I have a theory that a large proportion of metal fans are neurodivergent. It's the only explanation for why we have a full fucking taxonomy to explain our hobby.

Finntroll = metal - black - folk - fantasy - troll

Nekrogoblikon = metal - death - melodic - fantasy - goblin

Slayer = metal - death - thrash - old man

I don't know what a kickback is in this context. . Pull up means showing up. Doing a solid means a big favor.

It's mostly 90s slang.

Edit: low-key means subtly

Your analogy is wrong.

Here's a silly example to highlight why.

Let's both stand together on the equator. You walk forward all the way around the earth and stop five feet behind me. You claim that it'll take me just as much energy to meet you there. But it doesn't, I just turn around and walk five feet.

Quantum computers, when when brute forcing, do it differently. They take a different path. That's why they're so much better at it.

"Medical" doctor. You've moved the goal posts.

Computer engineer. Software engineer. Train engineer. The qualifier is what let's you differentiate. Your claim is that the generic term only covers a subset of how people use the word.

guns are the problem but that would be very naive.

Meth isn't the problem. The real problem is lack of dopamine that causes people to seek pleasure.

A bad diet doesn't cause obesity. It's the person's mental state that causes them to seek out food as comfort.

The only problem with this viewpoint is that people are inherently fucking crazy and you'll never ever fix that. So you need to restrict the things that allow them to hurt other people with their crazy. And when they're going to hurt themselves with their crazy, you do your best to help coach and guide and support them.

The top is just a relationship. I expect my wife to do all that for me too. And my kids. And my parents. And my friends.

Except for "honor". My understanding of honor is that it's not something you do to a person. It's how you act yourself. But I was raised by Klingons.

My doctorate of English doesn't imply that either. Still have a doctorate. Still a doctor.
