There is some bliss in having a universal personal pronoun w/o grammatical genders whatsoever (ő) in a languange (hungarian). Often you can even omit it altogether from a sentence.

But let’s not mention the many cases…

Yes, luckily they werent successful adding gendered words to the hungarian language in the 19. century.

I’m so sick of all these people with their clearly superior languages showing how stupid my one is

That’s because in their mind, 75 is bigger than 105.

The quarter pounder has more meat than the third pounder because 4>3.

It’s a universal rule that anyone who references their supposed IQ like this is at most half as smart as they think they are

Over the summer while waiting for my mother at one of her apts I decided to take an iq test out of curiosity, one of those free online ones that seemed legit but who knows.

I got 144 or something? I think 145 was the cut off for genius? I remember being a point below the cut off.

Anyway. The point isn’t to brag, but to say that like you, i am almost certainly autistic (but mid 30s female who wasn’t a disruptive child so I can’t be!) and I’ve only held down minimum wage or close to it jobs my whole life. Despite having an education and being “smart” my personality pisses people off. Especially in “real” jobs.

I’m also constantly called a know it all derisively but I’m sorry when I was a kid I was left alone and none of the other kids played with me so I read encyclopedias (and later Wikipedia) for fun.

Unfortunately I’m smart enough to know mentioning my IQ at the very least makes me come off as a pretentious prick. But I would REALLY love to just win arguments by simply having a higher IQ than sb else.

Nobody ever wins arguments, thats why ive mostly stopped having them. Sometimes, with a lot of long and patient DISCUSSIONS you can maybe bring someone around to seeing your point of view, but in an argument all sides just end up thinking the other is an asshole.

They are in the 15th percentile. So they think they are in the top 15%

As someone with a below-average IQ of 123, i can say that IQ doesnt measure how critical you are of your own beliefs

You’re they/them until you couple up, in which case you and your partner split the pronouns between them?
