Every new year’s resolution of his: “reset to default settings”.

Why do I doubt that "neurotypical" label

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 106 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, if this is built through the social process of "Ha dude, this would be so cool, tell me, what should I add?" I think it's perfectly plausible.

[–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago

The order he put it in certainly seems to hint at that process in action

found the factory settings guy

Assuming all of his traits listed are "default" is part of the problem

(I'm sorry, I know it's a joke and I do think it's quite funny but I feel like I have to bring this up as a disclaimer)

In the context of miiis, No chance in hell Nintendo makes miis queer by default, THAT'S the real problem here =P

How do I mass factory reboot the entire planet? Asking for an alien friend from outer space

Believe what is real? The interaction in the screen shot or the profile of the person in the screenshot?

I don't have a reason to doubt the interaction being genuine, and the profile screenshot also seems like a genuine profile from someone being funny.

And tbh, this seems like the nicest possible way to make fun of Tumblr culture

[–] lorty@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 years ago

It feels like they are just having fun.

[–] Sidhean@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Sure, all digital records are falsifiable. But everything here seems.. normal. I'm not sure what you mean? It's not like they're claiming their school made them shit in a sandbox or anything. Not trying to be antagonistic, I just don't see anything here that screams "this is an outright lie" or even "this is implausible"

As a queer person, for me at least I find the 'default' language pretty funny. I think it could just as easily be seen as acknowledgement of privilege as the other way around

I was neurodivergent all this time. It's just people expressed it as there's something odd about that little boy.

The thing is, the more you explore all those microlabels, the more you find things that you're into, which wouldn’t have been explored if you're socially obligated to conform to a standard vanilla norm. Dark identity. (As in dark matter, not who the man is in the dark though there sometimes is that.)

For me, the gateway was major depression. I did a lot of deep diving to understand why I so readily despair even when outlooks appeared to be okay (though on national and global levels there are good justifications for dispair, but that's a different rant) In finding out why I'm so conditioned to Tragic Vampire Romance Island, I find out all my microidentities and kinks along the way.

It's "extra", not "extro". They're "extra-terrestrials", not "extro-terrestrials". Extro is not a latin word, extra is.

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If you're talking of extrovert then you're wrong, extrovert is a correct spelling of the word.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

No, extravert is the correct psychological nomenclature. Extraversion. Extroversion was not a thing until everyone got it wrong and it had to be shoved into dictionaries. Doesn't change a thing, "extro" is not a word. "Intro" on the other hand, is. As in "introvert".

What, do mutants have extro-sensory perception now, too? Is there extroneous information? Extrovehicular? Extrovagance? Extrovaganza?

"Extraversion" is correct.

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry bud, it's a word exactly because "everyone got it wrong and it had to be shoved into dictionaries". Languages and the words they contain aren't static, they evolve over time based on how people use them.

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No no, language as it existed at the time I learned it is the FOREVER AND ONLY CORRECT WAY. -OP, probably.

[–] Leafhouse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Theyre like the linguistic version of religious nutjobs. Semantics dont matter, they just want you to live your life according to a stern set of rules with no flexibility. Submit or burn in hell.

[–] androogee@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

In the 90s there was an explosion of people desperate to "correct" every usage of the word 'irony.'

Nevermind that one of the definitions is just an "incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs."

Any outcome that's different from what you expected meets the definition of 'ironic.' That's all you need.

You probably shouldn't expect clear weather just because it's your wedding day. But if you do, and it rains, it's fuckin ironic.

But to this day, fools fall all over themselves to chirp up anytime Alanis Morisette comes on the radio.

The allure of the appearance of superiority is strong. We're all vulnerable to it, or most of us.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

A quick search on Google scholar for "extravert" and "extrovert" both yield results with hundreds of citations so I think both are clearly acceptable.

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Oof, shove a bat up your ass! Do governments perform extrojudicial killings? Do we extrodite prisoners, and extropolate data, too?

Extra means "without" or "outside". Extro has no definition, because it's not a word. It is in opposition to "intro" which is also, GASP, a latin word, meaning "within", or "inside". How is this hard to understand? God I hate throngs of people being wrong at the same time.

"Extrovert" was introduced BECAUSE uneducated people used the wrong word so much they had to.

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or English comes from a broad range of roots, not just Latin, and you have a hard time admitting when you were wrong!

Not to mention you already conceded that it’s the current correct form of the word, and if you think language doesn’t change over time due to usage then you’re doubly ignorant.

[–] force@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It gives me so much joy seeing a Lemmy thread collectively shit on a completely bad take on linguistics

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

Extrovert" was introduced BECAUSE uneducated people used the wrong word so much they had to.

Boy, wait til you learn about literally every word in the English language (another example of a word changing due to use)

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Jung used "extra" and "intro", case closed. Latin for "turning outside" and "turning inside".

...though Jung also didn't mean extraversion as synonymous with "sociable" or introversion with "needs to refill their tank" or whatnot, but "cognition primarily concerned with the object as opposed to the subject or the other way around".

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a Germanic word, not a Latin word. It's based on the German word extravert but it is absolutely spelled extrovert in English since about 1918.

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Jung was Swiss that doesn't make extravert any less Latin. German would be "auswärts gerichtet" vs. "einwärts gerichtet".

alright then buddy

extravert is reserved for Tony Hawk and the likes, like the guy who did a 1440 on the super ramp.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's an Albany expression.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well Seymour, you are an odd fellow. Although I must say, you extro a good vert

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's what I have been saying all along!

[–] Sidhean@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

(Excepting extra-verted people) There isn't anywhere that I see an "extro" that should be an "extra". Any chance you could point it out?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

extrovert

I am on a crusade since about twenty years about this, and the war, well, it's not going well....

[–] force@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

because you're wrong, lol, prescriptivism is just anti-linguistics. linguistics is desctiptive and based on usage

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (13 children)

And the feeling of love is "just a bunch of chemical interactions" too, right?

Edit: Oh, and by the way

Why is extrovert sometimes spelled extravert?

Carl Jung based the two terms on Latin, in which "extra" means outside and "intro" means inside. A psychologist named Phyllis Blanchard later changed the spelling of the term in a paper, which played a role in the extrovert spelling becoming the predominant form.

Today, the extravert spelling is still widely used in psychology, while the extrovert spelling remains more common in popular usage.

Kaufman S. The difference between extraversion and extroversion. Scientific American.

See, that's not "lankuake cheinkcsh", that's degradation of language because Phyllis got it wrong, and now everyone is.

You ever hear of the lone Japanese soldiers scattered across islands that never got the news WW2 was over?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's my uncle!

What others have already said, but just know that I forgive you for thinking that extroverts are extra 😝
