Let's be honest, most of us think we're in the blue zone, when we are probably in the red zone

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

No, people in the red zone think they're in the green zone.

Most likely most of us would be in the yellow zone

In order to bother with something like lemmy, you're probably above average intelligence (specifically to do with computers)

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

You can be good with computers but dumb everywhere else, plenty of people like that exist

Sometimes we wish that our impostors syndrome was true

I had to do an official test along with a psychological examination for reasons when I was almost 18 years old, so I know at some point I was in the blue zone or above, but it doesn't really fucking matter when you have autism, a mood disorder and have been neglected by your parents so you never learned things like determination or frustration tolerance. I think I shaved a solid 10 IQ points off anyway from almost a decade of substance abuse issues, so now I'm just autistic and dysfunctional without the gifted part.

Serious question: what kind of drug abuse does it take to shave off 10 IQ points? I've done my fair share and would prefer not to have that happen to me - if it hasn't already.

A ton of amphetamines and other stimulant research chemicals and a fuckton of alcohol. I think probably the latter is mostly to blame.
