You can get better at IQ tests by doing more of them and learning the patterns, right? So it’s basically measuring how au fair you are with logic puzzles rather than anything particularly intrinsic.




I learned that it’s not ok to be intelligent but completely incapable of remembering to do things or remembering the things that the teachers thought it was important for me to remember.


I went on Twitter to download my data pre-deletion (still nothing) and Billy Bragg was on there. What the hell?! That’s practically on a par with guesting on Joe Rogan by now.



40 hours is pretty long TBF! I’d probably just zone out for the last hour of each day.


I miss the kill frenzies. GTA4 was an absolute nadir of the series feeling like a job rather than fun - I get that they wanted you to to get drunk with Roman to experience the drunk controls and have to stop at the toll-booth like a commuter, but both things quickly become tedious.

Nope. Never even heard of it until recently, in the context of kids leaving school unable to read.
