It’s a prescription drug where I live, but if I ever have anyone who would need to hear it, I’ll mention it in case their doctor didn’t prescribe it!

Awesome 🙌

Sounds unhealthy, you okay?

BoJack Horseman

One of the actual (many) reasons that drove me from Windows. Over the years it became so dirty to have so many old files and registry entries that were abandoned by their respective uninstallers that I became wary of installing anything at all, and that’s not the feeling I want with my personal computer.

I had a feeling they were talking about polyamory, but I wasn’t sure since it felt a lot like over-sharing. But I guess it’s good to announce any and all use cases for something like this, why not. 👍

Pardon my ignorance but what is a poly group?

That makes sense!

Okay cool, thanks. So then that begs the question, in what way was this replacement ineffective?

What was this “þ to ‘th’ replacement” movement supposed to accomplish? Prevent LLM-feeding scraping from producing anything useful?

And what does the change log entry mean practically? People who type þ will have their input changed to “th” before posting?

I think I’m a little bit of everyone except him. I work as a web dev, love functional programming and/with TypeScript. 😅

😂👍

Did they teach you de-escalation techniques?

More posts than I’ve made in over two years.

Besides that, that’s not very helpful. :⁠-⁠P

Short prison sentence vibes?

Left-handedness doesn’t need to be a struggle, does it? We don’t force kids to write with their right hand anymore since many decades.

and you didn’t respond to me, so if you hadn’t said that I might not have seen it at all.

But I did respond to you. The comment with the definitions from Wikipedia is a response to your comment.

And you didn’t bother to look before responding to me because…?

Didn’t bother, or didn’t have time at the moment. 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes life happens. When I had time, I bothered, as you saw. 👍

you want to act like I’m an asshole

What? No, I don’t. Why would I? 🤨

This seems incredibly disingenuous when you can just go search the internet for the definition

The F? That’s what I did, and posted in the other comment. :⁠-⁠P

I think there’s a definition of “wrong” here as well. That’s a very subjective definition. My god son has autism, and he has problems in school, and it makes life difficult for his parents and siblings. That’s not “wrong”? It creates harm in some definition.

I dunno, I’m not trying to blame autistic people or make them seem bad or worth less or something, I’m just saying that it sure feels like an illness sometimes. I also suspect I have some ultra mild placement on the spectrum, and it can be challenging in certain situations.

Being included in the DSM doesn’t automatically classify something as a mental illness

No, but those descriptions of a mental illness I thought fit autism fairly well. 🤷‍♂️ That’s what I meant.

I added this comment.

The definition and classification of mental disorders are key issues for researchers as well as service providers and those who may be diagnosed. For a mental state to be classified as a disorder, it generally needs to cause dysfunction.[15] Most international clinical documents use the term mental “disorder”, while “illness” is also common. It has been noted that using the term “mental” (i.e., of the mind) is not necessarily meant to imply separateness from the brain or body.

According to the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), published in 1994, a mental disorder is a psychological syndrome or pattern that is associated with distress (e.g., via a painful symptom), disability (impairment in one or more important areas of functioning), increased risk of death, or causes a significant loss of autonomy.

In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) redefined mental disorders in the DSM-5 as “a syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental processes underlying mental functioning.”

I dunno, sounds to me like autism fits fine with “mental illness”, possibly depending on the severity/placement on the spectrum. Note that mental illness isn’t something easily defined. I just pulled the quotes above from Wikipedia.
