What has Trump done to this country?

The way I've got it figured, if yer smart enough to be happy, that should be good enough, if you are smart and unhappy, then there is a way to become so, it also works if you are stupid, but you are unlikely to appreciate it's value, but it works none the less.

Dealing with a massive dick is not something I usually have to deal with, though I do have my methods.
Personally, I think the dumber you are, the happier you are.
He/she will be ignorant to the fact they're getting fucked over, just like the vast majority of Trump supporters
Age old saying, "Ignorance is Bliss"
Never a truer statement made.

You do have a point, I have run across some happy idiots and some rather unhappy clever assholes too.

How'd you know that?
When I took showers after gym/sports they were all in awe.
I'm famous in my class of 1974, Stepinac Catholic High School in White Plains, NY.
You can probably Google me, using Jimdamick#massivepenis :) :) :)
Just a wild guess. My assistant at work, last name Dyck was well endowed and as a young man Lenny's Hammer (Thor's hammer) was legend. They used to say Lenny made em squeal or so I've heard from his buddy's, he was from Winnipeg and I only knew him from work. Lenny had bad health and I had him doing routine data entry, most of the ARR billing and generally took care of him, a nice guy, but in constant pain.

Being smart or even rich is not important, being happy is though. If you were rich and moved into a beautiful new condo on the 100th floor of some luxury tower, but were unhappy. The only thing that would interest you about the place is finding a window to throw yourself out of. Most of the people who commit suicide are probably above average intelligence and are depressed, they try to use the wrong tools to solve their problems, the regular cognitive problem solving tools and they are not the right ones for dealing with emotional issues, especially depression.

There are plenty of testing sites online, that was just off the top of the google results. If you are curious about such things there are resources available online. IQ is a predictor of academic success, but there are many other factors that go into a successful life, there are a lot of things an IQ test does not measure, character for instance.

During WW2, most of the US ground army had sub 100 IQs, everybody was tested on induction, the army airforce and navy got the cream of the crop. Those who could be trained to a high level of technical proficiency, for roles like medical people, radiomen and even auto mechanics, special and airborne troops were also often above average.

Aptitude testing was found to be a very efficient use of man power and human resources and many companies adopted it too after the war.

One other thing, in most IQ tests your total score is divided by your age, hence the quotient part. You're are actually smarter than a kid! Dividing your total score at say 60, is a bit different than dividing it by 20! :wink:

I saw that, and there are sites at universities and others with not so many strings attached, the web is full of resources. It shouldn't matter so much to older folks, we know who and what we are, at least some do, the young are often more interested in such things.

Donald is the kiss of death, it wasn't that long ago he was at a MAGA rally on stage with Donald and misfortune followed, I wonder if he will get covid too. A bad day for Blacks for Trump, maybe Donald will pardon him? The base might not like it though...

Lil Wayne Hit With Federal Weapons Charge, Faces Max Sentence of 10 Years If Convicted

Lil Wayne has received a federal weapons charge in connection with a December 2019 plane search in Florida.

Per TMZ, who reported on the charge on Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida has charged Weezy with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. If convicted, the sentence could be as high as 10 years. A court appearance is slated for December.

With the plane's search, which occurred ahead of its final stop in California, Miami-Dade police were acting on what the Miami Herald said at the time was "a tip about weapons and marijuana." Federal agents were alerted in order to secure a search warrant to give the private plane a look at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.

In a statement to Complex on Tuesday, Weezy's attorney Howard Srebnick explained that his client has been charged for "possessing a gold-plated handgun" in his luggage while traveling on the plane. Srebnick also highlighted the fact that there is "no allegation that he is a dangerous person."

Here's the statement in full:

Carter is charged with possessing a gold-plated handgun in his luggage on a private plane. There is no allegation that he ever fired it, brandished it, used it or threatened to use it. There is no allegation that he is a dangerous person. The charge is that because he was convicted of a felony in the past, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Although the Supreme Court has not yet decided the constitutional question, Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently wrote an appellate dissenting opinion in which she stated that “Absent evidence that he either belongs to a dangerous category or bears individual markers of risk, permanently disqualifying [a convicted felon] from possessing a gun violates the Second Amendment."

50 Cent couldn't wait for an opportunity to address Wayne. On Instagram, he told him to try and get Trump on the phone before he leaves office.

Dunno too many old folks who are interested in IQ tests, it's for the young, those with life ahead of them. Scams often involve other topics and outright fraud like trying to obtain information to steal money, the phone is a bigger source and they target old people using big data. Americans have few data law and privacy protections and it has political consequences when you have hundreds of megabytes of data on every person, you can predict their behavior and manipulate them. It has two aspects, accumulating data and then having the means to use it and social media provides a direct route for foreign governments to talk directly to citizens.

Foreign enemies are not nearly as big a problem for America as domestic ones. Just because someone is a citizen, does not mean they are not an enemy of the constitution and the rule of law, it's just harder to kill them legally.

what you speak of is done in a professional psych setting not online..you don't need to know your IQ, those that do is because behaviors required the assessment. IQ assists the professional during assessment.

IQ = Intelligence Quotient = how well you learn not how smart you are.

Sorry man, but that is some of the dumbest shit I have read from you. But that is only because I didn't see your post recommending someone take Trump's snake oil.

You don't think that right wing billionaires who have gobbled up the failing news papers and radio stations of the midwest states and others, subtilty changed the editorial content and filled the radio airwaves with hate propaganda, are not an issue? America has been under sustained propaganda attack from with in for over a decade, by people like Murdoch, the Kock brothers and the Sinclair broadcasting group among others. The wealthy are so wealthy in proportion to society a few people can control vast swaths of American media. They have a herd of believers and the only objective for them is impleading social and political change so they pay less taxes and can have more "freedom". The GOP was complacent in this game of stealing democracy for over a decade too, partners in fact with a vast private right wing media propaganda machine.

They just took advantage of existing social divisions and issues in America and helped to create the "culture wars". They mostly just told people what they really wanted to hear, things they were conditioned to.

Putin and others add to and embellish an enormous amount of bullshit generated by Americans for Americans. What do you think led to the rapid growth and now radicalization of theses media sources? Fox is no longer crazy enough, the audience want more confirmation of pre existing biases, though not directly. The walls of their information bubbles are growing thicker If you can gain the senate and even if you don't, those bubbles need to be burst or you face the doom of two realities. Some people want to coddle and chase these fools down the rabbit hole of unreality, out vote them or die, is the way I see it.

They are at war with you and they have created a vast army made up of your friends and relatives, they always had the moral failings, we all do at one level or another. The information bubble is causing them to become radicalized like Islamic terrorists are online, this time it is political terrorism. Trump was the bomb they wore to commit suicide with while burning down the shining city on the hill, so the "others" wouldn't get some. They were wielded into a tribe by fear, a church almost and Donald was the pope.
