the point) physicist. I do this when men (honest to god it’s always been men so far) explain something to me that i obviously know better. Like for example they’ll know I’m a physicist but explain to me that water boils at a lower temperature in the mountains or something like that. I’ll just play a game to see just how dumb i can get them to think i am. Pretty dumb is usually the answer.

    I tend to adopt the view that my words aren’t just distracting sounds that come from a hole in my face and try to extend the trust and courtesy to others.

    I don’t think it’s generally very nice to say things we don’t mean to wind people up. you can just say “I think you’re being a wanker, pull your head in” instead of whatever this is.

    They reenact the “crying woman yelling at stubborn cat” meme perfectly.

    So glad I grew out of being a know-it-all. Now I just do it when I want to be an asshole.

    Generally I have found people are usually not capable of moving on if someone challenges their ego or beliefs, even when it is apparent that the person is just being contrarian or otherwise doing it to get under their skin.

    Did you know that the Octopus (pluralized as octi) is the only species of amphibian to change its gender over the course of its lifepan?

    I have fixed this by becoming arrogant in the reverse way, unless I am the dumbest person in the room, I want to leave.
