What’s Are Some Signs of High Intelligence in a Person?

People with high intelligence have these traits:

  1. They seem to have boundless creative and introspective thoughts on themselves and the world around them.
  2. Either a ridiculous academic history of accomplishments (such as going to uni at an early age, or being a straight A student with no studying all throughout their academic life) OR an academic performance that seems to be extremely flexible and extremely unstable (such as only having high grades in a few key subjects while everything else is average or subpar).

virginia woolf suicide letter

Seventy one years ago, literary icon Virginia Woolf wrote two suicide notes. One was addressed to her sister and the other was addressed to her husband — who was in his study nearby. She then put on her Wellington boots, filled the pockets of her fur coat with rocks, and walked out into the middle of the River Ouse in England.⁠

Her body wasn’t found until three weeks later, at which point her husband had her cremated and buried beneath a tree on their property. To commemorate her, he engraved a stone with the last lines from one of her novels: “Against you I fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death! The waves broke on the shore.”⁠

Confessions of a Side Chick

I’ve been a side chick for over 5 years.

I didn’t know he had another girlfriend until about 2.5 years into the relationship. Keep in mind, by this time I was already so deep in love with this man and thought I’d marry him. Lost my v-card to him and everything. We met when I was young and he was a bit older and the effect he had on me was insane. To cut a long story short, I was so in love with him already that I couldn’t bear the thought of being without him. So I stayed. Fuck me, I know.

mg42

The German machine gun, the MG42, fired at twice the speed of its counterparts, was nicknamed “Hitler’s Buzzsaw”, and the U.S. Army even created training films to help soldiers cope with the trauma of facing the weapon in combat.

The official US position during WW2 was that the 42 wasted ammunition compared to the American equivalent- the 30 calibre Browning.

But in fact, the brass recognized that it was a superior weapon, and an engineering team was set to work in 1943 to reverse engineer the 42 for American use.

How Do I Know if I’m Good in Bed?

How do I know if I’m good in bed? It’s a question we all ask ourselves from time to time but hardly ever ask other people, probably partly because we are afraid of what they will say.

In general, we all think we are good in bed. After all, there is no evidence to the contrary is there? Nobody runs away halfway through, or deletes us on Facebook the day after. No, all the information points to a godlike stature in the sack and who are we to argue?
