Depends on how debilitating it is, if its bad enough, therapy might be a useful option.

Body dysmorphia about weight might need a bit more help than you can give as an individual.

It might not meet the criteria for that, but worth consideration.

Edit: to clarify, dysmorphia like this is where the brain refuses to acknowledge the relatively objective reality of a “normal” weight.

It’s often one of the underlying causes of bulimia/anorexia and the converse.

In fairness the msdn documentation is prone to this also.

By “this” I mean having what looks like a comprehensive section about the thing you want but the actual information you need isn’t there, but you need to read the whole thing to find out.

I agree but I’d also add that this doesn’t automatically make them bad people, just people who aren’t’ compatible with you.

I’m not defending them, It’s entirely possible they are bad people, but it’s not a given.

What i mean by this is that it’s not necessarily because of some flaw with you or them, it can just be that you don’t match up right now(or ever).

I think it’s important to understand that sometimes the only way to find out if you match is to try it and see, it sucks when it doesn’t work out but the alternative is never really finding out if it could.

I think you meant to reply to the other person.

If you’ll notice I mention the biggest offenders and/or the the underlying management infrastructure.

Private jet owners getting systematically luigi’d would also fall under that remit, I was just using data centres as an example.

Oil rigs, Nestlé, blackrock etc would also all work , with varying degrees of efficacy and difficulty.

To address your argument directly, before you get all preachy think of the actual consequences of major data centres going down, all the critical infrastructure running on said data centres would also go down.

That’s air traffic control, shipping and logistics ,and yes, agriculture; any system relying on cloud services running in those data centres

If you pick the right ones and do it properly (a competently executed strategy, if you will) then you could cripple most industries, with all the consequences that brings.

Just to be clear you are saying you didn’t provide a claim of truth with no supporting argument because, and I quote

what i said were all truth claims.

no argument at all is needed.

I know you aren’t going to understand how your reply doesn’t make sense but if in the future you come back to this , this kind of thing is what people call mental gymnastics.

It kinda feels like punching down at this point so I’ll leave you be.

Point to the advocation.

Edit: changed my mind, no need, see my other reply , good luck.

Indeed, but the definition does, I don’t care at all about this hill, but not being able to understand the application of the definition of words is going to make conversations difficult for you.

I would assume a competently executed strategy of eliminating the worst offenders (and/or the managing infrastructure thereof) would probably have more impact, they probably meant legal things though.

For instance, a solo campaign of taking out the biggest data centers would probably work. Difficult though.

Stating something is true with no supporting argument other than “I said so” followed by some shaky(at best) logic doesn’t leave much in the way of conversation points.

But lets give it a go.

Firstly there was no demand or proposal for any demographic to partake in the activity mentioned.

Secondly, assuming the first point wasn’t true, by your rationale there would be no way to mention any activity without it being a suggestion that all current recipients must immediately perform said activity, which it patently ridiculous.

Thirdly, the suggestion that you are a best in class mental gymnast isn’t a thought terminating cliche, perhaps you could claim ad hominem but as I said before ,“I’m right, because reasons” doesn’t leave many conversational avenues open.

The rookie was the most blatant example for me and i was incredibly disappointed , because i like Nathan Fillion.

I heard it got less bootlicky later on but i never made it that far.

No need for apologies, you don’t mean it and i don’t really care about your opinion enough to warrant it.

judging by the replies so far I wouldn’t expect any level of good faith discourse

^

Responding with a deflection is on brand though, so kudos for consistency.

I think you have me mistaken for someone else.

You don’t need to prove anything, and judging by the replies so far I wouldn’t expect any level of good faith discourse so no need to worry about my expectations.

Does the fact that the democrats are shitty politicians somehow negate the fact that trump is an incompetent manchild with apparently no checks and balances ?

Or are they, in fact, two entirely unrelated things that can both be true ?

An unrelated strawman is a poor distraction from you not actually addressing what is being said.

Though i suppose if you don’t actually have anything to say on the subject a strawman is better than nothing, for a given value of “better”.

They can, and do, but that’s not exactly what i was getting at.

I was saying that a (hypothetical) person, completely free of autistic traits can acquire traits very similar to how autism is expressed purely through CPTSD experience.

I fully agree that you can get ASD + CPTSD for the extra special double dose of the fun times, but it’s possible to have one without the other.

From what I’ve been told over the years by various different head people, the overlap between the outward symptoms of cptsd and autism is somewhat large.

The underlying causes are usually very different, but the expression has enough overlap that they always check for cptsd markers and questions.

In my anecdotal experience, of course.

It’s also entirely possible to have both, which makes it even more complex.

You could have not asked a question on a public forum, in a section full of people inclined to specificity , but here we are.

Even when learning to play a instrument you get feedback. When you twang the strings with your inexpert fingers and make a sound. That’s a huge source of guidance.

Ah, so you meant feedback.

Agreed.

I don’t think we’re actually disagreeing, i think i just misunderstood what you meant.

I do know from personal experience, anecdotal as it may be, that there are situations where certain feedback isn’t registered properly, or at all.

This example is fully contrived, but I’m going somewhere after so bear with me.

Take the example of the gym and that the feedback is the muscle soreness experienced after, what happens if that person doesn’t feel pain ( again, i know it’s contrived ). The effect would still be there but the feedback wouldn’t be registered.

I know pain isn’t the only feedback here I’m using this specific example as reference.

So meditation is a good example here, especially for the neurodivergent.

Let’s take the semi-common comorbidity of Alexithymia.

Not being able to recognise or properly associate the emotional feedback of whatever method of meditation you are practicing does somewhat limit the understanding of the process/benefits.

But, and this is key, it doesn’t actually inhibit all of the effects of the meditation.

There is ofc a cognitive aspect to using the feedback to guide what you are doing, but it’s not a hard requirement.

Think of it like emotional exercise where at some point your mind just buckles under strain it didn’t know was there and up until that point nothing was feeling any different.

It can be deeply unpleasant and even harmful, but it can also be a benefit if handled in a useful way.

I’m not saying it’s common, but i’d imagine its more likely than you think.

Hmm , i was working with the assumption you meant tangible results/benefits, seems i was incorrect and i retract my statement partially.

I will however die on the hill that not everything has immediate (or immediately noticeable to be more accurate) effects.

Learning to play an instrument doesn’t always result in an immediate increase in ability, same with martial arts (the skill portion, not the physical/exercise portion).

If you limit yourself to only the things that have immediately noticeable effects then you are excluding potential paths for growth.

That’s like saying that if you don’t walk out of the gym bursting out of your shirt you should stop lifting weights.

Not everything is immediate.
