When you stopped caring about staying in good shape?
  • Used to think the same about myself.

    Got pretty much saved from that pit through sheer fucking luck, you would not believe.

    Pretty much sure though the luck back then wouldn't be enough if I let myself go completely. Maintained myself on 'standby' just out of hope if you know what I mean. And it happened to work.

    Not a solution. Just a thought. Sorry.

  • To the top 1% truly smart people the other 99% are dumb as a box of rocks. But exactly how fucking stupid is that 99% ?
  • I'm not smart enough to look it up myself, but I wonder: how do researchers of population literacy ensure that all test subjects are actually committed to the test? What kind of error would be introduced if most of those people were kind of forced to partake and basically treat it as just another bullshit they have to get through for some reason, not doing anything remotely close to their full ability, just to get over it? Is that possible that simple lack of interest would skew the results?

    It's anecdotal, but most people I know who did not get good grades, write lousy e-mails and such, do just well when they have to. But they don't even think of giving any kind of effort when they know it's not important.

    It's pretty smart when you think about it. I have always looked down on such people, and only recently have realized that it is me who is dumb. Making effort, using time and energy when it does not benefit anyone of anything in one way or another is not often beneficial. They focus on more important things than I tend to, and succeed further in life than me.
