WP as it is is of course not useless. But don't confuse it with a real library. Then, imagine in the apocalyptical worst case, having archived only that summary of humankind's knowledge. There's a vast amount of detail that WP is just not the right place for.
Out of browsing autism issues, and out of online for the day, actually. I like this community but when 80% of memes fit to me, i start to feel more handicapped and it's draining. I wish i could meet certain people in person. Online "community" is just not real enough and can make feel lonely.
Edit: some context ... This particular meme story here talks about hiding one's idiosyncrasies, as part of what we call masking. I started discovering my own neurodiversity the classic way (which is also the hard way) -- by having an autistic burn-out. Not only is this kind of masking very demanding (i was unconsciously always on alert for "danger" of meeting strangers), but it's also stealing the joy from living. I could choose between dreaming along freely but lonely, or being among people but constantly watching my behaviour ... so long until all energy was drained and i couldn't do it anymore. Fortunately for me, a certain miss Greta Thunberg was in the news in those days, and she gave it all a name ...
This meme makes me sad and quite anxious. It reminds me that i'm still doing that stupid thing far too much ... "am i acting weird? what will the others think?" ... damn!
The problem with such approaches will be human curiosity. Imagine today's scientists find such a site from the late paleolithic which has messages like "This site is cursed; we buried here what causes death and pestilence to us; go no further or it will do the same to you!" -- You bet they will want to see what is inside the "buried temple of death".
Shit so relatable again ...
Need to get out of here.
Right about spelling. For a non-native, it becomes somewhat difficult when it is about the "right" pronunciation of the written language. There's a lot of French influence for example. Now they have a lot of French words, some feel horribly mispronounced and some aren't. And then there's a lot of dialects so that mixing pronunciations can hardly be avoided.
Confused here. Lasagna looks like several horizontal lines with some filling in between and cheese on top. Like none of the letters that i know. Then again, it's italian, so what to do ... espanicise it?
lasaña -- there you go, that will take care of the cheese, at least.
Ironicly, "conshus" one such candidate for me.
I know, and i hope it isn't seen as rude when i make such corrections "at everyone's service".
English really lacks some throat-fricative analogue to the Greek chi (χʼ). Shoud be yaχt in the graχt. imo.
From what i got to know, many people are now using some well-known but mostly criminalised (but now again put to clinical research) substances, in miniscule doses, successfully for anxiety relief. Of course, i can not directly recommend trying them as reactions, at least in large psychedelic doses, are widely unpredictable and i do not know about their use in general anxiety (although i'd love to know). Procurement will likely be illegal too, so one has to find a trusted source and should make use of test kits for purity testing. All i can say is that they are generally seen as non-addictive. We are adviced to do our own research, not least on their usefulness together with other medications (ie. neuroleptice, benzodiazepines, barbiturates).
