I also don’t have autism but do have OCD. Although my psychiatrist did say I met the threashold for a formal diagnosis for autism but I declined.

Also OCD is way way more than just germophobia, for me i am a lot more obsessive than I have compulsions. I just to watch so many lectures and read books on body language, but in the end they didn’t really helped me as much as just forcing myself to have more exposure

That sounds like me at 23. Do you by any chance have OCD? Or maybe autism? I would try asking for a diagnosis from a psychiatrist.

Just so you have hope. I am funtioning member of the society as in I can go out for groceries/doctor’s appointment etc. So don’t lose hope.

As for how, the hard truth is you will need exposure. It kinda never goes away (atleast for me) but it gets managable. I would recommend asking a friend to accompany you first few times and then try going out alone and slowly and gradually it will get better.

Another piece of advice that was kinda profound moment for me during my therapy. Try not to look for what went wrong in your past, I remember I was listing things to my psychiatrist about how my mom did this and my dad did that and she said: don’t dwel in past because you can never change it, instead think about what you can do today to make it better.

Yeah, thats what Im afraid of tbh. Can you tell me if the process is complicated? Or maybe if you know of any text/material I can look into? Thanks in advance!

Thats actually quite comprehensive list, i will also read them up. Thanks for the list!

I read one or two from your list and was still feeling they would bit too complicate for a casual reader here.

I just shared some interesting studies and trends that I once read about when I was going through similar difficulties myself. Your case definitely feels unhealthy, im so sorry you have to go through this.

When research is done, there usually is a margin of error. None of what I say is my opinion but based on studies that I mention.

Don’t know why Im getting downvoted.

For the record, I had no part in that research nor participated (its like decades old btw) so please don’t ask further questions or disagrements or personal anecdotes. I just shared some pointers for people who are interested to learn more about this. Im not there representative in any way shape or form

If they gather enough evidence, im sure instance mods could block the abuser’s accounts

You should look into passionate love vs companionate love, and the 7 year ick.

Physical intimacy going down is quite normal and healthy over time but everyone has their own timing and rate at which it goes down

Its 30c + 12€ in southern Germany

How does that even work? Panel would generate DC current and outlet would need AC. Then even when you have AC, you need to match the frequency, if outlet AC has a peak in its wave and panel has a trough, would this not cause problems? Also, does germany has pure sine wave electricity? Or is it like 3 line and 1 neutral?

Edit: nvm, i guess it has a normal on-grid inverter system built in

Invading other countries, ignoring international law, supporting palestinian genocide, toppling foreign governments… i find them kinda annoying you know?

If moves faster than camera shutter speed, he can technically appear in the same same room on camera. The only sure fire way is to see in person

Yep :)

I’m just a bit too salty about RAM prices

I think there the government is also starting a controversial draft law, basically citizens will be drafted at random, cuz people aren’t interested in dying in foreign land.

There was another case that happened, a kid made fun of a solider who came to their school for recruitment and he made fun of him. So now that kid is being prosecuted (some years of community service) so basically this sets a precedent that you can make fun of others but not military

Edit: i forgot to mention im talking about Germany

You wrote AI bubble bursts twice

Awkward question… does NZ have “australian” wildlife?

Curse the profit maxxing capitalism behind AI, if it wasn’t AI, it would have been something else

Lmao when china does it, its sweatshop labour and when western companies pay their labour pennies its the fault of the workers for being lazy.

I get the feeling if this was a us company, people like you would have been chanting this as a success of capitalism that will increase competition and decrease prices.

Its memory we are talking about, literally everyone in the world already uses it. Its not like crypto or other tech that might become obsolete any time soon.

The profit margins might shrink but there will be emough uses for it for sure. Think of personal clouds, archives, maybe cheaper gpus etc etc.

Maybe we will discover/implement algorithms that exploit memory trade offs once it becomes cheap.

Something happened recentlyish… there was a time when india and US hegemony were politically aligned then russian war happened and India having far far deeper connection with russia, decided to show their loyalty to them.

Historically, USA has been either pro-Pakistan or pro-India because of the steategic location (next to China) and india pakistan fighting all the time.

Right now, its Pakistan’s term to be on “good list”.
