There's a real problem faced by "highly-capable" or "gifted" kids:

Things are easy for them, until they're not.

And when things get difficult, it's often because the kid coasted by on their IQ without developing the skills they'd need when things got more complex than they were able to brute-force with their brains.

I know this happened to me, and it's only as an adult that I learned more about why.

Autism is often co-morbid with executive function impairment and atypical sensory-processing.

Learning skills to help counter executive functioning issues and techniques to deal with over-stimulus when it comes to task completion can dramatically improve quality of life and burnout issues with tasks that suddenly seem to be too great to surmount.

Take this with some salt, I transitioned from psychology to computer science half-way through my college career.

Some people daydream of blood, sugar, sex or magic, but I fantasise about stripping the assets of corrupt politicians and their business cronies, and redistrubuting the wealth to those in need. I would redistribute that wealth so good. Imagine having all those who have profiteered from the people, having to live on Universal Credit. I will remind you that Rishi Sunak didn't even know how to pay for something using contactless. Didn't even understand how to pay for something. Let that sink in.

The point of an abortion ban is to punish women for daring to even think about having non-procreative sex. The people who die in terrible agony because of abortion bans are meant to be examples, to terrify others into compliance. This is the system working as intended.

This has been talked about for awhile but now, under the circumstances, it should probably really happen, I reckon.

If you want to help keep the GOP in power for the rest of your life there's probably no better way to do that than to attack Democrats.

Trump's transition team is sidestepping federal funding rules, allowing them to raise unlimited "dark money" without disclosing donors, alarming ethics experts. By avoiding standard disclosures, the team raises concerns about foreign and undisclosed influence on his incoming administration. Critics warn of transparency issues and potential corruption.

For the denialism of suffering in my homeland, I'm sure the organizers wouldn't care. Racism has relegated us to irrelevance.

But I would have thought a prominent Muslim org would show more sensitivity for Syrians, a Muslim majority people.

It seems Palestinian solidarity gives everyone a pass, no matter how foul your transgressions are.

If hating Israel is all that is required with no humanitarian based ethical standards necessary...why not award David Duke? I'm pretty sure he qualifies.

More nations are investing in Ukrainian defense, Umerov reports.

Future generations are not going to care which of us voted for or against Trump, just like most modern people don't care which Germans in the 1930s voted for or against the Nazis.

What will matter to future generations is what we do or don't do to try and stop the crimes against humanity before and while they happen.

Trump’s Cabinet picks are depleting the slim GOP House majority, leaving Speaker Mike Johnson scrambling. Key votes risk collapse as red-district vacancies linger due to slow special elections. With internal GOP divisions and looming spending battles, Trump’s decisions are pushing Republicans toward legislative chaos. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-house-republicans-2669990508/

« Ce procès à l’écho international, où démarre à partir de lundi le réquisitoire prévu pour durer trois jours, « montre que la culture du viol est ancrée dans la société, comme la violence envers les femmes », a souligné Amandine Cormier, de l’organisation Grève féministe, lors d’une conférence de presse mercredi à Paris. »

1. We don’t “argue” it. It’s a fact that there are no white people in the Bible

2. Yes white supremacists hijacked Christianity and enforced the claim that Jesus is white. This was codified in American state legislatures to also justify enslavement of Black people. How are you a lawyer and retired Intel officer and ignorant to this? White supremacy is blinding indeed.
