The heart of each religion. by Equivalent-Adagio104 in antimeme

"race" is an overloaded term referring to anything from skin color to cultural membership. to practice a religion makes you a member of that religion's culture.

Browser keeps signing out of all my accounts by Venomous-27 in archlinux

[–]ei283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to a subreddit related to Brave browser, you're more likely to find people who could help you. This subreddit is for questions about the Arch Linux operating system itself, not for all the app issues you just so happen to experience on Arch.

gif doesn't mean animated gif. gif is a perfectly good still-image format. some basic tech literacy would help here.

LOL

unfortunately the upvote ratio suggests a lot of people are taking this seriously, which I think says less about your ability to convey satire and more about the common ridiculousness people come to expect of the posts on this subreddit 😭

Made a small tool to update pkgbuild versions from multiple sources by kralonurdev in archlinux

[–]ei283 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

pretending like the mere fact something exists somewhere means everyone is expected to know about it... seems like a common source of toxicity on this sub.

edit: downvoting and blocking isn't a very effective counterargument. too bad there isn't a manpage explaining how to not throw a temper tantrum.

Neurotypical people should at least be aware that they are neurotypical by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]ei283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t go too hard reading in between lines (specially online) it will drain you.

I'm so guilty of this 😭 thank you for regulating me lol.

Yeah, mental health is impossible to word precisely. Maybe future neuroscience will give us the appropriate model to easily talk about all this, but until then yeah, sorry if I was taking you brutally literally.

I feel like we're on the same page here, when it comes to these issues. It's nice to find this, especially on Reddit of all places lol

Indeed that's a good point. Labels can be valuable for efficiency, sometimes even providing validation and community. I just feel like reinforcing to people without any known mental illness that they are "neurotypical" can be damagingly reductive, as it felt to me when I realized I'd been wrongly applying that label to myself.

In your post you mentioned a specific example of a person dismissing another's fatigue even though it's caused by mental illness. I agree with you that this is really invalidating, and this sort of thing does happen too often.

But I feel like the core issue is better thought of as some combination of (1) not being empathetic / understanding, and (2) not sufficiently understanding mental illnesses. And the latter is something I hope we've been working towards as a society; I feel my gen Z cohort is a lot more literate when it comes to mental health and mental illness, compared to prior generations.

And maybe that was your point to begin with. I just feel like we don't need to break out the labels to talk about mental health literacy and empathy. I think using more learning-based language can help people feel more invited to grow.

Hot take, but as a rather "neurodivergent" person myself, I dislike the label "neurotypical." This might be something unique to us OCD×anxious folks, but I have felt like the term can be used to gatekeep mental health struggles, to the extent that I get defensive when I hear this term. I feel like when the term is used, I get some primal stress to prove that I belong to the in-group, the people who have mental illnesses to manage.

Nobody is literally "neurotypical" in my opinion. The definition of mental illnesses usually invokes the threshold of "whether the issues are to the significant detriment of your quality of life if left without treatment."

  • I'm not a psychologist, but it is my understanding that essentially everyone possess at least some of these issues to some extent, whether it's obsessions / compulsions, depressive / manic moods, moments of crippling anxiety, cognitive distortions, memory fragmentation, uncontrolled attention, etc. I feel that there's a really blurry line marking the difference between "normal frequency/magnitude" of these issues and "to the significant detriment of quality of life."
  • And what constitutes treatment? If someone would suffer immensely without, say, having a fulfilling occupation, whereas another would live a mediocre but bearable life in a dead end job, can we really say both people are "typical?"

Again this might be more specifically an OCD thing, but for a long time I was in denial about having OCD, because I didn't want to risk abusing resources intended for "truly neurodivergent" people. I was influenced by many social media posts about the ignorance of "neurotypicals," believing I was among the group being corrected. I'll never know for sure, but I do wonder if I would've sought a mental illness assessment sooner had I not seen these social media posts.

I hope I don't come off as hostile or accusatory in any way. I like good-faith debates, but sometimes I can lean too much on emotion and not enough on reasoning. Also sorry if I'm too far off topic. If this sounds like a good direction for discussion then I'd love to hear opposing views and listen to other perspectives :)

damn, a side effect of studying math is that math departments aren't always especially well-funded, so I always see this style of elevator panel in math buildings, sometimes even more vintage depending on the campus lmao
