Just pointing out that phones don’t really do as much as we think they can for us.

What? Are you sure you know what a psychopath is? It has nothing to do with IQ.

I didn't claim it did. I did claim that 1) you rant like one, and 2) you aren't as smart as you think you are...let's do this IQ thing. You brought it up, not me

Hope everything is going well for you. I’ve seen your posts elsewhere and I do enjoy them. Hope our season doesn’t turn out to be the disaster I think it might be.

Football? It will. That’s who we are now

Basketball? I’m feeling pretty good about our outlook.

Baseball? Will probably be disappointing

I know where I stand as it pertains to relative IQ. You won’t ever solve it on a message board. But the thing I have in my corner is I know I’m right. And you just think you are. Well over 99% of the population can’t touch me in that department. But there are other types of intelligence. Not just straight logic and pattern recognition. IQ is a bland idealization of what intelligence really is. But frankly, it’s wrong. Pure intelligence is much more broad than it cares to entail in it’s own premise.

But I do wish you the best, wherever you are. Let’s help our friend solve his technological dilemma. Outside of that we just look like petty, bickering fools. And who wants that?

Outside of the Predators and Tottenham, my teams don’t have a prayer of winning anything this year.

Preds are winning the Cup.

With Rodgers the Pack always have a chance (I actually own 1 whole share)

Don’t give a f*** about soccer (and I’ve tried).

Tottenham ain’t winning **** this year outside the FA cup (MAYBE). Premier League is already out of reach for everyone. And it would take a miracle to win the Champion’s League.

I love Green Bay. But we need defense to win another ring. We’re so far gone in that area, it physically hurts.

And I have faith in the Preds this year. I’m just trying not to jinx them. I really think we have a shot this year.

Ok Chuck. You brought up IQ, not me. Like I said, we can take that challenge together or not, I really don't care. As far as our friend goes, I would suggest he just gets off of social media. He doesn't need to throw away his phone to do so.

How would you suggest we take that challenge? If it even is a challenge. I’ve been tested three times in adulthood and the results have all been similar. I know where I’m at.

What does it matter anyway? IQ is just a number. We’re all much more than that. Intelligence is more than a number.

Your words..."
yet I outnumber them even more by sheer IQ percentage." Good luck bud, you're a top notch troll. I know where I'm at too.

Been thinking about it for awhile but I think I'm about ready to go back in time with a flip phone. I hate those people that are on their smartphones 24/7 and sadly I've become one of those people..lol...looking at a Kyrocera DuraXV flip phone. Military grade rugged phone with a few nice bells & whistles but nothing amazing. This way it'll limit my "online" time to my tablet at home after "family time" Anyone else made the switch back?

I think about it every month when i pay that bill. If someone would have told me years ago that i would be paying that kind of money for a phone I would have laughed and told em they were crazy.

Sure man, I’m a troll. Just look at my post history. It’s gotten troll written all over it.

Or maybe I’m just an unstable, self-depreciating, pseudo-narcissist with a high IQ and a history of severe clinical depression and extremely traumatic events beyond my own control. But hey, you’re the genius right?

Just need to watch which network the phone works on. Verizon will be shutting down their CDMA (1x and 3G) networks next year so if that's your carrier, make sure you get the LTE (4G) version.

Not sure what you are getting at here other than ranting like a psychopath, but since you brought up IQ...let's do it.

166 before 21 when I started a decade of massive drug abuse..


144 is the highest I've scored lately..the old noodle is a lot soggier than it used to be 😁

Where can you still test it? I only took it once as a teen. Scored 140 ...ditto on the massive drug use before growing up, family, Christ,several severe head traumas...

Edit...definitely not trying to be "that guy" or get in an internet pissing contest...I am no Rhodes scholar.

In fact, despite a 140 IQ, many moons ago, and being honored at Duke university for breaking 1000 on the SAT as a 12 year old, I dropped out of HS after football season was over in 11th grade and started a family. I got a GED immediately, but never walked with my HS class. I tried to go to college at night but couldn't keep it up working construction. I have had to educate myself for the last 20 years by reading voraciously...and pursuing the things that interest me. That's why I am interested in retesting...I want to see how well I have kept up or not. I have been around some truly brilliant people in my youth in spelling bees and the math team, as well as adults. I know i am not Einstein...I really have no regrets though. God has been very good to me.
Just didnt want to come across as a knowit or something. I really would like to see just for fun how far I have regressed, I thought IQ being a quotient was your mean score divided by your age, if thats the case I think my score may be much lower now...it would be very much geared towards 20 to 22 year olds...
