No, almost no one, this board is mostly used by the government to set up privileged college students for long and cruel experiments.

I just want to chill out read, write, and paint all day. And I've always managed to fall ass first into getting by with minimum effort. I also went to an international school with a bunch of asian kids who, despite having 4.0's were dumber than a sack of bricks when it actually came to application of comprehension of the test answers they seared on their brains.

Could be worse, I'm not only lazy, but I'm dumb at being lazy.

As in, my lazyness forces me to do twice as much work for any given idea of entertainment, be it video games, walking, punching a piano with your fingers, burning food or doodling stuff. Perfectionism and lazyness are not a good mix, you end up trying to optimize everything to do the less work possible, at the expense of the time and resources it takes to do the optimizing itself.

It's simpler than that, stupidity is not the absence of intelligence, nor is intelligence the absence of stupidity.

These people are intelligent enough to qualify, and dumb enough to want to qualify. Both can be true at the same time, hence mensa is not empty.

Or maybe they were just invited and said "why not?"

Bingo. Honestly, it seems like a waste of time to me, as well as a good way to sign up for an endless supply of spam.

I'm sure that the vast majority of y'all have been in an honor society or two, but Jesus fucking Christ, it seems like all they do is send out 3-5 emails a day, either trying to get you to buy merchandise, go to a meeting which is essentially sounds like a huge waste of time, or donate to some cause that the liberal arts retards are trying to push, as the STEM members don't need it because they already have funding for their project since it will most likely accomplish something instead of just "raising awareness".

I'm in two currently in order to boost my resume, but seriously, RIP my inbox. I don't want to redirect their emails to the spam folder though, because every now and then there's something useful like a members only career fair, or an interesting research opportunity.

i have a could chance of getting accepted into MENSA. Earlier today i while in the shower I fantasized about showing up to a meeting in the garb of an 18th century Italian aristocrat, and a HUGE powdered wig, then after a long and bombastic rant about how we, as the high IQ guardians of humanity should kill all the stupid and poor. After this i will pull out a tea cup i brought from home and break it with my face. then i will vape until i get sick from the nicotine and leave my large spaghetti dinner on the table. This is my destiny.
