  • Anyone else got a weirdly low pain threshold?

    Jump

  • Yeah unfortunately, I was always sort of teased at school as a wimp or whatever. It also makes me really scared of doctors etc

  • Frequent Lying

    Jump

  • Yeah, I feel like this is an extension of masking to meet society's expectations. I've done similar things as a kid and even now as a middle aged person there are situations where I find it really hard to be myself, I just roleplay as the character I know others want me to be so that they leave me alone.

  • Id be off that plane so fast

    Jump

  • 100%

  • Does anyone else have a hard time communicating their needs/wants?

    Jump

  • Yeah definitely asking for help or making requests is really hard. I tend not to see medical professionals unless things are really really bad for that reason and otherwise ignore a lot of things that would require interaction. I'm lucky that I am able to live alone and fend for myself but I am a little afraid as to what I will do if that stops being the case.

  • Does anybody else have unconscious multitasking?

    Jump

  • Yeah although 'your subconscious thinking about a problem' is not what is actually happening. It's just the fact that you are approaching the problem with a different history and mental state. (There's a book called The Mind is Flat about this if you're interested)

    Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the biggest patriot of them all? It is I, Robert Jenrick

  • This is a satirical opinion piece and is actually supposed to be onion like

  • I used to have a spreadsheet that I used as a password management type thing where all I had to do was remember the codeword and then I could use the spreadsheet to convert the stored 'password' into the real one. But then I just started using a password manager because same principle but less effort :p

  • Anyone other nice high school stories to share?

    Jump

  • I actually had plenty of model cars, just not hot wheels! :p

  • Anyone other nice high school stories to share?

  • My experience was the opposite of this unfortunately. Everyone hated me and even the people who didn't avoided me because I imagine being associated with me devalued their social standing.

  • i like the people who dont question the late replies

    Jump

  • 100%, I really resonate strongly with this, and I think also like another reply I grew with overbearing family who never left me alone. It's easier these days because I've severed most ties but even with my couple of close friends I think they will panic if they don't hear from me for even a day

  • Smells

    Jump

  • Yeah human smells are pretty horrible

  • Mimi #7: First Day of Class

    Jump

  • Heh I was just going to block the user myself for the same reason but I thought I'd check the comments to see if anyone had any better ideas!

  • So, anyone in here playing Blue Prince?

    Jump

  • I'm still going... Some of the cryptic stuff is a little too much so for me in places though (asd here)

  • Because it's sensationalist reporting that is capitalising on existing anxieties in society.

    The MELD score for liver transplants has been used for at least 20 years. There are plenty of other algorithmic decision models used in medicine (and in insurance to determine what your premiums are, and anything else that requires a prediction about uncertain outcomes). There are obviously continual refinements over time to models but nobody is going to use chatGPT or whatever to decide whether you get a transplant.

  • There is an implicit assumption here that models are being 'trained', perhaps because LLMs are a hot topic. By models we are usually talking about things like decision trees or regression models or Markov models that put in risk probabilities of various eventualities based on patient characteristics. These things are not designed to mimic human decision makers, they are designed to make as objective a recommendation as possible based on probability and utility and then left down to doctors to use the result in whichever way seems best suited to the context. If you have one liver and 10 patients, it seems prudent to have some sort of calculation as to who is going to have the best likely outcome to decide who to give it to, for example, then just asking one doctor that may be swayed by a bunch of irrelevant factors.

  • Sigh. Unfortunately there's a lot of misinformation around this topic that gets people riled up for no reason. There's plenty of research in healthcare decision making since Paul Meehl (see Gerd Gigerenzer for more recent work) that shows using statistical models as decision aids massively compensate for the biases that happen when you entrust a decision to a human practitioner. No algorithm is making a final call without supervision, they are just being used to look at situations more objectively. People get very anxious in healthcare when a model is involved and yet the irony is humans alone make terrible decisions.

  • Yeah first thing I thought too

  • Eurasian Eagle Owls always look so grumpy

    Jump

  • Ah ok, thank you for the clarification and that does make me feel better about it, though it's still something I will admittedly always have some discomfort towards.

  • You'd be grumpy too if you were tied to a post by your feet
