You sound like a very angry lonely person.

That is about what I would expect. I would have to go to the second or third clue in college to get them. The high school stuff was really pretty trivial, and I played in one of the better states (MN). I would guess I generally knew 70% of the questions, maybe more? Of course you don’t always buzz in first.
Are not
No that question is above state level quiz bowl, there are. It questions about wolfram. You need to modulate your answer a bit became they assume high school kids know dick. That is also why the wwii history questions were laughable.
Well that wasn’t the topic of discussion at the time, but it is also what we figured.
Oh no, it was as much or more my fault as my upbringings. I just have an adversarial personality that I didn’t learn to control until my mid 20s. I still honestly have some issues with it, despite a great career I am still terrible at eating shit from bosses, and actually left my firm and started my own company to get…
I honestly didn’t/don’t watch much Seinfeld (or network TV period), what happened?
There is no god.
God forbid we let the facts get in the way of people’s feelings.
“There’s now a controversy brewing online and among the girl’s friends and family over whether the video caused her death.”
I was raised by a single parent who was drunk every day and I developed near zero respect for authority. Skipped class all the time, refused to do any schoolwork except tests, and would get in verbal arguments with my teachers I expected to win (and sometimes did).
My silliest experience was when I asked my girlfriend and her roommate back to my house just after college, and her roommate said yes and my girlfriend said “no”, but also said I was free to go home with the roommate. So I did, (I was stupid and young). Needless to say things did not last long with the girlfriend,…
My girlfriends sister once asked us for advice about threesomes and we said triangles and she got all weird about it. Seemed very odd to us. Why do a FFM threesome if you don’t want to touch the other woman? No wonder she was having trouble making it work.
After reading this I am kind of surprised I wasn’t able to angle some scholarship or something despite my terrible grades. I was hot shit in quiz-bowl in the late 90s in my state.
My high school team was basically me and a bunch of my friends who were mostly there for moral support or because I was screwing them. I think I answered 95% of our questions, I would maybe defer to them a classical music one, or have them double check my math.
It is sort of 6 of one half a dozen of the other. It depends on who you think the audience is. If the audience is meant to be random dumb schlubs, then yeah it is accurate. On the other hand, if the audience is meant to be everyone then it is more than a little belittling to most of the engineers and doctors out…
That doesn’t make for as exciting a story though does it?
Everything is a part of someone’s heritage...
I have known a few dozen professional athletes , and a decent percentage of them are legitimately crazy hyper competitive a-holes whose priorities in life are totally messed up. Some are also pretty normal guys, but it is not common, most have at least one screw loose.
??? It is not even close to the most competite league in sports for the simple fact that height is so important. There are people who can barely play basketball who make the NBA. The skill level is really uneven compared to most major sports because height is like 40% of the game.
