The first four terms became associated with disabilities through the medical field. The first two terms were categories on the IQ-Scale (idiot is the one that comes before imbecile in that scale, btb). The third is a shortening of a medical term conflated with another (spasticity and clonus) and the fourth is another psychological term referring to similar things as the first two.

Those were originally meant to be clinical but have been abused by those people, they also were created from outside the community (special needs most likely too, as it is a euphemism). I am unsure about “Acoustic”, that might be embracing of a meme, unless it was used as a euphemism for autism by non-autistic people.

Neurodivergent is different, this is a term coined by a part of the community. I am not sure whether the term endonym is accurate here but it is similar in nature.

Idk if you’ve seen one of these dubs/voice overs, but usually the underlying is so quite, it is closer to being muted than actually understandable

Without any context I was so confused why some parts of the text were bolder than others x.x

If I understand it correctly it’s to aid in speed reading, right?

Calling oneself Empress or Emperor usually does imply that, I guess

I’d almost agree. Steam is great with it’s return policy, but only really by comparison. The 14 days is definitely plenty of time, but 2h is not a lot for quite a few, and especially the expensive, games.

Who the hell is Empress? O.o

Scammers evolve to find new prey. While the phone scams and the different types of phishing might still work, I am quite that’s not where most of the money is now.

We’ve seen kickstarter, bitcoin, mlm scams and what not. There’s enough out there that have not been properly identified, too.

Could I get some more context? Seems like an interesting rabbit-hole to alice-about in

Don’t think that works for words that don’t have a verb as a base, i.e. Krankenpflege works because Pflege is a Verb and can be conjugated to Krankenpflegende but Mechaniker:in doesn’t conjugate.

Also Geborgene means nothing even adjacent to being a Bürger. I’d personally would have guessed Bürgende but even that is a major stretch. You would either have to create an entirely new way to conjugate nouns or you have to use synonyms that can be conjugated that way. Both ways will be a huge change to how German is spoken

How is paladins now actually? I haven’t played it since I think 5 years. Remember it was quite fun but not really on-par to OW

Honestly, with that reading I think she didn’t tell him, because she didn’t want to be a burden to him, especially when he got somewhat “successful”. She only told him after she was dying, knew she couldn’t abuse him for long, if ever. On top of that, where would the sun actually have gone? Doubt her relationship with her parents or her family was anywhere close to stable, so she chose someone she knew would love and care for the child. The other option probably would’ve been foster care, which, as most probably know, is a horrible experience

Definitely is. I forgot the actual name of the writing style, but for children’s books it is also not uncommon to have kanji with their hiragana transliteration above/beside it. Requiring someone to immediately write kanji when they learn japanese, especially as a secondary+ language is insane

Posts. And iirc, it only hides them until you refresh.

I prefer it, because it allows me to explore and be exposed to more posts, especially if it is a slower day. I can just mark/favorite a post I found funny or interesting, which allows for faster searching anyway.

Tbh, I don’t particularly enjoy the way it looks and when I used it there were a few quality of life things, like hiding read items. But could’ve changed now

Do you know if there is a way you can easily read it without relying on the HTML version?
