Heh, when I was in retail I just stopped talking after the first retarded statement. Correcting your customers isn't really good business even when they're fucking stupid.
The guy probably got all his gaming news from MetalJesus
The amount of people that get in my car and say shit that is just flat out wrong is ridiculous. Not just stuff I don't agree with (which is plenty) but things that are just not facts. Sure they could learn with 30-45 seconds of asking google, but why would they do that?
I just let people be wrong, I don't care anymore. Then they pay me and I never see them again. So it goes.
It still impresses how stupid other adults are.
I don't remember adults being this stupid as a kid. Well, other than ultra conservative religious voters.
People tend to speak really anecdotally. This often results in really odd beliefs and news being imparted as undisputed truth when it was a fleeting experience in the individual's life. It's one of the most bizarre things about humanity, once you notice that most people speak from personal experience ONLY, rather than taking truthful viewpoints into active consideration. It's really annoying and weird and once I notice someone doing it I usually kind of extract myself from the situation if possible. Obviously everyone relates experiences to themselves in order to make meaning of new encounters, but when someone does it just to interject their presence into an unfamiliar surrounding......I don't know. it's so weird. It's so weird!

For me it depends on what they say and how they react to discussion.
Like if someone says cheese pizza is the best, I'm going to assume that is opinion. If I counter and they double down like it is a fact, then I assume they're a dumb ass/ nut.
Apparently not everyone is like that. Every now and then I meet people that can't infer. They need opinions and fact each specifically prefaced.
I sometimes have trouble with that sort as I I can lean heavily on inference in my communication. If I say Krispy kteam donuts are the best, I expected you to know that is an opinion because taste in food isn't objective.
I guess where I was going with that is that experience is OK when talking about subjective unimportant things. Not so much for important or objective things.
