I also hear Cave Johnson yelling in my head, good times in deed.

Yeah they want to make it clear that they laid off people and he should not get rewarded for it, however I think we all read ‘thanks to the layoffs he could increase his pay’

Probably only in the same way cartoons made kids belief that gravity only takes affect when one looks to the audience. Most often, most kids won’t transfer any of that to reality but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to do the Naruto run.

The US has twice as many parties as China. If that ain’t a major difference then I don’t what is /s

That’s just depressing.

We are all built differently, my dad still plays to this day the settlers 4. Not even the history edition, but the one I installed (from CD!) for him a decade or more ago. Don’t know how he does it.

Why does everyone assume books equals novels. The books loaned might have been text books or even journals.

I think it makes the shooting worse.

They said it’s cracking down on crime within the train / subway system of which checking fares is a part. So they don’t have them there to just check fares but their job is to reduce and prevent crimes and while they there they check for fares.

One guy skipped fares, he had a history of mental disorders and law violations, and their best course of action is to shoot him, and some bystanders. The fact that both officers shot the guy, with sufficient bullets fired that random bystanders can be hit. Their aim is dog shit.

You need to talk with her, be open address your fears and how you feel about the situation. It will be difficult to address, it needs some delicate wording.

By this I mean make sure that you don’t blame her for having the pain, it is not her fault to feel it. It is understandable that she needs someone to rely on, but not at the expense of your own happiness.

There is the chance that she will feel attacked and mistreated. That is a risk when discussing any issue. It is best when you tell her that lately you feel exhausted, you wish you could help more but that you cannot. And that you guys need to find a way to deal with it together. It seems to me she is craving / needing the security and someone to rely on so when discussing the issue ensure her that you are there, you are not removing yourself.

It is also worth noting that you have had time to think about how you feel and what it is that bothers you, she did not have that luxury. For her it will be the first time, that she hears about that. Give her the time she needs, it will take time to adjust, to figure out what she is feeling and how to address the changes that are necessary.

Lastly, if you two can’t discuss an issue within your relationship in a civil manner it begs the question, is there a point then? Over the years there will be more issues that have to be discussed, problems need solving and if communication fails then there is more hurt coming.

Same, never heard of it before this post.

I need that template :D

All the time on science memes, try going back to ‘best of all time’. It can also make modding on mobile quite a pain, when you as a mod can’t see the post. Though the failed to load media is, what I have heard not due to the app itself but that the link in the post is broken and the app just has not indexed the post yet. Which is why other apps may show the post correctly because they indexed it before the link broke. However I can not remember where I read that. So it might be completely false.

I’d prefer that disclaimer too, helps to set the expectations right. Nothing wrong with it being in rats, it is extremely useful to know especially because testing it on humans always raises an eyebrow.

Tbh ya all don’t need to panic like that. While the finding appears to be sound what it does not tell is what happens in the cohort in 5/10/15 years. It is possible that an adult diagnosis of ADHD may only lead to an earlier onset and that the rest of the cohort will develop it in the same ratio. Until the cohort is not all through it doesn’t really say anything.

Besides they appear to have excluded anyone who was already diagnosed with ADHD to begin with and only assessed people who were diagnosed as adult.

It happens to the best of us, those Junk Mail Nation guys are not to be trusted. One introduced himself to me as deposed prince in exile looking for some help to land. Almost fell for it though.

In a sense - yes it is good to ‘be like everyone else’. Now before you all downvote, ask yourself what do we consider normal? When becomes a behaviour problematic?

we assume behaviour falls on a bell curve. At the extreme ends is behaviour that’s is considered to be ‘abnormal’ as in not normal and in the in-between is what we consider normal and what most people do. Abnormal does not mean bad or detrimental to one’s health however; it often sparks a negative reaction from others.

In line with this is the ‘insult’ to be extra unique, different or special would be not normal because most people are not at the end of the bell curve.

If we apply this to mental health: you may feel depressed at times. Doesn’t mean anything but the more days you feel that way, the further to the end of the bell curve do you move. At some point you are an outlier and we can safely say: you have a major depression. Now this is simplified but it gets the point across.

In other areas it is better to not be extremely unique, too. Think of school, in my experience being different is not a problem but being extremely different to your peers will have negative impact on you. They might pick on you or outright ignore you. This is not justifying this it is sadly how it often goes.

It did take me few seconds to see that the kid was, in fact, not sitting on a catapult.
