I guessed that from context and was just making fun of it. Writing it that way is definitely confusing and shouldn’t be done. "mm" is internationally recognized as "millimeters". In financial papers, sometimes, Roman numerals "MM" are used to indicate millions, but then it should strictly be capitalized. In my opinion, for general use, number followed by a single "m" conveys the idea best ($40m), and followed by "k" for thousand ($40k). Use capitals for more formal settings ($40M and $40K).

Haven't played 6, but at this point I expect them to add a quick ending scenario in every sequel.

FC5 also has the option to finish the game in a couple of minutes if you do what the antagonist asks. Don't remember what exactly it was, leave with your team, I believe.

I wouldn't consider 1, 2 and 3 asymmetric, they are just patterns.

Can you make someone just not sexually interested in something they find arousing?

No, I can't. Doesn't mean that we (as a society) shouldn't be working on finding ways to do it or finding alternative solutions. And it's necessary to acknowledge that what we have now is not good enough.

those therapies also tended to involve some form of harm

They probably did. But nobody here is claiming those were good or helping the patients either.

Cutting off their testicles and straight up executing them would also reduce the offending rates. Even more effectively than chemical castration, I'm sure. But we wouldn't be calling that helping the offender, would we? And the comment above was specifically talking about helping them.
What we have now is more of a best middle ground between the amount of damage caused to the patient and safety guarantees for the society. We obviously prioritize safety for the society, but we should be striving for less damage to the patient, too.

Same, I can't read more than a couple of pages of a textbook. But I'll listen to spoken information very intently for hours on end (with an occasional break). Is that common with ADHD?
