githulhu··on Life of solitude: A loneliness crisis is looming
You're right, thanks for calling me out. I thought about deleting the comment. I was just complaining...usually, I can restrain myself, this time, I slipped.

At the risk of sounding negative, I've found that this is probably a waste of time, because most therapists are utter garbage...

And, it's really no surprise, really, if you look at the average salary for therapists. I imagine that most of the ones who could actually help you are running high-priced practices treating Arab princes and basketball players...naturally they are not going to be found in the provider directory for your insurance...if you even have insurance... (US perspective here)

githulhu··on Tutor reveals the Ivy-admissions madness of rich penthouse parents
Some people smart and fast, while others are also smart, but, well...slow. Meaning that both would get the right answer to a tough question eventually, but the fast one would get it faster. Some would argue that this makes the fast one "smarter," including, one could guess, the designers of timed tests, such as the SAT.
githulhu··on How I cracked my neighbor's WiFi password without breaking a sweat
Maybe they assume that a 10-number password is likely to be a phone number, and so constrain the three most significant numbers to just valid US area codes. Add in other rules, like the fourth digit never being a zero, etc...and the space is pared down quite a bit.
