What people think sociopathy is:

- manipulative

- homicidal

- overall a bad person

- crazy

- lacks emotions

What sociopathy really is:

- constant overwhelming boredom and understimulation, feeling of void, what often leads to performing harmful or stupid behaviors on others or self

- inability to regulate emotions properly which leads to impulsive mood swings

- often paranoia

- putting yourself at constant risk and danger to feel anything

- disgusting intrusive thoughts running through your head 24/7

- inability to manage a healthy relationship

- returning desire to cut off all the people who care about you (often in a harmful way)

- struggles to understand why people care and inability to return the same

- often SH

- inability to adapt and function in society due to fanatical nonconformism

- actual homicidal thoughts or tendencies

- depending on complexicity of the disorder trauma-based psychotic episodes may occur, these may trigger fatal self-destructive/destructive behaviors

- making impulsive decisions (large part of which turn out to be bad)

- actual manipulative behaviors often being a result of fear of loosing control over your life

- being prone to falling into addictions

- easily triggered aggression (verbal or physical)

- selective to none interest in understanding emotions and pain of other people/animals

- often depression

- meltdowns that can last for days or weeks

- subconscious isolation

- overly materialistic or trade-like understanding of any relationship, benefit oriented mindset

- feeling of being tired and disgustingly sick of everything and everyone, indifference and ignorance being a result of years of own suffering

- can be but not necessairly an entirely bad person, you don't choose to have a certain mental illness but you do choose to be a piece of shit or not.

ASPD as sociopathy is a spectrum and a complex trauma based disorder that varies depending on the individual but most importantly causes a lot of struggles and a lot of pain to the person experiencing it. It incredibly pisses me off how misunderstood and misinterpreted that disorder is, so here is a yap from someone who is actually diagnosed with it.

It’s always “support victims” until the victim has NPD, ASPD, or any other demonized personality disorder

how i look at the boy that is super depressed and wrapped up in his own self loathing:

( he is my next victim. )

[youlookkindadead]

i've seen quite a bit of confusion about this, so let me attempt to clear things up :

empathy is the ability to feel somebody's emotions as though they are affecting you personally. for example, somebody tells you "my dog died last night!" -> you now feel as though you've lost a pet personally -> you feel grief and sadness just like the other person. not everyone has empathy. it's a trait some people develop and others don't. some have high empathy, some have low empathy, some (like me) have none.

sympathy is the ability to understand and care about somebody else's struggles, even if you don't feel them yourself. so, somebody tells you their dog died -> you realize how this affects them emotionally -> you care about this person, and are upset that they are suffering. not everyone has sympathy either! it's a scale, just like empathy.

compassion is doing something to relieve another person's suffering or make them feel better. somebody tells you their dog died -> you don't want them to remain upset -> you come up with ways to help them feel better, like offering comfort and distractions, or other forms of support. compassion is a learned trait, not something you can be born with like empathy or sympathy. anyone can learn to be compassionate, although some may struggle more with it than others; it's a skill, just like anything else.

however, none of these are required to be a good person. that's a choice you make on your own accord. i hope this clears things up!

Every relationship is a parasocial relationship. It's a matter of degree, not kind. Just like a map-territory problem.

Your relationship to anyone is based on assumptions and mental models of the other person. We don’t interact with people directly. We interact with our internal representation of them.

Every relationship is a hallucination shaped by feedback. The more accurate the feedback loop, the healthier the illusion.

Over researching the fuck out of everything because I care too much about the truth. This is not a flex, this is not a great quality. I maybe positively influence three people at most when I could be ignoring everything and drawing.

[entomologist-of-abraham]

Oh fun! Now I've got a throwaway account that is a variation of my blog name that threw hate my way and called me a Nazi. So you know what that means? It's time for more forensic entomology!

This time we're going to cover insect development.

In a previous post I went over the terms PMI, min/maxPMI, and ToC and alluded to how insects are used to calculate these intervals.

But what allows us to do that?

First we have to understand the insect lifecycle. In this case we're specifically looking at true flies (Diptera) belonging to the Family Calliphoridae. These are commonly known as blow flies and bottle flies, and are the most common visitors at a corpse with the most utility. They use a corpse as a substrate to lay their eggs (oviposition) which then hatch and go through their larval stages until they leave the body to pupate and eventually emerge as adults.

Blow fly larvae typically go through three larval stages that we call instars. During the third instar they will eventually stop feeding and migrate away from the body or underneath it to find a safe place to pupate (though if there are no crevices or hiding places it'll just be right out in the open). Every stage has a variable amount of time that the insect spends in it, and it's this variability that we as forensic entomologist use to determine our intervals.

What does this mean? (I hear you ask)

You see, insects are poikilothermic. Meaning, their body temperature is determined by the environment that they are in and the changes that they experience. This, in turn, impacts the developmental rate of the insect.

Two individuals of the same species from the same region experiencing different temperatures will develop at different rates.

An insect experiencing high temperature one day and extreme lows the next will have their development accelerated and then slowed down.

An insect experiencing the same constant temperature will therefore develop at a constant rate.

Now, it's important to understand that because insects do not develop at a steady and consistent pace due to a stable internal temperature that we use a term called Degree Days/Hours (DD/H) to define the developmental time they experience. We then take each DD/H and add them in a calculation called Accumulated Degree Days/Hours. This gives us the total time it took to develop from egg to the stage we are looking at.

Fun fact; this formula and terminology is originally from Agricultural Entomology where it was used to determine when pest species would emerge, their life cycle, and to determine when the best time to apply control methods would be.

However, in forensics we're not interested in control, but when those eggs were initially oviposited onto the corpse. We need to know what we call a base, or baseline, temperature as a frame of reference for our ADD/H calculations. This base temperature is produced experimentally.

Many experiments have been done, and continue to be done, where we take eggs from X species and put them into containers with a food substrate, usually beef liver, and a pupation substrate, such as sand, and then place said experimental unit into a temperature chamber set to a constant temperature. Depending on the parameters of the experiment, and what the researcher is interested in, we can then determine how much time it takes to get from egg -> 1st instar -> 2nd instar -> 3rd instar -> pupae -> adult. No stage has the same amount of developmental time it requires to move on to the next, with 3rd and pupa being the longest stages in general.

Typically we have multiple temperature chambers set to different temps so as to determine what the rate is across a broad spectrum. It's not unusual to see a study for 20C, 22C, 24C, 26C, 28C, and 30C. Some studies go down to 10C and might use 5 degree intervals, but this is, again, dependent on the parameters of the experiment and even what species they are studying.

Regardless, we end up with a dataset which we can then use in our ADD/H calculation because we now have a stable constant temperature and know how many degree days/hours it takes to go through the life cycle at said temp. Then, when we are called in to look at insect evidence we use the environmental temperature and average it. We then find the dataset for the species we are looking at and the developmental data at the closest temp to that environmental average and proceed with our calculations.

How do we do those calculations though? How do we collect evidence? What does the end result even look like? Find out next time on Forensic Entomology Ball Z *Guitar riff*

one of my favorite and most interesting classes ive taken has been Forensics. but its also been a curse knowing certain crime scene things that most ppl dont, but think they do, bc of the CSI Effect

like no u cant be suspected of a crime if u donate ur hair for a wig and that person wearing ur wig commits a crime. the dna from hair is only in the hair follicle, which is the only ‘living’ part of ur hair, everything else is dead and doesnt contain useable dna evidence. especially when u cut ur hair, and its also not attached when ur hair naturally falls out, bc the follicle connected to it gets weaker so the hair can disconnect, and the follicle stays under the skin. so its unlikely to be in a wig unless u carefully ripped each piece of hair out of ur head piece by piece

but it takes some willpower to not say all of that when someone brings up the topic of hair in a crime scene lol

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

[bl0w-m3]

[the-sun-system]

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

[bununiii]

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.

Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.

“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.

If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.

If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.

Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.
