Every new year’s resolution of his: “reset to default settings”.

Why do I doubt that "neurotypical" label

[-] Daxter101 116 points 1 year ago

Nah, if this is built through the social process of "Ha dude, this would be so cool, tell me, what should I add?" I think it's perfectly plausible.

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

The order he put it in certainly seems to hint at that process in action

[-] hungryphrog 46 points 1 year ago

found the factory settings guy

[-] Ashelyn 40 points 1 year ago

Assuming all of his traits listed are "default" is part of the problem

(I'm sorry, I know it's a joke and I do think it's quite funny but I feel like I have to bring this up as a disclaimer)

How do I mass factory reboot the entire planet? Asking for an alien friend from outer space

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago

Seeing it like this does make the whole thing seem weirder

Believe what is real? The interaction in the screen shot or the profile of the person in the screenshot?

I don't have a reason to doubt the interaction being genuine, and the profile screenshot also seems like a genuine profile from someone being funny.

And tbh, this seems like the nicest possible way to make fun of Tumblr culture

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 year ago

It feels like they are just having fun.

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

WTF is there to be antagonistic about?

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 18 points 1 year ago

I literally have no fucking clue. But I don't like the tone of your syntax; you better watch how you type when commenting, my dude

[-] Sidhean@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Sure, all digital records are falsifiable. But everything here seems.. normal. I'm not sure what you mean? It's not like they're claiming their school made them shit in a sandbox or anything. Not trying to be antagonistic, I just don't see anything here that screams "this is an outright lie" or even "this is implausible"

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Even if it was an outright lie. Why would that make you antagonistic?

We're supposed to believe some tumblers have their Bio as the rarest creature in existence. But it's wrong to believe someone wanted to poke fun at this shit:

"Quantum Sexual | Heterochromia (Red, Blue, Green) | Multiple Personality Disorder | Paris Syndrome | Ferngully Syndrome | OCD | Reeboks w/ straps | Boots w/ furs | WereBecklespinax"

As a queer person, for me at least I find the 'default' language pretty funny. I think it could just as easily be seen as acknowledgement of privilege as the other way around

[-] uriel238 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was neurodivergent all this time. It's just people expressed it as there's something odd about that little boy.

The thing is, the more you explore all those microlabels, the more you find things that you're into, which wouldn’t have been explored if you're socially obligated to conform to a standard vanilla norm. Dark identity. (As in dark matter, not who the man is in the dark though there sometimes is that.)

For me, the gateway was major depression. I did a lot of deep diving to understand why I so readily despair even when outlooks appeared to be okay (though on national and global levels there are good justifications for dispair, but that's a different rant) In finding out why I'm so conditioned to Tragic Vampire Romance Island, I find out all my microidentities and kinks along the way.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's "extra", not "extro". They're "extra-terrestrials", not "extro-terrestrials". Extro is not a latin word, extra is.

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 45 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you're talking of extrovert then you're wrong, extrovert is a correct spelling of the word.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, extravert is the correct psychological nomenclature. Extraversion. Extroversion was not a thing until everyone got it wrong and it had to be shoved into dictionaries. Doesn't change a thing, "extro" is not a word. "Intro" on the other hand, is. As in "introvert".

What, do mutants have extro-sensory perception now, too? Is there extroneous information? Extrovehicular? Extrovagance? Extrovaganza?

"Extraversion" is correct.

[-] BearGun@ttrpg.network 18 points 1 year ago

Sorry bud, it's a word exactly because "everyone got it wrong and it had to be shoved into dictionaries". Languages and the words they contain aren't static, they evolve over time based on how people use them.

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

No no, language as it existed at the time I learned it is the FOREVER AND ONLY CORRECT WAY. -OP, probably.

[-] Leafhouse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Theyre like the linguistic version of religious nutjobs. Semantics dont matter, they just want you to live your life according to a stern set of rules with no flexibility. Submit or burn in hell.

[-] androogee@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In the 90s there was an explosion of people desperate to "correct" every usage of the word 'irony.'

Nevermind that one of the definitions is just an "incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs."

Any outcome that's different from what you expected meets the definition of 'ironic.' That's all you need.

You probably shouldn't expect clear weather just because it's your wedding day. But if you do, and it rains, it's fuckin ironic.

But to this day, fools fall all over themselves to chirp up anytime Alanis Morisette comes on the radio.

The allure of the appearance of superiority is strong. We're all vulnerable to it, or most of us.

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

A quick search on Google scholar for "extravert" and "extrovert" both yield results with hundreds of citations so I think both are clearly acceptable.

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 41 points 1 year ago
[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oof, shove a bat up your ass! Do governments perform extrojudicial killings? Do we extrodite prisoners, and extropolate data, too?

Extra means "without" or "outside". Extro has no definition, because it's not a word. It is in opposition to "intro" which is also, GASP, a latin word, meaning "within", or "inside". How is this hard to understand? God I hate throngs of people being wrong at the same time.

"Extrovert" was introduced BECAUSE uneducated people used the wrong word so much they had to.

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Or English comes from a broad range of roots, not just Latin, and you have a hard time admitting when you were wrong!

Not to mention you already conceded that it’s the current correct form of the word, and if you think language doesn’t change over time due to usage then you’re doubly ignorant.

[-] force@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It gives me so much joy seeing a Lemmy thread collectively shit on a completely bad take on linguistics

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

Extrovert" was introduced BECAUSE uneducated people used the wrong word so much they had to.

Boy, wait til you learn about literally every word in the English language (another example of a word changing due to use)

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Jung used "extra" and "intro", case closed. Latin for "turning outside" and "turning inside".

...though Jung also didn't mean extraversion as synonymous with "sociable" or introversion with "needs to refill their tank" or whatnot, but "cognition primarily concerned with the object as opposed to the subject or the other way around".

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

It's a Germanic word, not a Latin word. It's based on the German word extravert but it is absolutely spelled extrovert in English since about 1918.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Jung was Swiss that doesn't make extravert any less Latin. German would be "auswärts gerichtet" vs. "einwärts gerichtet".

[-] TheCoolerMia 11 points 1 year ago

alright then buddy

I'M GOING TO SHIT YOURSELF

[-] cuchilloc@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

extravert is reserved for Tony Hawk and the likes, like the guy who did a 1440 on the super ramp.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

It's an Albany expression.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well Seymour, you are an odd fellow. Although I must say, you extro a good vert

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's what I have been saying all along!

[-] Sidhean@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

(Excepting extra-verted people) There isn't anywhere that I see an "extro" that should be an "extra". Any chance you could point it out?

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

extrovert

I am on a crusade since about twenty years about this, and the war, well, it's not going well....

[-] force@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

because you're wrong, lol, prescriptivism is just anti-linguistics. linguistics is desctiptive and based on usage
