Im surprised your dog is still alive

Oreos have very very little chocolate

HovaRex posted...

If your dog is puking it up its probably fine. The real danger with chocolate poisoning in dogs comes from dark chocolate. Oreos wouldn't poison them like chocolate poisoning would.

Sounds like the dog vomited from overeating more than anything else.

This is what I think is going on. I'm not with the dog and person watching her can't drive.

I'll just call my friend to drive her.

I don't understand why she tore open sealed bags. She has never done that before

Questionmarktarius posted...

...you probably should have done that 32 hours ago.

Closed on weekends

She vomited twice just now

It's been 32 hours since she ate the cookies. Supposedly 24 hours is max length of chocolate poisoning.

Hmm.

i need to know this for my boards but i can never remember

I would highly suggest you read Angela Duckworth's book called ''Grit: the power of Passion and Perseverence'' which delves into that exact topic with science to back it up. After studying countless cases of high achievers in a wide variety of domains, it was revealed that consistant effort and a solid mindframe are the ultimate factors determining your achievements in life. The higher IQ difference only comes in your favor in the context of the highest competition (in boxing, that would be like being of same skills and weight class but you being taller than your opponent) but in the context of applied intelligence for moderate to high success, resilience is the absolute king.

There are so many factors that determine how well you'd do in life, reducing it to a IQ test is the biggest misunderstanding of how intelligence works and an overly simplistic view of how the workforce actually works. There are sooooo many soft and hard skills that come into play, you cannot seriously make the argument that an IQ test will cover all of it.

I don't think IQ covers it at all. It certainty plays an important role. Resilience is extremely important. I agree, but it's also ironically both a heritable trait and a socioeconomic trait (support system, being taught good coping skills by parents)

Yeah the camera is so bad it's kind of unreal. especially important considering the camera dictates how you block

onion rings are amazing. the problem for me with them is they are basically a full dish themselves. it's like eating two burgers.

It was constructed to predict educational achievement to identify students that would need additional help.

This was done using a statistical method called factor analysis. More or less, it was found that you could reasonably predict global school performance using a single factor which all grades loaded onto, this was called the g-factor.

Then IQ tests were constructed to correlate with this g-factor.

IQ tests are heavily confounded by socioeconomic factors, and once those are accounted for, predicting later success becomes close nill.

There is substantial evidence to show IQ tests have strong genetic components, and are just not socioeconomic.

here is just one study that analyzed a large volume of data

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31378724/

i would suggest you search for yourself on pub med.

This conversation is not the purpose of this topic, at all, and im not going to respond further about what causes IQ. IQ tests are used among clinical psychologists for treatment. Even if it was entirely due to socioeconomic factors (This doenst make any sense, how could Autism be caused entirely by environmental factors lmao?) it still would irrelevant to the conversation.

IQ pushback is common due to the unpleasant association of intelligence with immutable factors such as genetics . These concepts are challenging for many people to accept, especially when racism has become more apparent in the western world.

COVxy posted...

IQ only predicts success because it was constructed to predict educational achievement, and educational achievement is correlated with socioeconomic status. Control for that and pretty much nothing is predicted by IQ.

You have literally no idea what you are talking about. The primary function of IQ tests are to identify learning disabilities

ElGatoBravo posted...

That is absolutely not true. What you meant to say is ''intelligence is a high predicator of success'', with the IQ test itself being one of many ways to test the intelligence of a human being. The IQ test cannot gauge your adaptability, your creativity nor your social intelligence, which arer absolutely crucial to network and navigate the work field. And finally, your dedication and resilience are the ultimate determining factors of how well you'll do in your field.

It's a combination of all those factors that determine your success in life. Kids are out there, deluding themselves they have already won because they pride themselves on the test they took. Lol.

Nothing can test for "adaptability" and "creativity" lmao

Dedication and resilience are completely unrelated to this topic. And as someone who has been homeless, but is now generally successful, LUCK and wealth (and associated momentum) are also the primary determinant on outcomes. Most med students I know have not

1. Suffered from bipolar
2. lost both their parents
3. struggled with alcohol addiction

etc. Resilience is overrated. Luck is what really counts. If you are in your mid 20s, have a college degree, and havent gone through something traumatic you have a reasonable shot at achieving your dreams.

Anyone who has led you to believe that people with autism typically have higher IQ has led you in the wrong direction. High functioning is in relation to the clinical population, not average population.

actually autism tends to have lower fullstack IQ, while aspergers has not been associated with lower IQs (but is associated with polar IQ spread)

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

they are lumped together now from a modern diagnostic perspective, largely because of complicated political reasons (Asperger's was underfunded, but autism was not in relation). the differences between the two groups still exist (one with high spatial skills, the other with high verbal skills)

from a treatment perspective they are not the same at all

looks like he has thyroid issues

Nazanir posted...

Funny, less than 0.25.percent of the world's population has an iq of 140+, classifying them as genius.

Yet 26 percent of the poll scored 140+

Something isn't adding up.

it is obvious the poll would have trolls. it's just meant to spark discussion

that said, i doubt CE has an average population

I'm definitely better than average. I work in healthcare, have never really bullied anyone in my life, and loyal to my friends. I'm a bit of a dick online. In the past I had a drinking problem that caused me to hurt people around me. Been sober for awhile now.

cjsdowg posted...

That would explain a lot of things. I was thinking about this before , however you coming in speaking about this just helps push me closer to that conclusion.

i mean, it's just a label. it doenst mean anything unless it has impacted your life. however, if it does impact your life (social/academic) you can get tested and learn coping strategies.

idk you at all and i apologize if what i said comes across as a diagnosis

Irony posted...

There's a difference between being smart and being clever. IQ seems to go more to clever than smart.

This is a common layman's misunderstanding of IQ. Verbal/Reasoning IQ allow a person to use logical, rational thinking to come with "Clever" methods for solving issues. Important for academics.

Actually engaging with the world and being "smart" such as putting a radiator together, social skills, organizational skills are associated with higher spatial/performance IQs.

Most IQ tests are given to people who have learning disabilities to help identify better learning strategies. thus oftentimes people have IQs but appear "not smart" due to particular issues such as dysgraphia, auditory encoding issues (not understanding what people say makes someone seem dumb)

Once again, a completely inaccurate statement. You can almost predict LSAT scores from IQ tests.

Also, most people can become a lawyer. Whether or not you are a 80k a year lawyer vs the one people are thinking about is also something different entirely.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Completely inaccurate statement. IQs are extremely accurate predictors of success in society, especially with regards to capability in high science fields. They are also highly accurate on retests.

You cannot be good or bad at an IQ test. An IQ test measures your IQ.

most importantly, IQ tests are important for managing and identifying learning disabilities.

cjsdowg posted...

Without trying to sound like a Rick and Morty meme. I have a high IQ. They did all these test on me when I was a kid. But I have like 5 Learning disabilities at the same time and a social phobia so it all comes out in the wash LOL.

You would probably be diagnosed with high functioning autism (Specifically aspergers) if you were re-tested. This is pretty much my story. in the 90s kids like this were lumped as 2e or twice exceptional, or even diagnosed with really niche disorders like non-verbal learning disorder-but now it's almost all lumped into autism

A lot of people with high IQs have learning disabilities

COVxy posted...

This topic displays a pretty wild misunderstanding about autism, jfc.

Well, considering I am a nurse in medical school- with Autism- who has shadowed a clinical psychologist, I probably know just a little bit more than you about it than you

oops for aspergers it's supposed to say high verbal but average spatial

Hello CE.

Dan Harmon is inconsistent, but always has high highs

Dp isn't anywhere near TLA. What a ridiculous assertion.

That said, it is OK and we'll worth watching

being depressed doesnt mean you dont feel emotions. Jesus.

If anything, depressed persons are persons who have undergone several life stressors (Failure to thrive, Loss, life changing events such as a cheating gf, dropping out of college) combined with an inability to cope with said issue. Over a long period of time, this can caused neurotransmitter imbalances and maladaptive behaviors such as binge eating, never going outside (leading to decreased vitamin D, which causes feelings of depression), weight gain (decreased self-image, and social isolation)

catatonic depression is extremely uncommon, and usually associated with other disorders (negative symptoms of schizophrenia, depression in bipolar disorder)

I'll just go home and drink cheap stuff.
Also I can get utterly faced and not have to drive anywhere.

the only thing worse than brand loyalty is mindless brand hate

macs are superior laptops imo, in every regard except gaming

that said, i prefer android as well as desktop pcs

You can simply just not watch any of that stuff instead of bitching about it. And this is coming from me of all people.

I'm happy that someone brought up Squid game, because there are some things that just cannot be avoided if you have any social interaction

It gives me the creeps

All the bug eyes and weird proportions

nice. creeped out by a children's cartoon.

i didnt think i'd be defending rugrats today but here we are

MrKapowski posted...

Lol nah

I just didn't watch cartoons as a kid

Judging by that artwork in the op, I didn't miss anything

not sure why you would judge a children's cartoon by the artwork

MrKapowski posted...

Correct.

To be clear, I don't even know what Rugrats is, other than a vague feeling I've heard the name before.

FighterStreet was my original account. I havent posted here for years. I occasionally come back to see how much this place has devolved

if you really see the conservative party as a group of nazis you aren't terribly bright

much better to wake up early. if you wake up in the afternoon you might have trouble falling asleep after work, which would alter your sleep schedule and could cause insomnia over a long period of time

Do NOT do this. My dad did this and overtime he developed bladder damage from it according to the urologist

This would take frequent high dosing. Anticholinergics can cause urinary retention (can't shit, can't spit, can't pee, can't see...etc)

Lol I cant say that I feel the same way since its not part of my every day life or do I see a lot of it.

my gf and mother are addicted to korean media

From their K-pop (overabundance of generic 4 chord progressions, talentless vomit music), k-dramas, films...everything is just melodramatic nonsense. Even their "acclaimed" films like parasite involve terrible overacting, w/ juvenile messages like "GREED BAD"

I can't fucking stand this shit, and mother wants me to watch "Crashing into you" with her tonight.

Please send help

Yeah I recommend Benadryl.

using an antihistamine to fall asleep is like using a baseball bat to knock yourself out

she sounds like she could be experiencing some anemia. I would also assess for dehydration and skin tenting. if she is sweating and craving water she could also be hypoglycemic

BloodMoon7 posted...

Eh to me that's what makes me want to not even consider it. I just want to rest when my time comes. Imagine being a ghost, you're not alive but you're also not taking a dirt nap. So you're stuck like this for who knows how long. Ghosts aren't trying to be spooky in my mind. They scream because of mental anguish. Or maybe horny because they can't do the fucking.

idk it just sounds exciting. like, i used to believe in santa. i still wish i did lol

I honestly wish I was dumb enough to believe in the supernatural. There is significant evidence to show that average intelligence + spirituality + religiosity are correlated with happiness.

But imagine being able to believe in shit like the supernatural? The idea that a soul or something dead could exist. So exciting. you know, instead of the strong evidence that true consciousness and free will do not really exist and that we are all just meat fucking to make more meat
