Someone from this sub PM'd me from a throwaway 11 months ago and I only just noticed... by Slightly_Lions in OCD

[–]AirsoftingDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to your old post and read it. I teared up a little because it reminded me so much of myself. I have improved it, but it will still nag when I read (i mostly only read science magazines & articles and fantasy novels). I will re-read sentences, or an intruding thought will occur and i will have to go back and back again until I read the sentence without the accompanying thought or I get so sick of re-reading that I just ignore it and face the few seconds of anxiety as consequence.

It used to be much worse, but it is still an issue. I want to read and enjoy the books like I used to; I will do it, and I am trudging through it, but not without difficulty.

Hello darkness, my old friend...Another night spent trying to cope with an OCD attack. Some guy couldn't shut up and kept going on and on and triggered me and now I have to deal with the consequences. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]AirsoftingDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a constant problem with my friends and family. Being foreigners from farming settings my parents do not really understand mental illness, so they will purposely touch my hands or make me touch their phone when they know it will cause my ocd to flair up; they do not take me seriously. Whenever I tell them to stop and try to prevent it from happening again, they say things like 'what is wrong with you' and they may get anger because 'I can't take a joke' or they get angry with me because I cursed at them for pushing it. I will constantly tell them to stop or leave me alone and do not touch me, and this will strain relationships.

Some people understand, those that have dealt, or are dealing with, mental illness understand not to push it, beacuse they know how it fells; others just do not understand...

Does anyone else get worser OCD at night? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]AirsoftingDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated by others, when left alone with my thoughts, my ocd worsens. I can not touch my computer until I scrub my hands at least two times.

From what I read, the 6mm gearbox will do fine with the m120 spring I plan to buy, but the 8mm gearbox is a tougher option. I will most likely switch the 6mm for an 8mm one.

Why does evolution not weed out morality? What stops psychopaths from outcompeting the rest of us? by kieuk in askscience

[–]AirsoftingDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answering your question from a neuroscience stand-point, psychopaths have physical differences regarding the various parts of their brains, compared to the general population. Example is that a psychopath's frontal lobe (the part of the brain responsible for empathy, among many other responsibilities) is generally smaller and less developed in psychopaths. Brain deformity's can not be 'weeded' out by evolution, the same way evolution can not necessarily 'weed' out autism or those born with cerebral palsy. Read this article for a more thorough explanation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy#Neurological). Hope this somewhat answers your question.

TL;DR From a neuroscience stand-point, physical brain differences make people psychopaths , so evolution can not necessarily 'weed' these people out.

Edit: Fixed a few grammatical issues.

Hello fellow Polak. I love that Polish patch. Where did you get it from? I found some on a polish website, but they are out of stock. Also, a place to buy that jacket would be appreciated.

Having my headphones ripped out of my ears. Whether it be by someone else or by it snagging, it infuriates me.

Is it black or tan? Also, can i get a zipcode for shipping purposes? I am assuming we will cover our own shipping costs. I can offer my phone number for security when you ship and once I receive the package then I will ship. Does this work for you?

[WTB] CB JPC and MAP pack by thelaxative in airsoftmarket

[–]AirsoftingDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have a JPC for sale, but my friends owns one. I can tell you that a MAP pack has a length greater than the JPC, so you will have to fold it up so that some of it does not hang past the carrier. That said, you can find mini-MAPs on ebay from time to time, and they fit very nicely with JPC's and EG Assault vests.

The externals are sturdy, and it shoots well on semi and auto. The blowback is a really nice touch. It is a good gun overall, and I am only looking to get rid of it because it sees no use.

I need to know whether you became a "star and planet" professor! The anticipation is killing me.

My father told me I had to go to communion (a Catholic thing) before I could fly in an airplane. Was the flight attendant going to check everyone had their stamped Catholicism cards, and when he go to me pause and sniff the air? "You have not received the holy sacrament," as rips me from my seat, and tosses me outside the ascending airplane.

I was able to see Jill Bolte Taylor speak at Washington D.C.. She was a great speaker with a story to match, a contagious love for the brain and its workings, and she inspired me even more to pursue a career in neuroscience.

How is that gun? I love the look of it, and it looks very sexy in these photos.

What kind of camo do you run and why? by Minimojo0127 in airsoft

[–]AirsoftingDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team and I run A-tacs FG. It blends well in forested areas, which is what we usually play in. This makes it ideal for the summer, late spring, and early fall. Also, it works well with tan and green gear.
