"Stop dismissing opinions you don’t like"

Just after what amounts to "I won't read that"

I laughed.

I'm a bit confused, it's a beta, right?

Why are people annoyed that the game runs like an unfinished game?

It is!

I am not a car person.

It is unconcievable to me that you can identify the brand of a car from such a partial picture.

As weird as it seems, it may partly be external pressure.

My precise height is 5'11 and a half.

Each times it comes up in conversation, I tend to say I am 5'11, but people close to me insist I am 6'.

I feel like nobody would insist if I was 5'10 and a half that I am 5'11, it’s just the magic 6' number that make people weird.

Heh, now the parralel in my mind is developpers that put in microtransactions or force a subsribtion model with no option to buy.

By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can't be good?

Rough translation, but here it was "Ordinary Nintendo", as opposed to the Super Nintendo

I do not.

But a quick search online says that Stephen Hawking had an IQ of 160.

This feels a lot like pretty people saying that looks don't matter all of a sudden.

I wonder if there's a relation with people saying that what they have is not valuable.

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I'd wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don't need even have a turbo in their car and many don't even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they're probably skilled in something else!

I'm saying that as an IT person that's aware that I'm making money mostly because people don't bother to learn all this, so in the end I don't mind that much.
