when did you realize that acting stupid and baiting were better ways to get people to answer your questions than just directly stating them, i.e. you need to get the posters on lit emotionally invested in your question for a quality response.

Playing stupid is useful in real life, as well. Or any communication with other people, really. It's amazing the extraneous things people will tell you that end up enlightening you on things you hadn't thought about before.

He doesn't mean act like a retard, retard. Playing dumb with stupid people is usually a better strategy though, and you can easily earn their trust by letting them think that they are helping you and etc. With an actual smart person you just need to ask them questions when you need something clarified.

Yeah, acting stupid is pretty useful when need be, idk, I consider myself retarded but everyone calls me smart as hell, I still will intentionally act stupider than I actually am (knowledgewise) to gain a more interesting or appealing result though, usually nothing too important, usually just social cues to let off that the person I'm talking o has been a big help or something or other. Basically, act stupid, be humble.

If you weren't a shut in autist, you'd know that people see through this shit very easily, even the stupid ones. It's intuition.

All you have to do is respond to a post but address a point that was made by a different poster without even reading the post to which you are responding. USING CAPS IS SUPER EFFECTIVE ON A LOT OF POSTERS.
