Everything is about sex, so it’s only logical to use sex to resolve everything.

Speaking of belittling motherfuckers... My [22F] boyfriend [25M] keeps embarrassing me in front of others about my job/salary (Romantic) quote:acn't flair cuz I'm on mobile, but here goes anyway. My boyfriend and I have been together for over 3 years, and were long distance for a good chunk of that while I was in college and he was working out of state. His job doesn't have much mobility, so I compromised after graduation and moved to his state (where I didn't have any other professional or personal relationships or ties). I took the first job that came my way cuz hello, student loans. It's definitely not my ideal job, and I've been planning to quit soon to go back to school in the next 6 months-ish, once I've got in-state residency established.

If you get an IQ test, the smartest thing you can ever do is not tell anyone.

(NC) Chances of joint custody?quote:So I currently have supervised visitation rights with CPS involvement, but I recently filed for joint custody. My kid's mom has primary and moved away right after we signed the agreement. I only see my kid for 48 hours every two weeks. What are my chances of winning? On the surface this seems pretty mundane, but then we get into the comments, and... quote:[–]dudeonstilts[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

Why the gently caress are those people continuing to give him advice. They're not his lawyers. I get supporting the principle of giving people fair court represenation but then tell the guy to get a lawyer and gently caress off instead of theorizing about what proof he could possibly still find to screw his wife over.

My dad is super humble and knows he basically got lucky, but even though his brother died more than 30 years ago, my aunt and cousin still have this enormous complex about it. Every time we have family get togethers they do this hilarious dance of trying to hint at how much money they make while not directly bragging about it, and awkwardly trying to find out if I make more. I'm never going to tell them though.

maskenfreiheit posted:Also 110ish is solid dunning Kruger territory since you’re definitely not dumb but not smart enough to realize you’re no genius either. IQ itself is a pointless metric when applied in the way it is by most people. I've never met someone intelligent who cared about it, but boy have I met a bunch of idiots with no actual accomplishments who clung to it. You could score total garbage on an IQ test and still be one of the most intelligent people in the world in some other way. Not that intelligence matters all that much. A pattern of success predicts success. I've no idea what intelligence predicts. I personally think it's dumb because you can study to drastically improve your score.

Khorne posted:Online IQ tests skew crazy high. The average score is closer to 130 because they want people to feel "smart" or take more tests for $$$ or their email. Yeah I'm assuming the score is legit, I admit that is a pretty big assumption. I think the problem with IQ is it's a small part of "intelligence". For example, think if it like electricity. Wattage = amps * volts. Amps = how much electricity goes through the wire, volts = how fast it's traveling. So basically, if you're someone with an IQ of 120 but a hard worker you can accomplish just as much as a lazy 140. (There's actual data from Nobel winners showing IQ has rapidly diminishing returns above 130.) It's something that's always been interesting to me, since I kind of "hit the wall" during my PhD quals. (You know the stereotype of the smart kid who goes to college and has an existential crisis because he has to work? Picture that but you're in your mid 20s) Managed to pass them but it was a life lesson.

People want a reason to feel good about themselves. They'll readily accept a quick, easy, meaningless number as a stand-in for the self confidence that comes from a lifetime of successes and failures, and the sense of personal responsibility that real introspection develops.

Reading it again, it seems like it was just one person that is a friend of a friend he hardly sees that was too dumb to realize he is deaf and 2 other randos (that don't know him) baking her up. I think he is reading waaaay too much into this. And should just ignore this.

AskHR has some gems: Senior Co-Worker jokes about shooting up the office and I feel uncomfortable. Is this normal shop talk? (self.AskHR) quote:This Senior Co-worker has always been a difficult to work with for example: other employees wait for him to leave the area before discussing any difficulties with the day's tasks because if he over hears the discussion he becomes overbearing, tactless and self aggrandizing while "helping" us (to be fair he really is fantastic at his job - up until the part he is expected to lead; so he's basically really good at MY job). There are enough team members that we can solve issues without him.

I think few things can brighten up a person's day like finding out someone can communicate with you if you generally have issues with that. When I worked in a middle school, we would occasionally get new students with deaf parents. They'd come in with this obvious look of resignation because they expected it to be a huge slog to speak to our counselors (we did the scheduling in the guidance office). As soon as our ASL fluent counselor started signing their faces would light up.

Serephina posted:"The Office Halloween party is coming soon! We've chosen the theme, and the costumes and roles. You're the fat annoying kid. No, you don't get to pick someone else." If it actually bothers him, he should just put his foot down and say he's coming as something else or not at all. Ie, grow a spine. This hits home for me-- I already started assembling a really elaborate and not inexpensive costume that uses some hobby/cosplay type crap I already have and ties it into the workplace-- and in a recent management meeting our department head started latching onto "Let's do a department-wide theme" and the leading pitch was "minions."  I pushed back hard against this but it really seemed to get traction in her brain.
