Gibt auch Leute die brauchen Koffein und trinken kein Kaffee.

Ich brauche Koffein (oder andere Stimulantien) um mich zu konzentrieren und um einzuschlafen.

Entsprechend trinke ich pro Tag 1L+ Cola und 0.5L+ Energy.

Inzwischen wenigstens Zuckerfrei; aber ich weiß dass es das nicht viel besser macht xD

Ich würde behaupten dass nicht medikamentös eingestellte Personen die eigentlich Stimulatien benötigen und sich so zumindest am Laufen halten einen nicht zu verachtenden Teil des Konsums ausmachen.

Makes sense, thanks for the (late) explanation xD

which is easy to disable (unless changed since I played the last time) if you’re fine with playing offline

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.

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

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

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)

I always imagine a (local) car, and remember which side the driver sits on

Thanks for the extensive response :)

Thanks for the fast response :)

Can I get a (few) title(s), please?

I’ve read (only) half of the disc-world books, but I don’t know what you’re referencing.

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)

And check if the lockpickinglawyer already tested said trigger lock.

It’s not my area of expertise; but the ones he tested were far from safe.

Yes, but it’s a bit hard to get; even in countries that try to improve trans-care rather than reduce it.

There are just so many therapists; the waiting lists are sometimes simply closed because they stretch years.

For many people, these hormones mean the difference between a livable life and extreme dysphoria, depression and suicidality.

If they could get them on the regular way, they would. But the regular way is often full of problems. So some people have to fall back to just do it themself.

I even heard of doctors who do some medical checks under the counter to ensure everything is done as safe as possible (but aren’t able to prescribe hormones themself without prior psychotherapeutical indication)

So; your point would be valid in theory, but unfortunately for many trans-people, it’s the only way to get their possibly life-saving medication.

Not necessarily

You could twist the rules.

Instead of hearing “hit” you get handed the shot you just hit

Didn’t check the sub in the screenshot, didn’t we?

That said I had to really try hard to deliberately missunderstand it.

But well, we seem to have the same native language and therefore maybe intuitively misstranslate it the same way? ^^

Fuck you for hurting the most vulnerable, disgusting decision by disgusting people.

Kann übersetzt werden zu:

Fickt euch dafür die verletzlichste, abscheulichste Entscheidung von abscheulischen Leuten zu verletzen. (weird weil wörtliche Übersetzung; kann auch Beschädigen o.ä. nutzen. Geht mehr um den Sinn als das Wort)

Ist vermutlich gemeint:

Fickt euch dafür die Verletzlichsten zu verletzen; Abscheulische Entscheidung abscheulicher Leute.

I assume they mean something like:

Every time I switch to DDG, I tend to discover things that I can’t find on google because they just don’t pop up in googlee results

the is_even package does not provide much worth indeed because it simply negates is_odd and thereby all its benefit.

It’s dependency is_odd on the other hand provides at least some additional checks (it also checks if the value is a valid integer below the max int value)

And while I would indeed see uses for such methods (especially with the other checks, no simple oneliners) in some cases, especially in testing: This is stuff you write yourself, throw it in a e.g. NumberUtils class and everything is fine. You do never depend on an external library for that. The benefit (not spending a few seconds to write it) does not outweigh any of the drawbacks that come with external libraries.
