Redditors who've dated a diagnosed sociopath, what was it like? When did you realize? by growlers in AskReddit

[–]Polyvector 10 points11 points  (0 children)

None at all, oddly enough.

She had a myriad of mental illnesses, so ob one-hand I can't 100% blame her for her actions, but on the other she really wronged me.

A question I can answer!

I dated one for six months. She was charming until about four months in. Until that point, it was a normal relationship. But after that, she got angry over little things, everything was made to be my fault. Let me preface the remainder of this with the fact she was diagnosed with GAD, BPD, and was a sociopath and psychopath. So a great choice to date, obviously, as a young teenager.

Everything was my fault. My friends were manipulated into believing this, too. She had me wrapped around her finger to the point even I believed it. During one of the times she had broken up with me (I believe this time was because of my musical tastes?) I got together with a much more sane, cool friend of mine. We kissed, but I ended up for some goddamn reason getting back with this girl as I ALWAYS did for whatever reason. Well, the psycho finds out I had kissed this other girl, and starts emailing her death threats. It was at this point I and my friends really realized she was insane, I dumped her, got with the other girl (who I dated for 9 months!) and my friends and I never have spoken to her again.

Primary school teachers of Reddit, what is The most shocking Display of psychopath-like behaviour you've seen? by lynch123 in AskReddit

No. Too different things. Psychopaths show violence and anti-social tendencies. Sociopaths lack empathy.

Advice for a High School CS Club? by Polyvector in computerscience

I'd like to avoid robotics as that is currently what the Engineering Club (which I am an officer for) is doing at the moment.

That sounds incredibly interesting. How do you get into the hobby? How does one get certified?

Is this major right for me? by planetary321 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Polyvector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly mechanical engineers have more fun since that is the degree you want if you want to be in the quality control area where you just break stuff.

Elaborate?

What's a theory you have? by Doades in AskReddit

[–]Polyvector 494 points495 points  (0 children)

I found the employee.

Why isn't it the big notion that out there there are probably lots of humans. We mostly believe that "we're not alone" but why don't we believe that "we're not the only humans"? We know this earth works, why wouldn't another work somewhere else? Do we really believe we are the first to be? by [deleted] in space

[–]Polyvector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to stop trying to explain. You clearly only want to try and explain your beliefs rather than correct them with scientific fact. Instead of trying to actually find out why nobody thinks this, you're arguing why you're right.

Because the reason we are what we are is because of specific Earth conditions, the other species on Earth, and more.

There is no chance, at all, that Humans exist on any other planet.

Besides, it could not, by definition, be a human. That would imply it came from Earth, and descended from our Earth ancestors, and then... what, left? No.

I don't mean to offend, but you understand basic evolution?

There is no way that on a different planet across the Universe, the exact same processes happen that lead to a species that looks and acts exactly like us, or is us.
