You are amazing. I have not paid super deep attention to these but seem them nearly every time you post and think that what you are doing is really cool.

The wealthy don’t need this card. They just hire a lawyer who knows embassy staff by first name and that’s that.

No. You feel bad which means you are capable of empathy.

I’m happy to hear that you looked up some of this for yourself. I figured that it was the definitions that were catching you more than the concepts.

The DSM has some very odd references in it. For instance, “retarded” is a technical definition that exists and is a possible diagnosis even though society has long moved passed that concept. Mental health is weird.

Neurodivergent includes all those categories except the disorders or illnesses. Here’s why:

Things like psychopathy are caused by structural differences in the brain that make sufferers incapable of experiencing the same set of emotions as most people. Many negative behaviors are caused by lack of inhibition or empathy for others.

People with autism and adhd process information differently and respond to the world differently as a result. In severe cases this can lead to an inability to engage but will generally result more in inappropriate engagement.

Behavioral health conditions are a mix of psychological and neurological issues that require a wide variety of interventions.

These are very different things.

I think that what you are noting is that narcissism can be caused by differences in brain structure, like in psychopathy, or by differences in upbringing, like in sociopathy. In the first case, you’re born that way. In the second case, trauma and such made you that way.

They are different things.

Neurodivergent people process information differently but have all the correct parts to process. They may interact with the world in slightly different ways but do not have a personality DEFECT.

People who are narcissists are missing a primary component: empathy for other humans. Their minds are fundamentally different than neurotypical and neurodivergent people.

Those are personality disorders, not forms of neurodivergence.

What doesn’t add up to me is why he used a gift card instead of using credit. I suspect that there is more going on here.

It’s not personal. How many idiots have lied, been ignorant, or didn’t think it was important and caused a lot of trouble in the process?

Ex: in free clinics that specialize in sexually active gay men, they don’t ask if you take street drugs, they ask if you’ve ever taken Viagra without a prescription. Stimulants cause impotence.

Isn’t cinema already experiencing agonal breathing?

Bonus points if they open Spotlight and type “CMD”.

Thanks for that input. I might look into something.

How difficult was this to do?

Do people genuinely rely on these or are they really just a novelty?

Thank you.

I keep seeing this reference but missed the news. What’s going on?

Why is it necessary to go on the attack over a past attempt that didn’t work? That’s how innovation functions. Sometimes you hit the mark and sometimes you don’t, but everyone learns from the process.

This is the most accurate take I have yet seen.

There’s a big difference between doing something in a lab and mass producing it for millions of people.
