  • Did you take a real IQ test administered by a qualified human, or an internet IQ test?

    Real IQ tests have shaky research behind them. Internet IQ tests are worse than garbage.

    I am bothered by the relationship dynamic you describe. Look into signs of an abusive relationship.

    Know that even if you are not smart, you still have worth. You can have and be successful at many jobs and can find a partner that will treat you with respect.


  • Ah, shit man.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

    Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel described as his “most important connection”.[15] Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work.[16] U.S. Vice President JD Vance “has cited Yarvin as an influence himself.”[17][18][19] Michael Anton, the State Department Director of Policy Planning during Trump’s second presidency, has also discussed Yarvin’s ideas.[20] In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was “an informal guest of honor” due to his “outsize influence over the Trumpian right.”[21]




  • There are near 800 billionaires in the USA. Assuming all only have $1 billion dollars and it is all invested, applying the “4% rule” gives a sustainable $40 million each per year. With $10 million to personally spend, that gives $24 billion a year for charity and public works.

    I failed to find a list of the costs to solve various issues. Homelessness could be solved in a couple years.

    The numbers provided are just a starting place. Many problems are extremely expensive. Actually working to solve them would help.





  • In case this is helpful (to whoever)

    “It’s important that Shipping is up-to-date on these developments, Bob is their point person”

    Response Options:

    • Sure is. Bob is great. Is there a problem?

    • That makes sense. Who is Bob?

    • Sir, this is a Wendy’s. Can I cake your order. (Only applicable if you are on shift at the Wendy’s you work at.)
