Studying to ace an IQ test shows you’re not debilitatingly mentally challenged, though. I think that’s all the test is really good for.

Similar experience in junior high, took an in-person IQ test and scored highly but instead I thought “this will make people feel envious, I’ll keep it to myself.” When I found out how stupid being proud of IQ results was, I was so glad junior high me lucked his way through cringe-inducing-memory-free.

Also I watched an hour long documentary about “the man with the highest IQ in the world” with my mom and thought “this guy is insufferable, must be related to high intelligence.” But no, it was trash reality TV disguised as a documentary. I think the guy believed he was an unparalleled genius, though.

In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

The number of people who offered me $20 for my $1200 TV was staggering, and one woman wanted me to pay her to take my beanbag chairs.

I never dropped a literally.

I have no memory of seeing a gun in the last three years, but I make no claim to a perfect memory. Surely there were guns at the airport, but I didn’t particularly look at them or notice them.

But again, I am omitting people carrying for work, so I’m not sure why you are bringing it up a third time.

Do you not see the guns on people carrying for work?

I didn’t say I don’t see them, I said I would omit them. As in not count them. In direct response to your question.

I do in fact literally see guns every single day.

Literally every day? Literally every. Single. Day?

Even if there’s a cop on every street corner waving his gun in the air, you’ve never stayed home on a saturday? You’ve never gone camping? Never spent the day anywhere where there weren’t guns?

I have no reason to come into contact with cops, security guards, or soldiers on a regular basis. I can only assume your “literally” is facetious as well because literally every day is absurd.

And in the context of replying to someone making claims against the “average American” carrying guns, I think it’s appropriate to omit people carrying for work, yes.

I haven’t even seen a gun in years. You’re out of touch with reality.

I was talking to a couple of friends about how I wanted to play the Dark Urge and recruit Minthara in BG3, but I never could because I couldn’t bring myself to be that mean. One of them said “Hey man, I’ll make the tough choices, no problem. You just tag along and watch.” So we started a new playthrough.

Right as we get back to the grove and are about to wipe out the tieflings, both of them start in with “I don’t want to kill the tieflings! This sucks! Why are we doing this!?” So we loaded and changed our decisions.

And I’m thinking “This whole operation was your idea!”

Close, they actively fight success. Legally obligated to, even. It’s their fiduciary responsibility to keep you using the app.

Better to just accept the gifts for yourself and let them fire you. I imagine a juicy wrongful termination suit would be appropriate.

.2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?

I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.
