"If the human brain (mind) was simple enough for us to understand it, we would be too dumb to understand it". I don't know who said it but my point is that I cannot imagine any health care pathology to be so simply one dimensional that it'll fit on a continuum.

Perhaps it helps to understand that a spectrum can be comprised of a cluster of continua: a possibility space of which any subset can be observed. Like each colour in the light spectrum. The continuum notion in that case can refer to its brightness. Same in the case of emotions. We don't just experience one emotion at any given time although there's a prominent one and others might be subdued. How we cluster certain aspects, such as traits in mental health as well as the threshold to diagnose anyone is of course arbitrary. Severities in presentations are perhaps seen as a continuum, but the underlying structure that aids in defining it, is a spectrum.

I feel like people confuse the term spectrum with the term continuum. Fading from black to white through gray is a continuum. Rainbow colours are a spectrum. In mental health, most conditions have no aetiology - or it is not considered, and the condition is described or defined by signs and symptoms, and not something like a bloodtest. The weight of each of these signs and symptoms is what makes up the spectrum. When someone is on the spectrum of whatever condition, it means the sum of those weights exceed a value that causes some detriment to the individuals quality of life. Maybe I'm spliting hairs but I thought to share my understanding.

What break with Moskow? Arms deal means metal can be purchased by European countries for the war in Ukraine. The sanctions are threatened - not implemented. I cannot see how Putin could have it better without sitting in the white house himself.

There's a lot of overlap in experiences of folks with different mental conditions. Whilst the root cause is different with a neurodiverse brain or mood disorders or personality disorders they might lead to similar experiences. The question becomes how much is it impacing someone's life or how well can those behaviours stemming from these experiences be integrated. There's also the fact that self-awareness might be picking up on those experiences better in one group compared to others.

Specific yes, but not oddly: this is paraphrasing from an actual testimony of victims.

Wouldn't it be nice if the strength of relieve following such a task would outweigh the level of anxiety prior? At least that’s how it is for me. Happy for you that you have it scratched of your task list.

Depends what matters in that context. If it's just the facts, then just quote them if you can. If you must, for whatever reason, point it out you just paraphrase their statement coupled with the the facts, like for example "You stated this thing happened, however we found the other thing to have occurred". Don't explicitly say that they lied, leave room for interpretation, perhaps there was a mistake.

In my opinion: imagine storing bunch of fruit and vegetables into a large skip and let it sit for months in hot sunlight. The smell is like the result. The amalgamation of strong plant based fermentation is so strong the nose associates it with cheese or garbage. The texture, again in my opinion is the only pleasant part of it; soft and creamy, and the flavour isn't much better than the smell, albeit a bit sweeter.

German, as well as other germanic languages aside from English actually use verb second structure. True, that the main part sits at the end if there is an auxiliary verb. Example word for word translation would be: Tomorrow go I to school. Or Yesterday have I cake eaten. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V2_word_order

I find this monologue amazing as it reveals so much about someone with narcissistic personality only that the character has more self awareness than the typical narcissist.

What happens if you replace the last break in main() with exit()?
