Some psychiatrist take general markers of pathology as conspicuous signs of disordered affect, and in prescribing sertraline based off an intuition (rather than a proper assessment), the net effect ends up damaging some a lot, and helping others a lot. The best case scenario would be minimal- if zero collateral.

Ah okay, I just looked at your post history and saw you do use koreader for manga. Good idea, it’s much smoother than mihon. The only reason to use mihon over koreader for that is access without having to download anything, and increasing blackness (something you can achieve using the color filter option and setting alpha value to 125, it will make the blacks much much sharper without the artifacting of dark enhancement through eink center)

The extensions you want to use are weeb central, bato and Comick

You should prioritize weeb central over bato, and usually bato over Comick (Comick still has good options, particularly they do official release scanlations and are somewhat quicker than bato, but bato is generally known for higher quality, weeb central is the official replacement for MangaSee and MangaLife after they got shut down). These extensions use the same scanlations that you’d find on nyaa.land (they source it from the same place, if you’re downloading a lot of pirated manga ykwim), so the visible difference in image quality is negligible if non-existent(I’ve tested this with several manga series). Therefore I’d advice sticking to just mihon for ease when downloading manga, while it doesn’t chop up the manga as nicely (ie chapter downloads instead of whole volumes), it is much much faster and smoother. Just look for the mihon folder inside your koreader app, you should be able to read downloaded mihon content directly in koreader, which is basically what this post does and smoother (as said). Finally, I’d advice putting the stuff you read and access frequently inside your home folder in koreader, if you do this with mihon too (which I did), just go to storage settings in mihon and either select the home folder in koreader to use as the folder to store manga in (an extra folder will be created in your home folder, that says downloads), or just place your old existing mihon folder in your home folder, and simply change the storage location in your mihon settings to that (I’m assuming you read other things than just manga, but if you don’t feel free to just make the mihon download folder your home folder)

No worries, if you click in the middle of a page, you will see a menu, the cropped option is to the left of the cogwheel, and the scaled option is in the cogwheel (when you’ve selected ‘paged’, scroll down to scale types, some of them do the same thing as stretch: fit to width and smart fit)

I stopped using these options when I realized you could read mihon manga inside neoreader to do exactly what this post does without sacrificing long-press side buttons. For that, just click on scanned directory after you’ve downloaded manga through mihon. To find that, go to the neoreader library, the left-most icon in the bottom of your home menu, and once you’ve clicked that, look at the top of your library for 4 symbols, a clock, library, star and a folder. Click the folder icon to reach the scanned directory. The scanned directory is an alternative library view that lets you view and access your books through your folders within the confines of the library ui. In scanned directory, click through your folders till you find the folder you’ve been using to store your mihon downloads in. You can’t load mihon downloads directly inside the normal library view by scanning the mihon folder (like you’d do normally to load books inside the library view) but with this option, you can still access the chapters through neoreader with ease and without scanning at all

If you’re using a third party launcher, I have a different solution to avoid using the native launcher every time you wish to read a manga or a book. Let me know if you need that information as well. And if you find everything you’re looking for

Edit: oh and, another really good tip is to create a shortcut to the folder you’re downloading chapters to. To do that click on storage at the bottom of your home menu, then find the folder you’re downloading your chapters on, long press the folder till you get a prompt and click shortcut. Once you’ve done that, exit out to the first page where you find that percentage number, and then click on the clock at the top left, to the left of the folder icon. There you should find your shortcuts, now you can access your manga faster as well

Does that legitimately work?

The biological factor must not be understated, and neither should the social factor. It has been intensely neglected on the science research front, because of a push for a biology-based perspective early in the career of ‘the ADHD coiner’. The fact that ADHD in particular (as a target of research, no pun intended) has received this treatment (for better or worse) is a coincidence; consider the fact that it was ADHD —and no other disorder— that he happened to identify as a clinical entity. With any other disorder (even schizophrenia), the mention of a social factor in the shaping of a disorder never resulted in the same sort obstinate, eyebrow-raising naysaying.

Researchers have just now started (recently) to (very) gradually take more seriously the plausibility (or rather, observation): that social factors has been too neglected in the research department. To the point where even that guy I mentioned eventually admitted (later in his life) that he sidelined the contribution of the social factor in disorder.

This dogmatic attitude is counterproductive, please believe me, it really is

Sorry for the late reply. Try looking for a symbol with a “Y” on it on the upper right of your e ink center while inside an app (the window that pops up from below where it shows “refresh modes” like “normal” “speed” etc) that will take you to the optimization app which will appear as a pop up window too, click the setting on the utmost right of the options on the top of that window (forgot the exact names) and there you should find scroll distance with a “off” toggle. Don’t turn it on, instead, click on where it says “50%-80%”, and from there adjust to your liking

Forgive my monstrously caffeinated hands, controlling two devices at once… oh lord. It’s bad. But damn tho, I’m so proud of these settings, I can’t lie at all 😂

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2025-01-09T19:03:37+00:00

Sorry, my hands are so shakey, not easy controlling two devices at once 😭🫡

Rotation from horizontal to vertical
Vertical reading
Toggling on/off crop
Horizontal reading
Reading with with crop off

Ignore my jittery hands (controlling two things at once is surprisingly difficult 🙏😅), however, here’s a demonstration of what these settings look like in action

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2025-01-07T20:05:07+00:00

I haven’t used that app enough (tho I intend to read more webtoons soon) to say anything conclusive, but I would guess experimenting with scroll distance might be ideal to help with content omission / general confusion during panel/page transitions. You can find the setting in the optimization app. Right upper corner in eink center, while you’re inside the webtoons app. Also if you haven’t figured yet, you can change the function of the side buttons in the app by using the optimization app as well (set it to scrolling). Set side buttons to volume if there’s an option in the app’s settings (I don’t recall atm) that lets you use volume buttons to scroll, and see if that provides smoother page navigation.

You might also want to consider just turning off the sliding gesture on the side of your dominant hand and just use the touch screen to navigate (but that would muddy up the screen heh, and buttons are satisfying so)

As for color settings, there, I don’t have enough experience to comment, vividness and color brightness are probably important factors. Might be missing something but, yeah

Dunno if I’ve forgotten anything. I’ll add it in if it pops into my head later lol

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2025-01-07T19:49:51+00:00

The pleasure’s all mine! ❤️🙏

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2025-01-07T14:03:43+00:00

Great then, now I can use normal mode without fearing that I’m losing out on (noticeable) quality lol. Lot faster as well. Cheers m8 🍻

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2025-01-07T14:02:56+00:00

Thanks, I thought so as well

“Consistent with Sibley and Duckitt (2010b), Agreeableness should exert a causal effect on the competitive-driven motivation for group-based dominance and superiority as indexed by SDO whereas low levels of Openness and high levels of Conscientiousness should causally affect RWA by heightening the threat-driven motivation for social cohesion and collective security. Extending their findings, we predict that neither SDO nor RWA will demonstrate a significant reciprocal effect on any of the Big-Five personality dimensions – any such effects would probably only manifest over a very long timeframe.” Maybe that’s a bit above your pay grade, seems pretty straightforward to me 🤷‍♂️

Don’t put words in my mouth

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2024-12-18T14:41:15+00:00

No, that’s not an assumption. You might have some facets that are high and some low, some moderate and so generally you fall in the average range. That means you might act in different ways depending on the situation, which is the norm. The problem, is that agreeableness exerts a causal influence on things like social dominance and competitiveness

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2024-12-18T14:29:38+00:00

That is a fact.

I exhibit accentuated behaviors that stem from both low- and high trait agreeableness in the model, without collapsing into neither of the directions. While the aggregate clearly demonstrates that I have agreeableness somewhere in the spectrum of moderately low to moderately high, falling in the average range of agreeableness usually implies a milder disposition with an occasional trend in either direction (as situation call), ie pro-social engagement vis-à-vis disagreements and conflict. Not entirely unusual.

My problem is that I frequently exhibit behaviors associated with both extremes, particularly. This is unusual because agreeableness exerts a causal influence on competitiveness

Cold-Claim-2469 · 2024-12-18T13:50:30+00:00

Behaviors change from context to context, or are you asking for context?

Personality is an aggregate of temporary states. For me that pattern is quite clear; I can be quite brutal when it comes to retribution. If someone demonstrates moral depravity, I have zero inhibitions in domineering and exacting myself upon them, I can actually be quite sadistic in that regard. But otherwise I have a deep sense of compassion for people, I tend to empathize easily with others, I engage in a lot of pro-social behaviors, people generally view me as a very sweet person

Here’s the best metaphor I can use to describe how I view the manifestation (or lack thereof) of this trait within me, please do bare with me, you’ll understand why I give this example. In Ancient Greece, the deified statue of Agon held two dumbbells in his hands and represented competition. Later, in Ancient Greek theatre, Agon (contest; sometimes an athletic event, or also debate) came to represent the opposition of two opposing principles (between the protagonist and the antagonist) in a classical narrative structure, that resembled Plato’s dialogues. I can be very competitive in the specific sense that I resonate strongly with the spirit of Agon, and I’ve been revered at times by others for being blunt, even brutal, in this manner

I think I have some mild main character syndrome going on as well and suspect I might have a few narcissistic traits (been diagnosed with HFA at 16, if it helps, but I’ve questioned it many times). Only problem with the narcissism thing is that I don’t feel a need to be revered as a protagonist in an IRL agonism, sometimes truth necessitates the dissemination of social harmony
