I do agree with the conclusion. - A new mission dedicated to answering the question of life on Mars is warranted. Earthbound discoveries of extremophile microbial life in the past decades have broadened our definition of life-enabling environmental conditions and discoveries of new classes of only intermittently alive cells/spores have broadened our definition of life itself.

Plus, apart from satisfying our curiosity, we will very likely get some insights into our own biochemistry along the way.

Let me rephrase the question:

Who is this actress? I feel I have seen her before, but I can't recall where and am lost for a name to google after.

who's that?

'Information Submissive' sounds perfect for me. It got just the right amount of hinting at kink. 😇

I am going to use that description from now on.

A very important distinction.

How can you get so worked up about the trolley problem and still completely fuck up the difference between responsibility and accountability?

Ah... but what when he actually liked the job he was doing? Presenting binary choices with leverthrowing might sound like a strange hobby to have, but I don't judge. Unfortunately, the discarded levers from the scrapyard don't really scratch that itch the same way... they must be connected to something consequential. But without switches to switch Mr. Leverpuller had to get creative: Thus the trolley problem variant with the fat man on a bridge became one of his more infamous later works.

Now I am 100% convinced that we have met before, digitally.

Sorry for the harsh reception. I thought you were just some random troll invading 'for the lulz'. (Your all-caps reaction to sharkfucker420 really enhanced that first impression)

Canonically, the reader/audience stand-in is Mr. Leverpuller. Am I to assume that he's riding in the tram? To where then? Without a lever for pulling he's now unemployed. He has lost his purpose in life. What's the use of safety, when the destination no longer matters?

The British Museum would have been so proud if they had gotten away with it.

How many people are in your swarm?

Autistic mind here: Reading yours is giving me a headache. It's like debugging a minecraft mod after patch day. Please reset aggression level to zero and run a malware scan.

 

On me at least. 😳

On the other hand, flirting blindness is a thing I also have, so it would probably be even more effective to reverse pickpocket me a slip of paper with a gamertag on it.

 

Listitems I have felt at least once before finding this: 7/8 Listitems I have known the name of before finding this: 0/8

How about you?

Also... what's the feeling called when reading something, thinking 'that sounds totally made up' - then doing a quick google and realizing its actually a thing?

 

Regular memeposting will resume as soon as the situation improves.

 

Especially on that one.

 

Zoning out of conversations is the worst...

...and it doesn't even depend on the topic being interesting or not.

 

I know it's hyperbole, but reading that was actually more inspiring than anything ever said to me by a neurotypical trying to motivate me.

I'll add another quip:

"Watch me swindle my way up an IT-career using nothing but my brain, a search engine and the power of spite."

 

But for me it's accurate either way, so I don't care. 😇

 
 

My takeaway from witnessing a friends journey between imcompetent doctors, side effect heavy antidepressants and increasingly whacky other depression treatment methods:

When ADHD is the actual root cause, leaving it unacknowledged (and untreated) will achieve nothing and cause unnecessary harm.

 

Me: Coming from the side of already confirmed autism, but still feeling to be missing a piece of the whole picture.

This site and corresponding YouTube channel with presentations and Q&A from current researchers: Very helpful.

They only have a small section about Au+ADHD together, but the video they did on the topic was eye-opening. I'll later link that directly in another post.

 

I don't know what I did wrong in 6th grade to deserve writing a 20 page essay as punishment and decades later it still bugs me.

 

0/10, would not achieve again. 😩
