You Can Tell Someone’s Highly Intelligent If They Complain About Lack Of Intellectual Stimulation

Published by Jenni Sidey

You may be wondering what the fuss is about when it comes to having a high IQ. After all, having one doesn’t predict success, and it certainly doesn’t make life easier. Some could argue that being highly intelligent is not a blessing at all. There are definitely benefits that come from having high intelligence, but downsides exist, too. Someone with a high IQ might have been able to ace standardized testing back in the day, but there’s also a chance that they struggle with finding their place in society as an adult. Highly intelligent people are neurodivergent in their own way because they feel under-stimulated. Clinical psychologist Dr. Angelica Shiels explained that although being super smart is often coveted, it can lead to problems later down the road. “Having an exceptionally high IQ is a type of neurodivergence that can influence both your relationships and mental well-being,” she theorized. During Shiels’ psychological education, she was required to administer IQ tests left and right. As dull as those tests were, they did help measure how our …

Andrew ‘has done nothing but complain’ as investigation continues | Royal | News

Published by Sam Flores

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of doing nothing but complaining since his exile to Sandringham. Writing in the Daily Mail, royal expert Robert Hardman blasted the former prince for dragging his family through the ‘most tumultuous’ period since the abdication. The former prince was arrested on Thursday morning on suspicion of misconduct in public office following the latest release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew – who has not been charged by police – has denied any wrongdoing over his links to the convicted sex offender, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations. Andrew was stripped of his title last year and evicted from his mansion on the King’s Windsor estate, but according to a source, he has “done nothing but complain” about his treatment rather than reflecting upon his own role in the scandal. Hardman adds that the ongoing controversy over the former duke’s relationship with Epstein and time as trade envoy continues to leave “an indelible taint on the reign of his brother and the memory of his mother.” Hardman …

Inside the ICE Forum Where Agents Complain About Their Jobs

Published by skeptic

On a forum with over 5,000 members claiming to be current and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, users vent their frustrations and concerns about the agency as it has become the center of public ire. “I’m all for removing illegals, but snatching dudes off lawn mowers in Cali and leaving the truck and equipment just sitting there? Definitely not working smarter,” wrote one user. The forum contains posts dating back over a decade and describes itself as an “unofficial forum for current Deportation Officers, prospective applicants and retired Deportation Officers to have a platform for discussion.” In posts viewed by WIRED, users complain of long working hours, limited overtime pay, incompetent leadership, and poorly trained new recruits. Forum users do not need to show proof of their employment to join, and the platform does not appear to be heavily moderated. WIRED has not confirmed the individual identities of these posters, though the forum is one of several related forums where people working in different parts of DHS …

Calling a woman a “Karen” has arguably been one of the biggest insults of the last decade. Since reaching peak popularity in 2020, the slang term has been used to describe a woman (typically belonging to Gen X, though occasionally applying to a young Baby Boomer or Millennial) who is considered entitled and privileged because of her behavior and the way she impacts those around her. In 2019, a viral meme coining the term was created, based on a 61-year-old voice coach, Karen Van Hook, from Boston, Massachusetts. The photograph showed a middle-aged white woman with straw-blonde hair cropped in an asymmetric bob, alongside the text: “I would like to speak …
