The urge you’re feeling to hit this man is probably an evolutionary adaptation. Pain, for example, makes us avoid injurious things. Feeling disgust makes us choose healthy over poisonous foods. Hitting smug gits like this betters the human species overall.

Poop deck: Useful Math
Something happened to Math in high-school. For a time it was challenging but achievable. For a time. Then came Grade 9 and it transformed into a slavering, invincible nightmare.
Did you know the UN decreed that having students calculate parabolas is a crime against human dignity? That’s probably true.
But we have to be fair: a study showed that 63% of all students agreed that Math 9 was “highly relevant” to their lives. Sure, that was in 1915 and they were all underage privates serving in WWI artillery squads, but it did help them calculate shell trajectory. Now that’s building relevant life skills!
