This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To be fair I never mentioned IQ. I was just trying to make a joke. You can take it up with the original greenposter.
Oh yeah I agree with you. I'm building on your point and questioning OOP's use of IQ!
Ah my bad! You can tell I didn't earn my Mensa bumper sticker ;)

Fortunately it doesn't happen to me, I'm a CS expert but also a sociology expert so I know how to distinguish it
I admit I forgot I commented in greentext for a moment there haha
I don't think you can master high level math with just wisdom
It's late for me, so maybe I'm not getting your joke. I was implying that intelligence was used for the math degree and lack of wisdom in buying scratchers. I was also trying to reference an oft quoted DnD Stat meme;
