    I’m assuming to some degree diagnoses of this and similar disorders are affected by the replication crisis in psychology, and that many people just made bad choices or made the wrong enemies and got labelled with them at some point by our cursed medical system. Estimates on what percentage of the diagnosed are legitimately and undeniably ill with these disorders? Also I’d take a narcissist over a psychopath or sociopath any day.










  • I can see why Techbros would want such gorgeous invertebrates as pets but as long as they have enough enrichment in their enclosure but I would hardly call keeping these primitive worms slavery. Any kind of exotic pet always raises questions of ethicality so I understand why you’d be concerned. Do you personally know some people in the tech industry that keep these? How big a terrarium do they need and what kinds of plants and substrate do they prefer?


  • The website my neighbor recommended only had me enter in the vision measurement numbers, pick materials/coating and away we went. A few others I comparison shopped seemed to have the same policy.

    I bought 2 pairs and even the least expensive ones look flattering and were very affordable at $25 (including lenses). I am in the US. They seem properly made, same prescription to my eyes as my old ones.

    Its believable that some websites would ask for an image of the prescription though. Hopefully this kind of ad-hoc service will continue to be available because my old glasses became unusable and I would have to wait 6+ months for a fairly expensive optometrists appointment otherwise.
