Psychiatric diagnoses are made with time and extensive interviewing. Usually you need symptoms to be present, persistent and having a negative effect on the patient’s life for a diagnosis.

You do raise a very good point though because there is so much more subjectivity diagnosis can take a long time, a part of it is trying to rule out what you describe.

Apparently you really offended all the people who do get chips and curry sauce from the Chinese. Which always felt a bit sacrilegious to me, like these places are known for amazing rice and noodles so let’s get fried potato which we can get at basically any other food place in the UK.

The driver is obviously at fault for using a 2 ton metal box to kill someone whilst drunk. The fact that they died as well just means justice is working quicker.

Whistle with my fingers, took a good few weeks of practice over one summer blowing spit all over my fingers but eventually I learned. Still a really useful skill today.

Interestingly for me my hair is much better without that, my head is more greasy and itchy when I’m using head and shoulders than when I’m using something else. I’ve switched to bar shampoo recently and been getting on really well with faith in nature shampoo bars.

I enjoy both. I switch between fiction/fantasy heavy and science heavy. Sometimes I’ll do a run or a series of one and get a hankering for the other. Usually I prefer my sci-fi more science than fiction. I love the expanse and the martian for example. But I also enjoy the culture and the Polity books which are more fiction than hard sci-fi.

I’m pretty sure the anachronisms in a knights tale are deliberate to give modern audiences more appreciation for the feel of things for the locals of that time period. Great movie. Always forget it’s really long though.

Well shit, I was playing dying light 2 yesterday. It’s mildly better than the other game I’ve been playing Pathogenic which is a rogue lite where you play a pathogen trying to kill the scientist who made you in a lab.

Think I’m pretty screwed either way to be honest. At least I’m dying light 2 I get to be human and do parkour so that’s cool.

Steam OS? Or emulators? It’s not like an old laptop is going to be running modern games

Could you just put Linux on the old machine instead? I suspect that would be safer.

And party on dudes.

This looks fascinating. It also has a demo. I’ll be giving it a go. Thanks for sharing.

I can touch type pretty well. Dyslexia not withstanding. I learned during the MSN messenger years.

I can also blind swipe text on my phone with not totally atrocious accuracy. Still need to proof read them before sending though.

What system is that? That’s a lot of d10s.

Gotta love the shiny click clack rocks. Such an easy rabbit hole to fall into.

Just another chipping in on the Eufy solar. I’ve been pretty impressed so far with a few minor niggles.

Generally it works well, connects nicely to the repeater and rings ok. Solar works great no issues with battery power on our south facing front.

The main selling point for me was no subscription or remote server connection.

It’s annoying if it loses connection to the WiFi. I’ve actually turned the security mode (which makes it scream if taken off the wall without turning that off first in the app).

Thanks, damn autocorrect.

Drowning in a small space like underwater caving. I’m a bit catastrophic (claustrophobic). Normally no issues with water but the thought of being trapped somewhere small and watching it full up with water terrifies me. Safe to say I am never going caving or swimming in caves.

Oh and the apparently inexorable march towards fascism in the UK and the west is pretty bad too.

Is the twist that they are actually in hell? Cuz I guessed that about halfway through the first episode when every single character was an insufferable ass. Which coincidentally is also why I stopped watching. Very American humour I think, it felt similar to Parks and Rec, another one which everyone seems to love that I bounced off hard.

Seconding this with caveats.

Masturbation is normal, natural and healthy (reduces the risk of prostate cancer in men). Unless it isn’t, it’s not healthy when it is an addiction and masturbation is getting in the way of life. If you’re not seeing friends or missing work or school because you’d rather watch porn and jerk off then that’s a problem. A therapist would be the best person to talk to about that if you do have an addiction.

If you’re just masturbating a few times a week then carry on, enjoy yourself and don’t feel guilty.
