To confirm, I had all of these with extreme hyperthyroidism (the rash being from the medication)

Edit: maybe no confusion

Physicist behavior

Fruit the botanical term and fruit the culinary term are just not the same word. Similarly to how theory means something different in science and in colloquial speech. That’s just how language works.

Is this the most boring episode of the twilight zone? I just made this 10 mins ago (was relevant in a convo):

I’m probably going to move out of Austria in a few months and the one thing that’ll take a while to get used to is that in most other European countries you ‘only’ get 13 wages a year instead of the 14 I’m used to.

That is very interesting and makes sense. And I feel honoured, lol. I’m a pretty genderless human, so I like that but.

Super interesting, cause for me it’s the opposite! If I try to read it out loud mentally, my mind is (I guess) understimulated and starts to wander, causing me to have to reread it.

Side question: if you give text a voice, what kind of a voice are you giving my comments here? Not just asking you specifically, but anyone who wants to answer!

Thanks for the pointer, I’ll read the wiki!

Hm so it isn’t like reading it out loud, except in your head, after all?

Interesting, everyone I’ve told this to said that is indeed how they read!

Does reading something quietly take as long as reading something out loud for you? It’s hard to imagine!

The way I explain it is: when you read, you don’t read the words aloud in your head. You look at them and register their meaning. My thoughts are just those meanings. Usually in larger chunks than single words though. They don’t have a language. I can ‘picture’ sounds I’ve heard before though, like getting a song stuck in my head. That one’s more difficult with pictures.

So yeah it’s probably your field! Sorry about that. Fwiw I don’t think the problem is that it isn’t ‘hard science’, I find it easy to find philosophical works (German, English and French language ones). It’s probably just too niche.

That’d also harm big corporations less than small, independent artists who don’t get paid as much per use of their artwork.

Under capitalism, copyrights are a necessary tool for people to get paid for their labour in some cases. That’s not the most common usecase for copyrights, but a needed one until we get a better system. Fuck copyrights being used for corporate greed though. Somehow, more people are against the former than the latter, which is super wrong. But it’s not a reason to be against the former in addition to being against the latter.

Idk if itll help but have you tried annas archive? It mirrors multiple science piracy sites.

Edit:do you mean pedagogical materials or research? Cause I don’t think you’ll be lucky if it’s the former.

Most enbies consider ourselves trans, seeing as trans means to identify with a gender other than the one you were assigned.

Ah fair! I wasn’t super clear, I was more talking about my comment than the original post.

It’s more nuanced. It’s ‘this is a social construct, therefore I can just decide whether I want to accept it, and I dont’

With the added /s it still reads like you’re using an example to explain why things shouldn’t be rejected based on them being social constructs. The edit just reads like you’re smug about it. If that’s not what you’re saying, can you explain what you mean?

Makes sense that if your political views include that whether you deserve to stay alive is tied to how much value you create for shareholders, you spend less time nurturing your creativity.
