Because most of the population are essentially retarded.

That's how the math works with regards to average IQ. The majority of people fall below this average.

And that's why universal sufferage was a mistake.

Let me guess, we should ban women from voting and beat up women who whore themselves out on Tiktok...

Why not just convert to islam as that point? Thats where the far right is headed anyways.

Nice false dichotomy, faggot. There's a reason why normies like you were peasants for most of history.

Well, roughly 50%, not the majority.

And the most important fact of that stat:

Every single person thinks they are the ones in the upper half, and everyone else is in that bottom half.

"the majority" doesn't fall below average. The literal definition of "average" prevents that to be true.
Same with "most of" unless your definition of retarded includes people with above average iq.

Average is not median

– Aalewis 1 point 1 year ago +1 / -0

The median is an average

So is the arithmetic mean

So is the geometric mean

Referring to the median as “the average” is completely appropriate, especially as it pertains to IQ and other things reckoned in terms of estimates of population-level statistics.

I can’t say categorically that the distribution of intelligence is symmetric, but there isn’t a very strong reason to assume it’s especially skewed like there is with—say—individual income, where there’s no hard limit to how above-average you can be, but there is a clear barrier to how below-average you can be (zero income). This is why “median” incomes are specifically identified as such… it matters in that context, but in many other contexts it simply doesn’t matter whether you are referring to the median or the arithmetic mean when you say “average.”

You can just say you're innumerate, you don't have to go into detail.

Try this new viral glitch and then have your bank close and rescind your debit card and deny you of service for trying to pass off a bad check.

Reminds me of old people withdrawing their pension from the ATM in cash and taking it to the bank every month because it's safer there.

After Enron blew up several pensions because the managers were too busy chasing gains instead of doing due diligence, I don't necessarily blame them.

Press X to doubt.

If there really was some viral shit going on, to the point where there's an usual line out the bank, the tellers would likely inform the customers of the scam.

The scam is that chase has a glitch that somehow adds check values to the bank account being credited without waiting for the check to clear first. So these people are taking advantage of what they think is free money by cashing bad checks

Isn't knowingly trying to cash a bad check a crime?

The banks cash checks with a picture uploaded allowing them to verify the accounts. This seems so 20 yrs ago.

And miss out on all those overdraft fees? Doing that at a big bank sounds like a good way to get fired.

Sounds like it wasn't just passing off bad checks, but you could also apply for a loan at the ATM and just get the cash in some cases.

But,

Chase has apparently rectified the issue, as some are now reporting that their accounts have massive negative balances or have had holds put on them.

Sounds like a bunch of people are already in FAFO territory.

Chase letting it happen is also just as bad… I have a suspicion they are going to be the next bank to fail.

No..this time around Chase is going to be the one absorbing all the smaller banks that fail.

Similar glitch happened in Ireland last year. People running around shouting about free money.
