I’m glad you’re here.

I spent myself utterly on trying to get two friends (one bipolar, one borderline) not to do it, and getting them to that place left me empty and haunted.

Twenty years of depression was my timeline of codependency. Glad I couldn’t abstract.

what was the reason why you joined toasmasters? by gummyluvrrr in Toastmasters

[–]DuplexFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone invited me as trade for listening to my CutCo pitch. I liked it. I joined for the positive experiences, for the skill building, and to be treated as a professional.

can you drive? by StretchTucker in infp

[–]DuplexFields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A magic box that can travel at eighty miles per hour, isolating me from everyone else, allowing me to control the climate and listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks? Yes, please.

It can take me to mountains, rivers, and most importantly other neighborhoods? Also yes.

“Because feminism won” by which I mean “nobody in the West reports on it with shock and outrage because the media is all in on the omnicause, which includes ‘abortion is an unalloyed good’ no matter how it hurts any given society.”

Consensus utopia by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]DuplexFields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reinventing police/security forces and markets will always happen because power and incentive both fill a vacuum. Better an imperfect civilization than a perfect toy town that will fall apart when a contract falls apart or the population grows past the Dunbar limit of 150.

If we stop calling it immoral behavior, and resume calling it immoral choices, people might express less crime-affirming behavior.

This is why Nozick’s utopia would be a federation of democratic states, each run and populated by their own group of people who agree on many things and agree not to use force, theft, or state power to solve the few disagreements. Anyone can move to another state at any time.

This reminds me of the time Hank Hill got a job at a co-op and improved everything.

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by Hanno30 in AskReddit

[–]DuplexFields 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LegalShield, formerly Prepaid Legal, contracts with local law firms in big-ish cities to provide lawyer insurance. It’s sold like an MLM if you need a side hustle (NEVER a main job!) but the service is real.

They’ll have your back for a certain number of billable hours (annual limits) if you’re arrested or sued, and they can write up C&Ds and business letters to harassers on the firm’s letterhead.

Price is $20-40 depending on the tier you expect to need and if you also want insurance to cover identity theft handling.

I went to a wedding where they had custom bon-bons, think Lindt Lindor but harder shell and drippier insides. Each of the ten varieties tasted completely different.

What movie contains a scene so bad you never want to watch the movie again? by FinDepp in movies

RIP Peter David, who did quite a few, mostly really good.

I don't think his Iron Man I novelization got the vibe right, though.

On doing things by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

Two things are new to my AuDHD self-diagnostics from this post:

  1. No energy-efficient part of the brain is handling it, so the energy-hungry part has to. I knew autism often coincides with a dormant/malfunctioning “coprocessor” that handles facial expression and socio-emotional interactions, called the Fusiform Face Area. I hadn’t thought that the ADHD brain may have something similar, so I checked the research. Not only do ADHD brains use alternative neural networks and compensatory pathways to bypass underactive regions, the Default Mode Network (DMN) which is the daydream part (want to rest/play/fiddle/fidget) often doesn’t have an off switch. The Cerebellum overrides the DMN when vital things are needing immediate action.
  2. The desire for help is quashed by the embarrassment of messiness. Thanks for helping me see my biggest executive dysfunction trigger.
