Sorry best I can do is a 2 hour nap in 30 minutes chunks to not go offline in slack and back to capitalist hell tryna survive another day.

As an AI nerd, this to me looks AI-generated.

What's with the teeth? The lower lip? What's with the variance in the necklace? The eyes look more 'real' than the rest and don't fit either. They're also at different heights looking in different directions. Why are the eyelashes on one eye only? Why, on the left eye are there shadows of eyelashes that don't exist towards the inner portion of the eye? Why do her gums look like they're bleeding? Why are some pearls on the earring melting into each other? Why "forward"? It sounds like something from the Simpsons

The whole thing seems like a joke.

Do we have a confirmation it's actually the guy from a credible source?

EDIT: added a few extra details I noticed.

No need to be so jealous and insecure bro, just because you're not getting fucked doesn't mean you're a lesser human being or less valid as a person. We don't measure human worth in penis.

Agreed!

For me while booze is ok (benzos better though, but awful withdrawals), weed is panic attack juice honestly. Never once could I describe weed as relaxing except on the come down.

From my experience this is very common amongst ADHD folks.

I find THC to be an extremely stimulating psychedelic but unlike other psychs very unrewarding. On the other hand amphetamine is genuinely calming.

Think they probably forgot about the lads and thought of estrogen only.

Amphetamine. That's the usual medication for ADHD, so that's what I take. It helps a lot. I've tried my gf's vyvanse and while the vyvanse is nicer in that the come up and come downs are smoother and the whole thing lasts a bit longer, it definitely still helps a helluva lot.

Honestly felt like I just put contact lenses on for the first time. Such a huge help. Makes it all the more sad how many can't access treatment.

I think all substances should be legalized as long as they're clearly labeled, and the whole system of gatekeeping it behind diagnoses of geriatric slow moving institutions is quite archaic and needs to go.

I should clarify by self-medicating for ADHD what I mean is administering ADHD meds to yourself, i.e. buying darknet amphetamine and taking it in medicinal doses.

Once you do pretty much any strength training (or just heavy lifting) at all, BMI loses its value pretty quickly. It's a rough indicator.

So it seems like there's just an exception in the few gymrat type folks out there and athletes. Still seems like a small exception group compared to the general population. That aside, the bit about certain people being healthier while bigger/smaller seems anecdotal and unscientific afaik.

Most people check a good number of boxes on a good number of those checklists.

I don't think most people would check many boxes for schizophrenia or gender dysphoria or even ADHD, though as always the real test is whether the meds help.

As for GAD or something more unspecific it's really more about whether it impacts their life negatively or not which is a presumption under which those checklists are meant to be taken.

Still, I've never heard of someone checking off all the boxes while self-diagnosing and then going on to not be legitimately diagnosed outside of a few cases where supposed professionals usually apply some discrimination based on immutable characteristics.

Almost every individual checkbox is "checked" or not based on the doctor's subjective evaluation.

Yeah this kind of just demonstrates that the doctor's part of the equation is utter bullshit

Good point!

But the alternative to being high weight without high body fat % is high muscle mass, which is only a thing in a few humans.

IQ is indeed not representative of intelligence because we can't represent a lot of functions of intelligence in a sensible test.

The DSM is a list of diagnostic criteria. Hopefully patient-facing shrinks don't use "raw data" outside of said diagnostic criteria to make judgements on diagnoses, otherwise they're just using arbitrary non-spec information.

What other raw data is used in the weight example?

So it's a decent guideline like you said, barring some extreme exceptions like olympic-level athletes which aren't a high percentage of the population.
