“As early as the 1920s, researchers giving IQ tests to non-Westerners realized that any test of intelligence is strongly, if subtly, imbued with cultural biases… Samoans, when given a test requiring them to trace a route form point A to point B, often chose not the most direct route (the “correct” answer), but rather the most aesthetically pleasing one. Australian aborigines find it difficult to understand why a friend would ask them to solve a difficult puzzle and not help them with it. Indeed, the assumption that one must provide answers alone, without assistance from those who are older and wiser, is a statement about the culture-bound view of intelligence. Certainly the smartest thing to do, when face with a difficult problem, is to seek the advice of more experienced relatives and friends!”

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times. IQ tests measure how well someone takes IQ tests and that is it.

Good post

I’m torn on this kind of post. Because while I love it when people do stuff for the homeless, it kind of seems like they’re doing it for themselves. True charity is anonymous.

Fuck that. Charity is charity. If you’re starving on the street you’re not gonna give two fucks if you’re asked for a selfie after a guy gives you $50 and a homemade lunch. I do charitable shit all the time but I’m too scared to talk about it because people like you call it humblebragging and stuff. Brag about it, even if you’re only doing good things to get attention you’re still helping people holy shit

Talking about good things you’ve done encourages others to do good things. Humans are a social species, and no matter how much people want to stand out and be unique, there will always be that bit of encouragement to be had in what other people are doing. By spreading around that people are doing something kind, or that you’re doing something kind, it jumpstarts the idea in others’ minds that ‘Oh, hey, I could also do something like this!’ People brag about being douchebags all the time. It’s nice to see people bragging about the opposite.

“When I started my musical career, I was a maid,” she told the audience. “I used to clean houses. My parents, my mother was a proud janitor. My stepfather, who raised me like his very own, worked at the post office and my father was a trash man — they all wore uniforms. And that’s why I stand here today in my black and white and I wear my uniform to honor them.”

these companies that test patience don’t end up paying people what they are worth

xmagnet-o

Yeah employers who do this are incredibly inconsiderate and unprofessional.

This is not a “test of patience”. This is of abuse and manipulation.

I would never want to work for a company/business who thinks my life is a joke

Someone: did you go to class today?

and they’re usually not that brilliant and careful either. 99％ of the time the police are just incompetent! Ted Bundy literally jumped out a window and escaped police custody because they weren’t watching him

A victim literally escaped Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment naked with a hole drilled in his head and unable to speak but police let Dahmer take him back to his apartment like everything was ok!

And I guess he doesn’t count as a serial killer but Eric Harris had already been making threats and harrassing students to an extreme degree before Columbine- police literally had a search warrant but they just never acted on it. If they had, they would have found the guns and pipe bombs and the shooting could have been easily prevented. They even tried to cover this up afterwards.

Serial killers and mass murders are usually not that smart, police have just historically refused to do their actual jobs.

hooray4skeleton

always remember that the “genius serial killer” narrative is a blatant cover for the fact that the police will always look the other way when it comes to white cis men exhibiting blatantly violent and hateful behavior
