I owned nothome.com for a while. A lot of people used to suffix their domain name with the 'not' prefix when giving out email addresses.

Why would you send a test email to an account you or someone you know doesn't control?

I have an average IQ and interest in many subjects, but my operating memory is confirmed borked, I have heavy ADHD symptoms, and the most ADHD unfriendly life you can imagine.

It really does feel impossible to make meaningful advancements.

But I do feel that, even if you can eventually memorize and build on knowledge, there is just a world of difference in what a 70 and 130 IQ person can do.

...so people actually reply to noreply?

Awww, I just noticed your username. <3

In theory, the main diference between… well, let's say like 80-85 because getting down to 70 is a bit lower than most people think… but yeah, the difference between that and like you say around 130ish is mainly just that I would expect the two kids in school sitting side-by-side - the 80ish IQ kid takes a little longer to learn the concepts. They have to put in a bit of time and practice compared to the 130ish kid, who tends to pick up on the concepts easier.

But here's the thing: When that 130ish kid runs into something they don't get immediately, they flail around and struggle even harder thn the 80ish kid because they're not used to having to work to understand new concepts. So that 130ish kid is going to tend to give up, whereas the 80ish kid will keep on pressing forward.

My verbal IQ is carrying me. There's very real consequences where not picking up on a que and understanding a task instantly, results in people remembering me as the guy who "doesn't know shit".

So they skip over me, and don't even bother training me.

Which resulted on days where there's "no work", and so less pay.

You do realize that by telling companies they have vulnerabilities, they're protecting the people whose information they store, right?

Do you really want him publicly releasing vulnerabilities so the company gets hacked?

We're all so lucky to have had the brief moment with you that we did. We're all devastated by the loss of your future gifts.

BTW, it's fine if you bypass the overly dramatic gesture next time and just say, "my mom is home and I don't want my chicken nuggets to get cold, so I'm going to go now. Bye bye."

Until 20 years down the line .invalid becomes a valid TLD and all hell breaks loose lmao

You do realize that you can't go 2 days in modern world without hearing about a giant sensitive dataset being exposed. So yes, more sunlight is needed for any chance of meaningful change These companies can choose to staff up and prioritize sarety, because they don't do that now obviously. They don't give a shit and it shows. And they don't really have to as long as well meaning folks politely do that work for them free of charge - not the IT work, the PR work of sweeping their misdeeds under the rug.
