This might sound pedantic, but actually makes a big difference, mentally.

Introvert refers more to how you mentally recharge, rather than interactions. An introvert requires time alone to recharge, an extrovert needs time around people. Your more likely socially anxious, and possibly mentally underdeveloped for socialising.

By locking down where the problem actually is, it helps you figure out how to counter it. Social anxiety is quite common, with viable treatment methods. Social skills are learnt. You get them by practice. It's a problem that is common for autistics, so the info from those corners of the internet could be helpful, even if you aren't autistic.

The line before is also great. They suspect. They hope they are wrong, but they suspect, and have to ask.

Things like this are often a protest by the builders against the architect. They spot a problem with the design, try and tell them and get shouted at. They then build it to the design, knowing it's stupid, so the architect has to swallow the cost of fixing it.

It was first found in monkeys, but actually originated in rodents. It should technically be rodentpox.

Also, racists and homophobes used it to create stigma against gay men. In was/is particularly prevalent in that group. There were rumours that you caught it from sex with monkeys.

Basically it was renamed to pull the teeth of a nasty and insulting use, and to break a misunderstanding on its source.

It even explains why the agents can jump between people. They are already running on their brains.

Superhot is emulating accelerated thinking. It's not that time speeds up as you move, but that your thinking speeds up when you don't.

Plot SPOILERGiven the plot is about an AI slowly hijacking your brain/mind, this makes complete sense.

Physics wise, this is the reverse of what would happen. Hypothetically, if you reduced the speed of light to an extremely low value, the opposite effect would occur. Time would move slower as you moved. Standing still would give maximum apparent time speed, while moving fast would slow your perception. It would also cause significant distortion to your perception, due to length compression. Not to mention how much it would screw up your body (what the hell does blood do, when time is passing slower in your arm than your torso?!?).

Which app do you use for that?

That's executive functioning failure. It's common with ADHD (which is strongly comorbid with Autism) but not unique to it.

Basically, the part of your brain dealing with task focus is either asleep or exhausted. At that point, you are running on pure impulsiveness.

If you get locked in, the best bet is to stop banging your head against a brick wall. Stop trying to do the big task, that is stressing you. Instead aim for a small, neutral or positive task to lock on to. E.g. throwing together a sandwich, or going to the loo, rather than "I REALLY need to get my taxes done!" It's a far from perfect method (it still fails often), but it does help kickstart you back to higher brain thinking.

I'm guessing that the computer randomises the answer list, to limit cheating. The rest writer was likely cursing it too.

The observations are direct. LRDs are thought to be either clusters of stars or a black hole. The spin is such that it is incompatible with a cluster of stars.

The maths is non-trivial, so needs to be confirmed by others.

As for the primordial part. Black holes are thought to form 1 of 2 ways. Slow build up, in the core of a galaxy, or crushed together by the pressures just after the big bang. This object has a galaxy too small, and too young, to explain it's size by slow growth. This implies that the galaxy formed around the hole, not vice versa.

This all seems pretty direct to me.

Autism and ADHD are highly layered with maladaptations. You get a domino effect occuring, with the obvious symptoms down the chain. Other conditions can function similarly, and pull in the same maladaptations.

It's also worth noting that ADHD and autism are spectrums. It's possible to have mild tendencies that don't technically qualify. When other conditions cause disruptions, the symptoms can get more pronounced, or lead to additional maladaptations.

I know that good cops, in the UK apparently love the cameras etc. They make their job a lot simpler. It also lets them filter out bad officers. They make everyone's life harder, and so they want them either gone, or retrained.
