i love how you bring up sites where trolls and bigots congregate to make memes and spread misinformation to marginalize communities as a valid source.

it’s like saying “i read on the news about so and so” and then citing some roadside graffiti.

that’s some next-level delusion you got going on there.

Using the wrong terminology does attract unwanted attention to the wrong group though, because now a lot of people are saying “kill all pedophiles!” and that definition somehow also extends to the non-offending ones you mentioned. Those people don’t deserve all that fire for a paraphilic disorder they didn’t choose and are still actively in control over.

There really isn’t a way to protect the non-offenders from this outrage other than a collective effort to clarify our terminology. I’ve been using “rapist” instead: it’s short, gets the point across, and is accurate.

“speculum” and “soup” belonging in the same sentence made me howl

the empire state building one was the most frustrating. luckily it’s near the end of the game.

i almost gave up on it.

then i just decided to talk to it in cantonese and that worked.

one log makes planks, two planks stacked on top of each other makes sticks, then diamond pickaxe crafting recipe you can google lol.

ChatGPT-generated images are getting yellower by the day LOL

“What programming language should I use to build X” does not belong in AskLemmy, because that’s not the format of question that AskLemmy is for.

On the other hand, “What programming languages do you guys use” does belong in AskLemmy.

the occasional software developer post counts as “random stuff”, don’t you think?

hong konger here! the beef balls certainly taste better than they look; they’re very abundant here as a hotpot ingredient. idk about the sausage, but it looks like a standard chicken frank.

Gender incongruence may be in the same book now, but being in the book does not necessarily mean it is a disorder (e.g. paraphilia). In fact, in DSM-5, gender incongruence (they call it gender dysphoria) was actually renamed from “gender identity disorder” to avoid the word “disorder”.

DSM-5 defines a paraphilic disorder as “a paraphilia that brings distress, or when satisfied, brings harm to self or others” (paraphrased). I think pedophilia fits that description, because “if satisfied”, that’s what we’d consider “bringing harm to others”. Perhaps the ICD has a different definition?

I mean, I didn’t set the standards or write the books. All of these things have way too much complexity to properly categorize in the ever-shifting standards of society in different geographic and cultural regions, so of course different countries and different experts would treat these things differently. That also means what counts as a “mental disorder” can vary wildly from region to region. I daresay this is a universe where you and I are both right on the matter!

I’m not sure about the criterion differences between the ICD and DSM-5, and I for sure do not know enough to be an authority on the matter.

To be fair, paraphilias were listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as disorders before that definition was moved in DSM-5 to paraphilic disorder to be distinct from paraphilia (no longer de facto a disorder).

Anyway, pedophilia is a paraphilic disorder, which makes it a paraphilia and a mental disorder!

There’s so many different types of boba “balls”, and even the “same” ones have different textures and flavours depending on the boba shop you buy from!

Many boba shops (at least the ones here in HK) also offer an incredible selection of different things you can have in your drink in place of just tapioca pearls, stuff like grass jelly, aloe vera, agar jelly, basil seeds, red beans, pudding, and the list goes on.

I’m sure you’ll be able to find something from boba shops that tickles your fancy, even if it’s just fruit tea with coconut jelly chunks.

my two dogs didn’t really care at all. 4th of july never affected them.
