I'm not familiar with what that really means, just jumping to an assumption about the intent of the paper that I think was not made clear in the title as is.

It would reduce my stress to imagine a world where my grandchildren didn't die from atrophy during the great power outage of 2079, where only the 10% of humanity that weren't reliant on exercise machines exercising their muscles for them, survived.

I can see how encouraging positive relationships could be beneficial for anyone with such a symptom, regardless of figuring out if it's a symptom of pathology (depending on the culture context.)

E.g. given character set a-z, 0: a 1: b 26: aa 27: ab

etc.

I probably had no idea what the interviewee was suggesting and tried and failed to explain my question any better.

I'm maybe not the only one who's experienced bits of 'beaming' with a long time friend or partner?

Perhaps "I have a pretty good idea of what X is thinking" is softer language than "I'm reading X's mind", but I can see how the experience of telepathy is not greatly distant from something that's normal for many people.

Spooky is the word.

This is not true of a lot of twitter ... but the short constraint I think is the only thing that really moves the needle in that direction on there.

He said a lot of things freely, and a lot of them are interpreted by many as racist or otherwise categorized as bigotry.

I can see the viewpoint that supporting Trump is much more about supporting bigotry than it is about supporting free speech, based on his words and his promises. I have more trouble seeing the viewpoint of the inverse, at this point still.

Would one need a safe word at all if we did?

I pay my taxes, but I consider it the least moral thing I do, for my own morality.

I look at paying taxes the same way I view my drug addicted friend that just needs a fix so he can make it til tomorrow. I don't like it, I'm enabling his problem, but I don't want him to get into a worse situation or die.

"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's" and whatnot though eh.

There are different types of contraceptives, and that we use the same word for all types is disingenuous and muddies the argument.

The day after pill is very different from a condom, and at least a little different from "the pill".

Twitter has expanded the boundaries of politically correct / acceptable speech, by enabling that brown nosing and echo chamber re-enforcement and not cracking down further on what's acceptable speech on their medium.

That power can be used to make massive amounts of money.
