  • I attribute intelligence to not just solving problems but also possessing rational, critical and logical thinking. If any one of those qualities is missing or more than one, yeah someone is absolutely dumb.

    I admit I’m not any smarter, I mean, I don’t have much in the way of presenting anything I know academically, but I still am smart in other ways.

    I’m just proud that I’m smarter than 71 million people in my country, so that’s a pat on the back.






  • Self-diagnosing in general is dumb. That’s why Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD even and even Autism are seemingly record levels.

    It’s discrediting actual sufferers and once again putting them under the rug. It pisses me off when I see bodycam videos, right away, the person arrested immediately starts going over a laundry list of mental issues that they have. All the while screaming, resisting arrest and shit.

    Then we got armchair psychologists and therapists on the internet who practice without a license (or knowledge) that actually “grants” people these issues after just sitting down and having a conversation with someone.










  • No.

    People are all okay with it until the disabled child grows up and they have to spend two or three times the amount to tend to that child. And have to pay more. And have to go through so many obstacles just to support and keep that child going.

    Every disabled child I’ve ever seen in my life, whether it’s from down syndrome types to ones stuck in a chair for the rest of their life with abnormalities. I can’t help but feel absolute pity and wonder exactly what they’d be thinking if their brains were normal enough to have them speak. I don’t think they’d be wishing to continue living. They’d either want to die or have a different life where they’re normal like everyone else.

    And I think it’s absolutely cruel for parents to keep them living like that.



  • I don’t think it’s 1984 but more so Brave New World.

    Because in Brave New World, Huxley’s worries were that we’d be drowning in irrelevancy from the truth.

    But to be honest, in the past two decades that I’ve paid attention to society and how it functions. We’re living in a mish-mash of Brave New World and 1984 together. There is no strict side that we’re living in, unless it depends where you are so I’m referring to America, but it’s both of the worst of worlds from either case.



  • Dollar Tree is also great for getting things that are absurdly marked up in price everywhere else. Like Scissors, office supplies, some toiletries and even great for getting things you do intend to dispose of because you don’t want to ruin the better quality version of that item.

    Getting food from Dollar Tree is more misses than hits. Yeah you’ll see frozen vegetables but almost no frozen fruits. Tons and tons of freaking junk food like chips, energy drinks, soda, candy and other junk. But I still don’t knock them because some of the food available at all, are good to make dinner meals out of to stretch rations with.
