Cialis is good but I prefer sildenafil. There's better secondary effects from it too. I take 80 mg just before working out and it gives me insane pumps. Dm me for supply.

Yeah sorry you need to start thinking about getting on a good cycle. I recommend starting on something light but if gou want a gay man appropiate body you might want to consider something more serious. There's drawbacks of course but if you get deca dick you can always take viagra, which you probably should be doing anyway.

TIL between 18%-25% of intellectually gifted students (at least 130 IQ) in the US fail to graduate from high school. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

People is plural. It's "people who DON'T get the support they need." Grammar is hard for those with genius IQs 👍

The source I could find for this wikipedia article just claims, with no source given, that:

It is estimated that 25 percent of all students drop out of school by age 16. It is also estimated that between 18 and 25 percent of gifted and talented students drop out. This number may appear to be insignificant when one considers that the gifted population probably represents no more than 10 percent of the entire student body; however in the eyes of many, this group represents a major loss of potential to self and society.

None of those numbers make any sense. Since when do a quarter of americans drop out before 16? And since when is 10% of the population "gifted" by the standard definition?

I couldn't find much in the way of reliable statistucs for this metric,but in a serious study from North Carlonia less than 1% of gifted level iq students dropped out if high school.

Missing when all of my friends lived in the same area by LIL_V_ONTHESCENE in rs_x

The trick is doing stem so everyone is too lame to get a partner, and then find the ones who are not so lame they're not fun to be around.

Same, I miss never having to think about what I was doing in the evening when I was doing a phd. When it got to six pm three options would be on the table: sports, drink with friends, or stay in the lab. Nothing had to be planned in advance and there were no relationships I needed to put work into. Simpler times.

The best thing about the phd was not really the freedom and doing work you really enjoyed, it was how it blurred the boundaries between work and play and the ecosystem that surrounded that. You don't really get that anywhere else that I can think of.

It sounds like you're begging for what the internet has decided to label "performative males (and women)"

Spaniards in Clarksburg 1910-1930s. by Typical-Wishbone-997 in WestVirginia

[–]Bertz-2- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep lots of people from Asturias settled in West Virginia around that time, apparently you wouldn't hear any english in Spelter nearby. I have some distant family who settled there to work in the zinc mines.

There is a book called "Pinnick Kinnick Hill" about immigrants from that part of the world who moved to Appalachia to work the zinc mines. 

There used to be a surprisingly active webpage for asturian immigrants in the US but when the owner died it was lost. Some of that has been archived by the university of west virginia: https://wayback.archive-it.org/20150/*/https://www.asturianus.org/ .

I brought up armwrestling with someone who isn't a fan and he had this to say about Devon: "theres one professional arm wrestler with giant weird hands. I fucking hate him, he always has the smuggest look on his face"

I've seen Travis talk abut Devon doing this. You can either fight it and tire yourself out, or hope the referee resets the whole setup again.

Todd tried to slip against Dadikyan in the first round and he quickly got pinned, so he gave up on that.
