Pictured: the future of humanity.

Very true, just look at Ben Carson. Supposedly a superb brain surgeon, but totally incompetent as the head of HUD.

‘Intelligence without wisdom can still lead to stupidity’

I worked on a project a few years ago where I was reviewing intelligence testing on kids who had strokes or abnormal brain circulation. One of the most interesting things was reading about the kids who had significant “intelligence” deficits from strokes, but they compensated by being highly sociable and recruiting…

Yeah, the Stanford-Binet IQ Test that groups like Mensa use to select for membership have a really fundamental problem: there’s no clear understanding of what exactly these IQ tests actually measure. It’s literally the “Underpants Gnome Problem”, except in random distribution form. You can test people, and their…

You cared enough to complain before a simple Google search. You care plenty.

Oh my god, Becky, look at her politics. They are so infantilizing. She looks like one of those Republican guys’ girlfriends. Who understands those Republican guys? They only talk to her because she looks like a total pro-gun nut. I mean, her politics, they’re just so infantilizing. I can’t believe they’re just so...…

Bitch you’ve got your due process. Literally. No one lynched your ass, no one shot you or poisoned you, none of the women you violated slashed your fucking throat in retaliation, as many had hoped would happen deep down, even if some were more polite about it and kept that to themselves. You got convicted in a court…

Claiming that any prominent black person supporting Sanders is “dancing on a stage to amuse and entertain white folks” is fucked up.

The only thing Biden has on Bernie is Obama.

Wow, so are we now gonna do to Dr West what we’ve done to Nina Turner? And it’s all being done to promote and justify Joe Biden on the sly? Come on folks!

‘She is doing so because the Democratic Socialist isn’t doing enough to prove he cares about her as much as he does the white working-class man in Iowa’

Don’t forget that show where a couple had sex in a box on stage and then talked about it afterwards. (“Sex Box,” I think? Microsoft might have gotten involved there.)

“In the realm of reality television, there has never been a series quite as bonkers as this one...” Um...

My biggest memory is the show relentlessly playing up the oldest kid as some kind of wise old master who’d had just about every kind of life experience by 15. It was so obvious he was being fed almost all those lines.

I once kept a scam “support” guy on for almost half an hour, insisting that I had set up the remote connection for him to “run diagnostics” on my computer (ie take control and fuck with it), while just going “uh-huh” to his instructions while reading shitposts on here or something. He was getting all annoyed when…

Absolutely no shame in watching this show, this is totally a guilty pleasure for both me and Mrs. bgdawes - it’s one of the few reality TV ‘game’ shows we just haven’t got tired of, along with Top Chef.

Without an ounce of sham, I absolutely love watching this show. America’s 5th Professional Sport!

I am one of the weirdos who still loves The Challenge and I feel the need to point out that Challenge rookie Asaf Goren is not an MTV rookie, as he was on season 4 of Are You The One.
