This is nothing short of a miracle.
  • That's survivorship bias.

    There was a time when humans built wineries everywhere and hoped to attract vineyards.

    Nowadays, you only see those that attracted one, as all other wineries gave up centuries ago

  • Zudem:

    Bekiffte sind sich ihrer Defizite oft bewusst und fahren vorsichtiger. Das hebt die Defizite natürlich nicht auf und ist immernoch gefährlicher; aber alle bekifften Fahrer die ich in meiner Jugend begleitet habe warteten auf Grün, fuhren maximal die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung und achtetrn auch an Kreuzungen sehr genau auf Seitenverkehr und Fußgänger. (Jedoch nur sehr selten auf Rückspiegel oder Jaywalker; übersehen manchmal Schilder und haben im Allgemeinen einen Tunnelblick nach vorne. Und die beeinträchtigte Reaktionszeit ist vorallem unvorbereitet echt nicht zu unterschätzen!)

    Viele betrunkene hingegen warn meist "I kan noh farn", brettern über Rot und geben nen Fick auf viele Regeln bzw. denken garnicht dran.

    Im allgemeinen habe ich mich bei Bekifften deutlich weniger unsicher gefühlt als bei Betrunkenen.

    Am Ende bleibt jedoch: Fahrt nüchtern! Die Regeln sind meiner Meinung nach nicht "Ich darf soviel konsumieren und dann noch ins Auto steigen" sondern "Ich hab noch Reste im Blut vom Vorabend" bzw. "Ich saß halt mit meinen Kifferhomies im Raum und hab passiv bissl was abbekommen:

  • What's the most basic thing you can't do?
  • Well, my brain seems to be affected by it according to that test (difference score of 11) if I interpret the scale correctly

    But well, I also got autism and quite a few other mental conditions and learned all my life to cope quite well with all my disabilities; that's why I specifically outsource direction question to a visualization that make the answer more tangible for me than listening to my intuition.

    But well, what works for some doesn't necessarily work for all. And probably my other conditions have some influence on it as well. We're all different, after all; even if sharing a few traits.

  • What's the most basic thing you can't do?
  • That's why I explicitly stated local.*

    I don't care which country I'm in and how they are driving there. I obviously visualize cars I grew up with.

    E: well, I see how local can be interpreted as exactly the opposite of what I mean... oops

  • What's the most basic thing you can't do?
  • I get that. My intuition often mixes both up, too.

    That's why I trained myself to say "driver-side" and "passenger-side" in my head when left or right come up. To a point where I don't even have to think about thinking about it. I just visualize which side of car is meant instead of the rather abstract concept of left and right

    Might not help you; but it helps me

  • Well, that doesn't mean it's not done.

    My sister had a few (more than 20 simultaneously) rats.

    One rat got stuck with her tail in the cage, and the tail had to be amputated, or the rat would've died. There were a few complications during the operation, and the bill would have skyrocketed to more than 2k€. For a tiny rat.

    Needless to say, my sister insisted the operation continue. Rat lived happily for another 18 months

  • To prove your point, please dox yourself.

    I'd be interested in your full name, address, your phone numbers, your email adresses, birth date and credit information (which is probably in the order details)

  • Truth rule
  • Not OP, but yeah...

    There are a few mental/neurological conditions that lead to a big adversion against ordinary recurring tasks.

    (In my case it's PDA; but it's something that I see across multiple neurodivergent spectrums, as well as in people with depression)

  • TERF Jenny Watson is Called a Trans Woman by her own Dating App Meant to Ban Trans Women
  • Half of my images are around 50% confidence that I look like I'm a man

    All other images lead to 98% confidence in me beeing a women.

    All of my test-pics were made pre-HRT, and while my style makes it obvious that I don't identify as masculine (or am GNC+Gay) my face (unfortunately) screams was a pre-HRT AMAB.

    That AI is totally shit

  • U.K. forces Google to remove websites selling gender-affirming medications
  • I don't disagree with the point that it shouldn't need to be this way.

    But it is what it is; and it's live saving medication that has to come from somewhere.

    People are fighting to tackle the problem officially; but they also have to somehow live in the meantime.

    Almost all trans people would prefer a prescription and medical supervision above having to pay themself and guesstimate the doses without proper bloodwork. But some just don't have any alternatives.

    And to be clear: I will always recommend people to try the official way first. local transpersons that asked me for advice all got a "I can help you get therapy; I can help you to skip therapy and go the indication route; I can reluctantly help you skip indication and go the informed-consent-route without psychotherapists but still medical supervision, even tho I really discourage that unless your transidentity is obvious since many years; but I will not help you to get DIY (without medical supervision) unless you tried the official approaches, sorry".

    But for some people, there is no other option than DIY. Getting a place for therapy can be really hard, and some countries have no alternative routes to get a prescription with medical supervision without going through years of therapy first.

    (Btw, I don't know how the laws are in the UK. I'm from germany. But the problem is the same everywhere. I got lucky to be able to get a prescription, tho; but I know a few people that weren't)

  • Any tipps for soon-to-be DM with very little experience

    Hi,

    I want to play some d&d with two friends soon; and the role as dm came to me. (we would want to increase the group size if the first few small adventures run good)

    My experience in rpgs is limited to maybe 5 runs (Shadowrun 4th Edition) and a few adventures (two if which I was GM) in "Das Schwarze Auge". But both now over a decade ago.

    One of the adventurers in the group has a bit of experience and shouldn't be a problem; the other adventurer (my gf) has never played any rpg before.

    I ordered the core rule set (player,master,monster-handbook) bundled with xanathars (and a dm-screen). On top of that enough dices and the book "candlekeep mysteries"

    Do I need anything else? Any tipps for preparation? How important is the tabletop aspect i see popping up here in some pics?

    --- edit:

    Thanks for all of your tips!
