I’ve been seeing so much AI generated content of late, any real life human doing real life work is a blessing.

Me, fucking around: Absolutely no downside

There are some notable side effects, but do not discount the power of cocaine.

70⁰F, because IQ is the obsession of American eugenists.

The world is built by normal people and ruined by “great” ones.

they don’t even have “feminism”

I mean, they do have feminism. The trick to understanding feminism is to recognize how it benefits both genders when the walls of segregation and elitism come down.

Once you’re able to treat each other as peers, rather than income streams or commodities, you develop the kind of common sense they enjoy.

Right. 70 is, though.

“I’m tired but also easily overstimulated” is practically the diagnosis code for autism in young people.

Also a great pipeline to misuse of depressants. One is fully Lego-pilled after coming out of rehab, because it gives him an outlet for all that restless energy the drinking had flattened out.

Really depends on your circumstances. There’s nothing radical about changing careers or finding a nicer place to live when you’ve hit a glass ceiling. Humans have been doing that for tens of thousands of years. It’s why we’re not all living in the Fertile Crescent.

I actually have no idea what my IQ is.

I mean, safe bet that it’s within 10 points of 100. Guessing 96 is as valid as any other number in that range.

Fucker better wipe my tree. >:(

It’s free fertilizer! You should be thanking him!

It’s funny, because you literally never see people mention that they’re within a standard deviation of the average, even though that’s supposed to be 70% of the people who take the test.

Everyone’s either bragging about their 140 IQ or accusing someone else of being “room temperature”. Nobody seems to understand 96 is normal human intelligence and normal humans are - by and large - smart enough to get the job done.

The first time you get tricked by this can be written off as experimentation. It’s the folks that are suckered in over and over again, and take some kind of personal pride in receiving a little “You’re Such A Smart Little Guy” certificate from a random website that have you looking sideways.

More, spending a month abroad looking for a better place and striking gold.

The apps reflect the underlying culture and social order. They weren’t the only reason. Go spend a week in the south of France after spending half your life in Galveston and you’ll understand.

Socialism is when things get bad and Communism is when they are at their worst.

Four Legs Good, Two Legs… uh… wait a minute, they’re changing it.

The Algorithm used to match people isn’t designed to encourage healthy and normal conversations. It’s designed to encourage people to spend more time on the apps (and, eventually, more money).

Had a couple of lady friends who went on vacation to Europe - Spain and France, specifically - and had totally different experiences on the dating apps. Men were open and friendly, knew how to hold up a conversation (in non-native languages!), showed politeness, responded quickly, made first contact easy and low-anxiety, looked good, smelled nice, knew how to dance, charmed the panties right off them both, and then kept in contact afterwards. Like, even after they flew back home, these guys were still saying “Hey, what’s up, here’s something cool happening in my neighborhood can’t wait to see you again”.

Just a radically different experience than the American dating scene. One friend straight up swore off American men entirely. She’s booking a flight back to France for a three month go - working remote, learning the language, the whole thing - because of how blown away by the healthier and happier social conditions over there.

Getting maybe 20% of the features of Notepad++ standard was nice out of the box. For a fleeting moment, I almost kept it as my default.
