If 8 trilobites hang out together, would they make a trilobyte?

Shows that those psych-whatever-ists knew drat about the (ancient) greek language, because 'word' would be 'logos' and 'alexi' is actually a greek surname of ancient decent, that would mean 'defender'. The ancient greeks would never have named the condition that way! My impression is that various Freudians and Anti-Freudians converged on the term in the early-mid-20th century as a means to make themselves sound smarter than any of them really were.

Source: As someone named Alexander, I just finally felt vaguely offended enough by the term to start digging a little deeper:

And also, nothing about the condition as described by modern sources ever made any sense to me - which after reading the article I linked, wasn't even a surprise to me anymore. Sorry, rant over.

TL,DR: It's another piece of etymologic fallout from a historic shitslinging match between researchers and practitioners, but one that didn't get resolved conclusively. Because brains ...

I am sure Wikipedia has a list...

Aaand right. I think I remember a couple spent rocket stages and debris hitting it that isn't listed, but there shouldn't be much more that would classify as a 'vehicle'.

Haha, in some parts of germany you can do that yourself. on foot. with a zipdisk.

Yep, that's a mood.

seeing it capitalized in the post title didn't help. 😆

Yeah... I had to read that 5 times before I brained it correctly.

Hi. Thanks for the welcoming.

I'll be mostly hanging back, though. Only acting on reports and illegal content attacks. It's an emergency lifeline that is good to have set up before an emergency happens.

Even though I am aware of sounding incredibly cliché and cringe: The more you try to force it, the less success you'll have. Forget personality types. Forget 'effort'. People seem to instinctlively know when you're not having a good time or when you're outside your comfort zone. So have a good time first, and look for a mate second.

(Also, I am aromantic, so my sack of advice is probably worth only the sack)

"Yippee-Ki-Yay, Motherfucker!"

Long story that played out over months... Went to the doctors with depressive episode. Got diagnosed burnout. But from what??? So... I dug into researching psychology. Turns out, I inherited the family 'tism and could trace anecdotal evidence back 4 generations. Nobody ever bothered to investigate before. Presented my findings to my therapist and her reaction after listening to it all was (paraphrasing) "You didn't KNOW?".

So, yeah... No 'officially on paper' official diagnosis yet. I don't plan on getting one, because it turns out, the main cause of my problems isn't Autism, it's ADHD on top (that one got official a few months later), but now I am doing better with that under control and unlearning all the masking I did.

Not a trustworthy source.

Neither namedropping nor virtue signalling nor spreading misinformation is okay.

Speculating:

Restricting posting from accounts that don't meet some adjustable criteria. Like account age, comment count, prior moderation action, average comment length (upvote quota maybe not, because not all instances use it)

Automatic hash comparison of uploaded images with database of registered illegal content.

From what I understand, effectiveness is not guaranteed for any of the currently available meds. I won't disclose which one at this time, as I don't think it would be helpful to do so. I can only relay from my assessor, who explained to me that if a med is working, you will definitely notice the difference.

If you experience a problem with medication (like: it seems to you to not be working) you'll have to take it to your doctor irregardless. Maybe you can make your case and get a different dose or a different substance. Maybe you need to get a second opinion from another doctor. Maybe you need to switch doctors altogether. That last option can be a hard decision to make, but that is one that online people can actually help - if you provide some context information. If you don't want to do that and just read up on other people's experiences, I suggest you go over to c/ADHD, because they are around a little longer and you'll have a bigger chance of finding answers there.

Best of luck. 👋

Oh, you're right. This one only has a signature. I don't know for sure, but I'll edit it in.

😟

Valid, too, of course.

I am speaking from the perspective of a late-diagnosed adult. With kids and teenagers it is difficult to gauge the cause of mental health problems as well as the effectiveness of treatment. You better find a doctor that knows what they're doing... Sorry yours didn't - not all of them do, unfortunately.

Sorry, no idea who made this. I would also like to know, but all matches led me back to this post.

We can end the comments right here.

Double up with two crows for that extra edge of attempted murder.

Thanks for reminding me that's a thing that is fun. :D

I look good in this armor.

I have heard men making a bunch of sounds and I am sure none of them are on this. 😏

Be advised: I recognize this person joining and speedrunning Ban% in safespaces for several months now. This is at least my 4th sighting of them. They will antagonize the userbase in record time by blatant disregard of netiquette and basic human decency. They will cite any of their vast repertoire of mental conditions or minority membership cards as justification when called out on bad behavior - whatever is convenient at the time. Conversation to them is a game that must be won at all cost and people with even slightly differing opinions are seen as enemies that need to be defeated (and also humiliated) Their strategy is generally to single out one member and harass them with wall of text posts.

Do not engage. Do not educate - dozens have tried and failed. Just identify the pattern and ban permanently, before they can do any lasting damage to your community.

That is identical to my observations from a data science perspective.

Yes! Agreed! Earthbound observatories in second line are in a constant struggle of acquiring proper funding. Which means, that they are operated by people with passion - for the science. The unfortunate side effect is, that everything that isn't operations and academia takes second place again. Employing someone dedicated to just cybersecurity isn't perceived as a priority - after all, 'why would anyone hack an observatory?'

That is the kind of fallacy that can only be avoided if you already had an expert in house, unfortunately. I have been working with researchers, too, and I got the general impression that the appreciation for and crossover of ideas between departments has a lot of room for improvement. So that could also be a factor.

Ngl... the press release and article reeks like their IT department was a shitshow to begin with and the only method they could think of defending was to rip out ALL the cables.

I bet it wasn't even a targeted attack, but they have to frame it that way to save face.

edit: Also... sympathies for everyone being stalled in their research for ... 25(!) days now. This for sure could have been prevented with better risk management and damage control.

I don't think I have strong preferences for any specific part.

Legendary feeling of Catharsis: Definitely worth it.

I just hope he got all the papers he needed before that and a new job in the bag, because doing this without either of these conditions fulfilled can haunt you later.

But I am pretty sure he did.

If you know what you're doing, you have a chance of not trashing your board.

This person clearly doesn't - so it's Bad with a capital B.

I took it as a challenge to figure out which exhibits in my funny internet picture collection technically fit the definition given in the sidebar.

Final Destination 6

Everyone should be aware that the final say is provided by Putin. And is a foregone conclusion - for purely tactical and propaganda reasons, the official version will be that Prigozhin is dead. And nobody will contest that - least of all Prigozhin himself.

I do agree with the conclusion. - A new mission dedicated to answering the question of life on Mars is warranted. Earthbound discoveries of extremophile microbial life in the past decades have broadened our definition of life-enabling environmental conditions and discoveries of new classes of only intermittently alive cells/spores have broadened our definition of life itself.

Plus, apart from satisfying our curiosity, we will very likely get some insights into our own biochemistry along the way.

'Information Submissive' sounds perfect for me. It got just the right amount of hinting at kink. 😇

I am going to use that description from now on.

A very important distinction.

How can you get so worked up about the trolley problem and still completely fuck up the difference between responsibility and accountability?

Ah... but what when he actually liked the job he was doing? Presenting binary choices with leverthrowing might sound like a strange hobby to have, but I don't judge. Unfortunately, the discarded levers from the scrapyard don't really scratch that itch the same way... they must be connected to something consequential. But without switches to switch Mr. Leverpuller had to get creative: Thus the trolley problem variant with the fat man on a bridge became one of his more infamous later works.

Now I am 100% convinced that we have met before, digitally.

Sorry for the harsh reception. I thought you were just some random troll invading 'for the lulz'. (Your all-caps reaction to sharkfucker420 really enhanced that first impression)
