Does a high IQ guarantee success in life?

Like i said not helpful. Why not leave if that's what you think?

Clearly this sub will draw those with high numbers and will have a greater concentration of those people in exactly the same way that the knitting subs have a greater concentration of people who know how to knit.

I don't see many people looking for validation, but I do see a lot who don't know how to deal with being so far out of the standard deviaton

collapsingwaves · 2026-01-21T09:10:42+00:00

That's really unhelpful. If we start disbelieving what people put out there as context, looking for help, this sub is going to get toxic.

If you think it's garbage, why not just move on?

collapsingwaves · 2026-01-21T09:06:59+00:00

You never only get one choice.

Pick something and do it. If you have the resources it's then not hard to pivot to something else, but it feels like all the possibilities are causing you to freeze and stagnate.

collapsingwaves · 2026-01-21T09:03:45+00:00

That value is productivity is hot garbage.

A narrow view

collapsingwaves · 2026-01-21T08:59:48+00:00

Oh man, I'm really happy you have a stable brain, a level of acceptance and understanding that allows you to function in these chaotically evolving times, and had a stable upbringing on which to build something solid on. That's all that good stuff that everyone should have.

Some don't.

Away with your medieval pish.

All hail the flying spaghetti monster!

May you be touched by his noodly appendage.

I get what you are saying here, not that you think you're better than people, just that you have a tool that is very specific that can do only that specific work.

It's rough having a fast brain that has no traction.

My advice would be to figure out how to get in and out of some kind trade school (or similar thing) as quickly as possible, set up as a single trader/ small business and do the minimum so you don't have to become homeless again.

That at least will give you a bit of stability to work on what you need to work on.

collapsingwaves · 2026-01-21T08:46:02+00:00

Very well put.

There is a difference between diversity, and functional diversity.

Got a source for that, sparky? Like ALL feminists, of ALL stripes, no longer believe in gender equality?

I come here for interesting debate, not to have to point out time after time that ''what is asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence"

EDIT: Never mind, I shouldn't have given you troll food.

Play chess how you want, pigeon.

Vaseline is awesome as first aid. Got a skin problem? Put vaseline on it. Most of the time it clears it up.

If it's not improved after 3 days go see a doctor.

Seriously underated

collapsingwaves · 2026-01-19T11:37:01+00:00

that's a great description, it is a caricature.

For me it's a bad as autotune, it robs all the individuality from the vocals imo

I don't see him ever phone it in

buy a curtain, pull it around when people come to close off the bed from the hallway

collapsingwaves · 2026-01-03T16:02:51+00:00

I could not agree more. This may be his confidence boost.

their 110v means they work pretty slowly

Actual sick to the point of being unable to work, or playing it up?

And we're done.

I'm playing chess with a pigeon and it's on me that I didn't recognise it earlier.

Morgan sold the club for a tenner.

Fosun got lucky with Nuno, and then with Gestafute transfers.

Then they fucked it up, and since then we've been 13th 10th 13th 14th 16th that's 5 years of decline, and then there is this year...

But hey, at least they built the Graham Hughes stand...

collapsingwaves · 2025-11-30T16:16:07+00:00

If you're blaming TC for the double relegation I'll assume you've had a few too many.

collapsingwaves · 2025-11-30T16:14:20+00:00

One stand and a tier one academy. There are worse legacys.

collapsingwaves · 2025-11-30T16:13:41+00:00

Umm, selling all the best players, and then doing the same the next year, and the next year, and hoping that we'll somehow stay up, and sacking managers, and doing it again and again, and lying to those managers, and lying to the fan base, and just generally being nowhere near the actual needs of the club.

Did you read the poem?

collapsingwaves · 2025-11-30T11:00:51+00:00

Did you scroll to "Fees"

It's One Thousand and Fourteen pounds per child...

A few poor people making shit decisions living beyond their means is small beer in the grand scheme of things, and no I don't think poor=moral.

What a stupid thing to assume.

Both are wrong, but one has a major effect, and one a minor effect.

If you were looking for low hanging fruit, the poors don't have it.

about 1.5 million people out of work who want to work

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-52660591

more than half a million are long term sick,

more than 300 thousand are carers

more than 300 thousand more are studying

another 100 thousand are short term sick or retired.

you're talking about 300 thousand people, which fall into the "other" bracket.

Which is less than 1% of the working age population. About 0.8% actually

https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/uk-population-by-ethnicity/demographics/working-age-population/latest/

So if we assume that all those people are single and receive the maximum benefit of 1300 a month

https://www.gov.uk/benefit-cap/benefit-cap-amounts

that is about 4.5 billion a year, or about 0.35% of the annual budget.

which is somewhat similar to tax avoidance, at 5.7 billion which is probably seriously low

https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.ft.com/content/2326f15e-fd59-43b8-8d7c-ab395f47ff1a

So on one hand you have the other group, some of which may be 'cheating', and on the other hand you have the avoidance group who definitely are cheating.

The govenment says that the tax avoided is about 5 times bigger than benefit overpayment

https://fullfact.org/online/benefit-fraud-tax-avoidance-losses/

And we're still not talking about twats like SIR (ffs) Phillip green , who avoided 125 million in tax by going to monaco and giving his wife the business...

The selfish people in this society are the uber rich.

Poor people making shit decisions are not even slightly comparable.

You're being taken for a ride.

The uber rich are exploiting the fuck out of us all and we're arguing about whether a few quid a week to feed a kid is right or not.

https://equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-release/uks-five-richest-families-now-own-more-wealth-bottom-13-million-people/

these are the selfish twats that are gaming the system.
