/\ that's just dumbassery of legislation. But stupid poo poo like this is going to pop up if places decide to fund schools on pot taxes. Just dump it into the general fund and wait a few years to see where consumption rates will provide consistent and predictable returns, then get specific with the weed funbux. You know those dumbasses that get rings from whatever the local Jostens knockoff is for graduating bootcamp? Yeah. No goddamn idea where it is now.

Its hard to realize anything when you are sure you are the smartest man in the room. Which is darkly ironic considering all reports from people who have worked with Trump that he largely just repeats whatever he's heard.

There is a societal correlation between intelligence and self worth/esteem. Generally people with high IQs are substantially more critical of their own flaws, and can over analyze themselves to the point of extreme self doubt. (or with a chemical imbalance depression) It's something that is seen heavily in the hard sciences and engineering, which also adds into low social intelligence and emotional quotients i.e. The introvert nerd stereotype. The lower echelons of intelligence (2 standard deviations below of the mean, so IQs between 70-85) also are intelligent enough to understand that they aren't as smart as their peers, and it can turn into maladjustment in society if social intelligence is also low. If a person is 3 standard deviations below (sub 70) they generally have a mental handy cap of some sort, thus requiring different schooling and care. Generally though people within the one standard deviation of the mean (85-115) tend overstate their intelligence the most, as school is tailored to this entire gambit of people (essentially 2/3rd of the population), generally have a stereotypical social life, and are best fit for the world. Add in a touch of narcissism and you get someone like Donny.

Interesting. Do you have the study that's from? I'm curious because the two studies I've see showed that the bottom doesn't tend to overstate at that level. Also I want to know which test they used, in case that has anything to do with the results.

The "Diaper Don is not a member of the administration" excuse seems to be evaporating rapidly. The administration wrote his statement to the NYT, and there are reports that people in the White House are prepping to discredit the journalists involved. If Donnie keeps shooting his mouth off does that constitute undue influence?

The hot take from AM radio today was, "Well if Trump JR did it that means his father is clean! He was only doing what a good son, a good advocate, would do. Further if the Russians had damning evidence about Hillary and wanted to give it to Trump JR. That only proves that the Russians weren't trying to help Trump, just trying to hurt Hillary!*ignores how yesterday he went on a rant on how the Russians would absolutely have loved Hillary in charge*" There should be a law banning news radio in the work place. Edit: I don't really see how anyone can make the logic of "hur dur they're not helping trump, they're trying to hurt hillary!" Instead of seeing one implies did the other.

I would forfeit my $1200 reimbursement without much issue for the post 9/11 GI bill. I wouldn't have a problem doubling that either. Honestly it's been so worth it that I would've taken a $100 pay cut every month of the five years that I was in if I had to.

I just got approved for my Law school voc rehab and honestly don't see this as being a real issue. All the retarded military hero worship in this country might have something to say about it. Wouldn't paying in also make these kinds of benefits harder to stop with a general discharge or is that something Shim made up? I don't associate with unhonorable vets

But why cut at all? Rather, I guess he is talking about putting the burden on individual military members? I signed up for the post 9/11 and was press ganged into paying the Montgomery bill anyways. This is the one thing that I didn't have to get broken to get and this motherfucker wants to cut it so he can fund more tax cuts for someone who promises me a position on their cyberpunk LONESTAR security package assuming I got all 4 extremities left after the forever war. gently caress being reasonable. No more cuts, I served durring sequestration and lemmie tell you, there's nothing left to cut.

I've been fighting with Navy Medical to get the arthroscopy I need for my hip since last October, and I'm still another month or two away from a possible surgery. Not looking forward to when it's time to get my other hip scoped out as well. I turn 29 next month

A chunk of ice the size of Delaware calved off of the Larson C ice shelf in Antarctica this morning. Edit: I knew a guy who broke one of his femurs where it connects to the ball joint in airborne school, and then broke the other femur in the same place during a ruck march. Dude was 24 at the time, is never going to be able to run again, and will probably need both hips replaced by the time he's 35. A Bad Poster fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jul 12, 2017 |
