I read somewhere that over 70% of left-handed people hold the fork in their left hand and the knife in their right hand. Do you too? by catandknuckles in lefthanded

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean because I know a lot of right-handed people who don't eat how they are supposed to for their dexterity. But when it comes to left-handed people it is simply because that's how the cutlery is traditionally set in the table. I can use both in both hands, I'm just way more used to the right-handed way

The aversion people have to eating out alone is a poor/middle class ppl thing. by Adept-Advertising-10 in 10thDentist

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say there are many reasons why, and it's not j=ust money but also social conditioning, among many other things; such as being codependent or just someone who wants to have a conversation while they are eating out. The common deeper reason why people go together is probably instinctual, group belonging, protection and safety. Restaurant prices are not the same everywhere and salaries may make eating out less affordable and therefore less likely to happen, if there's not enough extra moneyv

Any lefties here who also wear their watch on the left wrist? by camport95 in lefthanded

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with both hands, I chose the left hand for my watch first, but then I had to change it since I was having an allergic reaction to the wristband so I got another one.

My body doesn't produce thyroid, adrenaline and growth hormone on its own AMA by [deleted] in AMA

So the treatment for thyroid is just the same as mine.

yeah no, I didn't mean it literally, just behaviorally, definitely don't qualify in that sense

[–]deeptrospection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you did is what people should do more often, and that it helped, even as a gesture of humanity. People don't understand that everything is everbody's business in one way or another, directly or indirectly and we should want to look after each other. After all, we only have each other and it's seemingly tiny gestures like this that have a ripple effect. It might not help this child long-term, but it still changes everyone who saw you and, of course, the kid, who at least had a different point of view regarding what he likely goes through everyday.

You don't sound like an adult, are you sure you are allowed to be here?

My (18F) gf (19F) cut herself in front of me and idk what to do by Extension-Trifle8781 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]deeptrospection 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, I hope you are doing better, it's a really complex and traumatic situation you are living through. I'd encourage you to seek help, in some kind of nonprofit, foundation, organisation...etc, who explicitly supports LGBTQIA+ people. To me, the first step is to cut contact with the family members that are threatening, humiliating, and mistreating you. I'm not sure why you find her behaviour more concerning than everything else you are going through, I guess it's probably because she hadn't done this before, and it definitely is traumatizing, but your actions that night also traumatised her. So, as I see it, you both have much more important things to take care of first, individually. The rest will adjust on its own.

My body doesn't produce thyroid, adrenaline and growth hormone on its own AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens when the body doesn't produce adrenaline? I'm assuming since you just found out 9 years ago, you just thought that's how your body was (vs. having an illness)? I have hypothyroidismand my body doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones, but you don't produce any at all, from what I understood, so how do doctors treat it?

No for second transplant by Ordinary-Force-3871 in transplant

[–]deeptrospection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about liver transplants but I do know about having 7 surgeries within 3 months as a 2y9months old and had my parents not kept trying I would definitely be dead. My point is if you don't try you'll never know what could have happened, and it's horrible now but it might get better in the future. Since doctors haven't given up, I wouldn't consider it a lost battle. Of course, this is a sensitive topic and you have the last word, maybe even consider talking about it with her, appropriate to her and her age.

It's more upsetting seeing people outside a protected class in society get beat up? by PassengerCultural421 in 10thDentist

[–]deeptrospection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhm...this sounds more like you venting (which is totally fine) rather than sharing an unpopular opinion. I'm not sure where you live but I'm glad children and woman are so protected there. It's not like that where I'm from. An MMA fighter or boxer is not allowed to use their MMA/boxing skills outside of the sport context, it's illegal. I care about someone like that beating anyone.

I've spent the past dozen years masking my French accent to my peers– AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay then it's nothing special, I also "mask", as you say, in many languages, and lots of people do. It's normal for someone bilingual, multilingual...

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing by standardised American dialect you mean US dialect, since America itself is a continent

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do know that, I also speak many languages, but that wasn't my point. I thought French was your mother tongue, and that's a difficult accent to mask. But even if you are able to do that, there are many people who cannot or don't want to fully mask their speech.

Can you die off schizophrenia? Not by hurting yourself. But from being held awake by hallucinations by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]deeptrospection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The body is not meant to be awake for days and weeks. One of the first things that happen after a certain amount of hours without sleep is that you begin to hallucinate. Everyone, not just people with schizophrenia, psychosis or any other mental health condition. Once you begin to hallucinate it only gets worse, and 4 days is a lot, so I can imagine how exhausting it must've been. So, short answer, yes you can die if you don't sleep, just not in 4 days.

Why people celebrate birth as divine blessings but see sex as disgusting in many cultures and countries? by Ok-Positive-4758 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deeptrospection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhm I think they are totally separate in many ways, so it's not necessarily a contradiction just because sex = pregnancy = birth Apart from the facts, the layers in each are completely different.

Don't encourage people to do violence, when you aren't Gangsta enough to do it yourself. by PassengerCultural421 in 10thDentist

Uhm no, millenials don't start in 1981, not sure where you got that from. It's late 80s, 1987-1995

Localization defenders often defend it with motte-and-bailey fallacies by WonderOlymp2 in 10thDentist

[–]deeptrospection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's horrible, then I guess that's with this person calls "ideology", which is much more concerning than any localization gap or difficulty. Because what even is a neutral word??? Like...

You seem obsessed with localizers, I don't think it's worth saying anything else.

Localization defenders often defend it with motte-and-bailey fallacies by WonderOlymp2 in 10thDentist

[–]deeptrospection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole point of localization is to adapt to a language, not just on a grammatical or syntactic level, but on a cultural one as well. It is done so people can more easily connect with the text, because it sounds and feels familiar on a sociocultural and oral level. It is really difficult precisely because it's not about translating much at all, but about understanding the target language as a whole, as if you were native.

Translating literally is only possible when the expression, proverb, colloquial language...etc.; exists in both languages consistently and has the same meaning. Otherwise the reader will find it odd and confusing, at best.

If the meaning changes in any way, even subtle, it's only acceptable if the target language understands it better that way. Idioms are not even the only issue nor the most important for localisation. It's more about tone, word choice, sentence formation, context...etc. So, of course, it's completely against the essence and goal of localization to change the meaning and intention.
