Does that mean that if we took something rusty and put it in an environment without oxygen it would start to release oxygen from the rust?
I wanted to get into FPGAs when I was making some custom boards with MCUs but I really had a hard time finding a good idea for a starter project with them. How did you get started? Any recommendations?
What the fuck
in 2020 in which female passengers were subjected to invasive gynecological examinations.
authorities were looking for the mother of a newborn baby found abandoned in a Hamad International Airport trash can
they were taken off the flight to Sydney at Doha at gunpoint by guards and were searched without consent.
Did I wake up 2,000 years ago or something? Am I still on earth?
Qatar was “surprised and shocked” that Australia had rejected without explanation its application for additional services to Sydney
Woooow. I literally don't know what to say.
Yeah, I think that's part of what keeps my vocabulary from catching up. I haven't rehearsed alternatives nearly as well over my life so they don't come to mind easily. But there are many worse reasons to challenge yourself than trying not to accidentally offend someone else without intending to. Especially because I can see the damage things like that have done to me because of ADHD.
I agree, and it drives me crazy when people say that about OCD. But I think there's a gap between the extremes, and if I have the potential to be wrong, I'd rather be wrong by being validating.

(not arguing, just pondering) Actually now that I think about it, I don't think it's the opposite end of the spectrum at all, I think it's actually the same thing. If you think about it both are coming from not understanding that the disorder is (in my awkward words) the exaggeration of normal human behavior, specifically the exaggeration. Being able to relate to it isn't enough perspective alone.
Actually sometimes I do, because I have diabetes 😂
That's... sad for him that his perspective is so small. Many people seem incapable of understanding things like this no matter what you say. Hopefully he doesn't damage someone with his perspective.
I am not that experienced with EDs but I personally think the most important thing with most maintenance is not that you don't regress, but that you get back on that damn horse when you fall off. You doing that shows self-awareness and willingness to fail and keep trying to work on yourself, which is true strength. So many people easily fall into a spiral of self-hatred and give up, but no, you're doing the work, and it's hard. I have good reason to believe in you too.
You can also call them for advice on how to help someone else who is struggling.
I would ask your therapist about considering a PHP (don't know if this is US-specific). I won't define it myself because I'm sure your therapist can do better. It's a big decision but it is worth the time. To be honest, they really should teach the same stuff in school.
It might be a little overwhelming to present this as new information to someone, especially if they're suicidally depressed. I think triaging based on the passive/active scale is a decent way to assess danger while remaining simple. I don't have a strong sense of privacy for myself but I would imagine many people aren't super comfortable talking deeply about it to many people they just met. I would imagine as a HCP you could think of it like a pelvic exam. The fewer people who do their own on the patient, the better, because it's not fun for the recipient. I say that as a former paramedic and a... well-traveled... mental health patient.
Yes. I'm not a mental healthcare provider and oddly there seems to be a little bit of variance depending on who you're talking to, but I think the best way to separate the two is this (SI = suicidal ideation):
- Passive SI: wanting something to end your life; examples:
- "I wish I was dead"
- "I want to go to sleep forever"
- "I wish I could just disappear"
- "It would be nice if I got into a car accident or something and it killed me"
- Active SI: thoughts of dying from your own actions, including:
- planning the act
- making accommodations for others when you're gone
- "daring" or testing yourself to see if you'll actually do it
- speculating on a time and place
- giving away personal belongings
- fearing that you might do it
If you're having SI of any type the best thing you can do is see a therapist, but obviously if it is dire or an emergency then a hospital is the answer. There are other treatment options at levels in between seeing a therapist weekly and going to a hospital that many people don't know about (and a a surprising number of doctors don't tell you about) that insurance should cover.
I have a lot of personal experience with this stuff and I'm happy to answer anything anyone is curious about.
Could you pin a comment on the post for that first article that gives links to alternative articles? I don't know if that's possible on lemmy. But megathreads are annoying to me because they usually just have a list of articles that is overwhelming and it's much easier to just read none of them. Plus it doesn't interact well with continuing conversation once it falls off the front page.
If there were a way to remove posts from the feed (either everything/local/subscribed or the community+everywhere) without destroying the post itself it would be nice too because you wouldn't be deleting conversations. Then you could pin the other conversations on the first one.
