I understand what pon farr is, but where is the photo from? Which is the original? When was it taken and why? Is the original negative/print held by a particular organisation?

Functional Neurological Disorder aka Dissociative neurological symptom disorder aka Conversion Disorder?

The latter has the following diagnostic criteria in DSM V:

  1. One or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function.
  2. Clinical findings can provide evidence of incompatibility between the symptom and recognized neurological or medical conditions.
  3. Another medical or mental disorder does not better explain the symptom or deficit.
  4. The symptom or deficit results in clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other vital areas of functioning or warrants medical evaluation.

We don’t seem to have a Lemmy community for any of these yet? True? Maybe we need to get together on ‘Diagnoses of exclusion’?

AIs version of beautiful people will be based on plastic surgery versions of people who were once based on those born with good looks by bpalmerau in c/[email protected]

If plastic surgery is based on people with good looks, it seems to be very loosely based on them!

Why are YouTube comments so much different than any other comments made online by bpalmerau in c/[email protected]

Absolutely. Do you remember the herp derp extension that would turn them all into ‘herp derp herp derp’ so that you wouldn’t have to read them?

The SEO scam: 62,000 dollars later by bpalmerau in c/[email protected]

Takeaway: “What's the use of ranking high with content that doesn't engage visitors? If they feel like a bot wrote the content, it defeats the purpose. If this is what it takes to rank on a search engine, then there's something wrong with the search engine itself.”

True dat.

What's the best advice you've learned though your time on Earth (as opposed to the moon)? by bpalmerau in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Moderation in all things.

To avoid negative thinking, challenge the thought that a problem is personal, pervasive or permanent (Martin Seligman)

Parenting: Set a good example. Don’t punish. Teach. Tell them what TO do, not what not to do.

Having ideas about the way things ought to be is great, but you can only respond to what is.

Be excellent to each other. Do as you would be done by.
