I was a gifted kid and I am definitely not a disappointment... Instead, I've just gotten a little sadder each time I'm promoted only to realize how low "the bar" actually is.
Our species is fucking stupid.

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

I remember watching a video essay about how gifted kids never learn to learn so they have it harder later. If we would nurture kids more individual, this wouldn't be a problem
also school never teaches what you use this shit for. I coincidentally found a real use for math functions when being taught a real use for geometry in steel trades class, one that removed any need for me to use hand drawn geometry for any of the work we were doing. Thankfully the teacher understood after a bit and said "oh shit you're right" and accepted the math class style "show your work" instead of a drawing the size of a full sheet of plywood spanned over several desks
Horticulture class taught me why the quadratic equation is important.
"fArMerS ArE DumB!"
Yeah. We had to spread fertilizer for max efficiency. Also learned matrices in that class.
I skirted by being a 'gifted kid' by not being smart enough to hit those kinda of programs, but being too 'smart' to actually learn any good habits :)
