1	My dad and I have a codependent relationship Do everything that you can do on your own. There is nothing wrong with requesting help once in awhile, but for the most part you should strive to be independent.	/r/askTRP	02/11/18 02:27 AM
1	What if you are too low-IQ for STEM, too unattractive for sales, and too physically impaired for labour? Depends on your field. If you're planning on going into a science or health field, you'll need to reach a certain minimum GPA to even be considered for programs. Not to mention most have some kind of standardized test (be it GRE, MCAT, etc), which tends to function as an IQ test, albeit with more of a focus on crystallized intelligence and less on fluid.	/r/askTRP	25/09/18 01:09 AM
1	What if you are too low-IQ for STEM, too unattractive for sales, and too physically impaired for labour? False. IQ and the science behind it is one of the aspects of psychology that have the most evidence, ranging from clinical, to case-controls, to observation, etc. Furthermore, much of the statistical theory that evaluates IQ research (whether or not the results are significant) went on to influence much of how sociology and psychology evaluate their results. If you reject the idea of IQ, then you can reject the majority of the sociological and psychological research.	/r/askTRP	24/09/18 08:28 PM
2	What if you are too low-IQ for STEM, too unattractive for sales, and too physically impaired for labour? You can be low IQ enough that you will never grasp the concepts needed to advance in a STEM field. How "low" depends on the specific field and one's goals.	/r/askTRP	24/09/18 08:27 PM
1	What if you are too low-IQ for STEM, too unattractive for sales, and too physically impaired for labour? Intelligence explains the variation within success much better than conscientiousness (where "perseverance" would be akin to the industrious). About 25% percent of success at best is explained by intelligence, while about 16% of success is explained by conscientiousness. In other terms, hard work is good, but intelligence can carry you further. Combine both and you're unstoppable.	/r/askTRP	24/09/18 08:26 PM
3	Why are women so depressed all of the time? Men commit suicide in very quick, violent and effective manner, such as Hemingway (shotgun to the face). Women commit suicide usually via overdose or cutting, which often gives them more than enough time to either call for help or have someone find them.	/r/askTRP	13/09/18 01:02 AM
1	Jeff Nipards before and after + advice wanted Competition, sure. I do the same. But you seem focused on others. Regardless, I wouldn't compare myself to someone who is artificially enhanced in any way unless I plan on doing the same or have done the same	/r/askTRP	22/07/18 12:59 AM
1	Jeff Nipards before and after + advice wanted Don't compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to your past self. Definitely don't compare yourself to Jeff, because he's very likely on or has used "creatine". He can claim natty all he wants, but don't forget he gets paid by people for training and diet advice and if they knew he used "creatine" for his results, then he wouldn't get enough clients or sponsorships to make a living.	/r/askTRP	22/07/18 12:53 AM
