I mean, I’m not going to stop eating it anyways… what else am I supposed to cover my pancakes or waffles with, garbage corn syrup?

Their cybersecurity is dogshit too. If the government can’t keep people from stealing your digital records, no fucking way that gimmeDNA.com is going to do a better job.

Hate to break it to you, but there were 100% innocent people held at CIA black sites for years without any charges, evidence of wrongdoing, or legal means for the persons detained to regain their freedom.

I can remember hearing years ago that a bunch of them were literally just business rivals or personal enemies of the ones who accused them and collected rewards for turning in Taliban/Al-Qaeda terrorists. Imagine your IRL least-liked person phoning a foreign government and making shit up about you, then getting $5-10K and you’re stuck in a windowless cell blasting Slipknot for more than a decade afterward. Someone just * snaps fingers * and you disappear from your life after getting pulled into a panel van.

Laying down doesn’t save them anymore? Never has.

“Fittin’ three cheesebugers into his face at the same time.”

Brief and to the point. You got the Expedited Critical Info Only plan hahaha

Not my OC, it could be. If you say it’s Victoria I’ll take your word for it.

It depends, I think. Not everyone on the spectrum is a Shake & Bake egghead with complex math pouring out of their ears. That doesn’t stop people from pinning it to their chests as a badge of pride though, even if it’s only self-diagnosed.

LMAO

The man doesn’t look like he could take a flight of stairs without shitting his pants. I think that the definition of “fully fit” has loosened.

“I have autism. No, not the kind that used to get you locked in asylums and sterilized, the kind that has careers and scientists like Bazoopers Big Bang character. I can’t even buy a Corvette to trick tradwifes into marrying me. No, I don’t have a diagnosis, but I did get 120 on my IQ test™.”

He judged, I think accurately, that they weren’t willing to relinquish the funds needed to * checks notes * assassinate the elected leader of a global superpower? Holy shit, and he’s so much of a Nazi that he sees Trump as a reasonable candidate for left-leaning targets? Who the fuck did this kid think he was, fucking Giga Hitler?

I’ve heard it explained as practical intelligence vs. abstract intelligence. Understanding calculus won’t help you frame a house, produce slate tiles for its roof, cast the iron for a potbelly stove that keeps it warm, etc., but it will help to calculate the trajectory of a space probe that your country is using to investigate an asteroid, or tap the stock market, do your own taxes without error, strategize saving/investment for your retirement, calculate the dimensions for a culvert that keeps a property from flooding, etc.

It’s debatable, see @Gustephan@lemmy.world’s comment below, they’re pretty close to the common consensus.

Solid take, I hear more people saying this whenever it’s discussed. Although it’s a pretty decent measure for natural intellectual capacity, a lot of that potential isn’t wholly practical even in modern society. Good for studies, math, science and Mensa, not so useful for nearly everything else.

You can get a prescription for ketamine? Jesus Christ, and this whole time I’ve just been using coffee, alcohol, tobacco, hash, and whatever psychedelic I can get my mitts on…

Huh, TIL that he was into K. I thought that he was just an oddball because of his weird upbringing and fuckwad entitled bourgeois attitude.

I’m not as familiar with the whole theology involved, but still am pretty sure he’ll have to weather a few cycles as whatever multi-legged miniature vermin that insects eat before he can break back into the mammalian strata. He can’t possibly be acting like such a gigantic piece of shit accidentally, can he?
