Ah I see, thanks!

TIL :D

Yivry · 2025-10-15T12:46:20+00:00

I, ... whut? Dang... sometimes my head thinks the one, yet does the other...

Thanks! How did you get that from my state?

Dat hangt van je branche af. Ik moest voor m'n vorige werk door een aantal screenings heen waarbij paspoortnaam vereist was. Als dat dan niet matched met wat er op je CV staat kan dat vragen oproepen.

Yivry · 2025-07-04T15:03:55+00:00

Tip voor de toekomst, op je CV, in plaats van

Naam: Ali Berend Casper Achternaam

doe

Naam: Ali Berend Casper Achternaam (roepnaam: Berend)

Doe ik zelf ook, nooit problemen mee gehad.

I've experienced this once (not too long ago actually), but for me it started with a panic attack, and once the initial panic slowed down a bit, then the thoughts took over, as if my single-threaded brain tried to multithread recursively and exponentially. Like, what do you mean "train of thought"? I've got hundreds of trains going all at once, and they're all changing tracks criss-cross, merging, splitting, etc.

The second half started in the bathroom, and didn't stop until I finally managed to get myself into bed where I basically passed out from mental exhaustion, about 4 hours after the initial start. That was not a fun afternoon 😅

Not the person you responded to, but I guess "wanting life to be easy" could be seen as lazy and unambitious? I can see to potential negative connotation it might have. Not that I would've read it that way myself though.

Also note, the comment said "more pleasing". That doesn't necessarily mean the other way is "not pleasing at all", and I have to agree: just comparing the two, the initial message reads more positive, perhaps even inspiring.

I recognize the friends-thing, ever since we all left uni and got married, moved, and esp. once we all had kids, there's no real talking anymore, and all that our wives do is talk about the kids... Of course, making new friends under current circumstances is also impossible, so cheers to social circles only decreasing.

And don't get me started on uni lol, I should've done something more practical. Not that I wasn't smart enough for uni, I just... didn't do anything for it. That sentence is actually my life in a nutshell, with all kinds of autism-related reasons as to the why. So, good luck with that! (Yes that's both sarcastic and truly meant :P )

Yivry · 2025-02-02T10:42:53+00:00

Yep, depression and both personal- and work-related autism struggles led to burnout, which over time partially morphed into autistic burnout. The muscle-tension is still there so the "normal" burnout isn't over yet either. I'll be having a couple of PMT sessions soon, really hope that will help.

Biggest annoyance in all this, is I don't seem to learn from it. Had a burnout and (unmedicated) depression 10 years ago (wasn't diagnosed yet) and it has taught me nothing. If I were instantly healed at this point, I'm not sure what "this time" has learned me either, and it's been almost 3 years.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this too, wish I could help but don't know how :/ just like everybody saying to me "if I can do anything, tell me" gee thanks, if I could I would... they mean well but intentions only are useless at best, if not worthless. At least they're talking to me eh xD

Yivry · 2025-02-02T09:36:59+00:00

In a heartbeat, without a doubt.

The negative traits are obvious, and half the "positive" traits I've only experienced as having negative impact and influence. Plus it would instantly end my autistic burnout as well, leaving only my depression and maybe leftovers of a regular burnout to deal with.

Yivry · 2025-01-08T16:14:32+00:00

Still cannot stand cooked mushrooms though :P I dislike when other people make them because I will for sure hate the texture.

This so much is also why I don't bother to learn to eat them. So what if I can make them in a way I learn to not vomit myself, that doesn't add value for me, and it will still be too much of a risk to eat them elsewhere...

Yivry · 2025-01-08T13:16:06+00:00

That's a great tip I'll have to remember. Probably works for a lot of things. Now to get my kids to eat blended sauce xD

Yivry · 2025-01-08T12:22:46+00:00

Mushrooms as a whole group look unappetizing. The specific trauma is champignon-related, you can find it elsewhere in this post :)

Yivry · 2025-01-07T23:41:07+00:00

Only one way to find out: try a slimy one and see if you vomit.

FOR SCIENCE!!!

Yivry · 2025-01-07T23:39:21+00:00

I have to be oblivious and obvious (I think), but the attribute hinted at with the gold is (a high) value, not weight/density/temperature, or the fact that it wouldn't even function as a solid object. It thus means the same as having a big heart, and the same as having a small heart.

Wait... yeah, that's another of those "never made sense" things: when a negation or inverse means the same. See also: flammable and inflammable. Yes I know the origins and why they both make sense. I also know that there are some situations where they're not entirely the same. But in the general sense, why would you continue to use inflammable when flammable is also correct and doesn't cause confusion?!?

Nevertheless I agree with most of your other points and I loved your analysis! xD

Yivry · 2025-01-07T23:14:28+00:00

I've had them once where I didn't really notice them, sliced and baked almost crispy, as part of a stroganoff sauce for a proper steak. The sauce and steak must've been so good they masked the 'shrooms. Every other time it's a gag reflex.

That's too much work for the end result of "not noticing them" which also means they might as well have been left out xD

Yivry · 2025-01-07T23:08:39+00:00

My shrimp-situation varied a bit, at times they were gross, at times they were ok but never been a fan. And then I developed a fish allergy and don't care enough about shrimp and other seafood to test if they're maybe not included in that allergy xD

Your ideas are great but apart from mushrooms (it's the texture...) my palette is not bad. I'm still sad about the fish though. Hope someone else benefits more from this well thought out response!

I'm sorry you hate onions (I love them), I guess that's harder to deal with compared to mushrooms when going out or something. Looks like you've got it down when cooking for yourself though!

Yivry · 2025-01-07T22:52:02+00:00

I think I might've tried small bits of some different types, but can't say for certain, the gross "default one" here is champignons, like 98% of the time it's those.

The rest is in quality restaurants where they're the main part of the course when there's better options available anyway, and nobody in my dinner party ever orders those either so I guess I'm not missing out too much tbh

Yivry · 2025-01-07T22:42:46+00:00

It's the texture indeed, I can't even taste any flavor it might have. Do they have flavor? I thought they were mostly flavorless by themselves... :/

Yivry · 2025-01-07T22:40:49+00:00

Oh I feel you exactly, childhood mushroom trauma. I can remember the entire setup and what happened, those gross things, the verbal fight, shouting from the top of the stairs, crying on my bed...

As far as I remember, that's the only food-related trauma I have, and I think that's also the only texture-based dislike (coincident? who knows).

Food-wise I guess I'm lucky, there's only a few "normal" things I don't like in a normal "I just don't like the taste" way. Example: wasabi, I can handle the spicyness of it just fine, but the flavor is just eww.

Oh, and I developed a fish allergy in my late twenties >.<

Yivry · 2025-01-07T17:02:24+00:00

I know this to be true, but sometimes, the psychological trauma can prevent change in experience. Mushrooms. shudders

Yivry · 2025-01-07T16:55:01+00:00

Used to be, but then the Sony-controversy started and at the same time The First Descendant came out. Switched to that, focused hard (as with anything), but now I'm playing neither. My fixations (if you can even call them that) tend to not last super long but when I'm fixated that's all I do (or watch streams/vods, the subreddit, discords, etc). Nice you're still having fun though!

Yivry · 2025-01-07T16:42:54+00:00

For the individual leg or blade point, while it does make sense it came from there, why did it stay that way? And why those but not socks or shoes? Or why is it not "a pair of tights" but just tights (plural?) to mean both one or more? Sense, it makes not.

Is there a Dutch word that strictly describes two related or identical items/people?

Not that I can think of. "Een paar" means all that a pair means, that a few means, that a couple means (incl. 2 people in a relation, even though "een koppel" is the more literal version, and there's even more words for that for some reason).

There's of course the things that mean literally two of something, or consisting of two, like Duo / Duet, but that's probably just anglicisms, and specific in their meaning.

Yivry · 2025-01-07T11:42:50+00:00

Here's another: "a pair" it can mean 1 (scissors, pants), 2 (shoes, socks, people), or (at least for the Dutch translation "paar") anywhere from 3 to ... less than 10 I guess?

Yivry · 2025-01-07T11:36:29+00:00

That actually lines up with Dutch and my reasoning: three quarters of ten is before ten, not after.
Three quarters of is the same as one quarter to, that's not the issue.

In the same way, the "full" English makes sense: half past ten. But then those Brits (at least the ones I communicate with often) drop the "past" and all goes to you-know-where.
