  So has average intelligence fallen that much or has the distribution changed so much that the median and the average are quite different? Maybe our graph is now u shaped with a huge number at very low intelligence and equal a very high and not much middle ground? What is it about the internet and 24hour news that has collectively dumbed down the population?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To refer casually to briefs-style men's underwear, is it Tidy Whities or Tighty Whities?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tighty as opposed to loose boxers (before boxers were made out of stretch material and became tight as well).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do guys have a haircut?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For both men and women, the type of hair style matters. Long flowing can go 6 months between cuts. The shorter the cut and the more detail the more often it needs to be cut. 6 weeks is often the case for short cuts. If shaved parts, every week might be necessary. In warm weather more often than in cold weather.

  Isn’t that why we used to buy 45s? And if you discovered the B-side was good then maybe someone would buy the album and everyone else would tape it?

  Ethically, the bar is much, much lower. By the time you have $25M net, you had to have exploited someone to get there and you’d have the clout to make at least local politics bend in your favour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $10M and up would probably qualify. Below that, people would still need to work to maintain what they have with some measure of comfort and dealing with risk, inflation. Above that, they should be able to be self sustaining without working for a paycheque.

  Anyone surprised?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Skill to do a job is important. However it seems that many younger people do not believe that interpersonal skills are a necessary skill because they haven’t learned them. Some have much more difficulty learning them or are completely unable to learn them due to neuro differences. They have a choice to either learn interpersonal skills or find work that is isolated where others don’t have to interact with them directly in order to do their jobs. Workplace accommodations can only go so far in helping if other people must interact with them in order to do their jobs. People in the workplace have always had to figure out how to work effectively with others. If they cannot, they have had to find other types of work that don’t require working directly with people. What’s new is expecting others to conform to individual needs instead of individuals conforming to the groups needs. Could you take a socializing class to learn the basics and get out of your current comfort zone? Your coworkers don’t need you to become their best friend but they do need to feel that they are not working with a robot. (I say this as someone who had to figure it out pre-internet. I was labelled Officious & Cold in one of my first employment reviews.)

  I had friends 40 years ago in their early 20s that were adamant that they never wanted kids. Some of them stayed that way and are going into retirement childless and most of them are happy with their decision. A few aren’t but can’t do anything about it. The others discovered, that with with right person, they did want kids and are just as happy. Hard to say which you will be. I know a few young women banking eggs in case they change their mind 10+ years from now and want to have biological children. Can you bank sperm to hedge your bet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See their point⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While I still like most of the music I did at age 14, I continue to find new music I like. I don’t discard much. If I liked it at one point I usually still like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most women learn from a very young age that the real definition of slut is 1) you used to have sex with me and not longer do so you’re a slut; 2) I want to have sex with you but you don’t notice me therefore you’re a slut; and 3) my boyfriend, husband, guy I like thinks you’re hot so you’re a slut. Doesn’t have anything to do with what sex the “slut” may or may not be having. Many women were labelled sluts while they were still virgins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You got it, buddy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, the majority of women, who have said bits, don’t know what they are either, most seem to think it is all vagina.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You got it, buddy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire medical industry does this so that in every language on the planet they are talking about the same thing and know that they are talking about the same thing and that there hasn’t been a translation error. Hyponatremia is hyponatremia no matter what language you speak.

  Except Trump has finally made every other country in the world question why we don’t just cut the rope. I think the rope will be cut if Trump continues to stay in office.

  Because of George Martin and Rothfuss I will not read a new series unless the last book has already been written. Sorry authors but this shit is too annoying for readers.

  Hopefully it is dessert soup otherwise it might be a bit on the sandy side.

  Ok. This actually made me laugh. Thanks.

  Not accurate. The Lib would be wearing a life jacket and know how to swim.

  Isn’t this the exact type of thing the 2nd Amendment types were supposed to have their guns and militia to guard against?
