Dunno, haven't measured it since I found out a couple decades ago that it's not so much a useful tool for assessing intelligence as something invented by and for insecure people with very specialised knowledge to use as a combination status symbol and weapon ๐คท
So what was it when you did lol?
I got tested as a child, so no idea, but I'd guess the teachers were insecure and used specialised knowledge as a status symbol and weapon, LOL
Why are you continuing to insult me by saying I'm stupider than you? Sounds pretty weak and insecure to me!
In many cases, yeah. I'm generally very pro-teacher, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any bad teachers out there stubbornly clinging to debunked systems ๐คท
Because you keep asking for clarification as if I wasn't being crystal clear the first time. I'm just having fun humouring you while also mocking you ๐คท
Your constant hounding me about whatever I could possibly mean by calling you neither smart nor clever? Yep, sure does.
Mate, your first comment to me was an insult.
So I'll end it with the same.
Peak Dunning Kruger effect
An insult AND an explanation of why the insult was accurate.
In contrast, your first comment to me was "fuck off poor"
Look, I found a picture of you!
Lol, wealth and income are different things. Besides the point of what? They're not the same, cretin.
It wasn't a counter argument, you fucking tool.
But keep doubling down, it's like inception with an idiot.
Congratulations on stating the blindingly obvious a THIRD time, demonstrating that you're incapable to learn from your mistakes.
They ARE intimately connected, though. According to everyone and everything except for US tax code written by and for the mega-rich themselves, wealth is a result of income, cretin.
What was it, then? What is your reason for repeatedly stating what everyone always knows, if not to support some kind of point against the fact that extreme wealth and income concentration is a problem?
I'm not the one that keeps repeating the same blindingly obvious statement again and again, apparently hoping that it's going to be super poignant or at least a tiny bit relevant to some secret point THIS time ๐คฆ
Lol. Exactly you fucking moron. So it's already been taxed. So if I invest my taxed income to create wealth, which I'll get taxed on again if I convert to income, or I die and then it'll get taxed again. Somehow that's bad?
Just because you're poor and want what others have doesnt make you superior and morally correct, it just makes you poor like the other 99.9%, and envious to boot. Lol! ๐คก
Lol, I can't believe this is the point you condescendingly make over and over, yet don't understand how wealth and income pay for all the public services... Twat.
๐ฅฑ We're done here. If I wanted all of the stupidest right wing talking points yelled at me by someone very angry clearly compensating for something by claiming that every else is the idiot, I'd turn on Faux News ๐
U came at me bruv.
Don't like it, don't start it.
PS, no one who matters gives a shit about your 19th century ideology in the 21st.
I said we're done here. If I had known you were THIS stupid, I'd never have engaged in the first place. There are tens of millions of idiots using the exact same garbage talking points, none of them worth my time.
Engaged?? Is that what you call it?
So it's not just me, you're an arsehole to everyone you disagree with?
Got it
Nope. What part of "we're done here" is too difficult for you?
Let me be more obvious: stop excreting words at me
Ah, one of those have to get the last word kind of people, GG
