Props to the author for making excuses to leave early. I’m more likely to drink in excess and resort to indifference, abandon all intellectual drive, and feel like a normal human for a night.
Maybe i have a problem…
- pddpro 5y agoReminds me of the House MD episode where the guy takes drugs to make himself "stupid" enough to live with his wife.
- elhudy 5y agoDr house likely tops my intellectual prowess but i appreciate the analogy.
- kortilla 5y agoWell it wasn’t dr house doing it, it was one of his patients. Some super smart guy just constantly drunk all of the time to handle living with his normal wife.
- hungryforcodes 5y agoI think this happens in alot of marriages after a while. /s
- Loeffelmann 5y ago> abandon all intellectual drive, and feel like a normal human for a night. Man. This sounds like 14 year old me thinking I'm just so beyond everybodys mental capacity and that's why I am lonely.
- elhudy 5y agoI didn’t mean to come off as pretentious. In fact on HN i often feel inadequate! I’m not lonely at all - I’ve built a huge support community over the years and have friends all over the world. I don’t think I’m beyond everyone’s mental capacity, but I’m certainly beyond most people in terms of curiosity and fascination for subjects beyond general conversation. I’ve gotten better at driving conversation to deeper places, and surrounding myself with people who enjoy doing the same. But it’s often easier at social events to drink and stop caring.
