Some parts of IQ tests can measure some aspects of intelligence. But they're limited and so many things can affect how someone might score on the day. Including but not limited to anxiety, restedness, culture, access to education, bias within the test....

Overall the whole concept of boiling down intelligence to one number seems like a relic of the days when people were measuring skulls to predict criminality and inserting their own weird cocaine fuelled incest fetishes into their theories of psychology.

Probably not. Teenagers are still developing their brains, empathy, etc.

Some teenagers are taught that hunting is a valuable skill and want to practice it. Some just want to use their toy and don't actually consider the full implications. Some might have been taught that squirrels are vermin.

All those things are more likely than the teen shooting the squirrel because they enjoy causing pain. Probably the squirrels POV never even shadowed their thoughts.

tl;dr teenagers are stupid and do stupid shit without thinking about what they're doing.

Between climate change being posed to create chaos, Russia trying to recreate the USSR, and capitalism doing capitalism things, I don't know if he's actually wrong. 😔

I'm sure if Nact is in power long enough they'll get around to criminalising vagrancy.

Nasty budget surprises? I'm so surprised.

I'm pretty sure they had no idea about the cost. They probably asked their finance minister, who, instead of reading the paperwork tossed a kina at a flock of seagulls and interpreted their reaction as the answer.

Can I somehow bill him for this?

He's on social media. This could probably be arranged.

"Americanized"?

What, racist and skewed to only provide justice to those wealthy enough to afford a good lawyer?

My sister in Satan, unfortunately we are not the media who get listened to.
