today i learned that 'neurodivergent' is a made up word used by people who want to pathologize the experience of being a unique human being so they can blame their undesirable outcomes on biology instead of their own choices neat

one of my pet peeves is "show of hands:" "Show of hands: who here has ever..." just don't. you're gonna go and say what you're gonna say regardless of how many hands go up so just get on with it. "Oh okay, a lot of you. Well real quick, for those who aren't familiar..." 😐

this is long, but i read it back in 2013 and it's pretty much what orange-pilled me. several things clicked. https://michaelnielsen.org/ddi/how-the-bitcoin-protocol-actually-works/

i got myself one of these last year. i used it on the lingual (inside) of my teeth about 3 months after my official dental cleaning. i used it once more about a week before my next appointment. super gently near the gumline, 5 mins tops it's hilarious, the hygienist was joking about how she has nothing to do i still think eliminating sugars and refined grains does the lion's share of the work though

“I consider it a dangerous misconception of mental hygiene to assume that what man needs in the first place is equilibrium . . . a tensionless state. If architects want to strengthen a decrepit arch, they increase the load which is laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together.” —Viktor Frankl
