  If I actually had capacity for smart I'd be trying/able to change that, wouldn't I?

That isn't always an option for people, it all depends on the cards you're dealt with in life. For some people, they may be intelligent but they have a learning disability, others may have poor memory or some other disorder that prohibits them from learning at their highest capacity.

Since I don't personally know you I can't say what I think the reason is, nor will I try to guess. All I'm saying is that you need to keep your chin up about your situation. The worst thing a person can do is give up, especially on learning.

@ Soran, re:" you are clearly smarter than most people", how is that clear?  What did I do to give you this impression?  What part of an entry essentially saying "I wish to be considered dumb because I am dumb" makes it clear that I am smart?  You're confusing me.

What that means is that you're clearly not ignorant. Have you ever heard of the expression, "Ignorance is bliss?" This stems from the fact that ignorant people are normally too unaware of their own ignorance or their own lack of abilities, thus they find themselves to be perfect or above average. You do not.

What I'm saying is that you're aware that you have options that can lead you to improve yourself. This is the mindset of most forward thinking people.

A truly ignorant person does not know they are ignorant. You are aware of your own circumstances and thus are not as much of an idiot as you may think you are.

Also, if you're curious as to why I've transitioned a conversation pertaining to being "dumb" into being "ignorant", it's mainly because the two go hand in hand.

Feel free to do whatever you want, although once you change your name I won't be able to recognize you except maybe by your avatar… Unless you change that too. Well, you've still got your custom title so I guess that's identifiable in some regard. 

The question is, would you change it to another preexisting character or to an OC?

Heh, face like that, if you headed to the gym you really could pass yourself off as a new live action version of one of those guys.

 

But now I'm wondering what you actually do look like below the neck.

 

Probably could. I don't have the necessary funds at the moment to truly take advantage of working out to such a degree; perhaps when I'm more monetarily stable.

 

I look something like this.

 

~Soran

 

Ahahaha! You threw me off with that one, I thought it'd be a real pic or something. Laughed a bit IRL.

 

Oh, are you referring to the extra food intake you'll need for full advantage? Or the cost of a gym? Cause there are some gyms that are like $20 a month. I go to one and it isn't at all bad.

 

Mainly the cost of the gym membership itself, I don't have too much of a problem with food. I can always find food on discount that can fulfill the calorie intake and such, it's just finding a cheap gym where I'm located is tough. Perhaps I'll look during this summer after I'm done moving and all situated.

That definitely doesn't sound like a bad price, cheaper than most I come across. Most I come across are those that are brand named, which means they can price things in more exorbitant prices because of brand recognition.

Honestly that depends on your view of college. At times, college isn't needed at all for some careers, while with others it's completely necessary. You don't necessarily need a degree to become, for example, a sanitation engineer while you do need a degree to become a psychologist. 

Being called "smart" or anything else is really, really unhealthy in actuality. Some people may think that it's a good thing to call a child smart but it truly isn't.

There are people who are naturally clever. I, for example, am someone who is naturally clever. I can easily pass most courses I take with flying colors without needing to study much, my intuition is rather good and I'm more or less a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to my talents. 

There is a certain point where the advantage of being clever loses it's power, and that's when someone enters the adult world. This is where someone being considered "smart" is useless if they don't work hard. It's just like seeing those people who can get A's throughout school without studying at all and then suddenly throwing them in college and watching them get D's because they don't know how to study.

What your problem seems to stem from is your perception of yourself in regard to your achievements. This isn't a healthy point of view to have, you should not measure your own self worth based around achievements.

Think about all the people who say that you're smart. This means that you are at least, a naturally clever person in some area. Use this advantage you have and learn to work harder. You talked about how you're a college dropout, which I assume means that this is something that is important to you. Then go back to community college and work your tail off until you've reached the point where you're satisfied. In the end, you may never be satisfied but that's okay, that's life.

You may hate to read this but you are clearly smarter than most people. Often times an intelligent person knows they have much left to learn and do and clearly you exhibit these traits.

Good luck in life,

I got 147wpm, I'm only 147^30 off or something. At least I'm still in the clear.

I've never read or seen Harry Potter, just as fair warning. Apparently, my house is Ravenclaw which must obviously be the best house because I'm a part of it.

Ravenclaw: 86%

Gryffindor: 31%

Slytherin: 28%

Hufflepuff: 20%

Supposedly I am a part of the house of intelligence, curiosity, individualism, and wit.

Did I win?

~Soran

PS: These percentages make no sense.

you look like nathan drake

 

does this mean you're nathan drake?

 

holy smokes i know nathan drake

What really happened when Nathan retired.

you look like toon link

 

does this mean you're toon link?

 

holy smokes i know toon link

you look like bj blazkowicz

 

does this mean you're bj blazkowicz?

 

holy smokes i know bj blazkowicz

Well I did nazi that coming.

Heh, your face and head shape make me picture you with the body of a walking tank. Like, similar to Captain America, Superman, or Batman. Or even Green Arrow.

 

Is that accurate?

Uh… Sure! Let's go with that (I should really start heading to the gym)… (To earn my 8 badges).

Classic taste (Adventure taste?)

 

A mixture between Adventure and Puzzle. I was considering replacing Mario with Lara Croft (New version), instead though I just went with a fun classic.

I am not a toucan

Okay, this is clearly the lie

 

I have displayed my MOCs in a world-wide Lego convention

I have not created a MOC in the last week

I have built a very intricate MOC in two hours

 

I believe that you have not created a MOC in the last week is the lie. 

I like metal music

I like electronic music

I like country music

I'm assuming you liking country music is the lie.

How'd I do?

~Soran

I can raise one eyebrow(Thats right, not two, but ONE)

I am not a toucan

I prefer pepsi over coke

 

(Oh and your lie is the wiggling the ear I believe, no accent is believable and better control over one side of your body isn't exactly something one just pulls out of a hat)

I don't believe you can raise only one eyebrow. That must be the lie.

You're correct, I can't wiggle my right ear, I can only wiggle my left.

~Soran

I was trapped in a mirror

My water wings allow me to travel the galaxy

I am a Crystal Gem

You aren't a gem, so that must be the lie.

~Soran

Where might I acquire some of this "BZP Bacon"? It sounds really good right now.

~Soran

 

"Knock knock."

 

"Who's there?"

 

"Interrupting octopus."

 

"Interrupting octopus w-"

 

*GRABS FACE*

I need to use this.

 

Also, Soran, if you have Pokemon ORAS or X/Y, we can settle this like trainers.

 

Reminds me of the "Interrupting Cow" one.

Pfft, I said fite me irl. Tuesday, the mall off of fourth street. Bring your Gameboy color, we'll settle this like adults. 

 

 

 

okok i got a killer knock knock joke but u gotta start it

 

Knock knock

who's there

 

 

An embarrassed sap who didn't think this through

 

We all make mistakes sometimes.

~Soran

Interesting,

So in a hypothetical scenario, if someone were to get "suspended" as you put it, is there a means of which they can communicate to defend themselves or is no communication present during the process? I believe that emails are required to sign-up to the website, would that be used in this case?

I'm sure I could probably find the answer to this question somewhere on the site, but since you're offering I figured I'd take a stab at it.

~Soran

Aaaaaaaaaaa it's cute and scary at the same time. ;-;

Most accurate description I can think of for that… thing.

~Soran

She's definitely my favorite staff member (no offense) and the one I've had the most interaction with. She's helped me out over the years and is really reliable, always willing to help and always providing her expertise. So thank you Wind, for being a friend, for being a leader and for helping the site.

>mfw no leather jacket pic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
No idea what this "drama" is, but learning another language should be interesting. I've tried it before but I could never get it down. Learning Japanese and going to Japan sounds like a fun thing to do. What would you say is the hardest part about learning Japanese and what are you most excited for about going to Japan?
 
~Soran

Matoro.

fite me irl

I don't really have a go-to joke, really. Situations are infinitely variable, and the opportunities to make fun of them even more so.

Interesting. I'm actually surprised by the lack of go-to jokes of BZPers, I sorta expected more.

~Soran

My life.  I use it daily.

 

I only get mine every other weekend. 

I... don't think I have one?

You totally need one. It breaks the ice easily, just Like YOUR… erm, personality. 

~Soran

Heard that one way too often.

I don't get it.

~Soran

wat did I just watch

Add me to the list. I could do with some motivation.

Then you've got the last spot on the list! That's it for people, thank you all.
