The creator of the DSM-IV NPD diagnosis is on record as saying he doesn’t have NPD. There’s a lot of professional disagreement, both over whether he has it, and whether it’s appropriate for doctors to say a celebrity has a disorder. It’s called the Goldwater rule. A lot of doctors have broken the Goldwater rule to spout their uneducated opinions, but if you look at NPD specialists, they’ll generally have much more professional integrity than the generalists because they’re aware of the stigma their patients face, and they can clearly see Trump doesn’t have it.

Yeah, NPD is an actual disability and causes great suffering and social impairment to the patient.

That’s why Trump doesn’t have NPD. He’s not suffering. He’s not impaired.

Pretty narcissistic of you to decide mental health diagnoses are for your personal use as insults.

You want to be intimate with her or not?

No, not really. I’m asexual. I don’t want to do anything with her, I just think she looks nice. Being friends with her would be nice, I guess, but not if I’m going to make her uncomfortable.

The relationship of the revolutionary workers’ party to the petty-bourgeois democrats is this: it cooperates with them against the party which they aim to overthrow; it opposes them wherever they wish to secure their own position.

the workers, and above all the League, must work for the creation of an independent organization of the workers’ party, both secret and open, and alongside the official democrats

Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention.

I wonder if people trust ChatGPT more or less than an international celebrity who is also their best friend.

Yeah, the gooner weeb likes the weeb game with the suicidal children, so complaining about a blinding joke is a bit petty

Nice question dodge

Are you angry on your own behalf or on the other person’s? That is to say, are you angry that the explanation that helps someone else appreciate the joke will lessen your own appreciation? Or are you worried they won’t appreciate the joke they don’t understand after they understand it?

Why does other people asking to understand a joke make you angry?

Oh, so your joke about us all being autistic was just internalised prejudice, got it

The person complaining about the blinding joke is a gooner weeb so this is a classic case of people in glass houses throwing stones.

Hot take: allism is a social disability and right here we have a perfect example of an allistic person complaining that they don’t want a joke to be explained because their allism doesn’t like clear communication. Allistic people feel an innate need to obfuscate communication because their brains need the exercise of deciphering hidden codes in everything.

Batman has mad PTSD and probably a personality disorder tbh.

A corporation would just buy the turbine. Superman absolutely should laser supervillains, starting with his bald nemesis Jeff Bezos. It’s not a coincidence that in the 2010s Lex was redesigned to look like Zuckerberg, and in the new movie he’s a gamer (he probably plays Path of Exile)

Because he’s still a billionaire
