It's obvious that you mean the same, but "self-diagnosing" internet content has been rising a lot, as humans we tend to see patterns quickly and video's like that one simplify actual medical conditions into shortform video content, convincing people just watching these clips can diagnose anything. It doesn't help your video has an obvious anti-science agenda either.
Okay fine, the problem with self-diagnosis goes further than personal experience. It is about how much value you put on a medical diagnosis and having respect for the medical field for figuring out what constitutes that diagnosis. Autism specifically is a very broad condition, with even the medical field disagreeing on what puts you on the spectrum. But even they will argue the importance of a medical evaluation, which by definition has changed over time, and will change, so I'm not talking about giving anyone a stamp, but rather respecting professionals who dedicate lifetimes to their research by not using terms which they work so hard to define.
A lot of people who have autism aren't diagnosed properly, which is genuinely infuriating. Which is why there is so much value in spreading information which could help anyone, especially for people who don't have the resources. But that information could apply to anyone or anything, and because of the broad nature of autism there aren't any "10 signs which show you have autism", because there are people who will actually find themselves having those 10 signs who do not have any neurodivergence of any kind. But that person will still find value in what those 10 signs tell about them and about how other people deal with that.
You have found value in every aspect of what it means to have autism, you have used those resources to help youself in ways you didn't know was possible. That is genuinely heartwarming, and I am not here to tell you you are wrong. What I'm saying is there are a lot of people suffering but also working on bettering the lives of everyone with autism, and self-diagnosing devalues both of those people.
If I were you, I think I would describe myself as having similar personality traits as a person with autism. But not actually having autism.
Those aren't Spotify screenshots? I am very impressed.
your assumption is that people self-diagnosing is not suffering that condition
Definitely not, I am assuming a lot of people will be certain they have a condition they do not have. Which is very disrespectful.
Again, it's a great thing so much information is available to all of us, it's a great thing that people who are suffering find the information they need to get help. But supporting self-diagnosis invalidates decades of medical professionals. Are they always right? No. Do they have all the answers? No. Can professionals make mistakes? Yes. So if you know all that, how can you assume you are making the right diagnosis? Arrogance, that's how.
Self-diagnosing is a very dangerous game, however spreading information on what a condition is like can be very helpful though, but people actually going around and telling people they have self-diagnosed OCD, autism, aspergers is absolutely ridiculous. "Self-diagnosing" in this video is spreading the belief you can actually, medically diagnose yourself, which is bonkers.
The way I see it, recognising certain behavioural traits which could be explained by a condition, is an important thing. Spreading factual information about them, equally as important. But actual, serious self-diagnosis is not only disrespectful to anyone actually suffering from the condition, but also incredibly narcissistic, arrogant and ignorant thing to do.
This is just spreading anti-science propaganda, which shouldn't be welcome here.
Holy shit put that on a t-shirt
Nothing warranted your hostility? Anyway, the post (not the comment obviously) is asking how much impact coins have on the game. Answer? A lot, the exact number is not known but general consensus is 0.5-1% per coin, which on an average laptime of 35 seconds, could save you 1.7-3.5 seconds per lap. If you've ever played a racing game, that is the very definition of dramatic, grinding some time trails will even reveal that fact to you.
If you still haven't noticed the dramatic difference 10 coins makes even in multiplayer, that's a skill issue on your side.
And then maybe, if you get good, you'll notice some coins have less importance than others, but in general go for the coins, they will help you gather momentum and dramatically increase your chance of winning.
Time trials are not the same as head-to-head racing
Time trail just demonstrates the effect for you if you look at the splits. Having 10 coins is a major advantage and will increase your chances of, grabbing the lead and staying first. Every time you have a larger amount of coins will ensure that even if you get hit, you still have more coins than the person behind you. Literally being the difference between getting an overtake opportunity again or falling further behind.
are the people who keep hold of 10 coins in multiplayer games always the ones who win?
That is a very different question from your post, Mariokart is an arcade racer with a lot of RNG, no-one can guarantee a win with that much RNG. What you can do is increase your chances dramatically.
There is no need to argue, go into time trail, complete a track twice. Once with coins and once without and you'll notice a very significant difference (depending on skill ofcourse). Trying to go for records and missing one coin early on just kills your chances. I cant quantity how much though, but it's really significant.
Try it on a wrap with some avocado, pasta, tofu, roasted pine nuts and vegetables to taste!
The best shot I've ever seen of an F1 lap, between that straight line race with Coulthard, that dry lap with Lawson and that wet lap from Verstappen, I'm floored!
