I've never seen anything that convinces me intelligence is even important beyond a binary sufficient/not-sufficient. Even if IQ was accurate and meaningful I don't see how say 10 IQ points would even matter once you're over a somewhat low threshold. The spread of raw, for the lack of a better term, processing power we have doesn't seem to vary anywhere near enough above a certain point to overcome things like attitudes, knowledge, practice, and biases and whatnot. Intelligence largely strikes me as just more meritocracy bullshit.

In September 2003, Fritts was one of six officers who opened fire at a suicidal man during a "suicide by cop" encounter, according to court records and Knoxville News Sentinel archives. The man was superficially wounded by one bullet, while the rest of the 28 rounds fired, including six by Fritts, missed the man.

In November, 2009, Fritts was off duty and working private security when he fired twice at a man trying to flee in a car from a Kroger parking lot in Farragut after shoplifting, according to court to a sheriff's office report and Knoxville News Sentinel archives. Fritts missed both times from close range, and the driver sped away, but was later arrested.

IQ is horseshit in adults, but it can be useful in kids, which is why all the tests are *designed to be done by kids*

Important thing to remember is that IQ is not a value for how much you know, it is a test of how well you learn. So if a child gets a lower score they might need to be given more assistance. The thing the IQ idiots always get wrong is that your ability to learn is irrelevant if you aren't learning anything. A man with a low IQ that reads philosophy books is more intelligent than a man with a high IQ that just argues with people online.

someone thats smart enough to know that books are fuckin stupid is smart as hell, actually

Isn't the strange other side of this, that toxic masculinity is so extremely awful in much of East Asia that even a generic western dweeb is a pretty good catch in regards to not treating you like crap, respecting career choices, and doing some degree of equal stuff at home? Like if you're a woman from over there?

Granted that falls right the gently caress apart if we're talking alt-right dweebs.

The comic is satire. Japanese women are the same as women in any other country i.e. most don't give a gently caress if you're foreign or not and they can tell if you're a nerd trying to get laid for the first time.

There is a weird psychological thing with foreigners living in Japan and an odd territoriality wrt other foreigners there. It's extremely weird, and it's not just with guys; my now-wife had it too while we were living there and couldn't explain it either, and it seems fairly common from conversations I've had with foreigners who lived or were living there.

None of us made a video about how other foreigners should stay away, though.

there was the same thing when i was in korea. for me it was honestly because there are a high percentage of just plain weird people who are drawn to that kind of work and specifically moving overseas to do it.

i'd often start talking to a foreigner (a western person) and without anything substantive being discussed i'd just get a terrible vibe from them and find an excuse to leave

I like the ones who go to China for the same, but fail to comprehend that unlike Japan, much of China's sexism culture has maybe more in common with southern Europe. Meaning it's sexist as crap, but culturally women are still tough as gently caress and take little to no poo poo. And will eat guys alive who are coming from northern Euro or north American derived background.
Like Japan culturally seems to be "guys macho, women frail", whereas China/Spain/Italy/Greece is more "guys super macho, women also macho".

Yeah, could be a combination of that and the fact that you're fighting this sense of "well, they're the only foreign person you've seen in a while, you have to be friends with them." I wonder if someone based out of somewhere with a greater foreign presence like Tokyo would fare better.

I've experienced this in Cyprus myself, not regarding westerners/white people (Cyprus itself being very ambiguously on that line, and there being Brits and Russians all over anyway). But when running into the very rare other American.
I dunno how to explain it so well either. It's I think some strange result of becoming used to being the Only X in your immediate surroundings, like that becomes part of your identity while there. And bumping into someone and popping that feeling just results in a very bizarre sensation that is offputting. Not hostility, just some kind of brain confusion maybe.

Clearly as you say these sort of dudes are on some other poo poo.

Yeah, the closest way I can describe the uncomfortable body sensation it gives is that it's probably what a cat feels when something encroaches on its turf and its tail gets super-puffy.
