I'm 53 now and was considering getting an official diagnosis a few years ago, I even had the initial appointments set up.
I canceled it, because there was too much going on in my life at that moment (even got a notification I could reschedule for later)
All that made me think about what I was hoping for from diagnosis. In the end it was just having something in writing that would help me with self-acceptance.
Around that time I also was in a group psychotherapy so I talked about that and that part is now solved.
Regarding meds - I don't want to try them now as my other coping strategies are good enough at the moment and I'm a bit wary of side effects as I need to take a handful of. medicine every day, anyways.
In the end you need to decide why you want a diagnosis. If you want to try meds I'd go for it. (My son "inherited" it from me and had meds for a time, which really helped him).
In a case like mine where I didn't expect any new strategies out of it or didn't want meds - it was probably the right decision to skip it.
Oh man, you should ALSO have taken off 1.1.1970 (IIRC) to get that day off.
Speaking for a friend, they crashed the Mini Clubman S I love... sorry, THEY loved very much because of a WhatsApp that just arrived. Some one five cars ahead or so had to slam their brakes - eyes on the street would have made the reaction time "just enough" but even looking away for one second caused the crash.
Learn from my err friend, don't look at your phone while driving, even for a very short time.
Damage on the Mini was more than its worth at the time. No one was injured, but even what looks like a small fender bender can quickly get very expensive nowadays.
Use this instead when you're in Germany:
Oh man, from time to time I miss my W124. It was a 300CE coupe in that violet-ish color (Bornit), that people either love or hate.
Where's the problem? If the door opens blows out en route the astronauts will probably still reentry.
Now I am completely unsure whether to call this a dad joke.
I have a couchsurfing guestbook and and some guests left me a few small hrynvia bills in 2018. I just rediscovered them and think about my guests who visited me in Munich and just hope everyone is safe.
This is not global news, just about remembering everything is always about real people with faces and names who just want to do nothing else but live normal. lifes.
Slava Ukraini!
Sorry for making fun about your typo, but the thought of a cussion - a cushion that cusses like a sailor every time you sit on it - is too funny.
It's probably also a matter of perspective and where in the world you live.
I feel specifically the last 25 years have been specifically bad with the outbreak of quite a number of wars. Starting with two gulf wars, balkan war, several wars around the russian influence sphere, a lot going on in africa, wars nearly forgotten by the media like Yemen, and ultimately Israel/Gaza....
It 's a shit show, globally right now.
The footrest is still there in a manual car. The brake pedal is smaller, the clutch in between.
When you brake you hit the clutch with the left foot and brake with the right one on the brake pedal. Unintentionally smashing the wider brake pedal can happen if you switch from a smaller car to one with a very wide brake pedal. (Mercedes have quite wide brake pedals, for example)
It also happened a few times to me over my. life until I got used to put my left foot very close to the seat when driving automatic, so I don't subconsciously use it. (Just "away" from where I'd have it in a manual car)
It typically happens if you need to do emergency braking anyways and just all the reflexes kick in. In normal situations it never happened to me.
I was sarcastic. In Germany. He was very adept at arranging himself during the war and also afterwards.
I have reason to believe he was one of those who chose to ignore things, that's why I can't stand such people - just like the woman in the video.
"They are all Nazis over there" is something you try to put into my mouth.
I said it is the same situation in Russia where people do not speak up against what their country does. I also understand if they fear repercussions.
But this woman, who said she was in Brazil before, just whines around, "Russia is strong" and obviously is very OK with what happens or chooses to ignore it. She has been out of Russia for some time, she has seen other. media.
What I said - the same what happened in Germany is happening in Russia right now. People CHOOSING not to see and not to, speak about it.
I never said anything about "all" Russians.
Don't try to put words in my mouth.
What I expect - yes demand - from someone like this woman is acknowledging what happens.
All those Hitler comparisons hit very close, as I'm German, born long after the war. It was. my grandparent generation that allowed things to happen.
I have utmost respect for people who speak out against atrocities their country does, but in sucj a case - Hitler or Putin - being silent is agreeing.
The woman in this video just whines how everyone treats her badly. If she had said one time, she understands because of what her country does - and then say, how it makes her life bad, I could somehow sympathize. This way - I can not.
I have a Russian coworker who started business meetings with a minute of silence for the Ukrainian victims during the full invasion. That is something I can respect.
I never got any details, but I have reason to believe my own grandfather arranged himself with the Nazis, some say he was a party member. Others say, he and my grandma hid someone from them. Nevertheless he managed to own a soft drink factory (and quickly got a Coca Cola contract after the war)
I'm fucking fed up with people who arrange themselves with dictators and are just opportunists. As this woman obviously is.
Yes, riiiiiiight - as well as my grandparent generation had noooothing to do with the things that happened here in Germany during WW2.
I would get it if she'd acknowledge what her country does and state that she doesn't agree with Russia invading other countries. But this tearful "everyone treats us soooo bad", blaming everyone else.... fuck, no.
By the way, random selection is one of the few methods to guarantee a fair and representatative sample.
In case of a library I'd want at least part of the catalog represent media of the times is was created, because science also uses that.
One reason archaelogy in Pompei is valuable is that everyrhing - including pornograhic graffiti and slander was preserved, giving us a different perspective into those times than books by medieval historians.
Of course, I'd also want - in another part of the catalog - books/media by manually selected scientists, artists, historians.

Sorry, couldn't resist the clickbait title, but yes, THOSE should be checked from time to time, too.
But the PSA I want to say is: Check your printer for mechanical problems if you have trouble. It might not be obvious in the first place.
In this case my Ender 3 Pro with sprite was printing a horrible first layer and the z offset was never right - when it looked ok on the left side of the x axis it was off on the right side and vice versa. (Regardless of endless tries of bed tramming and using a bed mesh)
It turned out I had the eccentric nut on the right side of the gantry tightend too much when mounting the sprite, so the right side of the gantry was not moving freely enough.
Now I adjusted the eccentric nut, so I can juuuuust turn the wheel with my finger a bit, maybe a bit looser that what was explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsEdU8ZtI6U
(And people, don't purchase a single Z axis printer if you can avoid it. When I bought my Ender there was a HUGE price difference to dual Z, but nowadays thigs look much better)
