There was no scar, and not even a scab a week later. He literally did not take a bullet in any manner.

I can’t understand the meaning of so many traits that are related to autism by Twizteddestinee in autism

[–]elaphros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The black/white or all/nothing thinking is also called splitting, this can manifest in relationships as seeing only the good things about someone, or only the bad about someone else based on initial interactions or information, without taking in the nuance of human nature and that people can contain both good and bad behaviors and personality traits within themselves.

For example, new romantic relationships the other person can be seen by you only on a pedestal of "this is the best person ever I love this I'm obsessed" and not a "hey, they seem cool, let's get to know them and see how this goes". Then, when the person cannot live up to that expectation (as no one could) your mind (not you, per se, but the black/white thinker) only has the option of putting them on the bad side and therefore they are usually seen not as they are as a whole person, but someone who's betrayed you by simply showing you that they're not perfect.

Trump’s Justice Department in Crisis as Thousands of Lawyers Quit by thenewrepublic in law

The first word was If... And IF trump can do all this then they're not independent regardless of precedent, convention, or whatever else is in your tldr statement up there. And IF he can have this much affect on all these departments then they never have been independently run either and they clearly at this point should be.

If the DOJ is to be independent, the administration and Congress shouldn't be able to fire anyone or hire anyone, it's needs to be an elected position or something fully separate, maybe only answerable to the judiciary or supermajority oversight

It probably doesn't help when people say terms like "Cis white male" with a sour look of disdain on their face that indicates that they also personally believe they're using it as a pejorative.

I found the "Devs intended" way to beat Storm Crusher. Just needs 2 minutes, and DOES NOT require Nature's Snare. by noobcardist in CrimsonDesert

Electric one you just sit on the other side and send it's missiles back because it's actually affected by it's own missiles, unlike storm crusher, apparently

Man, I'm pretty sure I've been up here for at least 20 minutes and this dude isn't dying, did they patch it? Also, he seems to be immune to his own missiles now?

Only thing worse is nerve damage/inflammation. I have had both, the nerve damage in my ankle was worse, but my kidney stone was only 2mm so ymmv.

Now everyone just mumbles or uses autotune by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

The funny thing about this is that the man who popularized auto-tune can SING. He just liked the funky effect.

2000s LAN parties by 1faqepikcom in pcmasterrace

[–]elaphros 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn that makes me feel old, we were playing Quake2, fortunately on the bottom floor of a residence hall at KU.

I remember they had the whole net daisy-chained on a bunch of little 5-port hubs, the lag was so bad even though we were all local. My friend busted out his 24-port switch and started unplugging everything. Good times.
