I think you can have both even with supernatural reanimation.

Say an exterior force takes hold of the corpse and moves it. In that instance it's not being moved by the bodies own physical properties, but merely the force of whatever spirit has gripped it. Think puppetry or telekinetics.

On the other hand, an interior force would be bound by the bodies limits, like say a soul being forced back into a corpse. In this case, you could have slow and perpetually rotting zombies who are also self aware, which is all the more horrifying.

You mean I can get an authentic white ranger costume and run around yelling "white power!"?

It looks grindy as fuck. I'm seeing people run past all the "content" to finish missions faster so they can level up gear for minimal gains. It's just stupid.

If a federal agent ever refuses to identify themselves, you should call your sheriff and tell them you have people impersonating an officer of the law and trying to shake you down.

I didn't even know what the term "antisemitic" was 10 years ago.

There was the occasional oddball who farmed furbolg rep in vanilla. Literally everyone did something like it in BC.

The problem with stories in games nowadays is that game devs are now by and large retarded, political hacks who don't understand the most basic fundamentals of games or stories. Gameplay is itself a form of communication, and gameplay progression is a story. Walls of text and unskipable cutscenes interrupt that gameplay story, and more often than not detract from the gameplay more than serving it.

Desserts can be cold, though I doubt they actually thought of that.

"You kidnapped a child!"

"You gave your kidnapped child aids!"

The reasons for his refusal are funny. There's a dynasty feature in the game where your offspring inherit some of your traits and possessions. So he made marriage a feature to create children and heirs. They complained they couldn't get gayrried, and he just said "gay couples can't make kids."

My 80yo mother: "wow, I bet they got a real bang out of that."

I don't think the 2SD gap is really accurate. Actually smart people who don't have autism (read: brain damage), are generally pretty good at communication and emulation. They can make themselves understood to a bunch of C- bureaucrats for the sake of getting grants, just like they can distill their ideas for children. Morons can't do that.

If the 2SD gap was legit, then retards would be a bunch of Dr Doolittles, living in harmony with beasts, while smart people would need retard proxies to train their dog for them. That is clearly not the case.

My dad's entire (big) family is over 160IQ, which is statistically unheard of. All of them can grasp anything they put their mind to. They only put their mind to things that interest them. As far as I can tell, only one or two of them are smart enough to see the forest through the trees and be immune to marketing and propaganda, because it interests them to put their minds to those sorts of things.

They're all boomers, and like most boomers they have largely been failures as far as their families go; although, I'd say that's mostly because of women being allowed to be batshit insane. Their intelligence hasn't really helped them avoid batshit crazy women.

As far as the various example tasks you mentioned, they're all skills that can be trained and require both interest and discipline. Some require a baseline intelligence, but it's not substantial. Sherlock Holmesing conclusions from mere minutia is a bit fantastic, though.

Personally, I slept through AP Calculus and aced it, but that's because I liked the math and spacial reasoning, and I sometimes did my homework (usually during lunch). I had previously flunked out of a 6th grade advanced math course called MEGSS because I was bored and uninterested (it was basically pre-algebra for 6th graders, and I would have ended up taking AP Calc a year earlier).

I used to think blacks were too racist.

Now I understand the truth: I'm not racist enough.
