  • I read one paper behind these claims, and it is interesting? Definitely a wild rabbit hole if you are so inclined. Some highlights:

    Paedophiles also have lower self-reported height than do hebephiles or teleiophiles (Cantor et al., 2007),

    The paper then asserts absolute height is a measure of health.

    The distinction they make is interesting. They discern between:

    — Right- handedness

    — left- handedness

    — mixed handedness

    and — ambigous handedness

    In summary, paedophiles demonstrated high rates of non-right-handedness, … whereas those who had a sexual preference for pubescent children evidenced increased ambiguous-handedness. Analysis of LQ scores indicative of ambiguous-handedness demonstrated that this was the correct classification as opposed to mixed-handedness.

    Results support a view of ambiguous-handedness as less pathological than previously hypothesized, …

    Rates of left-handedness in most neurologically typical populations are at or below about 11% (Perelle & Ehrman, 1994).

    teleiophiles [offenders targeting adults(17+ in this research] were not entirely typical. … with a rate of … 7.4% left-handedness.

    Paedophiles, however, demonstrated an accentuation of atypical lateral preference, with an elevated rate of … left-handedness (14.6%) …

    Seems like solid research, but some of the results and assertions are … well. Let me put it this way: I would like to see more research. It points to an interesting direction (criminal offenders beeing developmentally delayed), but I would like to know if a differently sourced population exhibits the same traits.

  • Diagnosed but unmedicated here. With Kids and "neurotypical" spouse. I love them all so much. It is exhausting. Everytime they wanted to add another family member I was like "no this would be too much". Also because of my fear that I could not do them justice. Then we had another family member. Also my spouse is awesome and does jump in when I'm unable to (that happens way more often than I'd like. its up and down. She still has a hard time understanding sometimes).

    Well I it is hard. We had to go through alot of shit. But I learned soooo much! I am happy in ways I never would have guessed.

    But you have to realize that in 10 years you will be different people with differing needs. There will be change and learning. About yourself. About your spouse. Looots of it. Much more than if we only stayed together as a couple. You will have to deal with the fact your child, that felt like like part of your heart, is it's own person.

    All I can tell you is: my life would have been emotionally poorer and lonelier.

  • Well I dimly remember after the 30 year war (? It was a long time ago I learned about this, could have been the restoration after the Napoleonic wars) the church gave up vast swathes of Land in exchange for a set amount of dividends from the state.

    But given that was after a drawn out tumultuous war, so I see your point.

  • Just last week I was re-patching some nasty piece of business logic at a client for a day and remembered the application "Filter Top" from the nineties, where I solved a similar (but slightly simpler) problem on a far inferior less advanced platform in a few minutes with a GUI even.

    Return to monke. I'm with you.

  • Well like all lunatic right wing theories this has a kernel of truth. He just needs to strike Jewish, and the purpose is even more money.

    From personal experience the "you're overthinking it, its just class warfare nothing else and that is bad enough " was to me the more effective way of pulling well meaning generally liberal/left leaning people back from the edge of the lunatic to fascism pipeline. I once made the mistake of doing "yes and (the Jesuits and the Medici)" in an ill advised attempt at humor. That person is not in my life anymore. It was far too comfortable being a hateful lunatic around me.

  • Not understanding your hate, I looked at their list of movies.

    Must have been incredibly lucky, but I've seen only a few a24 movies and liked all of them.

    Here are the movies for reference:

    • under the skin (2013)
    • the rover (2014)
    • amy (2015)
    • the hole in the ground (2019)
    • midsommar (2019)
    • the elephant queen (2019 apple tv release)
    • Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
    • the whale (2022)
    • priscilla (2023)
    • civil war (2024)

    Now I get that psychological horror is not for everyone, but I mean if something like priscilla does not get under your skin, I don't know...

  • The ability of Nazis to cosplay as "normal" conservatives never ceases to amaze me. The utter lack of empathy. The pure joy in making "the others" suffer. Nothing seems to alert conservatives. Even when they position themselves as "just revanchists" they are believed. Breathtaking.

  • Wouldn't something like a T1000 (50w/8GB) be okay? I know I use a much older matrox card (30w?/ w/ even lower TDP) for this purpose. It's not great, but it transcodes in hardware.

  • Just a possibility: Check if the m2 slot is for disk. There are many boards where there are WiFi exclusive m2 ports. For disks there are also m2 sata and m2 nvme port variations. You need to find out what yours are. Consult your motherboards technical documentation if in doubt. If the BIOS can boot from it, Linux can too.

    Edit: that beeing said I never encountered problems with a similar setup ( I boot from Linux on nvme m2 then there is a combined windows /data disk)
