The older I get the more I profoundly identify with Cypher. Ignorance truly is bliss.

I say it regularly, I would prefer to be ignorant… At least then I wouldn’t be hyper aware our species stinks.

Seriously, sweet ignorance and the woman in the red dress, every day.

I get what you mean… though, I feel like an IQ test is a biased test, I took one as a teenager and scored high. Which was a morale boost at the time, but a few months later I had medical problems and ended up having a stroke and had to basically start all over with speech, motor and memory.

Sure, I survived. But I went through every therapy, started back up and realized I wasn’t close to what I was before. Which was crushing, sure I knew it wouldn’t be the same and I’m still above average, but the latent memories of my capabilities before constantly haunt me.

I didn’t mean to depress anyone, just enjoy the blue zone if at all possible. I constantly try remembering, it can get worse. /hug

Thank god, it’s pseudoscience now. Though I was tested over 2 decades ago, it seemed silly they made a big deal out of it.

I always new IQ was inaccurate but I didn't know it was that inaccurate

Cool name. Are the new ones as enormous as they say?

Thanks, and do you mean the Butthole Spiders?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Of course I mean the butthole spiders! What do they do with their time since the revamp? Maybe we could convince the judge to let us old school the Dahmer types for a few bearamies? I pulled off toe nails until I was transferred to running coffee shops in the rehab neighborhoods so I never got to see the new spiders.
