I feel like the people I interact with irl don't even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.

Welcome welcome! I doubt you're bringing the collective IQ down, just reshaping it. Can't judge a fish by how it climbs a tree, so I appreciate we have other perspectives here.

    Most areas where I excell are largely useless to the general public, but if ever you're in need of a you-tailored list of movie recommendations, hit me up. I have a pretty good track record of recommending movies to people.

    Ooo, can I take you up on that here? I am picky sometimes but when I find something I love I tend to really love it.

    Sure! If you tell me a little bit about your tastes and interests I'll probably be able to throw something at you that you may or may not have seen before, but probably do like!

    What are some of your favourite movies, games, books etc? What are some of your hobbies and interests? What subject(s) lights a flame in you and makes you passionate? Could be anything from entertainment, to career to lifestyle etc. I don't need much more than the broad strokes and only share what you're comfortable with, of course. Then I'll look through my letterboxd and see what I can find. Haven't watched every movie ever - far from it, but have watched quite a lot of films and know random shit about many films I have never seen as well. Some genres I'm more well versed in than others, but can probably still point you in some kind of direction that will work for you. 😊

    Right on, sounds like fun! I'll PM you instead of putting it all on here. :)

    Thank you for your list! I haven't forgotten you, my friend! I have started compiling a list of films, but will probably not send it before the weekend when I have the mental capacity to sort through it without being distracted by work week stuff, lol.

    I really hope I have something in my arsenal that you haven't seen and that will make you excited to check out xD
