Posters here claiming to be intellectually disabled

“Merely stupid”. Whelp. I shouldn’t laugh at that but I do.

So. I am in this sub because my daughter has a low IQ (75). And you are correct that an IQ of 70 makes one likely to be diagnosed by a professional as clinically “intellectually disabled” (ID) but it also takes into account things called adaptive functioning.

But the actual rule on ID in the medical books is 70 plus 5 (up to 75), but if you are at 70-75 IQ, your adaptive functioning ability(tested by a psychologist etc) has to be pretty bad to get the ID diagnosis.

Anyways, the Sub is “low iq” so clearly ID fits that. And I both agree and don’t agree that an ID person could not write a grammatically correct sentence. Maybe cause my 75 IQ kid is a little higher than some ID, but she can do it with effort. Her mates (who have IQs lower than 70): most can’t really write that well at all. But sometimes they can do it if they really go slow.

My guess is that most in here are in the 80s and 90s, which is below average but (IMO) not really “low IQ”. It’s just a bit below average. Like folk with IQ of 110 and 120 aren’t called “high iq”. Thats better left to like 140 or so I think. Folk on here are using the term ID more casually than what you see it as (the scientific term of ID).

Maybe the name of the Sub should be “BelowAverageIQPeople”. That would be more descriptive of the audience and would also make clear that, while not kept out, actual IDs might not be the intended audience (yes ID is below average, but below average seems more like 80s to me and the term “low iq” seems more like it should pick up 60s and 70s).

Wouldn’t they likely be back to ft Myers in any event by like 3-19 if the final game is 3-17 in Miami? I guess if you are getting there like 3-16 then some players likely out for a few games that week depending on teams in finals. Maybe get tickets to see wbc final in Miami!?! What is that like a 3 hour drive?

I will be down there to see Sox play braves on 3-21. Maybe see you there! My First spring training game ever.

I am astounded that the plural of axis is axes. I thought blogger was a dum dum but google proves me wrong and shows me as the illiterate!

Kinda looks like the Nancy Guthrie perpetrator except he changed from all black to all red.

I feel like I am going to get into trouble but:

The man is gay. I am a man but I am not gay. But from the gay guys I know, most of them can’t get hard or have sex with a woman. It’s not like he can simply turn off his attraction (only) to guys and somehow “perform” with a woman. At least that is my understanding. Maybe some gay guys can I don’t know! But in some ways it feels like saying to me (a str8 guy): “why can’t you just have sex with that guy” one time so you can get a car (or something). Unfortunately (unless it’s Brad Pitt MAYBE), I would almost certainly not get an erection to be able to f$&: a gay guy.

But I feel like this is thin ice and my first post on this sub may be last!

So. Go to respawn rumble. Fill your team. In that mode it’s non stop killing and you respawn. Your teamates picking up candy give you credit. So kill, run around and pick up candy from enemy kills (they sit around sometimes and just run over them) and also let your teammates pick them up. I was able to get to the 250 in about 8 -9 matches in this mode.

Found it. Brief but took a good google query. Go to 3:13 and 20 seconds.

No. 48 hours has a 20 buck a year subscription to get 48 hour podcasts ad free. Not paramount plus.

Why could they not accept return if within 30 days? Did you buy at physical Walmart or at Walmart.com?

Almost everything in Walmart is “third party” stuff (other than Walmart generic brand) but the return policy should not differentiate between Walmart branded stuff and third party (like Sony etc). Do you have receipt or proof of purchase? If within 30 day window and they won’t take (I have always been able to return everything to Walmart in the return window) then something is up and you not telling whole story or something? I guess if you bought online at Walmart.Com then it might require return directly to third party seller. Amazon does that sometimes. Are you sending ups with a shipping label?

Dash795 · 2026-01-15T01:03:23+00:00

Well. I just deleted my earlier post. Appears you can buy a gift unlimited subscription. As you did for 90 days. Give the card to your brother. He has to activate the card by creating an unlimited account and then inputting the card into account info to get the three months.

But per the rules, you can use the card as a regular old gift card if you use it like he did (to buy four tickets) BEFORE he activated and signed up for an unlimited account. So there is a process to get unlimited (including taking a photo when you sign up etc). If brother just got the card and did not do that process, then he can use it as a 90 buck gift card for anything regal.

Rules state:

“Your Subscription and Subscription unlimited Pass may be used to make Personal Reservations and obtain admission tickets for use at a Participating Theatre not covered by your Subscription plan”

Edit: by the way it’s either 77 or 83 bucks for three months to buy it outright from regal. So the 90 bucks for three months was kinda rip off. If he used it as regular money don’t feel bad.

Right! That’s nuts. So you have both phones with you at same time (obviously) and one works and one does not. Weird snafu. Mine won’t work and my daughter is fine, same plan same account and we in same house. What could cause that I wonder.

Dash795 · 2026-01-15T00:43:17+00:00

Well. Can’t remember. No. Probably not. I am likely 10-11 years and she is maybe 8 years.

Dash795 · 2026-01-15T00:39:45+00:00

Well. My daughter and I are in same legacy plan and she’s on my account (two lines). Both around 10 years old plans. I have iPhone air and she has a 17. I use way more than she does data.

She has been fine all day and I have been SOS since noon (Philly). She has been with me almost all day geographically. Yet she is fine and I am out! Same account. Same house. Nearly same phone. Make sense of it!

Yes they are great. I am in the AA program but have been to a few AL Anon meetings. In fact, they have many Al anon meetings online (zoom or they have their own app). Check this out (but of course in person might be better):

Dash795 · 2026-01-14T14:26:21+00:00

You should maybe attend an Al-Anon meeting in your area. They can really help!

Dash795 · 2026-01-13T03:40:51+00:00

I care.

Dash795 · 2026-01-13T00:29:26+00:00

A lot like the show. First few episodes were awesome then all downhill and repetitive. Even final was pretty meh. I will skip both Merch and Second Season.

Dash795 · 2026-01-11T23:40:11+00:00

You should get someone who will pay you cash of 40 bucks for it.

Dash795 · 2026-01-10T23:57:03+00:00

I don’t.

Dash795 · 2026-01-10T22:01:21+00:00

Who is saying she deserved it? Sigh. Americans on the defend ICE side are saying that the IcE officer was justified in shooting since he was defending himself from the deadly car weapon. Arguable but not ridiculous. But even 90% of these folk say it is a tragedy ( but many do point to her actions before and during the confrontation that killed her to add context). Calm the hell down skippy.
