So hungover this morning I accidently wore two different shoes (1 Viewer)

So you can only be a genius if you are rich? We are just going to dismiss geniuses born poor or with a complete lack of social skills to ever be successful?

 

[Conanthecontrarian]

I've been living in poverty my entire life. Why would I know what it is? 

this should be your opening line when you apply to live in the UK.

 

[RokNRole]

It's so sad that you still live off of that and believe it. It would be better for you to face reality.

You don't know what my reality is

 

[Nugget]

What has genius status gotten you so far?  I would consider bringing it up less and listening to others more often.

No. A genius takes that gift and makes something of it. Somehow, someway.

 

[rogwadd]

Just one example. I dare you. I double and triple dog dare you.

 "Canned drugstore advice" count as just one example?  Just wondering, sounds universal to me.

 

[RokNRole]

I take the advice I can take. Not all advice is within a persons means. Can you provide one example of valid advice I would be capable of taking that I ignored?

 

[jamny]

You don't know what my reality is

Well, it seems like we all do unless you are lying in this thread.

 

[RokNRole]

No. A genius takes that gift and makes something of it. Somehow, someway.

Is this anything more than your opinion? Are you a genius that understands the isolation and depression that comes with it?

 

[Rattle and Hum]

Is it possible you lost your job because of how much time you spend on your phone? 

Sounds like a ####ty company but just something to think about?

If I was at a job where I had stuff to do rather than sit around I wouldn't be on my phone.

 

[RokNRole]

Can anyone provide a single example of any advice I dismissed for other than valid reasons?

 

[RokNRole]

What's your point?

 

[jamny]

Is this anything more than your opinion? Are you a genius that understands the isolation and depression that comes with it?

No, but I know that most intelligent people don't refer to themselves as geniuses. Mostly those that really aren't do.

 

[RokNRole]

No, but I know that most intelligent people don't refer to themselves as geniuses. Mostly those that really aren't do.

Once again

is this anything other than your opinion? How many geniuses do you know?

 

[Conanthecontrarian]

Umm fellas, i think at this point we are just feeding the troll/ attention ho and helping him keep his thread on the first page.

Good point. Better to let him wallow in his greatness.

 

[squistion]

Not wearing a condom and being emphatic that withdrawal is an effective means of birth control, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary.

 

[RokNRole]

So because every genius isn't proclaiming so in the media you really believe they don't think it?

 

[rogwadd]

Not wearing an condom and being emphatic that withdrawal is an effective means of birth control, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary.

 "Canned drugstore advice" count as just one example?  Just wondering, sounds universal to me.

 

[jamny]

Once again

is this anything other than your opinion? How many geniuses do you know?

None. There are some people on this board that I consider extremely intellectual and above my comprehension on many matters.

You have never been in that realm. You're a regular guy, just like me.

 

[RokNRole]

Not wearing a condom and being emphatic that withdrawal is an effective means of birth control, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary.

The evidence points to it being extremely effective. Where are you getting your data?

 

[RokNRole]

None. There are some people on this board that I consider extremely intellectual and above my comprehension on many matters.

You have never been in that realm. You're a regular guy, just like me.

You only think that because most are judged by wealth. But wealth is no measure of a person.

 

[Nugget]

I take the advice I can take. Not all advice is within a persons means. Can you provide one example of valid advice I would be capable of taking that I ignored?

Don't drink and drive?

 

[RokNRole]

Don't drink and drive?

I took that advice and I haven't driven drunk since that day I talked about it.

 

[jamny]

None. There are some people on this board that I consider extremely intellectual and above my comprehension on many matters.

You have never been in that realm. You're a regular guy, just like me.

Whose talking about money? I'm talking intellect.

 

[RokNRole]

You people think I call myself a genius proudly. I actually feel it's a curse and I hate being intelligent. I would give anything not to have these thoughts running through my head every day.

 

[rogwadd]

The evidence points to it being extremely effective. Where are you getting your data?

Maybe we're getting somewhere.  You think you might be infertile

 

[RokNRole]

Whose talking about money? I'm talking intellect.

If I was rich you would have a different opinion of me. You base my intellect on my wealth.

 

[jamny]

You people think I call myself a genius proudly. I actually feel it's a curse and I hate being intelligent. I would give anything not to have these thoughts running through my head every day.

You aren't intelligent. You're kind of a dummy.

 

[RokNRole]

You aren't intelligent. You're kind of a dummy.

In the realm of social IQ I would absolutely agree with you. The difference is you judge my intelligence on my social IQ which is false.

 

[jamny]

If I was rich you would have a different opinion of me. You base my intellect on my wealth.

I have no idea if the people that I respect on this board have money or not. I just know that they are intelligent.

 

[RokNRole]

You mentioned two billionaires as being geniuses.

 

[jamny]

Dude. It's a big hurdle for you. You need to get over yourself. You are like me and most of us. Just plowing through life hoping to make something of ourselves.

Good luck.

 

[jamny]

I was talking about posters on this board.

 

[RokNRole]

I was talking about posters on this board.

If everyone is correct and I'm severely mentally ill, does that make me a dummy? 

or could that make someone appear appear to be a dummy to normal people not suffering from mental illness?

 

[squistion]

The evidence points to it being extremely effective. Where are you getting your data?

Your evidence, as I recall was the anecdotal, I ain't got no kids...which is hardly scientific. There are literally millions of children alive today because their mom was told that she could not get pregnant if her partner practiced withdrawal.

And if you want some actual data, here is some from Planned Parenthood, which probably is a bit more knowledgeable on the subject than you are...

https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/withdrawal-pull-out-method/how-effective-is-withdrawal-method-pulling-out

How effective is the pull out method?

The better you are about using the pull out method correctly — keeping any ejaculation (cum) away from the vulva and ###### every single time you have sex — the better it will work to prevent pregnancy. For every 100 women who use the pull out method perfectly, 4 will get pregnant.

But pulling out can be difficult to do perfectly. So in real life, about 27 out of 100 women who use withdrawal get pregnant every year — that’s about 1 in 4.

The reality is withdrawal isn’t as effective as other types of birth control, but it’s definitely better than not using anything at all. And pulling out can be easily combined with other methods to give you extra pregnancy preventing power. Using withdrawal AND condoms together, for example, gives you pretty excellent protection against pregnancy.

I may have similiar goals and desires in life but I have a very different than you and most of the planet.....and I mean that in a mostly bad way but it's the truth.

That's because most men don't pull out properly.

Who is saying you are severely mentally ill? Believe me, my wife thinks I'm a dummy on many occasions and in many instances, it's true. We all are. You aren't special.

Many people have suggested it on here and I don't necessarily disagree with them.

 

[jamny]

Meh. Most of them have their own problems. You're a regular dude. You got it better than living in a desert in Africa with flies all around your head.

 

[squistion]

That's because most men don't pull out properly.

And for those that do - for every 100 women who use the pull out method perfectly, 4 will get pregnant. Compare that to other forms of contraception, such as with men who always wear condoms or women who use the pill.

 

[RokNRole]

How do I find out if I'm really severely mentally ill? Any psychiatrists on here that could figure it out with some info?

 

[rogwadd]

So now we're experiencing discrimination towards geniuses?

 I don't have to I know what works for me. And conforms suck.

Guys, old Rok is gobbling up all these posts like PacMan right now. #musthaveattention

Spoken like a someone with a genius IQ of 176.

Yes, who cares what the facts are or what the scientific data is, the only thing that really counts is your personal experience (despite it being a small sample size).

 

[rogwadd]

Not a big fan of @squistion but have to agree with him here.  Maye you're infertile?

I don't actually really care about the data either way. I don't like the way condoms feel.

Then everyone can rejoice I suppose
