If 8 trilobites hang out together, would they make a trilobyte?

Shows that those psych-whatever-ists knew drat about the (ancient) greek language, because ‘word’ would be ‘logos’ and ‘alexi’ is actually a greek surname of ancient decent, that would mean ‘defender’. The ancient greeks would never have named the condition that way! My impression is that various Freudians and Anti-Freudians converged on the term in the early-mid-20th century as a means to make themselves sound smarter than any of them really were.

Source: As someone named Alexander, I just finally felt vaguely offended enough by the term to start digging a little deeper:

And also, nothing about the condition as described by modern sources ever made any sense to me - which after reading the article I linked, wasn’t even a surprise to me anymore. Sorry, rant over.

TL,DR: It’s another piece of etymologic fallout from a historic shitslinging match between researchers and practitioners, but one that didn’t get resolved conclusively. Because brains …

Aaand right. I think I remember a couple spent rocket stages and debris hitting it that isn’t listed, but there shouldn’t be much more that would classify as a ‘vehicle’.

Haha, in some parts of germany you can do that yourself. on foot. with a zipdisk.

Yep, that’s a mood.

seeing it capitalized in the post title didn’t help. 😆

Yeah… I had to read that 5 times before I brained it correctly.

Hi. Thanks for the welcoming.

I’ll be mostly hanging back, though. Only acting on reports and illegal content attacks. It’s an emergency lifeline that is good to have set up before an emergency happens.

Even though I am aware of sounding incredibly cliché and cringe: The more you try to force it, the less success you’ll have. Forget personality types. Forget ‘effort’. People seem to instinctlively know when you’re not having a good time or when you’re outside your comfort zone. So have a good time first, and look for a mate second.

(Also, I am aromantic, so my sack of advice is probably worth only the sack)
