I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Being gifted + having connections is the key to success.
Being gifted + poor just means you'll see the landscape around you and try to take advantage of what you can, which usually involves illicit activities and trying to outsmart law enforcement to get ahead

also why alot of gifted people are labeled as "s*x offenders" and "male feminists"
they get told no and it becomes a problem to be solved. really sad. people shouldn't be put in prison for being too smart.

i think kids with the potential to be smart/educated who arent properly nurtured end up being more likely to have existensial crises, psychological issues, drug use problems, and boredom which increases their odds of doing criminal acts.

No, I just don't believe whatever these statistics imply and think they were gathered extra r-slurredly upon an already r-slurred premise.

Yes, when your world view is anchored in awareness of stats like "people in prison are surprisingly low IQ on average." The surprise isn't that they're low IQ; the surprise is the magnitude.
The idea that 20% of the prison population is actually smart doesn't strictly (mathematically) contradict that, but it would require a weird distribution of IQ among inmates.

Fair points which I have considered, butt Im also considering that many of that kids who get labeled as "gifted" by dumb elementary school guidance councilors arent actually gifted. I also believe that telling children that theyre smart/gifted (whether or not they actually are) instead of praising them for working hard and thinking creatively/constructively/out of the box. Telling a child who is smart that theyre getting good grades simply due to that is liable to make a lazy smart that rests on his laurels and coasts. Juxtaposed telling the dumb kod that he is smart and then the tests/real life problems show him to be dumb, he'll have an increased risk of an identity crisis. In either cases people eho are habitually lazy, and people with chronic identity crisises are more likely to commit crime. Also i think this is why that exerpt and perhaps the whole premisr might not be about actual IQ and simply about being labeled as gifted. Butt idk i didnt open the tweet or read the actual research

This inspired me to look up the gifted kid from my class in 3rd grade. They let him skip a couple grades and he was supposed to be some kind of genius. Turns out he was a paramedic for a while and is now a customer service manager at some CPR training company.

"Gifted and Talented" programs are scams pumping up the mediocre to slightly above average in order to get extra funding.
