Interesting thing to take away here.
BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

Next step, stopping domestic violence and child abuse by having cameras in every home.

Day 2 of #HooklandChristmasTree decoration. We gently take the Master of Moss from box. He’s old and fragile, made from twig, clay and clumps of Moss gathered on Barrowcross. We find him a respectful place on the tree and hope he sleeps the season. His waking would be terrible

Anyway, I’m probably going to take my own wire clippers into work because all the school ones are what are technically termed ‘shite’.

I mean ‘logically’ they should also ban lesbians because they might harass the straight girls?
Transphobia is not just morally fucking wrong, but also logically wrong.

‘Russell Group’ is just a branding exercise. It was dreamt up by the snobs at those universities who wanted to get more undergrad’s cash.
Then sucking the right bollock of Farage is just them continuing to be conniving arseholes.

Yeah, I saw this post, along with other similar ones at all levels of education.
And I will not stop berating the fuck out of teachers who use it.
My standard start is “Ask ChatGPT why it hallucinates and then why science teachers shouldn’t use it!”

"Use ChatGPT as a source" and "AI isn't perfect so just double check it" are two mutually exclusive statements that exist in this person's head without conflict only because there are no other thoughts in there, giving these two plenty of space

Dragonmeet : fancied looking for a wooden DM screen. Saw one (nice looking to be fair) but it was £290.
I reckon there is a market for plain marine plywood DM screens, built in a modular way and prime for customisation. More of a budget price
Oh. I now have a laser cutter apropos of nothing.

Went to Dragonmeet.
Mixture of pain and… I dunno ‘mental/autistic brain temperament’, means I really should have stayed at home.
So it goes.
I just don’t really like being around humans any more. 🤷♂️

What is also fucking crazy is a *carer*, someone who does useful work, works 50 hours a week and yet still has to rely on in-work benefits. And will end up paying more tax, while the ultra rich, who do no useful work, will continue to hoard it all.
This started pretty much immediately, I have already heard several examples, as well as people looking to withdraw change of conditions applications and decideling not to apply. Families will be left destitute

They were introduced in 2000 if I remember correctly, certainly not in 86!
