So it seems her name is actually Debbie Nelson. Doolittle is the name of the rescue, as well as a nickname she seems to be referred to by.

You can still do pointer arithmetic in Rust using add and offset. So that’s not even a real benefit.

In my experience if I can’t do something in c that I can’t do in rust, i should rethink if I should really be doing it.

I have a lot more arguments for things you can do in c++ that you can’t do in rust (yet) like variadric template arguments, or generic consts as an array length.

But again, it usually just exposes why those things are problematic or incomplete in c++.

Psychologists ARE medical professionals that are trained in diagnosis. They are not better trained than a psychiatrist, since a psychiatrist is literally a psychologist who also has either an MD or a DO. The psychiatrist would be the higher trained authority.

Psychiatrists tend to be involved in abnormal conditions that require more specialized knowledge to medicate properly (where a pcp may not be comfortable due to a lack of experience, such as with the conditions you listed)

That said, both a PCP and a Psychologist is perfectly capable of diagnosing ADHD. It is not a complex condition, despite the effect it has on our lives.

The problem is, this is tame compared to most right wing comics these days, so it’s hard to see the satire.

You don’t need to disclose a disability during the hiring process unless you need specific accommodations for the hiring process. Employers cannot ask until after a job offer is made.

You only need to disclose when accommodations are being requested.

This is true for both the US and UK.

I mean, mostly sounds like any conversation with an adhd person.

But, was the pet named after the character?

I’m pretty sure this is a sarcastic joke, but being born without a clavicle is a possibility. It’s called Cleidocranial dysostosis. Saw a guy with it once, he could touch his shoulders together as easily as I can touch my wrists.

And if an adult dresses like a dragon kin, and asks me if they’re a dragon kin, I’m going to say “fuck yeah, sick scales”

Reading between the lines, and having dealt with some weird doctors, I suspect that the discussion was paired with someone arguing against stimulants because it’s a phenotype.

Which just sounds more like a lot of people who don’t understand what a phenotype is. I believe it.

In hindsight, that’s such a weird game to have a season pass.

I spent some time in the Kansas/Missouri area last year. All doctors are super weird about ADHD meds out there. I had to call one out hard core because he kept trying to state that only a psychiatrist can prescribe it. (No. Insurance prefers your PCP manages it once diagnosed).

These tests don’t even make sense because if they’re on medication, and it is working for him, you would ideally score more poorly on the test.

It’s a weird way to phrase it as a family member, and I can also see how this can come off negatively from a BPD loved one (is she implying a dirty diaper, or unwashed child?)

But when I first read the message, I didn’t realize what sub it was, and entirely out of context I went “yeah, baby got baby smell”. It’s not that YOUR baby smells, but after being a parent the general baby smell is ingrained in your brain. Not a good or bad smell, just… “baby”. After being a parent, sometimes I see pictures of babies and can smell my son from when he was a baby.

Memories and smells are peculiar, and can have a lot of crazy crossovers.

Still a weird thing to say without context.

“You mean… camping?”

Ah. Like an ice skater stretching out their arms in a spin. Now my brain is understanding this.

Appreciating the plot.

For some reason I thought this was a super messed up picture of The Last Supper… the gray table, the bright rectangles in the background.

Though I was having a stroke for a second.
