People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.

You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

    I would assume everyone here has heard Jamie Loftus “My Year In Mensa”, but if you havent it is a wild ride. Joining as a joke, then realizing its just a bizarre clique with crazy characters and habits.

    My brief brush with Mensa was at a conference. Three of them were trying to figure out how to use a keycard for the door and asked me for help.

    A key card. Even without knowledge of one (who doesn’t) the basic idea was right there in front of them on the key reader.

        Its more than that. The IQ or “smart” is trivial. What it is all about is superiority like you said plus a place where members express extremist, racist, and misogynistic views with little consequence.

        They are hardly geniuses.
