I never knew how physically exhausting a dumb person could be until I began hanging around my wife’s extended family. I’ve been in over a dozen situations where one of them says something so profoundly dumb that I get instant mental-fatigue just from imagining all the information I’d have to recite to explain how/why they’re wrong. But I don’t; I just nod and get the conversation over as quickly as possible. I learned that lesson way early on.
I remember a friend of mine was doing his book report in eighth grade on Animal Farm and I thought that was the funniest shit ever because I thought it was a kids book. In my defense I was 13. Then he gave his book report and I was like “Oh. Oh wow. Yeah, this is definitely not a kids book.”

Someone gave the movie to me when I was a kid. They figured cartoon = for kids. Horrifying watch.
