Just learned about RSD... sooo did anyone else have a reputation as a cry baby in elementary school?
  • It definitely helps. You can sometimes logic yourself out of a spiral by acknowledging the emotion and why it's there, while simultaneously rejecting the need for feeling it right now.

    It's like "hey cool thanks brain I get that you want me to make sure that the bad thing doesn't happen again so you're looping that memory and the feeling that came with it. But actually that's not helpful, that situation actually (wasn't dangerous) / (won't happen again) / (isn't something I can solve right now), so let's move on."

    With practice, brain usually says "ok no worries", and you can move on. It's not really that simple but that's the idea.

  • What should i get my 10yo nephew that’s all into radical sports and anything physical for xmas?
  • At 10 he's alllllmost at that age where anything a grown-up relative buys for him is gonna be cringe and not the right brand/style/whatever. You can't go wrong with a voucher so he can get exactly what he wants. Maybe a voucher for a skate shop? You could even take him there and help him get something so it's still an uncle/aunt purchase.

  • What insulting words or phrases have you heard americans being called ?
  • Part of the point (the whole point?) of rhyming slang is that it's opaque and convoluted. That's what makes it fun. It also makes it a bit of a shibboleth - you only understand it if you're part of the culture.

    If you're eating with an Australian and they ask you to "pass the dead horse", it means they think you're Aussie enough to know what it means. Or they know that you won't know what it means and they're fucking with you intentionally.

  • The exception is password managers. It's a very rare tool that makes things more secure and easier.

    Your OS probably comes with one, and if not there are cheap or even free ones available.

  • It's possible for a woman with XY chromosomes to produce testosterone if she doesn't have testicles? or we are talking about a hermaphrodite?
  • My take is irrelevant. Here's a reputable news source about the issue: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-04/paris-olympics-imane-khelif-clinches-medal-in-boxing/104181158

    Tl;dr: she is and always has been a woman. The source of the controversy is the International Boxing Association, which claims she "failed an unspecified eligibility test to compete last year over elevated levels of testosterone."

    Later in the article, in reference to the IBA: "the Russian-dominated body — which has faced years of clashes with the IOC — has refused to provide any information about the tests, underscoring its lack of transparency in nearly every aspect of its dealings, particularly in recent years."

  • Mate I appreciate that you seem to be coming at this with honest curiosity, but do yourself a favour and get this information from reputable news sources.

    This whole thing is so polarised and so full of misinformation that anything you read from randos on social media you have no way of knowing if it's credible or complete bullshit.
