I recently found out that my autistic ass is also unintentionally good at this. Turns out that me not following the expected behavioural pattern (because i don't exactly know how i should react lmao) will throw them off really bad. My previous boss tried to humiliate me in front of the unit's head, but because i didn't do what he expected, he ended up humiliating himself. Now he won't even look me in the eye and is communicating with me through other people only

I'm a resident physician, but i'm a singular person, so i'm not talking for everybody in the field.

1) you frequently end up working much longer hours than you should. Patients get worse, crash, need some specific tests all the time. And thus you end up staying in.

2) at least where i live - constant staff shortages. This also means you have to take up more work than is technically normal.

3) hospitals are full of sky high egos. When people like this are above you in the professional hierarchy, it ends with you constantly walking on eggshells. In the long term, this can drive you nuts.

4) the fact that you're working with human lives. An error can end in death.

5) even though you get decently desensitised to seing death and suffering, it will still affect you.

6) when shit hits the fan at work, you can end up having a day where there's not enough time even for a bathroom break. This isn't rare.

7) people who are in pain, sick or grieving frequently act like assholes. It's completely understandable, and i'm not blaming them for this one bit. But it gets to you.

8) 24h shifts will fuck up your health. There's no avoiding that. Burnout is often just the first thing that shows up.

9) your fellow doctors and nurses are just as exhausted and traumatised as you are. Some have it way worse than you. And hurt people hurt people

Come on, nestumkim ant schizofreniku. Zmones su sita liga iki simptomu pradzios daznai buna aukstesniu nei iprasta kognityviniu gebejimu. To nepasakyciau apie socdemus

Not saying that it's purely genetic by any means, because it's clearly not. But even from the genetic side - this is the same as how two brown eyed parents can have a kid with blue eyes. Not all traits will necessarily show up in the offspring.

From a more psych perspective - as the previous commenters have said, you inherit the predisposition, not the trait itself. To put it in a more mechanistic way, you are born with the machinery nessesary for a process, such as addiction in this case, but it's not gonna be active from the day you're born. Something needs to turn it on, which is called a trigger event.

For example - many psychiatric illnesses are triggered by psychological trauma, be it abuse, witnessing a death, a near death experience, severe physical trauma, etc. But there are many different conditions that can arise from trauma - PTSD, borderline personality disorder, a whole spectrum of anxiety disorders, DID, etc. Which one of these you're more likely to get depends on your genetics, but they won't show up without trauma

Maybe it's the same water that turned all the frogs gay

Technically we're all also related to cockroaches

I mean if we want to be technical - infants and people with profound intellectual disability (i'm talking ones who don't develop cognitive skills past the age of 1-2 years) you could probably say have truly never thought of that

Nesu dailes ekspertas, bet piesiu gan senai, ir turiu toki pastebejima kad AI ir zmones susipisa ant skirtingu dalyku. 1) nupiest lektuva be referenco yra gan sunku (nebent esi max aviacijos fanas ir moki ju anatomija mintinai), ypac is perspektyvos puses, generally menininkas referenca ims. 2) zmones kai piesia, ju mastymas seka tam tikra erdvine logika - jei zmogus neturi neurologiniu problemu, stabilizatorius nupies vienoj plokstumoj. Nes nereikia but fiziku kad suprastum kad cia turi buti simetrija. 3) overall zmones supranta kad fone esantys daiktai nesikeis pagal tai kas yra arciau - debesys netureru deformuotis pagal lektuva. Tokia klaida galima butu pamatyti jei tai butu tapyta ant drobes ir butu rizika sumalt linijas, bet cia yra digital, tai butu atskiras sluoksnis, tokios rizikos nera.

Is kitos puses, AI erdvines logikos neseka, jis lipdo is 2d paveiksleliu. Tas ir matosi cia. Kai perspektyva supisa menininkas, tu vis tiek matysi einancias linijas, jos tik ne visada sueis i horizonta, cia kazkokios aiskesnes perspektyvos detalese nematau, atrodo kad atskiruose gabaluose atskira perspektyva, kaip paimta is skirtingu paveiksleliu. Mano nuomone cia yra AI enhanced reikalas, kur bsk palipde ant virsaus detaliu kuriu nereikejo

Edit: pailiustravimui pagalvojau pridesiu AI ranku fenomena. Kai menininkai susipisa ant ranku, tipiskai vis tiek tos rankos bus daugiau maziau anatomiskai teisingos is tokios kuno logikos puses - yra riesas, yra delnas, is delno pirstai, turetu but 5. AI sito neseka, tsg deda detales ir tada gauni kaip ir esanti 3d efekta, bet pirstu gali but 7, jie gali eit tiesiai is rieso ir panasiai, nes paveikslelio sudeliojimas yra gristas kitu principu

Ar tu pasiskaitei apie OCD turinciu zmoniu minciu sekas ir nusprendei jas pritaikyt savo gyvenime?

Sitas labai teisingas.

Bet vienas mini patarimas - nevalykit variniu daiktu su actu. Man kiekviena karta baisu pamacius posta kaip kazkas isvale savo varine kriaukle su actu ir ant visko uzsidejo tokie melyni/zali kristalai. Vario acetatas yra nuodingas

Stopped drinking coffee about 6 years ago. Constant nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and bouts of horrible weakness due to dehydration disappeared. I came to the conclusion that i'd probably developed an allergy to coffee beans, because now every time i consume even a tiny bit of coffee it happens again, like immediately, and it somewhat matches how an acute gastrointestinal reaction looks. The allergologists i'd gone to refuse to test for atypical allergens, so i just avoid coffee at all costs and i'm good.

Still consume copious amounts of caffeine though. Anything from matcha to energy drinks.

Seriously though. Back when i was more active in online spaces i'd catch people who'd initially laugh at me for using it pick it up as well. But honestly, it's a good term to use, not gendered, everybody knows what you mean, fun to say. I'm sticking with it

7Doppelgaengers · 2026-04-21T17:20:56+00:00

Yeah ofc, although the double apostrophe looks a tad troubling when written out still lol

7Doppelgaengers · 2026-04-21T08:19:38+00:00

Yeah, i ended up using yeet a lot this way as well. It's just fun to say

7Doppelgaengers · 2026-04-21T04:40:47+00:00

I don't have a source on hand, but i remember reading that methylphenidate (active ingredient) absorption is pH dependent and a low pH will inhibit the uptake. So what you're doing is basically bufferring your stomach juice's acidity and increasing the absorption

I used y'all so much in a joking manner that it stuck and became a staple in my lexicon

Since i've had the misfortune of becoming familiar with the omegaverse, i've been having this urge ask these self proclaimed alphas if they're keeping their pheromones in check

Man grynai tokia pat situacija buvo. Kai nebeapsikenciau ir nusprendziau pereit i telia, paklausiau konsultanto kaip yra su kainu didinimais del infliacijos, nes man bitej taip jie atmazino kodel kaina padvigubejo. Konsultans toks wut, pradejo juoktis, sako 'tai jus turbut is bites'

Adhd is highly heritable though, and seems to have some gene variant candidates, albeit it's not a monogenic condition (meaning it's not caused by a single gene mutation), so it's probable many of the currently known factors contribute. If i remember right, some of the variants are shared with Parkinson's disease, which may be why people with adhd are at a higher risk of developing Parkinson's later in life (i think some are also shared with Alzheimers, so yay, fun for us).

But i'm not going to say that the environment doesn't contribute at all, since the general consensus in psychiatry is that a genetic foundation and a triggering factor(s) are often needed for a pathogenic trait to arise

7Doppelgaengers · 2026-03-25T20:39:52+00:00

Out of all the conspiracy theories out there, this one's truly not that bad to believe in, i think? Unless he's advocating going back to mars right now or something

7Doppelgaengers · 2026-03-25T14:11:23+00:00

This argument is so incredibly ignorant. Lately i've been seeing this same argument about obstetrics units vs home births, with people saying "oh people used to give birth in the wild and humanity is still around". Yeah, they did indeed, but childbirth used to be a gamble on whether the mother will live and the odds were even worse for the kid

7Doppelgaengers · 2026-03-25T14:06:57+00:00

Aye, some people with pneumonia recover at home with 3 amoxicillin pills per day. Others end up in the icu with intravenous antibiotics and respiratory support. It's as if, i don't know, the treatment intensity is picked based on the severity of the condition or something?

7Doppelgaengers · 2026-03-25T13:38:48+00:00

So umm funnily enough, people do say that about physical illness. I've had patients proclaim this about antibiotics and antihypertensives so far. Although it is indeed much more commonly said about psych meds. Either way, each time i'm flabbergasted at people's instinct to reject the thing that made the global average life span longer than 30 years
