How? How have you shut yourself 3 times as an adult? Seriously how?

I’ll completely forgive you if you’re sick/stomach bug, but if you’re saying you shite yourself after too much coffee/too many bran muffins, I have no sympathy for you
I've always thought it was blatantly obvious that any time we're talking about adults shitting themselves, that it's due to some sort of illness. Nobody is dropping a solid turd in their pants. It is always liquid or near-liquid shite, which means something is wrong. Sometimes you can feel it and you know it's liquid, but other times you aren't sure and you gamble on a fart.

Solid poop can be held almost indefinitely until you get way up in age. Like I said earlier, for the rest of us there is a combination of consistency and pressure that no anus can hold back forever.

My main issue is I can not focus on anything anymore


why?

Worried?

DNGAF?

B vitamins might help.
Getting rest really matters.

80 is not all that bad, re functioning.

I taught grammar school and college and industry.
I had kids testing in the 50 to 70 range.
They can learn. They are so used to being low man they dont have confidence. I was mainly cheerleader for them.
The mouth breathing cliff is way below 80.

A 100 iq person can do college well if they do the work. Not just party and hunt pussy.

You could have just said this and not all that other stuff. I’ve lost that gamble before. Once while cooking gumbo in my girlfriend (now wife’s) kitchen. I’m surprised to this day she still married me.

ah ok. i only said that b/c a few years ago one of my old gifted buds was trying to get me to learn it with him. he is in finance and was taking his investment model from excel to python and he was learning python. i chose poker instead. that's actually a classic example of what i was talking about earlier (with my former peers doing random advanced shite)

within a year he was coding his model for machine learning and all sorts of shite

also, one of my gifted peers just appeared in the thread so he can verify what i'm talking about

school life is one big mission to find the easiest (aka laziest) ways to get the grades


i was in a chemistry class with 1000 points.
There was to be a separate exam for lab. I noticed that the lab final was worth 3/64ths of 1000.

I decided that i could get 2/3rds of those points (67 or better on exam) without any focus on lab issues.

Got A in course. A note was written to me on the list of our grades posted on the door. "I expected more from you". Lol.

I haven't had my IQ tested since I was a child but at that particular time, I had an IQ of about 140 I think. If I'm interested in something, I have the uncanny ability to learn everything about it in very short order. Problem is...unless my interest is total, I get bored very easily. I'm also very lazy.

I don't feel as gifted as I used to feel, fwiw. In fact I feel quite stupid most of the time.

I did learn some python basics a 4-5 years back, but didn't keep practicing. I got pretty decent at conversational German a few years back. Again, didn't keep practicing and lost it. Kids get in the way of hobbies quite often.

That’s why I’m glad to be in Texas. 2/3rds of your office are bilingual

Probably because you were recognized and praised for being a precocious little frick since you were a kid, and the incentives/affirmation you received as a child told you that you could achieve everything based on your intelligence rather than your ability to work.


Actually, everyone telling you that is also telling themselves they "don't have to worry about Kujo, he'll be fine. He'll get a scholarship so let's spend his college fund."

They were right, I did get a scholarship, but the point is that they stopped putting in effort or guidance. They took a hands off approach, set it and forget it, "what ever he does, he'll be fine".

So at 17 with a full ride, I just took whatever classes, and went with business major. (had no idea what I wanted to be).

Had C student friends that went poli sci for law school, computer science, etc. because their parents pushed them, they go career counseling, and other things.

Just saying, there may be a lack of motivation on both sides

It’s not! It’s a bell curve. Level of education doesn’t really change your IQ beyond the elementary school years. Basically 80 IQ is the people of Walmart. 100 IQ believes mainstream media, 120 is insecure about the fact that they’re above average but not gifted (think faux intellectual, Antifa types), and 140 sees what’s around them and quietly makes contingency plans.

The vast majority of people have never had a real IQ test and are talking out their arse. I had several as a child and young adult as part of a long term learning study. A real test is a day long and involves a written test, verbal interviews, logic tests, spatial reasoning tests and other such things


Day long? Most adults don’t have the fitness for that lengthy of test. I’ve administered the Wechsler test more than a dozen times back in grad school. Average test takes about 90 minutes. There’s a great deal of subjectivity to scoring. There’s some aspects that are scored based on correct and incorrect response and parts that are based on time. Still there is some subjectivity, and least when I was doing it back then.
