      Dunno, haven’t measured it since I found out a couple decades ago that it’s not so much a useful tool for assessing intelligence as something invented by and for insecure people with very specialised knowledge to use as a combination status symbol and weapon 🤷

        So what was it when you did lol?

        I got tested as a child, so no idea, but I’d guess the teachers were insecure and used specialised knowledge as a status symbol and weapon, LOL

        Why are you continuing to insult me by saying I’m stupider than you? Sounds pretty weak and insecure to me!

          In many cases, yeah. I’m generally very pro-teacher, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any bad teachers out there stubbornly clinging to debunked systems 🤷

          Why are you continuing to insult me by saying I’m stupider than you?

          Because you keep asking for clarification as if I wasn’t being crystal clear the first time. I’m just having fun humouring you while also mocking you 🤷

          Sounds pretty weak and insecure to me!

          Your constant hounding me about whatever I could possibly mean by calling you neither smart nor clever? Yep, sure does.

            Mate, your first comment to me was an insult.

            So I’ll end it with the same.

              An insult AND an explanation of why the insult was accurate.

              In contrast, your first comment to me was “fuck off poor”

              Look, I found a picture of you!

                You’re not that bright, are you?

                Otherwise you might have known that repeating something that is blindingly obvious to everyone and also completely besides the point is not an effective counter-argument.

                Lol, wealth and income are different things. Besides the point of what? They’re not the same, cretin.

                It wasn’t a counter argument, you fucking tool.

                But keep doubling down, it’s like inception with an idiot.

                  Lol, wealth and income are different things.

                  Congratulations on stating the blindingly obvious a THIRD time, demonstrating that you’re incapable to learn from your mistakes.

                  Besides the point of what? They’re not the same, cretin.

                  They ARE intimately connected, though. According to everyone and everything except for US tax code written by and for the mega-rich themselves, wealth is a result of income, cretin.

                  It wasn’t a counter argument

                  What was it, then? What is your reason for repeatedly stating what everyone always knows, if not to support some kind of point against the fact that extreme wealth and income concentration is a problem?

                  keep doubling down

                  I’m not the one that keeps repeating the same blindingly obvious statement again and again, apparently hoping that it’s going to be super poignant or at least a tiny bit relevant to some secret point THIS time 🤦

                    Lol. Exactly you fucking moron. So it’s already been taxed. So if I invest my taxed income to create wealth, which I’ll get taxed on again if I convert to income, or I die and then it’ll get taxed again. Somehow that’s bad?

                    Just because you’re poor and want what others have doesnt make you superior and morally correct, it just makes you poor like the other 99.9%, and envious to boot. Lol! 🤡

                    Lol, I can’t believe this is the point you condescendingly make over and over, yet don’t understand how wealth and income pay for all the public services… Twat.
