That’s what I thought when Trump got elected. I couldn’t wait to hear all the punk, grind, death and hardcore bands turn it up to 11 but damn was I disappointed.
I was married for 13 years to a BPD witch. It was abusive, one time I spit my own blood in her face (proud of that). She liked to pick fights and hit me. Other than restraining her from hitting me and catching punches, I only got physical twice. Once with a coat hanger and once when I slapped her while I was holding a baby. Finally lost my religion and got out.
After some time, I started dating again. Using OkCupid when it was still good. Made two piles. One night stands and prospects.
All the crazy ones went into one night stands. It was fun.
Prospects were primarily sorted by intelligence, communication, kinkiness, career, having failed relationships and kids. First date was a lot like a job interview.
I hunted down the white buffalo. We just bought a play farm. She’s nasty in bed, makes great money, is an amazing cook, sweet as pie, smart as a whip, has a fat bottom and is easy on my eyes. She’s all around a better person than me.
Second time around I married up. I do my best to measure myself against making her happy.
We compare ourselves to mules. We’re both pulling, if one mule stumbles, the other pulls harder until we can both pull again.
We’ve had tense discussions. Never yelled except during danger and never in anger. It’s so easy it’s scary. Trust and love that are still growing.
I’m you but still on the dating apps. So glad I got out of my marriage to that insane excuse for a woman, but man is the current dating landscape an absolute shitshow.
That section wrh similar articles towards te bottom is dangerous. I just went on a 30 minute dive reading abstracts of recent research studies of autistic people and only stopped because I have to get to bed soon. I’ll be back for more tomorrow.
This is pretty much what I was wondering. How many of these classifications (such as autism) cross cultural/linguistic boundaries?
Obviously nitpicking one identifying characteristic (object personification) isn’t really valid to dismiss the diagnoses entirely. Perhaps it’s a valid diagnostic and Japanese culture is just more accepting of certain autistic personality traits, where American culture would suppress them. Identification of weird/unusual/possibly unhealthy behavior can be hard to separate from cultural norms.
I don’t have any specific examples off hand but HealthyGamer on YT is a psychiatrist with both a western medical degree and traditional training in India. He often compares the two, where they align, etc.
l often get sent a long list of info/ criteria in excel. It’s often easiest (and traceable / maintainable back to their request) just to stay in the excel to generate large chunks of the SQL
