The better option is a fancy japanese toilet that opens and closes itself as you enter and leave the room.

Some will also eat your weed so there’s that.

Cats do rarely make it to about 30 but I agree with your assessment.

My impression is that they had a problem of an economy that could not support the population at that time. Overpopulation vs underpopulation.

was this on MTV?

Huh. I remember the name but don’t think I ever saw it. Interesting idea though.

There is probably truth to what you say but I will point out that people used to get pocket guides to carry around that explained how things worked in the target country and provided basic phrases for ordering in restaurants, saying thank you, and such.

The problem is that you don’t want to record important information like passwords so if they did log them, it’s another possible vector of loss. I e if someone got into that copy of the data

This was also my takeaway. Sounds like a security nightmare if they are logging any data.

You are amazing. I have not paid super deep attention to these but seem them nearly every time you post and think that what you are doing is really cool.

What reset? This sounds made up.

No. You feel bad which means you are capable of empathy.

I’m happy to hear that you looked up some of this for yourself. I figured that it was the definitions that were catching you more than the concepts.

The DSM has some very odd references in it. For instance, “retarded” is a technical definition that exists and is a possible diagnosis even though society has long moved passed that concept. Mental health is weird.

Neurodivergent includes all those categories except the disorders or illnesses. Here’s why:

Things like psychopathy are caused by structural differences in the brain that make sufferers incapable of experiencing the same set of emotions as most people. Many negative behaviors are caused by lack of inhibition or empathy for others.

People with autism and adhd process information differently and respond to the world differently as a result. In severe cases this can lead to an inability to engage but will generally result more in inappropriate engagement.

Behavioral health conditions are a mix of psychological and neurological issues that require a wide variety of interventions.

These are very different things.

I think that what you are noting is that narcissism can be caused by differences in brain structure, like in psychopathy, or by differences in upbringing, like in sociopathy. In the first case, you’re born that way. In the second case, trauma and such made you that way.

They are different things.

Neurodivergent people process information differently but have all the correct parts to process. They may interact with the world in slightly different ways but do not have a personality DEFECT.

People who are narcissists are missing a primary component: empathy for other humans. Their minds are fundamentally different than neurotypical and neurodivergent people.

Those are personality disorders, not forms of neurodivergence.

What doesn’t add up to me is why he used a gift card instead of using credit. I suspect that there is more going on here.

I fully agree. Completely inappropriate but not surprising for someone who surely had little emotional development because of the family business.
