Excactly every one knows paying $3,000i in rent for a appartment in San Francisco is way cheaper then renting a house in Alabama for $900 bucks

Huntsville is a jewel in the rough. I've been there and loved it. Birmingham was great too, very good energy in that city. The other cities I've been to (Montgomery, Auburn, etc) we're not impressive.Well, call it what you want, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Huntsville's a great place to live. I've been back here for a little over a year.
City of Huntsville, Alabama, ‘Best Place to Live’ in U.S. News & World Report survey
Great news! The City of Huntsville, Alabama, is the 2022-2023 best place to live in the United States, according to a ranking by U.S. News & World Report. U.S. News recently analyzed 150 large metropolitan areas in the U.S. to find the best places to live based on job market, housing...www.huntsvilleal.gov

I used to live quite close to the border, but on the Georgia side. I was there all the time.Yeah they are bad, but all states have good and bad in them. I love the vibe in Birmingham, too. I drive down once a month, plus I still have a house for sale about an hour outside Birmingham.
I know where I rank among all those who have taken the ASVAB, as the results there are percentile based. I do think my success in various areas is helped by my upbringing and not my natural IQ though. I'd say that most of the people on this board are above average IQ, even if they do write the dumbest shit sometimes. I've known lots of very smart people who believe incredibly stupid things.65% of Americans believe they are above average in intelligence: Results of two nationally representative surveys

65% of Americans believe they are above average in intelligence: Results of two nationally representative surveys
Abstract
Psychologists often note that most people think they are above average in intelligence. We sought robust, contemporary evidence for this “smarter than average” effect by asking Americans in two independent samples (total N = 2,821) whether they agreed with the statement, “I am more intelligent than the average person.” After weighting each sample to match the demographics of U.S. census data, we found that 65% of Americans believe they are smarter than average, with men more likely to agree than women. However, overconfident beliefs about one’s intelligence are not always unrealistic: more educated people were more likely to think their intelligence is above average. We suggest that a tendency to overrate one’s cognitive abilities may be a stable feature of human psychology.

Introduction
The statement that a majority of people claim to be more intelligent than average is literally a textbook example of overconfidence and self-enhancement [1–6]. Here we ask whether such “intelligence overconfidence” is reliably found in large samples weighted to be nationally representative, differs by method of data collection (telephone or online), and varies according to demographic factors including sex, age, and race/ethnicity. The answers to these questions will help solidify the evidence base for popular claims in psychology and contribute to research on self-perceptions, overconfidence, and intelligence.
Most demonstrations of the “smarter than average” effect are conducted using convenience samples, a method that raises concerns about generalizability [7,8]. Some studies have improved upon convenience sampling by collecting nationally representative survey data from college [9] and high school [10] students to measure change in self-positivity and narcissism over time. However, student populations suffer the limitations of failing to represent older and less-educated people, differing from the general population in income, race/ethnicity, and sex, and potentially having difficulty imagining the “average person” outside of a university environment.
*Do you believe Americans in general are more intelligent than average?

I've thought about running a virtual campaign for members to practice at DMing but I'm running low on energy to get it going.I've never done organized play, so I don't know.

Well of course.
My idiotic ex-sister in law in the early days of the internet posted a half-naked picture of a porn star and passed it off as her picture. People actually believed it was her, and she was like, "I don't know why so many guys are trying to talk to me!" As she batted her eyelashes.
Your wife is a stone-cold hottie! I can see why she’d get so many A/S/Ls!In the early days of the internet my wife posted her regular portrait but she nicknamed herself "legs2001" and suddenly a gazillion guys on AOL-IM were all "age, sex, location?" (ASL)
She was getting so many of them she changed her name and put up a black screen for a picture!
"God I didn't realize there were so many hard-up guys out there!"
Beautiful! To look like that, even on a blah day? Every girl on the planet wants that!She's having a sort of bad MS day so I'll be happy to share that with her, it will lift her spirits!
She's fine, just feeling "sorta blah" as she says.
Here she is making her "blah" face!
