   There's a professor at the University of Spectral whose name is Robert Smith but added a question mark to his name so people wouldn't confuse him with the lead singer of the cure. It's also a very common name but it's a really fucking weird thing to do for a very specific reason.
   
   This is his website and it's ridiculous
   
   https://mysite.science.uottawa.ca/rsmith43/
   
   He writes about mathematical modeling for diseases which is kinda interesting (and how I learned of him) but a lot of the articles on his website are insane. He's also kind of a gaming feminist or something and probably has people locked in his basement
   
   Funny this robert smith doesn't feel the need to add a quotation mark
   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Smith_(investor)
   
   I hope he finds this thread because I feel he's the type of person who might post on a totse type site on occasion (but probably not this one)

   I put an australian insult in the title to trigger you but I don't regard you as one.
   
   He sells his papers for 50 fucking dollars. He must have tenure because this is retarded
   
   here he is being interviewed by MSNBC about zombies

   He kinda looks like the guy from "the room" Tommy oiseau

   kek, the only thing that really triggered me was this:
   
   

   Yes, the question mark is actually part of my name. This seems to have made a lot of bureaucrats very upset. However, interesting people really like it. So you can decide which side of the line you fall, based on your reaction to it…

   
   "if you don't appreciate me turning my name into a shitpost you must be a dumb bureaucrat"
   
   speaking of australians that's pretty much the same reason I hate jim jeffries, constantly calling people idiots for not agreeing with him (ie. gun control, religion etc.) without bothering to argue the point. just starting from the position that whatever he thinks is inviolable truth and going nowhere

   Yeah, I've watched some of Jim Jeffries show before and found him extremely inarticulate and poorly thought out. His arguments aren't clever or new in any way and he's really unfunny. He survives off pity laughs and appealing to the lowest common liberal denominator. Trever Noah is infinity more clever, sincere and likable.
   
   Jeffries is so Australian with his pigheaded ego. I really can't think of a late night host I like less. Even Jimmy Fallon and Kimmel are more insightful and creative and less arrogant and hacky.

   if a 3 year old disagrees with you would you bother to argue the point.
