I was aware that shops and restaurants couldn’t sell food marked as expired but I had thought that the dates were still arbitrary. That’s what I learned about today.

Nice comment! TIL

Sure but that is not on their radar.

There are regulations around what you can call organic. Any issue you have here is probably more geared towards the laws themselves.

Anything you can think of if there isn’t a law that says they can’t. One big one for me is expiration dates. Aside from, say, milk, they really don’t mean much.

No. You feel bad which means you are capable of empathy.

I’m happy to hear that you looked up some of this for yourself. I figured that it was the definitions that were catching you more than the concepts.

The DSM has some very odd references in it. For instance, “retarded” is a technical definition that exists and is a possible diagnosis even though society has long moved passed that concept. Mental health is weird.

Neurodivergent includes all those categories except the disorders or illnesses. Here’s why:

Things like psychopathy are caused by structural differences in the brain that make sufferers incapable of experiencing the same set of emotions as most people. Many negative behaviors are caused by lack of inhibition or empathy for others.

People with autism and adhd process information differently and respond to the world differently as a result. In severe cases this can lead to an inability to engage but will generally result more in inappropriate engagement.

Behavioral health conditions are a mix of psychological and neurological issues that require a wide variety of interventions.

These are very different things.

I think that what you are noting is that narcissism can be caused by differences in brain structure, like in psychopathy, or by differences in upbringing, like in sociopathy. In the first case, you’re born that way. In the second case, trauma and such made you that way.

They are different things.

Neurodivergent people process information differently but have all the correct parts to process. They may interact with the world in slightly different ways but do not have a personality DEFECT.

People who are narcissists are missing a primary component: empathy for other humans. Their minds are fundamentally different than neurotypical and neurodivergent people.

Those are personality disorders, not forms of neurodivergence.

What doesn’t add up to me is why he used a gift card instead of using credit. I suspect that there is more going on here.

You’d have a lot of people erasing their trauma and then not understanding why they do or feel a certain way about things.

Bonus points if they open Spotlight and type “CMD”.

This story is specifically non-gendered but people keep assuming that OP is male and partner is female.

Thank you.

I keep seeing this reference but missed the news. What’s going on?

Sir is not a grammatical person. You/Thou are, however. That’s the difference.

Technically English has this too but it’s not used outside of extremely formal situations. You = formal, Thou = informal.

It won’t happen. Even Dems sided with Reps recently and gave them everything they wanted. You can’t trust either one of these groups, though there are individuals within that you can trust.
