  • I agree with most of what you’re saying, but the way you’re presenting it is almost confrontational.

    True, self-diagnostic in a strict sense isn’t a thing, but as you point out after, a collection of symptoms can speak to one’s experience. Finding this insight, in my case, was an eye opening moment because so many things in my past and in my day to day suddenly started to make sense.

    Coming to terms with this realization is especially useful for people who have strong negative views on mental health issues, and driving people to “self-diagnostic”, as in recognizing that they may be neuro divergent, is a worthy effort.

    It doesn’t replace actual professional help and diagnosis, but it’s a first step that needs to be encouraged.




  • People here be discussing the wrong thing, or am I the only one thinking that patenting a roll of paper is incredibly stupid?

    It’s a damn roll of paper. How much of a genius do you have to be to come up with that? People have been doing it for millennia, the only difference is that it used to be so expensive that no one would think of whipping their butts with it.














  • They cannot.

    EU safety rules specifically forbid sharp edges (kudos to the visionary who thought about including that one…).

    Additionally, it’s weight is absolutely ridiculous, to the point that you cannot drive it with a standard B licence (you need at least C1, which requires specific classes and written + driving exams).

    Not to mention, many streets simply cannot accommodate a car so large, and there’s zero parking space for such a monstrosity in most city centers…

    Edit: actually I’m not sure if Iceland included these specific EU rules, so maybe they can actually sell it there?..
