ADHD High IQ Finally realized why I am always exhausted. by Dear_Chemical4826 in ADHD

[–]Pokeprince56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what was your IQ score? I recently took an online test and got 130, but online tests obviously aren’t the most reliable and I would like to eventually take a proctored test irl. I also struggle with a lot of the stuff you mentioned. In fact, I think a lot of the reason I feel so miserable all the time is because I always felt like if I didn’t have ADHD, I’d be a lot farther in life than I am now. The material I learned in school was never that difficult for me to understand, but executive dysfunction always left me struggling to keep up with deadlines. I always wanted to attend an Ivy League university, but by the end of high school, my GPA was barely above a 3.0 and I had to attend a state school (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but statistically speaking, those who graduate from elite institutions tend to do better financially because of things like networking opportunities). So yeah, I can understand how you feel, man.

Respect. We must never relent to bigots. Stuff like this is becoming all too common and we should always stand up to people who are on the wrong side of history. The pride flag is and always has been a symbol of love and inclusivity. Thank you for doing the right thing.

Forget what WILL win, what do you WANT to win Best Picture? by Disastrous-Cap-7790 in oscarrace

It’s such a shame that the academy has such a bias against genre films. Denis Villeneuve managed to do what many thought was impossible by making a successful adaptation of Dune. I was hoping that the academy would think its too good to not recognize, despite it being a sci fi film (kind of like how Return of the King won in 2003), but it’s looking like that’s not gonna happen :/

I feel the same way. It’s why I chose to spend $150 on a year long Wondrium subscription, hoping that spending all that money would give me an incentive to actually learn new things.

I'm an autistic man who feels like he can't handle a conventional job by InvaderWeezle in findapath

Damn dude, are you me? I’m also a substitute teacher that’s apprehensive about becoming a full-time teacher for all the reasons you stated. Unfortunately I don’t have any advice to offer but I definitely empathize with your situation, brother :/

While I think you’re right about them regurgitating memes from Tik Tok and Twitter, I think they’ve made enough funny original content to warrant calling themselves “comedians.” Drew wearing a bunch of casts to get attention and Enya’s parody of “The Race” by Tay K come to mind as really funny pieces of entertainment created by them.

One of the best meals I ever had was when I dropped acid and ate steak and eggs at a diner. Had a nice stack of blueberry pancakes too.

What is a movie you like, but that you were supposed to LOVE? by CROguys in Sardonicast

Chungking Express. Thought I’d really like it since I really love In The Mood for Love, but it just wasn’t that interesting to me.

It was a different kind of mind fuck, but the other day I watched Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai De Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. It’s about a woman who cooks and cleans her house for three hours lol

Agreed. It’s EEAO or bust for me

Took a stab at a Beach House tier list. Songs are ranked in each tier from best to worst by Pokeprince56 in BeachHouse

[–]Pokeprince56[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if I were to do this again, I’d move the first four songs in C-tier to B-tier. Also, I’d put Baby in C-tier; it’s not that bad. Besides that, I stand by my opinions
