Same experience, except without giving a dosing recommendation. TBF, it was getting tested as part of regularly checks, but the recommendation came before testing.

Hope you aren’t using a phone to send this. Who knows what could happen during that time. Maybe someone puts the big red launch nukes button under your foot and you start nuclear winter when you go to stand up.

Oh, true. Doubly hopefully stopped if they’re that close to the vehicle in front of them.

Looks like some sort of red light is off to the side, so probably stopped?

You can rule them suicides/accidents sometimes.

Curious how compatibility with a high-sex-drive ace and a low-sex-drive allo would compare typically.

And you explain it by shocking them?

Plus side of being federated is it’s easy to just switch to one of your alts on another instance and still be able to use it.

Trump rapes people of all ages and MAGA react by accusing trans people of being abusers.

even a child can understand acceleration and its relationship to changes in velocity

I remember trying to figure out if a specific infinite sequence converges or diverges because I was playing Sonic. I didn’t have any algebra nor calculators that could handle precise calculations nor the terminology I refer to it as now, so I was just trying to guess by doing calculations by hand to see if it looked like it was plateauing to something or if it looks like it was gonna keep growing.

Not sure if its actually useful, but it was something I cared about regardless. Children should play with math more.

Like 90% of concepts from those classes wouldn’t really help people in the world around them, not just “they won’t use integrals daily” but rather they won’t be taught in a way where they’ll connect differentials to what they see in the world or news.

That’s one of the things I find most disappointing about the education system. Like, people technically pass classes that are supposed to ensure they’ve “mastered” certain concepts, but few seem to even notice how they could be applied outside a narrow scope of specifically worded problems. Its so strange hearing people say things like “unless I’m like a math teacher, this is all useless for me outside of class” when calculus specifically was something that I could immediately connect to problems I had outside school immediately.

Even when taking classes that seem to be designed around trying to build real-world problem-solving skills, the classes generally seem to devolve into teachers teaching an algorithm for solving a hyper-specific question, assigning homework doing those hyper-specific question types over and over, and then testing on those hyper-specific questions with different numbers. Those students seem to be virtually no better at identifying how to apply math to real-world problems after such courses…

I feel like calculus should probably start to be introduced in like maybe late-elementary-age? Certainly before high-school-age. I don’t think everyone needs a dedicated 1-year course on it, but some of the concepts are certainly useful and understandable at that age. Regardless of whether its from compulsory education or some alternative education process.

How do you even walk if you don’t know calculus?

Taxes, cheap digital keyboard, sff pc for livingroom media center, then rest to mortgage. Laser hair removal would be on the list, but figuring out where to go an such and confirming an appointment wouldn’t happen in a day, but not needing to pay mortgage for a while would make affording such easy.

The point is, therapy and behavioral changes are good. But they have limits. Don’t rule out medication, just trust the doctor to know their shit. Also advocate for yourself if the doctor is too cautious. Mine was worried about stimulants and my blood pressure at my age and (lack of) cardiovascular health. It hasn’t been a problem at all

I haven’t talked to a doctor. Scheduling an appointment is the first obstacle, but I intend to try to get medicine soon™. My blood pressure and HR are generally low, so I’m not too worried about stimulants.

eta: •dude is officially a gender neutral term btw

Putting this disclaimer generally comes across as much more combative and much more like intentional misgendering than simply using words like “dude” and “guy” in gender neutral ways.

Sending invoices sucks 😞

Ita been known I saw ADHD since I was a like a toddler, but never have tried any medicines for it because my mom was strongly against such (and the doctor was wrong with their prediction that I would struggle in school). But invoices are a thing over the past couple years that have been making me want to try…

I’d say some of my happiest moments aren’t thinks worth remembering the details of typically. Like, one time after we had moved recently, I accidentally was about to turn at the turn before our apartment. Blinker on and everything and my roomate told me it was the wrong turn and I responded “its too late” and turned anyways - not to troll or anything, just how my brain decided to deal with the last minute information. Anyways, after turning around and making it back home, I was just literally rolling on the floor laughing in pain from the incident for reasons beyond my understanding. Only remember that one because we continued to making “its too late” jokes since then - otherwise it would soon have been forgotten. So I’d say my happiest moments just tend to be otherwise insignificant interactions with those that I love and that’s never really changed.

icebox is sorta similar.

Once he’s on Pine street, I wonder what the nearest cross-street will be, so that the operator will know where they’re at on pine street.
