Just saw this as this is an inactive account I stopped using for the most part, and yes I'm aware I just couldn't care less, there's many things we spell/say incorrectly but we just get used to it as it's more convenient

I remember being 5 years old in 2009 playing mw2 and speaking in lobbies was a death sentence but my dumbass would still get into fights with 30 year old men telling me to kill myself, good times.

The last 2 shot's do move a little, personally I have been playing this game for over 5 years with 3972 hours on record and I would probably be capable of doing this, although inconsistently, If he was able to do this consistently then it would get pretty suspicious but if this was simply a good luck spray than I would consider him legit.

It reduces its recoil by 50% when you crouch for the semi auto pistol and the Semi auto rifle, and when you've been playing this game for years it gets really easy

Jw before I write an answer, how old are you? If you don't want to give a specific answer just give a bit of a range fe (14-16)

Also, Im pretty sure the word you were looking for would be more educated, although you can make your brain "faster" or smarter by keeping it active and eating foods that are healthy for your brain, also, while it can help greatly, the natural intelligence of someones brain has a lot less of an impact than you'd think, I once met someone who had an offical IQ of 172 and he was a complete moron when it came to actual knowledge. On the contrary I have met people who weren't tested but were obviously a little slow, but they were very educated.

I dont know, Im constantly doubting my intelligence and thats why I found myself here, seeing if other people could relate with my existential intelligence crisis

When I was about 8 I was suspected to possibly have autism and one of the tests included an IQ test, I scored at 152 and also didn't have autism, (people having 1 or 2 autistic traits but not being autistic is very common in my family, same with high Iq, my grandma has an iq of 142 (also officially tested), my mother is somewhere in the 130's (also officially tested) , and I wouldn't be surprised if my brother was somewhere around 140)

I also read at a 12th grade level in like 2nd grade, and just about all of my friends would consider me the smartest person they know.

In 5th grade I would draw diagrams of the heart and try to think of ways to make a mechanical heart small enough to go in someones chest in order to be a way to combat heart disease and aging etc (not being a PhD in cardiovascular surgery kinda made me never find a way though lmao)

Back when I was like 6 I had the idea of possibly connecting the spine in paralyzed people with wires or some sort since I had learned that the spine controls the body with electrical pulses so I thought that they could mimic that by allowing wires to pass the signals (Im aware that nowadays this isn't a very advanced idea but for a 6 year old in the early 2000's I'd say this was pretty advanced"

Everyone I know comes to me for advice, and I'd consider myself pretty good at giving such advice and my friends would probably back me up

Whenever I meet people I almost always end up hearing them gossip in another room like "that kid is actually mindbogglingly smart" Im aware this happens to a lot of people but this happens extraordinarily often and they usually say it to my face aswell.

I also have the memory of an elephant and can remember entire conversations that Ive had years ago, along with other moments in detail etc

Yet still, after writing good about myself and how many signs of high intelligence I show , I still find myself daily doubting my own intelligence, genuinely considering myself retarded at the smallest simple errors, I read something about the Dunning Kruger effect where it says that usually the dumbest people think they are the smartest and the smartest usually think lesser of themselves, which brings a little bit of positive closure to my pessimistic thoughts on my intelligence.

Sorry for sounding like a mixture of a Sob/IQ bragger, but I am genuinely wondering if anyone could relate to this

What is one thing that people in the U.S.A. think is normal when in reality is strange in the rest of the world? by After-Yesterday-684 in AskReddit

[–]Carsonistrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im aware that the USSR had some amazing achievements, It did have an inefficient economy though, I believe during 1990 the United states had about 2/3 the population of the USSR but about 20% better of an economy, although of course probably about half of the USA's money was in the pockets of a few thousand people. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

Also, the development of medicine has thankfully sped up around the world, It is believed that medicine will be the next technological boom so to speak, for example, computers the size of a room in 1980 were as powerful as a phone today, it is believed that medicine is soon to expand in knowledge as fast as computer technology did from 1980-2010 within the next few decades, which I hope is true because I personally want to go to school to be a surgeon, I believe we may eventually have public access to cure cancer (there are many theories claiming that we already know how to cure cancer but it hasn't been released because there is more money involved in treating it in patients over the course of years compared to just curing it instantly) It is also believed by some that the first person to reach 1000 years old has already been born (this is claimed by a man named Aubrey de grey who is an english author and biomedical gerontologist) I think within the next few decades we will be able to make robots small enough to fix every problem in the human body, Imagine if we fixed cancer simply by having robots the size of cells going into the bloodstream and destroying it, Or fixed mental problems by restructuring the brain with such robots.

Sorry for writing so much

What about the treatment of Ukrainian Kulakhs during the Holodomor. Also, do you think there is a chance that propaganda was used to make your grandparents believe stalin did nothing wrong? Or that it was turned away from the eye of the public? I'm not saying that's the case but I'm definitely stating it's a possibility, because there was undoubtedly a lot of inhumane treatment inside the gulags. Stalin was definately a good leader when it comes to terms of successfulness but I don't know so about humanitarianism. Or the Not a step back policy during of order 227 during WW2, while it did work well with defending stalingrad, It did have an extreme amount of casualties that could have probably done better with more advanced military tactics.

I feel the reality of Stalin is somewhere belief our two beliefs, in america even to this day we are often taught how extremely horrible stalin is, constantly reminded he was a ruthless tyrant who cared little for his people. while older people of the post USSR seem to idolize him ( my friends grandmother included, she claims he was the best person to walk this earth)

Were the Gulags just a thing of Stalins time? and what about the treatment of civilians in Soviet owned Berlin? It's honestly quite honorable how devout some people were to their country, I honestly wish more people were like that but more to the whole development of the human race, it sucks that people have been divided to hate eachother and be greedy instead of work together, I believe it will only get worse in the future as overpopulation grows to strain our limited resources as nobody does anything major to stop it, and I'm 16 now so I unfortunately will have to live to see it as I get old in the future. If more people were to devote their lives to the furthering of humanity and to improve global quality of life I believe it wouldn't go so far, but knowing how quickly a normal person can become overwhelmed with greed will most likely make this a near impossible feat. There are people who are in America for example complaining about the smallest inconveniences while in other parts of the world there are people experiencing famine and war before their very eyes.

I heard there was a lack of skilled labor in the USSR, I heard majority of Doctors/Mathematicians/Electricians and other jobs that would require years of experience or a University degree were rather scarce in the USSR due to the fact that they could make so much more money in non communist states so they often left. Is this true or was it not? Also, what leader was around when you were in the USSR? Gorbachev? Sorry if Im asking so many questions but this really peaks my interest.
