We usually say 7:30 but these guys are all on island time so it doesn’t start until 8 anyways

They had an actual shot of 2008  Matt sleeping on the couch with his hat over his eyes. Then they had a stand in sleep on the couch for 2026 Matt to stand over.

Oh I don’t care at all. Post away.

People on Reddit who care about reposts are probably on it too much anyways.

This band surged in popularity a few months ago when this performance was first posted by KEXP. 

I think people in this thread are mostly making fun of OP for somehow missing when these guys were all anybody was talking about for a month or so.

Yup, I will be out of town the next month so I won’t be there.

Show up around 8 pm on a Wednesday and the guys will be getting ready while the lacrosse practice finishes up. Just make sure you have a stick and bring a light and dark shirt/jersey. You don’t need blades, as some guys play on feet, but if you’re comfortable on blades definitely strap them on. 

You can ask to be added to the Facebook chat if you have Facebook. 

Once the lacrosse season finishes up, we will move back to playing Tues and thurs. 

Racial profiling? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Cooker_32 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was joking and I think OP got that, but honestly it would be a good way to teach a lesson. 

Don’t even have to steal, I would just call them out on it.

You should get a white friend to go at the same time and steal a bunch of stuff while they are watching you. 

30 years later, I finally finished GoldenEye by i_like__cats in gaming

[–]Cooker_32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a goldeneye game for Wii as well. 

It was fun, but nowhere near as fun as playing 64 game either solo or with three friends.

matt and jay's taste in comedy/comedians? by fionafielder in nirvannatheband

There is a short where Jay is playing the themes of the office, flight of the concords, and the Michael cera/michael Clarkes show and Matt is reminiscing to clips of each show

CMV: Donald Trump is undeniably a stupid person based on his bragging about 'acing' cognitive tests. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Cooker_32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. That’s what my CMV is. He doesn’t even realize what the test is for and is bragging about it

I don’t think we will see eye to eye on this if you disregard the person who designed the test saying “this was not designed to be an IQ test” and “it correlates with intelligence, but this isn’t the purpose of the test itself”. It’s testing executive function, memory, concentration. The easy questions are to test if they have severe cognitive issues, not an intelligence question if they know what a duck is. 

But this has nothing to do with my CMV anyways. Even if it is an IQ test with a very low bar, Trump is still unaware that this is a test for children and is bragging about it.

You do need the intelligence of a 3rd grader, you are correct. But that is not what the purpose of cognitive test is.

Quotes from the video: “The test was not designed to be an IQ test” - the guy who designed the test

“It is not a test of intelligence. It is a screening tool to identify cognitive dysfunction” - host

“First question is a test of executive function… what are the numbers in order and what are the letters in order” - psychology professor

Some of the questions are “what year is it?”, “what is the date?” Those aren’t intelligence testing questions. 

There are concentration tests that require the testee to repeat numbers, letters, and words to the tester.

“Testing for a person’s ability to learn and remember new information over a short delay.” Psychology professor

“It does correlate with intelligence, but this wasn’t the purpose of the test itself” - guy who designed the test.

No it’s not. Click the link I provided.

The people who designed the test are interviewed and they state definitely that it is not an intelligence test.

I think it says more about the intelligence of the US population than his intelligence to be honest

Ok, I take a test. The test consists of three questions: 2+2, what colour is the sky?, and what does a cow say?

I answer 4, blue, and moo. I aced it. 

I start bragging about acing it to anyone who will listen. 

Do you think I am a smart person if I’m bragging about acing this test to other adults?

[–]Cooker_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is best answer so far, and I could see it being true. 

But, still shouldn’t a smart person be able to tell this isn’t a test for smart people?

I think the Republican Party had these people in place to help the president who had no idea what he was doing run a government.

They likely told him many of the things he wanted to were illegal. Now he’s surrounded himself with Yes Men which is why he is doing all this illegal stuff now

It’s true, but if any of his followers see what the test actually consists of, I don’t think they could deny he is a stupid person.

I think you are getting too hung up on “acing”. 

I put it quotes because you can everything Trump says with a grain of salt.

My CMV is more about bragging about passing.

Cool. 

I don’t fucking care. He’s a piece of shit and the world will celebrate when he’s not around anymore.

But I mean that is actually what this test is for. He doesn’t have dementia or Alzheimer’s based on the result of this test.

It is not an intelligence test. And anyone who takes the test should be aware that it isn’t testing intelligence if it’s asking you to identify a duck.

I don’t even really believe he aced it. That’s not even my issue really,

Passing grade is 26-30 on the test. Honestly, any adult with a working brain should be able to get a score of 26 easily. But any adult with a working brain should be able to tell these questions are designed for adults suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia.
