Spoony the Pussy One: Life is in the Render Queue

[Kugelfisch]

God this guy is such full of shit. He took some shit test when he was a kid and it showed he was some kind of genius?

Nope. He was sent to a test to see if he is and it turned out negative. Just like with tictac and me. It's not even remotely seldom. Be a bit smarter in some way than your peers and that's what happens.
I've seen an old VHS of me as a kid when I was seven or so. I had the vocabulary and diction of a grown-up. I was very surprised about myself.
But the point is that it never got much better. I have a broad vocabulary but not unusually so. I just enjoy languages a bit more than most people and that's it. My vocabulary was just surprising for a seven year old. I sucked and still suck at math, I wasn't a whole lot smarter in general. I was just good at remembering stuff I cared for. That's it.
It doesn't take much to be sent to such a test for being a genius or a retard. Most of the time it's nothing.

The thing with these test and the rest of social sciences is that they measure your IQ vs some standarized test and kids who score a little higher are more prone to being secret geniuses. But since we all like our "X = Y" reasoning (it makes life simpler that way), the general consensus is that if you have a high IQ you suddenly are Enistein MK II, instead of possibly, 30-40% chance of being more developed than the rest.

Mark my words, if you are bragging about your high IQ that just means you have nothing else to brag about. Do you think an MD, a CEO or Chief o Engineering are bragging about how high they scored in an IQ test in elementary?

I don't even remember much of that test either. I just remember that I had to draw a portrait of a person at some point and that it was boring.
They came to the conclusion that I'm smart but not overly so and that I could do better if I tried but can't keep attention to something I don't care for for long. So basically what all my first year's worth of school grades said in the comment section.
And it's not even like it did something for me. Because of suspicions of me being super smart I skipped a year which I ended up repeating as dealing with the social shit didn't mesh well with me and I just wasn't that smart. Especially, again, in math which the comments pointed out specifically. It was a waste of time.

It was a waste of time.

That's the tagline for 4 years of Sociology.
The field really wants there to be grading on a curve for intelligence when in reality there are just 3 big groups: Outliers - Megageniuses or pants-shitting retards (no need for a test to determine that, they can calculate pi to the millionth decimal while playing the violin) ; above average - the kid catches on fast, if he goes to college he will graduate, if he goes to trade school he will catch on quick, etc; and finally average: wageslave producer/consumer.

Adding 15 cathegories to this classification will not save an average kid from being average. Sure, it may give them self-esteem because "they are special in their own way" but....c'mon.

Spoony needs a job. Fast food, waiting tables, whatever. His cuntiness is at an all time high because he fucking hates himself for being an internet reviewer. He may have hated that IT job he had back in the day, but he could at least look another man in the eye and say he worked for a living, hence why he seemed so chill. And he needs to ditch April today. Her laziness is only enabling his worst tendencies, and she's not even vaguely attractive.

tl'dr ... Spoony needs to clean up, work for a living, and start tapping Lupa.

Alternatively, you could make a video and make money without leaving your house.

[Kugelfisch]

Go out and get punched, Spoony, why don't ya? Sounds like a fantastic idea.

[GodsGift]

Yea like he could actually go through the effort of getting out his house let alone go protest
