It's not just you.

Having an all-AMD system certaintly helps.

Me, reading this on the toilet:

"Okay then."

It's absolutely manageable with medication and good therapy.

The medication is there to get them calm enough so the therapy can do it's work. But the medication will probably also be something they need to take their whole lives. The worst seems to happen when people go off their medications, in my experience.

There is also now genetic testing that can be done before prescribing medication so you can know exactly the best biological pathways that your body has. In essense, which drugs are most easily metabolised by your body.

This gives psychiatrists a better path to finding a good set of drugs that can help instead of going in scattershot. Knowing which drugs will be best metabolised by your body avoids wasting time on drugs that don't metabolise well.

I strongly suggest the genetics testing for this and I stress the importance of finding a good therapist your son trusts.

You know they make displayport cables without the clips, right?

War... War never changes.

Since weird sex shit is usually projection with these guys, my money is on he is gonna really enjoy getting absolutely cucked.

Hell yeah, he just put out another new one last year, too.

I am glad he is still around as well!

This comment section gives me hope.

Good job, Lemmings, for recognizing this for what it is.

Cultural Memetic appropriation

Even this meme was stolen.

Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author's phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.

Telegram was always a bad actor with misleading claims about their communications service. Not shocking at all.

Props for DE being at the top of your list.

There was at least one Squid from Lemmy that took a Flying leap to go there.

Holy shit somehow no one has mentioned:

Nier Automata

It counts as a masterpiece because of how well it blends game design, gameplay and story. I have played very few games as thoughtful, or that weaved the gameplay together into the story it was telling in such a meaningful way. I never thought once in my life that I would think philosophically about bullet hell but somehow Nier Automata has something profound to say and even manages to say it using bullet hell as a gameplay mechanic.

On top of all this, it also has a lot to say about classical philosophers, their works, and honestly deeply subverts things they had to say. It asks tough questions about their thoughts and ideas, once again, through gameplay. Numerous characters are named for classical philosophers: Pascal, Jean-Paul, Simone, Engels, Immanuel... (Yoko Taro obviously has feelings about how Jean-Paul Sartre treated Simone de Beauvoir.)

Further, Yoko Taro is doing something that a lot of game developers fail to manage to do: He is embracing gaming as a storytelling medium and eschewing the traditional three-act arc from film. Because gaming is not film. As Marshall McLuhan posited, "the medium is the message" and unlike other developers Taro's writing is aimed at the medium he is working in instead of leaning on the ropes and tropes of other mediums. (Referring back to above, tying the gameplay into the story, focusing on the medium)

It's basically impossible to not break down into tears at the ending.

Don't write it off because of the scantily clad anime women. Stay for the depth of the human condition. It is truly a masterwork in multiple respects.

It's more like everyone is literally at their limit for taking care of themselves and literally has no energy leftover for others.

I think this is purposeful to socially divide us.

More aggressive driving. Statistics even support it so it's not just an anecdotal thing.
