This article certainly has no obvious bias. Not at all.

Come on man, it's an opinion piece.

Then post the news it's based on, instead of an article some random schmuck bled his thoughts all over.

YOU ARE SO ANGRY ALL THE TIME I DON'T GET IT HOLY SHIT.

I know. It's something I acknowledge. I don't have patience.

Dude. That is my roommate.

Don't be my roommate.

Fiercely intelligent, no social skills.

You're gonna find it very difficult to converse or relate to people if you can't throw up some social constraints, or not barge in with "THIS IS SO STUPID" every time someone says something you don't agree with.

Sure, you might be right about what you're talking about. But which battles you pick, and how you go about winning them will get you a lot farther than "being right" all the time.

Nobody wants to talk to my roommate because of this exact reason.

You're probably right.

    A wise man can entertain an idea without accepting it.

I don't claim to be wise. And I mean that in a non-angsty way.
