    Mensa is for people smart enough to qualify, but dumb enough to get scammed.

      Get scammed? I pay the yearly couple of euros mainly for access to the discussion groups. Sometimes I scroll and notice the dumbest shit and every single time it’s a post from a non-mensa group dirtying up my feed. There really is a noticable difference.

          This place is similar due to how niche is it. You won’t see your dumb neighbour or loud relative here. The discussion topics are mostly the same as anywhere else, it’s just that you won’t get the type of comments that makes you sigh and scroll faster.

            Well, yeah. But with a pleasant, welcoming tone. And very seldom about programming.
