A chef would need a large scale pot though.

Turn a spotlight on them and ask them if they think there might be any underlying reason they want to post in the thread.

That's certainly fair. I was trying to use it more broadly, as people with ADHD or dyslexia can still hyperfocus on trains, boats and plains too.

But I did just outright forget that OCD can be considered neurodivergence instead of mental illness, in part because I've seen many people with OCD in my work who are on the mental illness end, the "I can't sleep because I need to flip switches in a certain pattern or else my family will die" situations.

Edit: Of course how much of mental illness is neurodivergence and how much is a separate thing I understand is also a contentious debate. Is it all? none? Specific things like bipolar or schizophrenia? Personality disorders? Etc

Yeah you're right, I could have phrased that better. OCD can be both mental illness and/or neurodivergence. What I'm saying is what if it was the former, causing significant psychological distress from the obsession and compulsions.

It might not have been ~~neurodivergence~~ Autism (or it alone). If he had OCD, the prospects of ships not returning might have caused significant distress (obsession) and going to check gives relief (compulsion).

I'm more interested how he was "cured".

Kind of funny/sad how in Fallout 4 every single one of your companions who is not Danse is like "The Brotherhood of Steel are the worst". Every interaction with the Brotherhood of Steel they're like "We're the worst and we love to totally eat shit and lose". Literally there's two plotlines about BoS teams arriving in the Commonwealth to immediately eat shit and get almost the whole party wiped out, in Danse and Brandis' teams. Once they arrive their vertibirds start falling out of the sky every short walk you talk, trying to engage some mutants or raiders.

The reaction from a majority/plurality of the fanbase? "Ad victoriam brother! the Brotherhood are the best!"

I have never had to use a dating app yet I have the delusion I’d be really good at them in another life.

I think it's the fact the election coverage goes on for so long. Like the UK and France etc in the news recently can call, hold an election and install a new government in a couple of months.

The Jake Flores method?

Going to stick with Daoism's retrograde orgasms and cunnilingus.

I think that tolerance breaks for masturbating are a good thing. It's a shame that NoFap and Semen Retention are things, because it's at a basic level good advice that they turned up to 11 and made a weirdo quasi religion.
