I got pulled over once for a single rear view mirror going over the line on an empty stretch of road late at night. I always comply, and try to be as nice and courteous as I can. Had not been doing anything wrong. Was not under the influence of anything.

That stop ended with me and my passenger handcuffed on a squad car while a canine unit searched my vehicle for fifteen minutes.

Things involving the police can and do occur for vague, obscure and otherwise surreal reasons regardless of whether it offends your incredulity

Reply to Would the most sentient ai ever actually experience emotion or does it just think it is? Is the thinking strong enough to effectively be emotion? by wonderingandthinking

Fun fact: the Turing test isn’t about AI being on the same level as us. It doesn’t NEED to progress that far. It is about convincing us that they (the intelligence) is able to mimic. Think the Chinese room thought experiment touches on some of these ideas but don’t quote me on that.

EDIT: in a nutshell we are subjective entities and we have to accept that every piece of reality beyond the self may not be real but may be an uncannily near approximation of reality and that the two are all but the same.

Childhood bullying is such a long-standing pervasive thing. I still deal with emotional outbursts time to time over stuff from sixth through twelfth grade.

I’m sorry you had to go through what you did though. It had to be pretty bad I’m guessing

There is always overlap though. Look at a Venn diagram of ASD and ADHD.

And I didn’t downvote you just fyi. I don’t exactly agree with what you said completely as I think you are insinuating ASD to be an artificial construct to a degree but I don’t see it as something worth a downer.

Thank you for sharing the link. And thank you otherwise. I must have been paying attention during the several years of intense therapy 😂

It’s amazing how PTSD and in utero developmental disorders can have such overlapping symptom manifestation. Like I was diagnosed as having ASD and PTSD among a few other things (not CPTSD) though some potential recovered memory fragments since would possibly suggest chronic would be a fit

But I often wonder if the ASD could be a misdiagnosis of how CPTSD interplays with my other issues as I have what seems like some very obvious tells that I am on the spectrum but even understanding what is meant by spectrum there is a little cause for pause.

I dunno, random thought I felt like sharing
