@3xcalibaneur I've long thought the woman cartel is a better explanation for most of what is attributed to "intrasexual competition". For example, a girl telling her friend to get that ugly haircut, disdain for age gaps or "pick-mes", fat positivity, encouraging trashy dating behavior
@polidemitolog Orban, Fico, etc. are faced with the reality that achieving their ultimate vision would require leaving the EU and such a thing makes so little material sense that they can't really take that next step. They're not crazy so this awkward belligerence is the most they can manage
@Xenoimpulse "The government is slowly transforming into a giant kidney and people in power are afraid to stop it" isn't even a surrealist reframing of the mundane, it's actually just what's happening
@jtalexander it's a good idea for intelligent young people who've fallen short of where they hoped to be in life. The complainers don't want to actually try, for fear of finding out they weren't actually the secret geniuses they thought they were. At some point you just have to try something.
@mean_field_zane@DeltaClimbs@Empty_America DO NOT:
-Seize the levers of power (that's 115-120IQ) π
-Cultivate elite technical skills with access to institutional resources (that's Chinese) π
DO:
-Sephirothpost about how much of a genius you are and how you're going to take over the world someday β οΈ
@Emptier_America Yeah this guy is lying but we're somewhat saturated with perfect or near-perfect test scorers at this point. You still have to actually apply yourself and/or have a support system around you that helps you learn how to direct your potential.
@NDRepublicans Do we really need another puerile, third-rate groyperist rebuttal to this mentality in a discussion space already saturated with better ones? Speaking like this reflects poorly on the institution you represent.
@stinman990@st_louis_stan Truthfully I didn't have to do too much. Bought 2 months of an LSAT prep service that let me drill specific question types. Took about 1 practice test per week in addition to that.
