Well, I know I am far smarter than a few family members. My brother told me he would never get vaccinated for covid, because it has cancer in it, which is not true.
Overall I would say I am average, or slightly above average iq. Not saying I am a genius.
And you’re so much better than them because you’re not 🤷
It couldn’t possibly be you’re the one actually acting that way
You’re the stupid, oversensitive failure with the inferiority complex taking out your emotions on innocent people who have literally done nothing to you but of course you’re the victim here and not them
I don’t know much about the club and was not expressing my opinion on them (because I have none). I just guessed what whas is the reason someone picked on them
They care more about appearing smart to others to feel better about themselves, seems like low wisdom to me. High wisdom is realising that all that posturing makes no sense.
The way I see it, they are no different from people who spend money to show off and appear even richer than they actually are; posting pictures of themselves in fancy card, private jets, and other things like that. There are many deca-millionaires and billionaires who buy bigger and bigger yachts and jets for that posturing, even modifying their yacht to be longer so it will be registered as a longer yacht even though it’s the same useable space…
IQ test isn’t nearly as valuable as they make it to be in reality, and I guarantee that many of that club’s members prepared and trained specifically for that test, which makes them appear smarter than they actually are to the people who care about IQ scores. Moreover, this gives them the incentive to believe that IQ scores matter a lot more, because it inflates their self-worth.
Nah. You automatically made huge assumptions about the people who joined that group with no understanding of who they are or what they actually stand for because you never researched it or even cared to Google it. And you did that because you, as an anti-intellectual, are one of those people who talk shit about people more intelligent than you to make yourself sound smart.
Did you know 12% of them are Zoomers, for instance? As in teens? Did you even consider some of them would be kids or teens or did that just slip your mind in the middle of you taking out your anger, jealousy and inadequacies on them?
But as usual, as some dumbass anti-intellectualist bigot, you project your own flaws and failings onto a group you want to marginalize to make yourself feel better.
Shut the fuck up and go crack open a book, you worthless, arrogant, vapid, vicious little clod.
It would work. Senator Sanders forced a vote to require the State department to report on Israel’s humanitarian violations or immediately withhold aid, and the Senate quickly voted 72-11 against the proposal. That is probably the most bi-partisan vote we’ve seen in decades. But don’t go thinking that the enormous American political machine actually represents the will of the American people. They represent corporate interests, and hardly even try to hide that anymore.
Yes, a number of users on Lemmy have made that claim, and this article shows references of it being done by various media outlets and other political pundits.
David Friedman, the conservative former US ambassador to Israel during Donald Trump’s presidency, went further, tweeting before Monday’s protest: “Any American Jew attending this rally is not a Jew – yes I said it!”
It was the Democrat president that bypassed congress twice to send munitions to Israel during it’s active genocidal campaign so no, it’s not Republicans.
Also, Republicans want to send weapons and money to Israel and not to Ukraine, while Congressional/Biden admin Democrats want to do both. So with Republicans you get double the genocides.
I got a new car that automatically unlocks when you pull on the door handle with the fob nearby. It’s so hard to not pull on the handles after locking to check. I’ve had the locks fail on me once on an older car so I’m always paranoid.
So yeah. Housing the homeless is an effective solution. There are more empty homes than homeless in the US at least. And you can subsidize or build new places for this purpose, especially if they are transitory for the majority. And it’ll still be cheaper than dealing with all the knock-on effects of homelessness: litter, crime, health issues, etc.
Public services in capitalist and communist societies are often hindered by inefficiency and corruption, causing issues with access to public housing. Public services are often influenced by political agendas and it can be difficult for disadvantaged groups to access.

I think the problem has more to do with the fact that humans are common to fall into nepotism and greed. This is not a problem that is siloed to either economic solution. (www.history.com/news/ukrainian-famine-stalin)

I’m a school bus driver and one of the catholic schools I drop kids off at has a parking lot person that uses a handheld green stop sign to control kids and buses. It fucked me up the first time I saw it because I genuinely didn’t know whether she meant I should stop or go. It was green because it had “Go Birds” written on the back side - one more reason not to root for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Russian propaganda painting Azov as all 45 million people in Ukraine when in reality they represent a percent of a percent.
It’s like saying we should invade the US because some of them are self professed neonazis. Absolutely bonkers unless you wanted to fabricate a reason to invade in the first place
Azov has 900-2500 total members and are recognized as local militia only. In no way is supplying Ukraine’s military equivalent to “giving Azov weapons” unless you explicitly want a reason to justify killing Ukrainians.
Want to guess how many police officers we have nation wide here? Or maybe you have another whataboutism for me?
Do you have a Nazi police department? Interesting. Azov has a standing in the official army. The coup the west backed was fought for by your freedom fighters. Go back under your rock Nazi apologet.
Your the one defending Nazis. And you hold your foul mouth shut when they were ethnic cleansing eastern Ukraine but I guess they don’t get the same defense from you. Thank Russia for saving them from your side.
Btw, I still won’t reply and can’t see yours, but I just wanted you to know I think it’s cute that you’re compulsively down voting my comments. It’s the sign of someone with no other recourse lol
Jsyk. You don’t kill the cat because it has fleas. Unless you were looking for a reason to kill the cat in the first place.
Caring about the cat doesn’t equate to defending the fleas unless your goal is to get rid of the cat.
I know this doesn’t matter to you, because you’ve already attached your identity to the Russian genocide justification. But someone has to advocate for the other 44.995 million of them. It’s clear you’d rather them dead.
Anyway, enjoy being blocked. I have no more time to give to a genocide sympathizer.
I find it funny that Americans (esp. Republicans) who love to «win» at all things, would be fine to allow Russia to win against the west in Ukraine. I think if they decide to stay on their isolationist path, Lavrov’s propaganda from earlier in the week will come true, and the US will seize to be a superpower. «Greatest country in the world»? Starting to look pretty weak to me.
The US is speed running the Empire game. They blitzed through the early game, beat a super power, became the dominant military force in the world, dominated in culture, and are now seeing how fast they can decline before the entire country implodes on itself.
same here, even when someone hasn’t changed my mind 100% I’ll often acknowledge if any of their arguments made me want to delve deeper into a topic and think more about my opinion on it
Speaking of bitches. I much prefer them to dogs - better temprement, smell better and no undercarage for you to accidentally brush/knock when rubbing their belly.
