That's fair, but we don't know why they said they weren't sure. Could be educational issues, memory issues, etc.

Not a good look either way. Wild to me that number is so high.

This is interesting, thank you for sharing.

I personally would tally this up as "12%" rather than "24%".

Or at least in my opinion, option "D" (bad person that did some good things) is most likely the closest to an objective answer and "E" (completely bad) is a totally acceptable summary. But both D and E both summarize Hitler as bad. The people summarizing him as "balanced" or "good" totaled to 12%.

To be clear, this is still horrific imo.

That's not fair phrasing and will lead to high numbers.

Hitler wasn't "all" bad technically, he was just so bad that the good shouldn't matter at all. Pushing forward technology (VW Beetle, Autobahn) should is no way be justified by genocide (obviously).

A better question would have been something like "do you like Hitler overall?"

As a psychology nerd:

  • the lack of understanding and empathy for others (even when their opinions are different or "wrong"

  • The lack of understanding of how behavior is driven and encouraged to change.

  • The comfort level with looking at something very complex and assuming you know it deeply in moments (referring to short form video "teaching" psychology and mental health stuff)

  • The overall disconnect between the physical medicine community and the psychological/mental health communities (i.e. mental health is a huge driver in cancer, autoimmune, and other diseases)

  • I could go on. Learning more is my passion but damn it's so depressing when I begin to understand something and see the abounding ignorance on it

What's AMP and why is it undesirable?

Leave now. Fuck your stuff.

  1. get a cab

  2. get a Greyhound to an area with a better outlook.

  3. look for roommates in your destination city on the ride

Right now water because I'm at work. At home.. more for sure.

Having a variety of drinks nearby is a common autism/neurodivergent thing (ask me how I know). Not sure if that applies to you but there but where they are all distinctly different... Uh maybe look into it lol.

It's a funny thing, once the whole "boundaries" thing starts to click it sort of becomes addicting as you slowly realize "oh, I can say no to things I don't like" or "I can ask for the things I wish I had".

Eventually that leads to the secure attachment style (still working on this one myself). But since this began to "click" I have made 3 excellent friends that I don't feel like I need to perform around and it's wild to me.

Are you autistic/neurodivergent by chance? I am, and I read a book called "Unmasking Autism" by Devon Price, PhD and it helped a lot with this for me. Not sure if it would mean anything to people who aren't though.

I recommend mindfulness training if you can. There's a big difference between:

  • "I'm a fuckup"
  • "I feel like a fuckup"
  • "I notice I feel like a fuckup"
  • "I see that I wanted to label myself as a fuckup"

Brains and bodies will automatically attract to higher levels of comfort or peace, so you can start to see the trends in your mental health, it will literally pull you toward fixing it. It may not be a complete fix by itself, but you'll be surprised how much it will do for you.

You are not your illness. Would you feel empathy for a friend with anxiety? Likely yes. If you give them that grace, why not yourself too?

I hope/am glad if this stuff helps.

Ooh, yeah, that changes things a bit for sure. I have seen services for motherboard repair on eBay. Maybe that's worth a look?

If you are as handy as you say you are, just solder in a new jack. I'm guessing this is a Lenovo Legion based on the voltage. They are replaceable. I work in a PC shop and do them all the time.
