So i can only tell my experience. I didn’t know i was autistic for the longest time. I’ve always been odd but i was masking most of the time and could suppress my sensory issues and had a lot of coping mechanisms to deal with them. Then my cat died and my world got destroyed. My mask was shattered and i can no longer keep it up for long whereas i had it up like 50% of the time before that. I stopped trying to mask at work. Noise has gotten real bad for me where before i was kinda dissociated enough to not have it that present.

Considering the world is getting more and more stressful in general, i imagine a lot of people that masked before are cracking. Also the obvious point of more information being available so a lot more people seek out a diagnosis. I’m also like 70 percent sure my mom is neuro spicy in some way and she developed OCD to keep order in her life out of necessity. Everything that gets untidy has to be cleaned asap, the latest at the end of the day. Her work desk however is chaos. She gets really anxious when i for example leave the living room blanket on the couch she immediately goes and folds it up.

It gets even more interesting: to interfere in the double slit experiment, the light has to take a longer path for some points and light is really good at finding the shortest path. And, since you can extend the double slit experiment to infinite slits with infinitely thin blockers between the slits, you can leave away the slits entirely and still have a valid version of that experiment and get interference. It’s just, that most interference is destructive.

Veritasium had a very interesting video about that recently and my extrapolation of this is that there is neither a collapse of wave functions nor multiple parallel universes.

My intuition says that the wave function is there after being “observed”. There is no multiple possible outcomes, just very visible ones and a lot of destructive interfered ones.

However what i just wrote is not science but me extrapolating from science so don’t take it for anything more than that. It somehow causes quantum physics to make intuitive sense for me so i like it. Nothing more than that.

Disclaimer: I’ve not played the game and don’t know if it’s accurate but it could be about going on dates with the expectation of it just being a friend date but then the other person wants more and stuff like that. Like how in BG3 you just want to dance a bit with Wyll and he randomly tries to kiss you

Also not to forget according to this a cow is more than 10 times as large as a human

Especially then. What souls gets realistic is the sizing up the enemy before clashing. Our flights usually were: pace back and forth together waiting for an opportunity/bait with an opportunity. Then execution of each person’s plan was over in a flash and either one landed a hit or you separated again, going back to pacing. But a plan of a person usually was not a single hit unless you were just probing for their reaction.

For example my favourite thing to do, was lowering the point of my sword (you usually start with tips touching uwu), baiting the opponent to attack the opposite side of were my tip was moving, the snapping the tip back up to hit the opponents incoming sword close to the handle, transferring a lot of kinetic energy into a fairly static part of their blade, thus moving their hands and influencing their whole arc such that their blade passes over me. Now i have to be very quick to attack them while repositioning into a new defensible line towards them to not get hit by their hit after recovery. This whole interaction would take about a second or less maybe.

Then there’s also the thing not really represented in souls at all which is driving your opponent through the hall. So if you attack and your opponent does only manage to block, you sometimes keep going to not give them the time to counter attack, and each swing carries you quite far which causes them to have to walk backwards very fast, to keep in blocking distance and not get into grapple range. This phrase usually has 3-4 hits a second and is quite tiring but being the one attacking usually is the winning move while the defending person has to get creative to get back into the attacking position.

I now realize that talking about sword fighting in English is quite tiring as i don’t know the terminology outside of German

I still disagree. I’ve done longsword fighting for multiple years and in the time a souls character does two hits with a bastard sword i probably do about 6 and that’s fine. Souls games are designed so that you can react to attacks and not for realism. A falchion in souls is about as fast as a longsword meant for 2 handed irl if not still a bit slower

That is a really odd comparison because in real life, even 2 handed longswords are very fast and souls like games slow them down a lot. They are not meant for realism at all. A baseball bat is also not made for fighting but for putting as much force as possible into the ball and is very top heavy whereas a sword is balanced close to the guard and very quick, meant to outmanoeuvre the opponent

I stopped masking at work and it was one of the most liberating things i did in life

I’ve been struggling with that a lot recently. As a child I’d always left family gatherings to play on my own and in school I’ve always stimmed without knowing what that was to stay afloat. I didn’t know what sensory overload is but somehow managed to avoid it for the most part of my life.

Recently our company has grown a lot and a lot more people are at the office so we’ve done a lot of mixed meetings where part was there in person and the rest through a video system with speakers and that setup fucked me up completely.

I’ve left one of those meetings before to join through my notebook because i couldn’t handle it anymore and asked our team for barrier free stuff for help. They didn’t find anything they could do but i remembered that i kept drawing/doodling in school so i tried doing that during an especially harsh one of those meetings and it kind of worked and calmed me enough to survive the meeting. There were even people talking over each other which especially fucks me up and i still survived thanks to doodling 💜

For real.

For anyone reading this: in the lead up to the German election there was some supposedly Islamic terrorist attack pretty much every week and since the election back in February, which brought the conservative party into power, there has been nothing! Iirc it is now suspected that Russia caused these terror attacks to boost the rising far right fascist party and the pretty damn right conservative party and it worked. i hope Canada doesn’t fall for it

There was hope in the last government but in addition to the greens the coalition also contained the liberal party FDP in control of finances and they manipulated the government from within by blocking everything good the rest of the government wanted to do. Their plan to make the greens unliked ended in their own party becoming irrelevant for the future. Also a lot of supposedly Islamic terrorism happened very frequently in the run-up to the election after the government broke apart and shifted the political climate further and further right.

Now after the election put the conservative party in power, the supposedly Islamic terrorism just stopped and nothing happened since 🤔

Couple that with Axel Springer press rags doing hard propaganda against left and green parties and you see why the greens had a hard time

Funnily enough jump height doesn’t scale proportionally to body size and the big t-rex would probably still just be able to jump like 5ft

For real. I have quite a bunch of colleagues that don’t know I’m not a cis Woman and i wear a fucking trans bracelet

Yes there is. I’d probably never have found out about variant Sudoku without Cracking the Cryptic. I get valuable rock climbing tips from professional climbers and coaches on YouTube and employ them often successfully in the climbing gym. I learn about weird weapons from that blacksmith guy that i can use in my TTRPGs and that’s not even taking about the science channels.

Of course if you don’t curate your subscribed channels and just browse home it’s probably gonna suck and be full of clickbait

We will but the interface used to full dive will be used to influence your thoughts and getting you to buy stuff

I had an Icarus once. Lil guy built the net right above my shower head. Flew too close to the sun eventually 😔

gg .ml you got what you advocated for. You “voted against genocide” and got more of it like everybody told you you would

My plan is to finally get to a psychiatrist to diagnose my probable ADHD and my very very likely autism. Like so likely I have no idea how I didn’t notice before. I just always thought I’m just weird and everyone else is just better at acting like a normal human being. Now I know I’m not weird but that I have this little superpower, that comes with some drawbacks like sensory sensitivities and sometimes seeming odd to neurotypical people. But it’s not just me and it warms my heart that I’m normal with other neurodivergent people and fit in so well ❤️‍🩹

Maybe look past triple A games next time you make such an assessment

And you could write a script to write the code for you
