A couple of weeks ago, someone on here asked about weird/gross idioms or something similar. Someone called pooping “honking out a dirt snake” and it has rarely left my head since reading that post.
I honestly think I’d rather shit myself while farting than piss myself. If you shit yourself you can hide it and clean up. If you piss yourself everyone can see.
Neurotypical means literally none of those things, it’s the exact opposite. I think you mean neurodivergent or neuroatypical. Aneurotypical is basically a misspelling of the latter.
This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it’s unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).
A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.
But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.
This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.
Unpopular opinion: the cost of keeping people up there is astronomically (pun intended) high, so it’s only natural that they are expected to work way, way more than us here on the ground.
We may take a vacation and it’s alright. They take a day off and burn hundreds of thousands of dollars as they do so. Their rest is paid by insane amounts of primarily taxpayer dollars. Their schedule must be packed, and only the individuals capable of sustaining such workloads in space conditions should go there in the first place.
After that, indeed, they deserve a very long vacation to restore.
Putting [redacted] over slurs doesn’t make you any less rude. Just sayin’.
Astronauts have access to a team of psychologists and other medical professionals that do ring alarm if the mental or physical state of the crew isn’t compatible with quality work or is damaging to a person. But again, we can’t expect them to work 9 to 5 up there, and only select few that are most stress-tolerant are ever even suggested to go to space. This is not an easy position, and everyone is aware of that long in advance. They know what they are going for, and it’s not that they go there because they have no alternative. Many also have military background and are trained to remain attentive and productive under any circumstances.
As a mod in one of the places, I wouldn’t make much of a difference. The point is to keep it civil, not to avoid the emergence of “bad words” per se.
Before Reddit exodus, Lemmy has primarily been a place of politeness and mutual respect. Sad to see that stuff coming up again in this once pristine place.
There is really no need in such language, especially if your goal is to convey your point and make your opponent consider it, instead of virtue signalling and hostility. It’s no Xitter 'round here, and rageposting is not incentivised.
Well, first aid for an arterial bleeding is to “stuff a finger in the hole and get the person to lay down on the floor”. I suppose that could still be relevant here… If you have a cock ring I guess you could apply it as a tourniquet
I guess they forgot that people like Martin Luther King Jr. got shot and killed for speaking out against these so called “high T, alpha males.”
Being proud of using intimidation tactics is fucking weird and pathetic. Blaming it on garbage pseudo science lowers the bar into degeneracy. THEN turning it into victim blaming…“you’re too weak to have anything worthwhile to contribute” is just… wow.
Evolutionary psychology was an interesting hypothesis, but it will never recover from these dipshits utilizing it as the loudest dog whistle in history…used to justify sexism and bigotry. I wish they’d all get in elons rocket and be the first people to land on the sun.
