    Not true. This is why I dislike the “neurodiversity” trend. Just say autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc as they are without trying to link them with an umbrella term, it leads to the false idea that they are not disabilities/illnesses and even that everyone has something. Most people are neurotypical







  • It hasn’t, it’s just that good opsec is impossible in the long run and everyone is bound to be deanonymized eventually. For example, if you’re using a clean account on a CP sharing forum, it’s possible to track your mannerisms and post history (content, timezone, etc) to get an estimate of where you live. Then they can subpoena the ISPs for IP traffic in that region and figure out who is using Tor. That subset of IPs may then be cross referenced with the time that suspect’s account posted, that can be used as probable cause for a warrant… That sort of stuff. Sounds super complicated but most of it can be automated and bypassed these days (I don’t think you actually need to subpoena for example).
    Where did the suspect fail? He should have used multiple accounts, spaced out the interactions more randomly, used stolen WiFi, ran his comments through a translator and back, etc. At no point did Tor fail at securing his IP address end to end


  • Just talk to them over the table about this spoiling the enjoyment. I had a version of this problem in my TOR table, where one of my players was playing an elf so he was looking up Tolkien lore through chatgpt so his character was appropriately knowledgeable, as an elf erudite should be. IMO this is awesome, but at one point I had to ask him to stop by clearly saying “hey, this stuff we are playing now is strictly from the RPG books, so looking it up will spoil some stuff” or “your character should know this and that about who these guys are”. Works out great








  • I was this guy in my teens (minus the hoping girls get abused part…) and it 100% comes from depression and self loathing. He probably had a tough time getting along with the “normal” kids early on and decided to self isolate. Maybe the now normies had a part in that too back then, bullying him and so on, I know it happened to me… It’s a rough and very hard situation to live through, but there’s hope



  • Thankfully this is a .world comm focused on mental health so I can say this. I don’t think it’s productive or particularly helpful to anyone to be constantly acknowledging “the system”.
    Example: your boss screams at you. IMO the best reaction would be like “damn, what a dumbass, I’ll do my best to avoid him in situations like this one or change my job”. Simple fixes and you can go on with your life. But no, posts like these want you to turn this simple day to day issue into one you can’t ever do anything to deal with, and amplify the negative feelings from just simple anger or sadness to hopelessness, to further “class consciousness” or whatever political motivation. Same thing with right wingers being robbed and turning it into some immigration or race thing instead of just settling down.
    Not to say there isn’t space to discuss this stuff, but actively reminding yourself of problems you have no say in fixing is a negative pattern
