I like to think that he didn't really change, but figured out the socially acceptable way to pretend that he had been "cured."
Masking is apparently at least as old as written language....
They cured him of a hobby that made him happy? Dicks!
Dude should have just become the harbor master. He'd have been the natural best pick!
Seriously. Recognize a win when it's handed to you, people.
What did they do before the invention of vehicles?
I imagine horticulture and keeping track of the raiding parties arrivals and departures was pretty big
"You can sit here until the cows come home for all I care!"
and so he did
Birdwatching.
Animal migration? Which if you think about it makes a lot of sense for a evolutionary explanation for this behavior.
The existence of night rhythm people is hypotized to be a genetic factor that a human group needs some people to guard at night to keep the fire going and everyone safe.
Having a person within your group capable of noticing and tracking patterns trough time in nature can be a huge benefit but there is little further advantages to have more/multiple people tracking the same things.
Our genetics never considered that one day we function in a mega society where most people we interact with don't even know our full name, let alone our divergent skills and personal (dis)advantages.
OK but what's the cure?
The doctor was probably like "you can think about it all you want but you got to stop talking about it dude"
"Here's some heavily addictive narcotics. Add it to your wine and drink it thrice daily."
I'm willing to bet it involved leeches.
Probably the treatment for all neurodivergent behavior before the 2000s.
Beatings.
In some places, the beatings still continue.
Leeches and a mallet to the head.
Ah yes an AIS/ADSB and Train/Plane/Boat spotting enjoyer
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
