Matthew McConaughey reveals the difference between a nice guy and a good man
"A nice guy gets along. They don't necessarily have discernment or judgment, not sure what they stand for or stand against. It's like yes, yes, yes, sure"
"A good man has ideals that they stand for and they stand against. And when they're tested, a good man is not a nice guy"
"Being a good man is a lot harder for good reason. Not going to be the most popular. Not going to be always the most affable"
"It also doesn't mean you got to be a dick. It just means sometimes you got to go, I believe in this, this is for me, and that is not for me"
"A good man's not looking for trouble. But if it comes, and if something he cares about was trespassed on, a good man does what he can to stop that"
@elonmusk@CommunityNotes I hope this is only when it's actually questionable and not just a note that should have been a comment. Please say that was fixed before this change was implemented. I'll never find a message again it will have a forever notification.
🚨🇺🇸The Senate just killed the SAVE Act, 48-50.
Voter ID and proof of citizenship, supported by over 80% of Americans, dead.
Four Republicans voted no: Tillis, Murkowski, McConnell, Collins.
The uniparty showed its face today...
Le vieux du quartier m’a dit : « N’oublie pas que la boussole a été inventée avant l’horloge parce que la direction est plus importante que le temps. »
As a home builder, we are losing a ton of our workforce because of deportations.
That being said now is the time for our American youth to start stepping up into the trades.
You want money? We need you.
This is not a joke. If we want America first, this is it.
Workforce Pell is revitalizing the American Dream!
Hardworking Americans will quickly gain the skills they need for in-demand, high-earning careers–so they can support their families and power our nation’s economy.
Autistic people get accused of catastrophizing, but a lot of the time we’re not imagining worst case scenarios out of nowhere. We notice patterns early, connect the dots fast, and end up predicting things people would rather ignore until they become impossible to hide.
I used to be a people pleaser and then I realized I never got anything I actually wanted and that my relationships were based on mutual unspoken resentment. So I pivoted to a life of asking for what I want and being seen as an often disagreeable and difficult woman. Much better
Thanks to President Trump’s historic $1.5 TRILLION military investment, our troops will receive the LARGEST pay raise in modern history.
We are also making a GENERATIONAL investment in barracks, military infrastructure, and troop support systems.
America First = Troops First
Intelligent people struggle with addiction. Their minds need more. They have obsessions nobody around them shares. Philosophy. Astronomy. Dostoevsky. Jazz. Quantum physics. Things they know deeply. Things they've gone so deep into that anything else feel like small talk. And small talk feels like suffocation. So... they drink. Work until 2 am. Doomscroll until they're numb. Because there is a gap. A gap between who you are and the conversations available to you. And it's one of the loneliest places a person can live.
Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.
It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.
A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:
Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."
Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.
Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.
Both walk away frustrated.
Both have wasted each others time.
