the “happiness surveys” that show that Finland is the happiest country in the world.
FWIW, the reaction here in Finland to those surveys is always ”Lolwtf? Are you fucking kidding me?”

If they were ”as the writer intended”, they would be unedited. Clearly there is significant benefit for books to not be literally as the author wrote and abridged editions are just another point on that continuum.

If that was actually the case, editors wouldn’t exist. Frequently the author is blind to their own follies and very often one of those follies is not knowing to cut things that are irrelevant and pointless digressions (see Scott’s writings for an extreme example).

That site is close to unusable due to the spoilers being hidden unless you make an account. All for no good reason.

I don't know, man. I'm not really convinced. They really should add blockchain there somewhere to ensure the security.

Having just spent the Easter weekend with my brother’s small kids, there was a lot of kid stuff but remarkably little of it was anything I’d call ”dumb”. Occasional silly (and TBH fun) stuff as you’d expect but mostly helping them get toys / puzzles, dressing for outdoors, pushing them in the swing and making sure they didn’t run into the water without rubber boots on.
5/5, will do again.

That would be a cruel and unusual punishment for the bears.

He narrowly beat two of the least charismatic presidential candidates that I can remember ever seeing, Hillary and Kamala.
As I liked to say, the 2016 election was never about Trump winning but Hillary losing. The dems picked so bad candidate that even Trump managed to win over her.

what it's like to date a BPD woman
”Don’t stick your dick in a crazy” was invented for exactly this.

Nah, you’ll be fine. You’d have more reason for concern if you were 67% German instead.
36% German, 13% Autistic.
I’m very slightly surprised I scored this high on the German scale. I will also interpret the autism score as indisputable proof that ADHD should not be placed anywhere near the autism spectrum.
Funnily enough, a good friend of mine once described me as the most engineery person he knows (and being an engineer himself, he knows plenty).

This also works when you need to write HRese evaluations but your internal engineer would rather slit his wrists with a wooden spoon than manually write such bullshit.

Neither Starmer nor Merkel started a trade war with the US nor threatened to invade the country just for the lulz.

Your comment makes me update towards the real syndrome being TDSS, where people accuse others of having TDS
I've noticed the same thing in recent months. People here have started to shout "TDS!" at almost any criticism of Trump whatsoever.

I have never succeeded at meditating, or at least getting anything out of it. You can blame my ADHD for that.
I've wondered if I'm the only one whose only reaction to any kind of guided meditation (live or recorded) is profound annoyance?
Like sure, I can understand taking a walk in the forest and potentially reaching some sort of meditative state there (or could if it weren't for the goddamn mosquitoes and horse flies) but having to listen to some idiot drone about my mind? Fuck no, and fuck anyone who tries to impose such on me (direct or indirectly via the "guidance").

There's nothing (apart from money) that stops you from just buying thousands of Blu-Rays right now. Or if you're partial to parrots and eye patches, you can get that 8x4 TB NAS setup and store 2000 full length feature films there. The solutions are already available on consumer side for those rare people who want to do it.
This is the first I’ve ever heard of such campaign.
