I think it would be hard to isolate exactly how much of our daily lives we experience as a direct consequence of our IQ and how much is a consequence of other things such as personality, emotional predisposition, environment, and luck.

My IQ is pretty average (around 115 I think? I tested ages ago and I can’t even say the test was reliable). Some people insist I must be somewhat higher than that but I don’t know. I feel dumber every day.

My father though, he does have a higher IQ (I think 135 iirc) and it’s obvious to anyone that he’s a brains guy. Always top student in his youth and later a decent researcher, engineer and programmer. And yet he still makes dumb mistakes like everyone else, and his temper and personality will often turn a mediocre day into a bad one. He has a tendency to overcomplicate things unnecessarily, and sets high standards for others around him- you’d think being smarter would mean he wouldn’t do this, but as I said, intelligence doesn’t work isolated. I remember asking him how it feels like being smarter than most of his peers and his answer is always “bah!”.

So I don’t know if this answers your question, but there’s my two cents for you.

Short answer: no. You can even study two other degrees and be fine if age is your only concern.

I’m going to guess it’s from the movie Apocalypto, but I might be wrong.

Job offers

Not that I’ve seen any in ages

Otherwise… Mmm cats. Cats are good

That’s a good idea if it’s an option

I am also a hater of unnecessarily bright lights. In your shoes, presuming I’m happy with the product otherwise, I would paint over it with a bit of nail polish.

You can get polish in any color you want these days, and it’s very cheap. It dries fast and it comes with a very small brush. You can apply one coat, see if the led still shines through too much, apply another coat 15mins later once the first layer is dry. Repeat.

Edit: seeing the photo I realize the shape it has. Be careful with the polish if you use it, one coat or two probably will be okay on the inner surface but don’t add more or the button may get stuck. Also wait extra before even daring to test button functionality, you don’t want the button scraping off semi dry polish.

Everyone here saying “undersalt, undersalt” like salt is the only additive that can go wrong in excess. Pretty much any spice is, too, so don’t go crazy on any of them especially pepper, chili, anything “hot”.

That was informative, thank you

That looks amazing, why do you say something like that would be average Joe’s nightmare? LOL TIL trailer isn’t at all like a campervan and I’m really confused now haha

I presume you are in the US. Out of curiosity - how does bathroom work with trailer life? Do you have a shower and toilet in the trailer or do you go somewhere else for that? I’m a complete stranger to trailer life, I suppose it’s just like camping but perhaps over there you have some differences when it’s a permanent full time lifestyle. I don’t know

The userbase. I don’t care much for anything else on your list, I think things as they are aren’t perfect but I’m ok with it as is. Reddit is the same or worse. But the userbase is different. Less trolls, more tech savvy people, more FOSS. Overall better answers, except on certain niche areas.

Also it’s less invasive visually and mentally. Reddit is riddled with ads and links to other posts very much like YouTube has suggested videos on the side. I don’t need this information overload. Annoying. I used to be able to control it using Boost for reddit but hey, guess what.

And if I really need to go to Reddit, I do. Nothing stops me from lurking if I want. Occasionally I use it, I think over the last 2 years I’ve posted like five times on Reddit.

I like being able to choose what I want when I want it.

Okay I would ask questions for any amount of money unless they tell me first. The people I feel I would easily give money are also the same people who I’d expect they tell me first why- they wouldn’t be “hey mothra got some spare 100s?”

To answer your question, I would easily give 10 to about a dozen people or so, 100 to half of them and 1k+ to only 3, and for a very good reason only. I didn’t even realize the number of people would halve.

Never. I can’t stand the crowds and the loud music. And I don’t appreciate the crowds singing and screaming on top of the music either. I’ve been to concerts like two times in my life just because others insisted so much I joined them, and the experience was exactly what I thought it would be.

I’m just not cut for them.

I don’t think I bought band related merch ever, but I’ve seen some really cool stuff so that is something I would consider if the opportunity presented itself.

Productivity is when you do the stuff you need to do. If you can do even more in advance, you are more productive.

Nit sure if pasta or roast chicken with roast pumpkin. There were leftovers for both but I forgot in which order I had them

Are you asking about beliefs regarding authority, or beliefs we know to be absolutely arbitrary with no evidence to back up?

Or what do you mean if neither of these?

Yeah it’s just extortion. They know you can’t go anywhere so they set those ridiculous prices and get away with it

Airport prices are on a whole other level

I don’t have a specific time or mood other than being in the mood to listen to that particular composer. Anyways, my choices are Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Sibelius and Beethoven. I also find the director makes a huge difference in my enjoyment, just any version won’t do.

Depends on the type of job. In my industry you’d be lucky to find more than 10 job openings in the whole country per month. You bet you want to tailor the everything out of the resume and cover letters.

For basic jobs like retail, you can apply with AI written slop and nobody will notice. All they need to know is your availability.
