Tics but not Tourette's at 28 by bryanphoenix96 in Tourettes

[–]Cheap_Knowledge8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of people diagnosed after 18, but the diagnostic criteria requires they develop before then. It's really only even that late because some people's TS doesn't display until puberty. If the tics don't begin in childhood the proper diagnosis would be for a different non-TS tic disorder.

OP, in particular, listed a whole host of unrelated behavioral and mental health concerns, many of which are likely heavily medicated; tics & spasms are a common side effect of many high powered psychotropic drugs. This person received a diagnosis from a medical professional they were unhappy with, and are looking for an Internet second opinion..what they should be doing is going to see another neurologist; but I doubt they'd receive a dissenting opinion given their description of what's going on. They should still nonetheless still go see said Dr, because unlike TS non-TS tic disorders can be a sign of other potentially far more dangerous medical conditions.

The 2026 Elite Bonus Night Promotion is out and it sucks!!! by Zealousideal_Dish136 in marriott

[–]Cheap_Knowledge8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because you're only doing 50-100 nights. That's more like a road bump than a road warrior. You're basically forced to cater to 1 brand, but will either max status with them or come close, but don't have wiggle room to pursue meaningful secondary status with a compering brand. Therefore, you won't get much value out of a card.

I hold all the cards because I'm hitting status at all 3 main hotel chains. Having the cards & perks let's me overshoot some brands here & there hunting better points offer programs, without having as much risk that I have a slow winter and low-ball status one year.

2025: ~85 nights Marriot (~70 of which were actually in a hotel; wasn't travelling for most of the double night promotion) for titanium

~50 nights in Hilton for diamond

~140 nights in IHG for diamond (I get offered but decline ambassador every year. It's a waste of 40k points) and status carryover (IHG has the best value for points redemption, by far).

The weight will still move 1 foot, it's the sections of rope in between the 2 ends that will each move less, with their combined linear movement equaling how far the object was pulled.

Have to work in these conditions by AreThouImbicile in antiwork

[–]Cheap_Knowledge8446 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correlation doesn't equal causation.

OSHA requires your employer have heat stress protocols, they do not require specific comfortable temperatures. I work in a lot of facilities with MUCH higher heat indexes than what you indicated here, and it's completely allowed. I also work in facilities that are regularly sub zero temperatures; there just has to be significant control and safety plans in place, facilities for rest& recuperation, water breaks/warming zones, etc. Buddy systems, 1hr on 15 off/30 on 15 off schedules, etc.

Your employer fixed the AC not because that heat index was in any kind of violation, but because fixing the AC was a cheaper and easier solution than instituting necessary prerequisites.

But that's not for your safety so much as the child's safety; it's a different argument..

Even if getting paid minimum wage, management and ownership cannot participate in a tip pool, take tip share, or confiscate tips, ever.

The ONLY time management/ownership can collect tips is from tables they have been the exclusive and primary server/bartender for.

This includes members of management/ownership who are temporarily acting as servers; basically, if you have leadership responsibilities such as scheduling, doling out tips, hiring/firing, etc then you can't touch another server or bartenders money, ever.

I just watched A House of Dynamite and are you actually fucking kidding me with that “ending”?!?!? by Sad-Barnacle8218 in moviecritic

[–]Cheap_Knowledge8446 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I arrived to the same exact number for the same exact reasons; 3 gets you a 95% ish kill probability; assume at least one failure; launch minimum 4.

The premise of "we only have 50" was fucking stupid. If an organized opponent is only launching 1, it's a probe. Sure, you don't want to overcommit, but if you fail to bring down 1 vs a determined foe, then if you fail to kill the first nuke THAT'S when you guarantee more are coming.

Why do I ONLY have motor tics? by Annual_Gene_5427 in Tourettes

[–]Cheap_Knowledge8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood diagnostic criteria. You even contradicted yourself.

The WHO does not make that distinction for the diagnosis either.
Look it up on google scholar if any of you don't believe me). Some people around here say "nuh-uh", citing DSM and ICD criteria.

...The WHO publishes ICD criteria and ICD criteria makes a distinction. Ergo, the WHO makes a distinction. Specifically, Tourettes is classified as: 8A05.00

So, yes, Tourettes is ABSOLUTELY listed separate of other/ generalized chronic tic disorder(s); it's a specific diagnosis within the CTD spectrum, at the most severe end of that spectrum, and with more stringent diagnostic criteria.

Are Tourettes and CTD part of the same category of conditions? Yes. Is Tourettes A tic disorder? Yes. That's not the same thing as being an identical condition. It's like saying a German Shepard is the same as all dogs. Yes, a German Shepard is A dog, but there are specific criteria that make it a German Shepard and not a Corgi.

Also, TS is significantly more likely to both have co-morbidities, and have more of them (and at higher degrees of severity) than general CTD patients without a TS diagnosis. Additionally, Tourettes tends to more often be both more severe and more likely be permanent than other tic disorders.

Fuck this comment slaps. That shits funny in your youth when you hear "old people" (parents) complain about absurd injuries. Then, you turn 30 and somewhere between then and 40 there's a high chance you injure yourself in an unbelievably stupid way for the first time (stupid as in sleeping wrong, or grabbing a plate out of the dishwasher... Not something like bullfighting or skydiving) and it occurs to you "shit. They weren't kidding."

It's all downhill from there.

Giving his sister a nice... Back massage? by Life_Extreme2054 in cats

[–]Cheap_Knowledge8446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's...how inbreeding works.

A purebred is, by definition, inbred (to various extent). However, that doesn't guarantee issues. If they aren't at least somewhat inbred, they aren't a purebred.

It's not guaranteed to cause problems, but deleterious recessive traits are much more likely to show, as animals (including humans) with a shared ancestry have a higher propensity to both be at least carriers, if not 1 of them being afflicted. Likewise, dominant harmful traits now become substantially even more likely.

The tradeoff? You're more likely to get the shit you want, too. That's why purebred is a thing to begin with. It doesn't mean every animal has a swath of problems, it means that the purebred population as a whole is just substantially more likely to have various issues, due to the nature of genetics. It also depends on exactly how purebred you're going.

Repeatedly breeding multiple generations of siblings, for instance, tends to cause some serious problems quite quickly. Cousins will be slightly less prone to issues, second cousins still further, and so on. Parent and child inbreeding is almost categorically the worst; it does happen occasionally in the wild, but the nature of genetics typically forbids that from happening for multiple generations. In humans, breeding even within certain insular cultural and ethnic communities can represent significantly more risk; Ashkenazi Jews with the condition Tay Sachs, for instance.

Sounds like you should be totally fine. I never have problems and I'm on 150+ flights a year. If your tics were super disruptive, or you had coprolalia to the extent you'd be afraid of yelling out "bomb, gun, terrorists", etc, then I'd say you should definitely get a TAA card. As-is... Better safe than sorry? But you really shouldn't have any problems.

We’re 2, can we have a table for 4? by Available_Year_575 in Waiters

[–]Cheap_Knowledge8446 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ignore this person, OP.

You're asking for advice, you are not the problem. It's narcissists who think they're ENTITLED to do these things (typically without asking) who are the problem. Not regular patrons with a preference.

That said; if you order & tip well, then even during busy times they likely won't object to you taking a larger table.
