M8 thats the complexity of the spectrum lel. Seemingly obvious stuff to you is completely alien to me and paradoxica.

I know virtually nothing of paradoxica's interaction with world beyond what im now learning but yea me personally I am completely stupefied around emotional people and I have no idea what to do.
I know enough and have seen enough to be able to handle mildly emotional people. I still come off as cold sometimes, but most people know that I'm trying my best.

But speaking of cold, what's your 5 most common internal emotions?

okay I don't do this often because I really really hate conflict but I just feel like I gotta



Trump is racist. "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists…"

Trump is misogynistic. "If I were running ‘The View’, I’d fire Rosie O’Donnell. I mean, I’d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say ‘Rosie, you’re fired."

Trump is egocentric. Narcissistic. "The beauty of me is that I’m very rich." "My IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure; it's not your fault."

Trump is doing exactly what America doesn't need right now. In a time where international conflict is on the rise, he is simply adding to it. We need to be uniting - not being divided, which is exactly what he's doing. His tactics involve slander, and inducing fear. He supports discrimination, because it can further his personal agenda. We should be preaching love, and acceptance, or at least tolerance towards one another, but all he does is preach hate, and violence.

This thread right now, is exactly the perfect example for everything he stands for - why are people arguing, attacking each other? There was a disagreement in opinion, but rather than moving on or settling it quietly, it's turned into a heated fight. For what purpose? What reason is there for all this negativity? We shouldn't resort to throwing insults and hurtful comments because we disagree on something. To quote Martin Luther King Jr., "Violence brings only temporary victories; violence, by creating many more social problems than it solves, never brings permanent peace."

Only peace can bring about more peace, only acceptance and tolerance can end discrimination. Don't let this vicious cycle of violence go on, and don't just wait for it to end by itself. We are the ones who can end it. We must preach kindness. We must preach acceptance. We must preach peace.
This video point by point counters what you just said, almost flawlessly

Just making mention of it, not intending as aggression, it just came to mind.

Well actually I realised another thing, my default persona is witty comic and when ppl are depressed and serious I come in and always am joking around, cannot bring myself to feel serious and depressed too. Cant make myself feel what other people feel, I have simply always been the talkative "Robin Williams" type.

Nor do I cry, ever. I got beaten as a kid and looked up at my parents stone faced like "Is that all you've got?" hahahah XD

I feel personal sadness at things but cant really truly feel sad for others, and the sadness I feel is more like quiet thinking about something rather than desire to cry.

My most common emotion is happiness by far, just by default I am always thinking of jokes I read or funny videos ive seen, singing to myself, talking to myself (not in public though, can control myself XD)

Then I'd say contentedness, a quiet "K den" with the world

Then depressed because of my medical issues sigh (well actually its just one issue really, severe hair thinning from roaccutane acne meds which is taking forever to regrow) and my very nihilistic and pessimistic views on a lot of things.

Then fear/anxiety/paranoia at a bunch of things

and eh love I suppose, I recently met most amazing girl ever in Poland and am going to see her in 6 days which is nice, literally nothing else is in my mind or has been in my mind for past several months since I met her last year XD

...That sounds unhealthy. And I've had depression for 5+ years.

Ignore your parents desires. Do what you want to do, not what someone else wants you to do.

I have the benefit of not having tiger parents, but that means I have to take care of myself and I'm in a similar situation as you, lazy, apathetic and unmotivated.

Medical problems? I am glad I don't have anything bad for me in the medical sector of life.



Because people lie, and also there area wide range of emotions to discern from.

Happy? Which kind of happy? satisfied happy? rush happy? (post-s _ _ happy?) There are the emotional groups, subcategories and specifics.

Everything is complicated.
hah XD

Oh another thing I know about myself, when I think about something or am emotionally preoccupied with something NOTHING ELSE will come to mind. Mainly responsibilities hah, eg when i have to go somewhere but am hit by bout of sadness about something I will not move, would rather sit and be sad and think intensely about that thing and be late, than stop my train of thought to make it on time.

Re: April Fools Pranks

Yea I know. I dont care lol, I am not mind blowingly ambitious, and am content living life of regular citizen.

As for why I like trump:

Foreign Policy:

> Let Russia bash ISIS - love the idea that Russia doing you work for you isn't automatically a bad thing.
> Economic safe zone in Syria.
> US should not train rebels.
> Supports Middle Eastern dictators over chaotic Middle Eastern democracies.
> Advocates mutual respect with Russia.
> I don't like that he plays the Iranian bogeyman.

Trade Policy:

> Opposes the TPP.
> Is Protectionist.
> Pro-tariffs.

Immigration:

> Immigration restrictionist
> Anti-illegal immigration which comes into direct conflict with working class White and African-American unskilled labour.
> Asserts a more heavy handed assimilationist policy.

Jobs:

> Prizes local labour and manufacturing
> Downside is he doesn't support an increase in the minimum wage.
Glad to see someone actually has an ounce of sense to actually research his mandate, rather than saying he is "literally Hitler," without stating why...

I dislike Trump the politician as much as anyone, but this is the sort of rhetoric that has led to his growth. Trump has risen to popularity by representing a large portion of the population that feel marginalised by the political process. Much like Pauline Hanson, Trump capitalises on issues which many people agree with but are afraid to acknowledge because they are deemed taboo by those who have a more dominate voice in setting social and economic policy.
That speaks volumes about the society in which we live in presently... To see a form Fascism as a saviour from the "authoritarian regressive left" is quite telling...

Marginalisation promotes extremism. Essentially, the political system in the US and to a lesser extent Australia has marginalised the opinions of many by labelling them as taboo. A perfect example in Australia would be aboriginal welfare - hardly anyone would speak out against it for fear of being labelled racist, but Im willing to bet a great deal many people dont support it.

The lesson from Donald Trump is simple in my view, democracy is meant to represent the opinions of everyone, not just the opinions of those with social and political power. Marginalisation of opinions and by extension people is to be done at a nations own peril.

I think Donald Trump must be stopped, but Im glad he got started because his candidacy has put some very inconvenient truths about the state of democracy front and centre.

holy shit that was tedious

got 141
I don't think it's IQ though
it says Reasoning Index
apparently over 125 is top 5%
Its nonverbal reasoning index, a component of full scale IQ, not full scale IQ itself.

I got 155 averaged for it, so tells u XD

11053409_809974749122280_733051900388481437_n (1).jpg

From psychologist administered tests Ive done I generally get around 160 for nonverbal reeasoning. Much lower for other things lol

141 really good score, congrats :)

High range IQ tests arent timed as you need a minimum level of ability to even begin to understand how to find the solution to the question, and they judge approximate IQ scores off that without need for timing.

For reference I did mensa test and they had something like 45 seconds for 20 questions on some pages of a very long test. Literally they stop and start you on mensa exam like U HAVE 30 SECONDS FOR THIS PAGE
90 SEC THIS PAGE
45 THIS PAGE

fucken intimidating

I actually failed mensa exam idk why, came back 2 years later with official IQ test from my psychologist and they're like "Lol u dun goofed b4, well done tho this time, welcome :)"

(If u fail mensa test u can never sit it again, you can onlyreapply for entry with authorised IQ test from shrink)


Mensa test is simple hence the timing, only very quick thinking and efficient thinking people ie those with top 2% IQ will be quick enough.
