Trump can’t afford to dislike anyone overwhelmingly popular.

Where is the bayBEY saying from? I love it and recognize it from “let’s talk about myths, baby” podcast, but I doubt that it originated there.

Beep boop.

I am confused, is there a human translater on the phone, AND a translate app?

Homestuck is about this

The network effect is the phenomenon of “all of my friends are on Facebook, I better join Facebook,” or “all my follows are moving to Bluesky, I better move to Bluesky”.

Here is how Cory Doctorow explains it:

A service has “network effects” if it gets more valuable as users join it. You joined Twitter to talk to the people who were already using it, and then other people joined so they could talk to you.

I like how we’re doing screenshots now, apparently. And also copypasting the text. Sharing links to comments is not always straightforward in the threadiverse.

Also Siouxie (of the Banshees fame) was originally a Sex Pistols superfan.

What is friendica like without the network effect of real people? Or are you connected to IRL friends on there?

And thus, ray-tracing was born.

Those wild ideas would be good for someone

YOU UGLY!

In my experience they don’t care

Yes totally it bothers me a lot when words mean something different than what it seems like they should mean…

Weird i didn’t think the R slur had any place in medicine any more.

I have plenty of bad memories involving that word :(

Please don’t use slurs :(

Thank you for your explanatory responses. I decided to look up an authoritative definition for myself. According to what I found, it isn’t a medical term and doesn’t have a medical definition, so means whatever people say it means. Which is I guess how language always works, it is just that it is a new word with roots that imply a broader meaning.

The lists generally exclude personality disorders, but this doesn’t seem logical to me, although I am not a neurologist. I thought all brain differences arise or manifest as differences in the brain structure.

How could anyone ever forget

Also the road to getting to that helpful therapist may be long, short, bumpy, or smooth, but is a journey worth taking and a rewarding process even if you have bad experiences with individual therapists not getting you, as weird as that is to say.
