    After years and years of hard work and therapy, I’m now a hilarious mix of the two.

    You might ask, “How is your sink so empty and your kitchen so clean, but your clean laundry is piled so high that this is probably your entire wardrobe here on the floor next to the dryer?”

    Well, I would answer, “How did you get in my house and would you like something to eat?”

      My disassociations are boring. I basically just stand there while I’m swept away by my chaotic stream of thoughts.

      But, I somehow figured out if I let things get super chaotic, it becomes background noise and I’m suddenly meditating. As an added bonus my brain decided that would be my pain response, so now my pain tolerance is crazy high (like getting a vasectomy without anesthesia and only saying ouch under my breath a few times).

      I do Uber in a tourist area during peak times. And I feel this comment.

      Weekdays it’s silence other than the NPR radio talking points. Friday to Sunday it’s chatter that I submit to in fear of losing out on the seldom tip.

      Are you asking what the term means? Masking is basically wearing an imaginary mask to hide whatever about you isn’t deemed “normal” by society. Some typical examples are people with ADHD focussing very hard on noticing when it’s their turn to speak, people with autism forcing themselves to make eye contact, people with depression putting on a happy face. Normal Person cosplay.

        Interesting take. Care to elaborate what role AI plays in this context? Recognizing swear words in image files, I guess?

        Also I’m willfully using more swear words on Lemmy if it means they won’t farm my comments for training their fucking piss shit AI without my goddamn consent. Horsefuckers!

          The underlying tech doesn’t care about swear words. But, from what I hear, the “AI” models and interfaces that are be marketed for general use have been intentionally trained not to emit such words, and may even be blinded to those words by their creators. I haven’t verified it, but supposedly adding “fucking” to your Google / Bing search query will completely disable their “AI” generated results, e.g.

        • It’s using AI to filter or reduce interactions with words puritans and Chinese censors find “offensive” but to the other responses point, it goes deeper. They train the AI not to cuss, not to be able to discuss sex at all, and to avoid topics that the developers’ companies or countries don’t like. But we’re never shown what they push for or are guarded from by the companies releasing them, so the shift is subtle.

            May I ask what “Chinese censors” have to do with anything? It’s completely feasible to me that this is an all-American problem, imposed on us for the sake of brand friendliness; same as it’s been for other instances of censorship like network censors on television or the YouTube adpocalypse; and carried over into our language now more generally to end up in a place like lemmy. It’s perfectly explained by the attitudes and surface-level friendliness of “polite society” in western culture. I don’t see the point in using a foreign adversary to explain it away, or pretending that censorship is anything different when it’s done by a government vs private entities that shouldn’t have that kind of unchecked authority over what we’re allowed to communicate in the first place. I also have no reason to believe China gives any fucks about the vulgarity of English speakers on the English internet. It just seems weird to me to bring them up here.

    There’s also the type that constantly has extra (possibly clarifying) thoughts in the middle of their typed sentences. So, they use parentheses to add those clarifications because having to retype the sentence would derail their train of thought and they’d then completely fail to convey anything.

      I absolutely detest that kind (the kind who writes a giant parenthetical in the middle if their sentence before one or two words at the end. Just put the fucking parenthetical after the sentence! jfc) of person.

      So, so much. Then realizing you typed two paragraphs replying to a text. Then spend 30 minutes on full re-edits until your self doubt makes you eventually delete it all and simply respond “ok” where normal people only take 10 seconds to type that and yet you get annoyed by their lack of communication. And thus the self hatred spiral continues, as ever.

        Listen there is nothing wrong with having used both commas, dashes and parentheses in the same comment. It’s perfectly normal.

        Right?

        Use m-dashes and no spaces, and you’ll be doing it right. The m-dash—which look like this—is the appropiate punctuation for this purpose.

    I think this division exists in any population that has something other people call a “disorder”. There’s always the yeah I have it, go fuck yourself group and the no no no, I’m totally normal just like you group.

    Fuck it, I don’t seem to have AD(H)D. That’s why I’ve spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can’t fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I’m so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

    Sometimes it’s both, where you mask to seem like the first, while being the second.

    I’m one of the “fuck it lmao” types and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Life is suffering, but I’m also very easily amused and thrive in chaos.
