I don't mean any of those, I mean the next Carrington event, that will fry all electronics on the planet, which is essentially the end of the world as it exists today, and the death of almost all humans (mostly from killing each other over resources, though the way that things have been set up, a lot may be killed from the inside, because of the graphene), even if the poles don't shift, causing massive floods and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and extreme climate.
People will survive, though, just not many. And some of the worst people are some of the best-prepared, for that.
I admire your ability to do that without putting it off for at least half a year while thinking "websites are pointless, the world is gonna end anyway". Like me!
"If you do what you're told, you'll get rewarded."
Low IQ: "But I don't wanna", and then maybe steals the reward.
Very high IQ: "That is clearly a lie because of this data and this evidence and following those orders would clearly be detrimental for myself and the world. Fuck your stupid monkey treats."
Average ~ slightly above average IQ: "Yes sir! Would you prefer to stick your dick in my ass or down my throat?"
Oh, there's another factor. People that are not obedient at all are also more likely to just not give a fuck about the test, especially if they are being made to do it. Definitely happens a lot more in Africa than in Asia. Hell, I have seen Chinese colonizers be frustrated by the Africans' resistance to following orders.
I don't know about that considering that I grew up surrounded by low IQ obedient people, and that people in the world in general have been getting dumber and their IQs have been going down, and yet they also get more obedient. Of course, stupid people are also very easy to manipulate. Even the rebellious ones are easy to control. Just get the TV to say "if you support the government and corporations and cut your dick off, that makes you an edgy rebel", and it should be clear that it works, because that's most of the people identifying as "the left".
Of course, IQ is limited, I don't believe in it very strongly at all, but it's supposed to be pattern recognition, and that is definitely related to intelligence, though it is not intelligence itself, which is immeasurable. Though of course, that is itself limited by the type of pattern recognition tested by the tests. It's basically how good you are at puzzles, that's what it really tests. It's limited, but not useless, since puzzles are a good form of problem-solving.
But one thing that may also change the results is that I think (from what I hear) that plenty of IQ tests ask trivia questions that have nothing to do with pattern recognition, that are just from memorizing things in school. As far as I'm concerned, that makes the result absolutely worthless, and definitely does reward obedient people, because those are the people that give a shit about school. What you know or don't know has nothing to do with raw intelligence. Memorization is not intelligence, stupid people can and do memorize plenty of garbage about celebrities and sportsball.
Also, I think some countries have a lot more cheating than others, from priding themselves on being superior (or just more intelligent) than others. Like China, you would have to be out of your mind to believe a single statistic coming from them. Hell, it is know that cheating is extremely prevalent in China, in every area of life.
Anyway, high IQ doesn't mean that someone isn't an idiot. The people that invented nuclear weapons had high IQs, I'm sure, but were also some of the biggest idiots to ever live. Same goes for people working on a lot of tech in recent times. Really, more intelligence raises the ceiling on how stupid someone can be. Intelligent people can think of much more complex and ridiculous stupid ideas than stupid people.
It takes some intelligence for someone to convince themselves of something as retarded as trannyism, for instance. Someone with a low IQ, that has a very superficial view of the world, would never fall for that. But neither would people that can actually use their intelligence to rationally analyze reality. I think around 100 is the sweet spot for being the perfect low ~ mid obedient slave, while the higher-ranking slaves are a bit higher. From what I hear, success in society (which is all about obedience) correlates to being a bit above average, but not too much.
I hope you're right, but I'm not even that optimistic about humanity. And there is no country where people didn't fall for it, outside of maybe Africa (kinda funny, how the supposedly dumbest continent makes better decisions than the super interligent, big-braned whites and east Asians). Some places just had backlash while others didn't, and in Europe, it definitely wasn't all of Europe. In America, it seems like there wasn't that much going on outside of the big cities, so it didn't get quite as bad on a national level. But they also basically have the UN directly controlling the presidency right now (they don't even have to give orders, they just directly control it, Klaus Schwab might as well be the president of the US), so the restrictions that did exist weren't all lifted. Anyway, never underestimate the weaponized idiot's ability to fall of the same obvious scam for the rest of eternity.
Not sure if you noticed, but they are about to do 2020 again. Exactly the same but worse because now the world is already fucked. Another supposed "pandemic" coming out of China with restrictions that do nothing (and have done nothing the previous time), with China allowing travel and governments staying silent while the media starts setting up a future panic. And retards will fall for it again and doom us all, because we took too damn long to genocide them.
Anyway, 2023 will be the worst year in the history of the world. But it will be topped by every year after it until the world ends. Digital clotshot passports, world digital ID and digital currencies will all begin in the next couple years and will be fully implemented by 2025, with social credit coming in once the systems are in place.
Dogs are better. Most people don't even use the ability to speak freely. They just want to repeat the generic things that they were trained and told to repeat. People have been dumbed down to the point that freedom is a niche interest. That's why they're wherever the hell they are, and not here.
"they bring out their inner monkey behavior and start harassing natives"
This is the kind of thing that makes me think that legalizing murder is a good idea. People from anywhere being obnoxious anywhere makes me think that, but people that go to other places in the world and behave like fucking chimps infuriates me even more, and it happens a lot in Asia. I know that there are plenty of places in Asia where people really hate westerners because of the way that tourists behave. They are making it harder for anyone else to go anywhere, and they turned the entire world into the fucking zoo that it is, with their retarded behavior.
To a degree, people in your own society being obnoxious is your problem, and it's your job to put them in their place and beat the shit out of them until they either learn how to behave or go to hell. Doing it in another culture, though, where people shouldn't have to deal with them at all, is especially bad. Especially when it's almost expected that tourists behave like shit. They feel like they can go to other places and shit them up because they feel like it's not their problem and like they paid for the right to be as subhuman as they want. Disgusting fucking apes. Dump them in the ocean and let the sharks deal with them.
I really, really despise that. What the fuck is the point of living in a country if you're not interested enough in the culture to even learn the fucking language? I say kick them all out. Hell, I'd be reluctant to even go to Japan for tourism, without knowing the language well enough to talk to people, because it's obnoxious AND it limits the experience to the point of not even being worth it.
Of course, PewDiePie gets a pass because he has money, and that's all governments care about. They want people with either money (the rich get exemptions from bureaucracy, travel restrictions and even fuel tax) or degrees and certificates, to prove that they are good slaves that do what they're told. Or to be 60 IQ barbarians that just cross the border anyway with no bureaucracy at all and will follow any orders.
It's the same everywhere in the world. The people that they don't want in, in any country, are people that cannot be proven to be in one of those easily-controlled technology. Even if they know the culture and the language, and sometimes even if they come from a family from that country.
I'll use it. Seems like less of a gamble than going back to Transmission after waiting for the rewrite. It probably checks files correctly. Also, I just remembered why I didn't try it. I installed it at one point, but it came without a man page, so I didn't even bother. Isn't it great when distributions package software with no documentation at all?
There's also an Emacs front-end (Mentor), just like there is one for Transmission. Of course there is, I'd be more surprised if there wasn't. Says that it's still incomplete, though.
Of the ones I recognize, my favorites there are Mimikyu and Maskernya. Actually really like the new starters, other than the water one (which is unusual, because I like water types a lot, and also really like birds, but the first form is a little plain, and the last form doesn't appeal to me). Maskernya is probably the favorite. Though the fire one is great, it's basically a Bubble Bobble character that turns into a big fire alligator, which is awesome. Both of them also have very good hidden abilities.
Fuck hidden abilities, by the way, hate that shit. Just give me the good abilities. Having the bad ability makes me not even want to use the starters. I don't know if you can change a poke's abilities nowadays, but you should be able to if you can't. Hell, a lot of hidden abilities are entirely unavailable in the games themselves, and it's fucking bullshit.
If you play gen 5 now, you can't get the good versions of a lot of pokes because those online minigames are unavailable now. Also impossible to get event-only stuff. Fuck events too, everything should be catchable in the game, and I mean game, because version exclusives are bullshit too, there should be one version of the game, not two, and especially not three. Fuck DLC too. Whole lot of anger in a comment that was initially positive, but that's how it goes with Gamefreak.
