Would you ever use the verb "be" in a Moo so that it was an action attached to an object?

(Asking because I'm writing an Esperanto parser as a demo and finding the direct object and indirect object (or the things that are pseudo direct objects etc) after "estu" can't just look for an -on ending and needs a special case of rules, probably including a list of every preposition in the language so as to differentiate the pseudo-indirect object if there is one.)

(Sorry for asking in English.)

Estu smurfo
Estu Ĉapelfungo

Estu smurfo kun paĉjo

("Be a smurf with daddy" is a totally normal thing to want to do in cyberspace.)

I was informally (mis)diagnosed as "probably psychopathic" by my supervisor when I did my Social Psychology postgraduate at the University of Leicester psychiatric teaching hospital back in 1989. Now I realise that I was really diagnosed with adult autism by a psychologist who didn't have the tools to differentiate.

It's interesting because it started me on my path to computerising the psychiatric investigation part of the DSM (well, initially Hare PCL) evaluation for my Master's degree. The psychometric question-and-answer model and demo I came up with had me firmly psychopathic in PCL's diagnostic terms, whereas these days it would be easily diagnosed as autism.

I went on to expand the idea from psychometrics, to behaviour analysis in virtual worlds, which I figured would be a better capture than psychometric questions - Would the person co-operate to attain a goal, would they show altruism, would they be quick to anger - There's a lot you can measure in the virtual world as we know very well now, but didn't in 1991. Sadly, the lack of modern technology and the need to feed myself brought this PhD to an end without a write-up - But it's no wonder I ended up working for OkCupid, I guess :D

The sad thing about that is that although it didn't impact my life at all, other than having an interesting topic to discuss at parties, the PCL is used as a tool by US prisons in their parole calculations. A PCL diagnosis is a heavy weighting against parole, even though Hare himself has said that isn't the way this should be used. I dread to think how many autistic people are stuck in prisons for evermore because of misdiagnosed psychopathy.

The psychopathy test puts a lot more emphasis on masking and social interactions than on kidnapping people and putting them in wells to skin them later, I feel.

I can't be bothered to write a blog post about this, so I will scream into the #Mastodon #Void instead - Except now I have to think of some other #Hashtags which is always the hard part, I get carried away, autism you see!

Ugh did they break VipMud? I try to register my copy, put in my registration name, and:

Happy Husky-eye view of part of the hike back from Union Spring two days ago.

There was some mud here, easily avoided if you wanted to (clearly the huskies DIDN'T) but not nearly as bad as on yesterday's hike.

Dilophosaurus is wallowing.

This male mallard was really digging into the mud! Maybe it was having a spa day, and the mud helps keep their green head colorful and iridescent!

Mud is a big part of their diet as they have plant material and small organisms like worms and snails.

Been playing on https://www.erionmud.com and am thoroughly enjoying the crafting system. Having the option to just work uninterrupted, in familiar patterns, appeals to my #ActuallyAutistic need for structure and familiarity, while when my #ActuallyADHD side wants novelty, I can go wander the realm and see what pops up. And if I need something, I can make it myself, darn it! LOL If you try it out and need some pointers, I'm usually up there as Tamryn, so feel free to ask me anything.

My pup is happy but I am exhausted.

Saltmarsh planting day at the reservoir today- we do warn people that they will get muddy, no one seemed to mind, though some get muddier than others.

It rained all night except when it also snowed. The yard is now somewhat flooded and can't drain as the soil is still frozen underneath.

More of an indoors kind of day, I guess.

The depravity
of my nation now makes me
weep with frustration.

We will be dragged through
the mud, stoned, and beaten for
one man’s vanity.
