What's the backstory here?

[–] BC3XAu3IjGbZYNQl@lemmy.ml 87 points 11 months ago (3 children)

A few days ago one of his lawyers was using a Republic of Gamers RGB-enabled gaming laptop, and everyone started pointing it out https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/donald-trump-gaming-laptop

So she showed up in court yesterday without a computer, sticking to a pad and paper ( ft.com link https://archive.is/rHUMJ )

Sort of cyberbullied in to not using her cool machine.

It's still irrelevant but you have to be really dumb to agree to represent Trump as a lawyer..'

I mean Rudy is still waiting to get paid for his lawyer fees by trump.

All the lawyer firms this time demanded upfront payments, that's why his super PAC funds are running low: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-campaign-machine-is-bleeding-cash-legal-expenses-2023-09-29/

Go out and find a person of average intelligence. Then weep when you realize that most people are dumber than that.

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that be median? If you found the average person it will still be pretty normal intelligence.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Are you sure it isn't the mode? All mathematical joking aside. The median would likely be much more representative of most people. The average is easily skewed by outliers.

Even if most intelligence measures / tests weren't horribly flawed. Most people cluster closer to the bottom than the upper bound. But every gifted outlier pulls the average higher and higher above most people. Hence the average being above most people.

  • just adding this in for a point of reference. But it is a paraphrasing/reference to a George Carlin skit.

"imagine how stupid the average person is then realize half of all people are stupider than that."

"a cool machine" does not fit Trump's manufactured fantasy of representing "the republican everyman against the elites", you see. His low information electorate doesn't know what a gaming pc is, and wouldn't trust anyone who has one, just because they are dirt dumb and like it that way.
