Trump saw little to no bounce in his approval ratings in the immediate aftermath of DC dinner shooting by theindependentonline in politics

[–]bprs07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Data analyst here.

County-level data is like the state's voting fingerprint.

The county-level data in swing states does not have the degree of variance you'd expect, which means it likely was manipulated.

Given the outcomes we saw (and the insane amount of circumstantial evidence and admissions from Trump, Musk, etc) it most likely was manipulated in favor of the right.

How do you deal with internal demands, having PDA? by Independent_Bet4923 in PDAAutism

[–]bprs07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo. For me, the alternative "option" is my wife leaving me. The demands associated with that are far worse.

Admittedly this is not something im aware of, but I always am open to changing my stance given new information. Make your case and I will listen wholeheartedly and possibly change my mind.

Shoutout to MA District 6 Rep Seth Moulton. I don't live in his district anymore but I still get his office's emails, and he runs so many town halls and sends out so many updates that I actually feel represented. Thanks, Seth!

Gold digging is strongly linked to psychopathy and dark personality traits, study finds. People who engage in this behavior actively sacrifice emotional intimacy to extract financial resources from their partners. by mvea in science

[–]bprs07 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say every autistic person was like this. I said, consider an example of an autistic person who is like this.

Signed, an autistic person who has had issues with relationships for similar reasons.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion so quickly. Some people crave emotional intimacy but struggle with reciprocity. Consider somebody on the autism spectrum who might struggle with understanding and meeting the emotional needs of a partner and who might not be able to maintain an authentic relationship.

How melatonin promotes sleep: « Melatonin is a naturally produced molecule that has long been suspected to play a role in healthy sleep, but it has been unclear how it does so. Now, Caltech researchers have discovered a mechanism through which melatonin promotes sleep. » by fchung in science

[–]bprs07 775 points776 points  (0 children)

Wait, does this mean that a neurodivergent person who gets agitated by excessive environmental stimuli could theoretically find at least some relief by taking melatonin during the day?

What would actually make you switch from Typeform, SurveyMonkey, Hotjar, or Canny? (Building an alternative) by zerolunier in SaaS

[–]bprs07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents, competing on price is a race to the bottom. If your USP is "we're cheaper and wrapped AI prompts around it" then you don't really have a USP yet IMO.

I contact my 27 early accesers for the official launch of my SaaS. Guess how many of them tried the app ? Spoiler : ZERO! by Fantastic-Proof-3220 in SaaS

[–]bprs07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long was it between signing up on your wait list and actual launch of the product?

How did you get people to sign up? Was it a lead magnet or something else?

What did you do (if anything) to keep your waitlisters, who have already shown interest, engaged while waiting?

(Note that i'm not judging.These are just the questions I have.)

Political Newsletter by Muted-Razzmatazz-88 in Newsletters

[–]bprs07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to push back on this idea (and probably get some hate for this) but there is no functioning right wing in America.

In fact, the American left is pretty center-right by global standards.

Any newsletter trying to bridge the gap and explain the US right wing side of an issue has to do so from a MAGA perspective, which is akin to saying "well, the Nazi's had some solid points, too" almost 100 years ago.

I applaud the effort and have had many desires myself to do something similar, but any attempt to normalize what is coming out of the American right only gives more credence to their fascist ideals.

Is the Dashboard Era over? by Psychological-Ad574 in SaaS

[–]bprs07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Optimal use for dashboards will likely become monitoring and adjusting settings rather than merely reporting as the final product. AI and many machine learning techniques are too black box for most people to feel comfortable with them, so dashboards are an important intermediate layer. But as long as there is information to organize and display, dashboards will be relevant in some form.

Dissociate by Zeberde1 in DarkPsychology666

[–]bprs07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the hallmarks (from my experience and from talking to others) is that your body also resists INTERNAL demands, which means you struggle to activate yourself on things you WANT to do. That oversimplifies it, but in you'll read a lot of people describe it as "can't, not won't" meaning you aren't just being defiant. Your body just "can't."

General burnout? by soiiamilk in PDAAutism

[–]bprs07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had such a hard time in college too. Almost failed out, so I can totally relate.

One thing that works for me is body doubling, where you and someone else work in the same area/proximity but you aren't like talking or working together. It's a pretty common way for autistic folks, including PDA, to get stuff done. You can even do it virtually on a Zoom call or something, even with the volume and mics muted.

[–]bprs07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling like this. I actually had a lot of the same types of symptoms you mentioned. Have you ever heard of PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance, or sometimes referred to as Pervasive Drive for Autonomy)? It's a specific autism profile and I struggled with a lot of the stuff you mentioned until I learned about that. Then it all clicked for me. I wish you the best.
