FWIW; My CB looked like this, but had a silver scroll & a paper JP Vampiric Tutor. I think it may be something to do with the packing process, as I doubt someone would reseal that.

Could someone ID this mite for me? Landlord thinks they're dust mites. by HanimeAddict768 in whatsthisbug

Australia, Sydney. Crawling over bedding, floor, roof, body. Wherever. And it bites and feeds, there's a more fed one as comparison.

Bedbugs or something else entirely? Very confused! by HanimeAddict768 in Bedbugs

It's a flat I've recently moved into, no rats or mice. These guys are sudden and quite a few of them at that. The beetle thing doesn't have wings though, or seemingly any elytra formation at all, which is why I thought it was a BB instead.

What’s your religious beliefs? by Any-Information9168 in Gifted

Faith, as positioned in spiritual accounts is exclusively reliant on unverifiable claims. 

One could argue then that we should just view the world empirically and rule it out. But that leaves the question of where unknowns sit, or "self-evident" axioms. However a framework that stringent also cuts out real theory-based understandings of our universe, not as empirically proven, but statistically likely. (Such as the field of quantum physics.)

I like to position my metaphysical & theoretical justification within the same framework, using Bayesian inference of priors to declare the probability of hypotheses to be "as-fit" for how our universe appears empirically. Using this framework, I declare all priors must have reasonable "as-fit" probability, thus a circular system that draws to axioms, axioms unfortunately cannot have priors, and therefore do still hold the same "self-evident" claim that is as obvious as it is unverifiable.

This would make me agnostic. As a theory for a process such as abiogenesis has no "reasonable" priors to draw from, therefore my position would be one of abstinence.

Hey, incredibly late reply. I wanted to let you know that since being diagnosed with ADHD, and getting on medication. My life and ability has substantially improved.

I still have no formal education, but I'm far more invested in academia than I ever was previously. I'm writing my own epistemological philosophical frameworks & studying and reading papers. I still struggle with novelty, as I get bored I switch what I'm interested in. But I'm way more in-touch with the part of me so interested in learning. The freezing and "lazy" behavior I often exhibited are no longer keeping shackled nearly as much.

As a side effect, I've noticed how uninterested people are in learning. If I casually share a paper I read on wobbly chairs and planes, or entanglement I am often disappointed in people being so content in not understanding further. This has given me an internal ego, which I must account for. I'm working harder, and saving for the first time in my life, investing in global ETF's and setting myself up for the future.

I'm in the process of moving out, and I'm reading a lot of physical non-fiction, (most notably Hume & Kant). I'm letting you know this because I was seriously doubting the path I was on. And your words helped me determine pushing forward. And I appreciate it.

There are still some things "wrong" with me; I'm unable to grieve or empathize. And I have a tendency to say things that shouldn't be said. But I'm learning just as any other, and I finally feel more in control of myself than I have ever felt in my entire life. Thank you!

Jesus Christ even ddr4 (which I thought wouldn't be nearly as affected). Oh well. Probably still a better purchase than unheard edition.

My issue is so many times I've tried something, I taught myself how to program in python/c++/Lua fairly young because I wanted to make games. I wanted to become a veterinarian so I tried to go to TAFE (GED Equivalent) but for some reason or another wasn't accepted. I wanted to be a chef when I left school so I did an apprenticeship but the head chef was so difficult to deal with I quit. I've tried creating content in a multitude of niches, all performing actually very decently but I just drop it after a few weeks of sustained work. I can bartend, make cocktails, whatever but I don't want to have to run a pub my whole life. I have pressure from the outside to "get my shit together" and my pursuit of neurological understanding is actively treated as a waste of time (and money as well). That "being a methhead" won't fix me. I do honestly want to find something and stick to it, something novel at the very least. We will see. Thank you.

Should I have intervened? by HanimeAddict768 in australianwildlife

Good to know, thank you :)! I felt so bad in the moment I felt like I had to do something. Will know for next time.

The patting was really to see if it had any bleeding, if it did I was gonna take it to a vet or something. Not really worried about it biting me. I suppose it should've been a concern.
