There are different types of intelligence tests, sure. What I was talking about was IQ tests.

But yes, I do hate intelligence tests, they have a long history of reinforcing systemic racism.

Mensa has long been the benchmark for high IQ societies.

Go take their sample IQ test. It is only pattern recognition.

Unfortunately this is the norm.

IQ tests are interesting, because they’re mainly a test of pattern recognition.

However, knowing how the patterns are formed, can easily net you +10 points on an IQ test.

It’s a shit way to determine “intelligence”.

Some people might score highly, but are socially inept and unmotivated, meaning they have a lot of raw power, without having the mental capability to channel it productively, which is pretty fucking stupid.

Then you get people like Musk and Trump, who are both highly motivated people, despite being dumb as rocks. Yet, our geniuses can’t figure out how to mitigate their stupidity.

Yeah, there are a lot of low IQ dickhead out there, must be genetic or something.

Debating what intelligence is, is such a circle-jerk.

The term is so broad, that it encompasses aspects like motivation, memory retention capacity, memory recall rates, differentiates between verbal, spacial and emotional intelligence, and occasionally veers into scientific racism.

It’s a fucking shit show. The comment sections of posts about intelligence are generally toxic because people end up talking past each other.

Imagine if you released your entire fucking thirty year old library.

🤦‍♂️

Then I’ll willingly die drowning in fluids

But I’m THIRSY

• The Raid 1/2
• Everything Everywhere All at Once
• Whiplash

• The Godfather III
• The Matrix Revelations
• Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith.

Without Kojima, I don’t trust Konami to not fuck this up.

Star Rail players: “first time?”

Detailed completionist checklists.

If I have cleared an area, I want to have it reflected in an overview screen.

If I’m missing an item, I want to know which enemy drops it, where I can find it, or how I can craft it.

If I need to pull out my phone to check a wiki, then the game has failed me.

There’s something to be said for exploration games, and in those cases, the details should be obscured until the player has cleared 90% of the area, or gotten past the boss (or something like this).

“Its not Fallout New Vegas 2”

Yeah, no shit, who passes up the opportunity to call “Fallout Newer Vegas”

Elon, hire me to fix your setup bud…

Also, to play your videogames because you’re shit at them.

I think any Lemmy community would embrace the notion, regardless.

I tried to control my laughter in front of my Trump loving father, but hearing him reply to the question “[how do you know it’s DEI’s fault]?” with “[it’s totally possible]” sent my sides into orbit. That’s elementary school level rhetoric.

How does this even make sense? Either someone is qualified to fly a plane or not. It’s simply not about employing someone for the sake of diversity, if the requirement is a pilots licence.

But it gets at an even more stupid point. Obviously Trump wants white men flying planes, because in his mind they’re the best at doing that job. Any other demographic performing that role is part of the woke mind virus or some shit.

By my definition, family is who you treat like family.

I’ll certainly agree that phones shouldn’t be tolerated at the cinema, and ushers should instruct people to put their phones away.

Though, at home, people can do what they want.
