How are you dumb?

I've been crossing borders since I was 2 weeks old.

Over the years, I've developed a special face for getting through security checks.

The first time my wife saw this, she was shocked and disgusted.

It's my retard face.

Outside of school-like environments, it's beneficial to appear kinda stupid. However, we're all trained to appear intelligent.

Collective resentment has consequences, and if you appear much smarter than someone (outside of truthseeking subcultures), you will often incur collective punishment as a defector.

This is because of the Evil Eye.
