I think people like you are a hair from being as insane as the people they lock up.

Since I fully agree with what the commenter you’re replying to said, I’ll assume you’re lumping me into that group too.

Sure, call me insane. Call me crazy. Call me fucking nuts and say I need a straight jacket. Whatever floats your boat.

You’re not one of the people that can lock me up though and it’s pretty clear why. So just remember that “crazy” motherfuckers like me are driving next to you on the freeway, shopping behind you in the grocery store, living down the hall, etc. We could lose it at any point!

Fear of what you don’t understand and ignoring expert opinions are destroying society. Which side of that would you like to be on?

Plus, you’re talking to another human being, it’s just fucking disrespectful.

I personally see it as “hyperfocus” when I’m talking about minutes or hours and “fixations” when on the scale of weeks or months. But I have a lot of opinions about semantics for someone who isn’t a professional 😂

And I agree with his point in the video, probably because I first saw it years ago so I’m already biased and it’s also very much the case for me. It’s perseveration. I can’t break away from the task, sometimes even if I’m screaming at myself internally to do so. I hate it and it feels like I’m malfunctioning at the time. Hyperfocus sounds like a good thing, maybe even superhuman, that you can willingly steer, and that’s not the case.

I thought it was just (or mostly) partial pressure of O2 when it comes to hemoglobin? It’s been about 15 years since I was in school so I might remember wrong.

Does that mean that if we took something rusty and put it in an environment without oxygen it would start to release oxygen from the rust?

What the fuck

in 2020 in which female passengers were subjected to invasive gynecological examinations.

authorities were looking for the mother of a newborn baby found abandoned in a Hamad International Airport trash can

they were taken off the flight to Sydney at Doha at gunpoint by guards and were searched without consent.

Did I wake up 2,000 years ago or something? Am I still on earth?

Qatar was “surprised and shocked” that Australia had rejected without explanation its application for additional services to Sydney

Woooow. I literally don’t know what to say.

Actually sometimes I do, because I have diabetes 😂

Well, I guess to be fair, I do a lot of normal human behavior, like pooping and sometimes imagining inanimate objects have feelings. Maybe I just need to lighten up? 😛

That’s a good one I hadn’t thought of.

BTW where can I find out more about dbzer0’s instance? Like purpose/values/location/config (i.e. downvotes). I assume you have an in with someone important to have that username there (kidding 🙃) . I’m not unhappy with where I’m at necessarily but I didn’t do much research when picking, I just wanted to get on a different server that wasn’t censoring things without even an announcement.

Thanks brother/sister/sibling!

(sorry I don’t know your pronouns, I used to wonder if I would ever actually run into that with the way conversations work here but TIL)

I will try not to ban myself by accident.

Yeah, those I do have some sympathy for because they’re still living life on hard(er) mode but no matter who you are it’s the sheer volume of knee-jerk reactions that’s annoying.

I looked at your profile and caught some of the nuked comments you made in that same thread I came from. I totally agree, it’s really frustrating to see disinformation repeated a bunch of times with many upvotes, show up with an actual informed opinion, and people downvote you like crazy in minutes.

I think it’s because a bunch of people are just looking at the everything feed instead of just their subscribed comms (myself included), because it’s easy to handle right now with lemmy not having an enormous userbase. But these people obviously know where they’re commenting if they’re saying that.

I mean I don’t come into your house and basically tell you you’re just imagining your problems. It’s ableist as shit.

In this case I don’t think any, because she worked in patents. But don’t take that as me defending nonagenarians still working in government.

I’m with the other guy, I’m not reading that again, but I remember it was on the verge if that helps.

How did you identify the problem and get ComEd to look into it? My UPS is switching inconsistently, sometimes a couple times a day, and I’ve seen some signs that makes me think it’s not just that UPS/outlet/breaker. I wasn’t at the point where I was going to do anything yet but since you’re talking about the same provider I have I figured I’d ask. I have a multimeter, oscilloscope and smart plugs that watch voltage/amperage/power.

This is a great description of nicotine addiction (I’m a vaper, but have smoked). I’d highly recommend anyone who’s considering it to not bother even if you’re impulsive and having a stressful time. Imagine adding another biological need like sleeping to your plate when after a few months all it’ll do for you is allow you to stop thinking about it for a bit. No more buzz. Just cravings and knowing where the exits are.

I’ll tack on to what the other commenter said:

• Cost: I considered myself a heavy searcher (software engineer and gamer) and have been surprised to see I have rarely exceeded even half of my allotted searches ($5/mo, 300 searches). I’m now reprogramming my brain to stop turning to alternatives when something should be easy to find because “I might use up all my queries”.
• Better: apart from all of the cool features, and there are many, there’s also that it just “feels better”. I don’t know how to qualify that despite being a professional in that world. It’s kinda the opposite feeling that I had using Google over the last 5+ years where I wondered if I was getting dumber or if the internet (and Google) was absolutely full of garbage.

It’s on the very short list of subscriptions I pay for right now despite having a very limited budget at the moment.

Yeah, I take issue with your point. Mental illness doesn’t make a person dangerous to society automatically. Mental illness makes a person much more likely to be a victim of abuse rather than the perpetrator.

From one neurodivergent person to another: stop generalizing about groups of people. It’s offensive.
