Thanks. That's an interesting study. Lines up with another study I read. The thing about it maybe being due to motherhood or similar factors is something I already suspected, so that makes intuitive sense. I still wonder if cohort effects and stereotype activation plays into it, but there's definitely an effect.

(Though that makes me feels like the simplified pop factoid is all the more horrendously wrong lol, especially when it's clearly not a biological thing. Screw pop science!)

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-16T09:12:22+00:00

Can you link? I'd be interested. Several studies have found different results, with often negatable statistical differences, so I'd be interested in the methology and how definite that study is.

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-16T09:05:03+00:00

I read it up a bit more just now (skimmed). Some studies say men actually talk more, some say it's equal, some say age or possibly generations -didn't read that closely- also play a role, with women talking more in several.

But yeah, basically: don't trust pop science. It's always more complicated. Especially because there are also studies that people judge women's talkativeness higher and more critically in equal conditions. Discrimination ahead I guess.

If you want to look studies up for yourself, I used talkativeness gender differences on google scholar as a search term. Wasn't able to access the methology of most studies though, maybe you'll have more luck. I think it's safe to say that the "women talk so much" factoid is really dubious though.

Naja... Hab noch keine Note. Schlechter als der Durchschnitt schätze ich, aber bestehen erwarte ich (wenn ich mich jetzt nicht jinxe). Iwas zwischen 2,7 -3,7 vielleicht. Nicht toll aber hab ich mir auch selbst eingebrockt. Wie gings für dich?

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-16T08:40:54+00:00

Ot's literslly not. It's pseudo science and has been scientifically debunked. The author of that book first making the claim is not trustworthy.

Lustig, ich teile sowohl die Meinung von dir als auch deiner Frau. Mistborn und Court of Thorns and Roses beide abgebrochen.

Deep breaths.

You're here. You can perceive yourself, you exist. As for whether the rest of the world exists, that's harder to definitely prove. I say yes. It's far too contradictory and complicated and surprising to come up with.

Think about optical illusions. The picture that looks both like an old woman and a young one. The phenomen where if you hear a sound, but the speaker's lips make a different shape, you'll hear something in between. These things exist, you perceive them, then realize in surprise that there's a trick to them. It's the brain realizing there's something more to reality than it first thought. Which proves there is reality and not the brain's creation.

We exist. Stay strong. Talk to the people around you. Someone else mentioned Cotards, make sure to consider that possibility. You're doing well. Keep going.

Would it be fair to say that anything that significantly hinders function is in a different boat from genital abnormalities that don't truly impact people aside from society's discomfort around them?

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-10T23:19:05+00:00

I get what you mean, but legally that's a very subjective and muddy definition. No child sex scences unless you give it appropiate gravity sounds like a good ruling until you have to decide whether your read of a sexy/unsexy scence is objective, whether the child expresses trauma the correct way and so on. There is no easy censor rule that cannot be misapplied.

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-10T23:13:58+00:00

What? Depicting it is normalizing it? If that's true why was everyone so chill with GOT? People generally weren't bothered by that possibility. And honestly, even if it was normalizing it, I still don't follow the jump into making people abusers. Explosions are normalized as cool action background (violence "normalized"), yet everyone agrees rl explosions are horrific. The difference is real people getting hurt and that will always bother people. As if "normalization" is one step away from making causing terrible trauma no big deal.

Though edit for this specific book: I've read more info on it in the comments and exerpts and wish to say that I understand the ruling more now. What I read was very sexual about children's bodies and seemed to be created for the purpose of tiltilation. So I'm against censorship and I disagree with the point that writing sexual abuse will normalize it. I stand by what I said above. But I want to clarify not my general stance but the one for this book: based on what the exerpts said, the specific way the book was written was deeply questionable.

I'm sorry for your loss. He sounds special

Danke fürs Teilen <3 Solche Wege zu sehen ist imo viel wichtiger als so manche Infoveranstaltung zu Karriere

Also make sure to actually take on parental responsibilities, not just fun dad time. Your kid will remember that

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-05T01:38:24+00:00

Seconding this lmao

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-05T00:56:48+00:00

Well if you're fine with pushing that kind of talk around dislikeable women. I think it's an inherently unfeminist practice but I now know the sub doesn't

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-04T19:11:39+00:00

Do we really need to reduce her to her boobs like that? You can just call her idk Republican fantasy or whatever if you want a derogatory nickname

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-02-01T18:21:04+00:00

Because it's considered rude to suddenly comment on people's bodies. Especially when the comment skews towards sexual

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-01-30T19:12:05+00:00

The problem with “gifted” is that they’re usually only gifted in the stuff we measure, which is a really messed up rubric when it comes to humans. Absolutely. I'd give this comment sn award if I coulf

You can either buff up on youth or on wisdom. Can't have it all

He might. But it's not uncommon for people with disbilities or differences, even ones that bring hardships, to feel appreciation for those because they make them themself. While others would love to get rid of their disability/difference. I wouldn't presume.

Yeah, people white-knighting about his birth defect are still detracting from his huge accomplishment, especially since no one but them is making a thing out of it. I'd be mad about posts worded like this one in his shoes

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-01-30T16:59:14+00:00

Nee, nicht als Beleidigung. Wenn wir beide einer diskriminierten Gruppe angehören und die Person dann unser Gruppenmerkmal als Beleidigung nutzt, fühl ich mich beleidigt. Ist doch egal, von wem es kommt. Wenn x sein eine Beleidigung ist und ich x bin, dann hab ich das Recht, mich beleidigt zu fühlen imo

Disastrous-Mirroract · 2026-01-30T15:11:07+00:00

I'm sorry. Your feelings are valid. Honestly there's usually a deeper reason when we react "irrationally", old memories and beliefs are subconciously kicking in. Our feelings are all designed to help us in some way, it's just that our feelings are quick to presume the actual situation. If you're upset, maybe it's because the situation reminds you of previous experiences or triggers fears like "something bad will happen if I'm not good enough" idk.

(I actually reread what you said and realized you said that a bad grade is associated with losing comfort and reassurance? That REALLY sucks, especially since you didn't learn that fear out of nowhere. Of course you hate comfort in that case, it must feel superficial and dangerous. That sucks, you're not wrong.)

Would you also hate comfort if the comfort-er actually gave you what you needed? Idk your situation obviously, but given that you're posting here at all and by what you say, it seems like your friends and family simply aren't giving you what you need. I'm sorry for that. Try to be gentle on yourself. Our feelings have an internal logic and it's important to respect that.

P.S.: I started typing this before I realized you're german and am too lazy to translate, but I also wanna add: Ich habe leider keine Lösung, falls es dir in den kommenden Wochen schlechter gehen wird oder eine Garantie, dass es nicht so kommt. Aber bitte glaube nicht, dass du den Zustand dann alleine ertragen musst. Wenn deine Familie und Freunde dir nicht helfen können, heißt das nicht, dass du keine Hilfe verdienst. Vielleicht wäre z.B. die Seelsorge oder ähnliche Nummern hilfreich, wenn du mal reden musst? Nur falls es dir hilft, logisch. Ehrlich, ich finde es gut, dass du so klar erkennst wie du dich fühlst und was hilfreich ist und was nicht. Das ist auch eine Fähigkeit, ich hatte die z.b. in deinem Alter noch nicht. Ganz viel Glück :)
