  • This is what I did back in Age of Empires when I was in the second grade.

    In 4v4 I sent moved my builders behind my allies and turtled and never helped them when they got attacked. When they were down I used their ressources to build my army and let them feed me.

    But I lost anyways cause my enemies had 4 players (more army and ressources).

    The only difference is that it was a game, I was 7 or 8 years old and not the president of a huge country.

    Bro is copying my strat and he is also trying to steal team mates ressources, I never did that.




  • This isn’t true.

    Wealthier people like doctors date nurses even if the income gap is larger.

    I’d honestly not date a retail worker either, cause I wouldn’t know what to talk about with them. A doctor can talk with a nurse. A doctor can’t talk with someone who is just selling clothes in H&M.

    A fact: the lower the income, the lower the job requirement is and that means also lower knowledge is required and mostly done by either students who are still studying for a degree to earn some money or well, it’s people who chose to go into that branch and stayed there forever cause of being lazy.

    So to me it depends: is the person in retail working in retail to get money while studying something else (interesting topics can be discussed) or is the person in retail cause"stuck".

    Id rather date someone who learned a job (nurse, trainer, cook, stewardess, police officer,…) than a 40 year old H&M or McDonalds Cashier who actually never studied anything.

    We can cry all we want but the fact is, low income job = low requirement = lower inteliigence = no deep conversations. It’s what it is, I wish it wasn’t like that but it is.

    Do you think a pilot, politician, doctor, engineer, etc. cares if they have a wife who earns less then them? It’s very hard to find someone who will even match their income. They have enough money. They want deep conversations with interesting people and interesting people can RARELY or very unlikely be found if they just work “retail” since 20 years.

    I know a few cool people who are very smart that work retail jobs, but thats like 2 out of 1000. The others are boring people.

    A millionair would also not date a normal average joey with high income, because they are living in their own bubble. Like you won’t even be able to talk with them and they won’t even be able to talk with you, because they are either rich and dumb or rich and super smart.

    I dated someone from H&M and after shift they just played computer games or watched netflix. During dinner she ranted about how her coworker is sick and how busy it was. But that was so boring. Compare that to dating a police officer who can tell you a wild story or a nurse what they experienced or the pilot… you know what I mean?

    Thats my personal take on why I wouldn’t date anyone working only retail or other low income jobs IF NOT STUDYING to make money until they are done. If someone is 25 and still working retail its a red flag for me.

    The biggest thing though is that if you look at the income gaps it doesn’t matter at a specific point. If I’d earn 10k+$/€ a month I’d not care what my new partner is doing. But I’d make sure I find someone interesting and the first place to look would not be in retail.


  • Thats assuming you are applying IQ messurement on the american system and not using AIQ (american intelligence quotient) which is basically the same as IQ, just multiplied by 3.6

    AIQ = IQx3.6

    But yes, your joke is funny, assuming you used IQ as the messurement and not AIQ which is officially used in the united states.

    With that logic, someone who can lift 100 lb is stronger than someone who can lift 99 kg, because we aren’t multiplying lb x 2.2 anymore.

    If someone has an IQ of 120, that means he has an AIQ of 432. So 120 = 432.

    “Room temperature IQ is a far bigger insult in Europe than America.” is still an insult though, since it’s usually about 70°F, way less than 432 AIQ. It’s 362 points below the average AIQ - so an insult.


  • I heard that too.

    But my problem is that if I do regret it I won’t be able to change it. It’s just too risky for me to make a child and just the thought alone of it being a burdon the whole time would be unfair.

    I know it’s likely it won’t be like that and that I might not even regret it. But if I am not 100% for it now, I don’t think I can do it.



  • I work 7 nights, 8 off, 7 nights, 8 off and so on…

    All I can say is that ending my 7th nightshift coming out monday morning it is great to go shopping, it is great to go to the local spa, it is great to basically do any activity cause no crowds.

    The downside is that I am usually the only person low age and rest are retired people. Or my friends that work shifts too and are off, thats great.

    If I wouldn’t have a wife that has only off weekends and works a regular 9 to 5 I’d probably try to work every weekend and take days off monday to friday. Weekends suck imo cause everything is crowded.

    I like to go to the gym monday to thursday, I’m usually alone at 10 in the morning with a few old people doing random exercises. But they don’t block the leg press, the benches and the pull up bars.

    In general I am very grateful for working shifts (especially night) cause more money, less stress at work (quiet at night) and no management. And I can go to the gym when no one is there.

    I have one question about the abortion topic.

    Why is it such a HUGE topic for republicans? Why not let the individual human choose if he/she wants an abortion?

    This is so confusing for me I don’t understand why it is even a topic, like… it’s not my body and just let people do what they want to.

    They should talk about how to have safer sex and pills in earlier grades and just keep the option open.

    It’s not only that… what if you get raped and just want an abortion? Is that also included?

    I am not american, maybe someone can tell me if rape is not included and if you are raped you can still abort though? This whole topic seems off for 2024, this sounds like a 1800s topic.

    Sometimes I think america is so advanced and then I read the news and it’s always about pro guns and banning abortions…
