I'm not sure that having a gender identity is a mental disorder.[...]

It is not a mental disorder to have a gender identity.
That wording makes it silly.

It was intended that way, if that matters.

Somehow, my keyboard started typing only in Cyrillic characters until I uninstalled the Russian keyboard from the language menu. I don't speak Russian, and I have no idea how the keyboard got installed in the first place.

Well sorry I mentioned anything. I'm fine.

КЁК

[Sergarr]

Oh goodness what is with the depersonalization being thrown around like its a mild thing :I
No, it isn't, @Sergarr.

Oh thank god. You're a life-saver. I guess it's just a minor deviation, then! Good to know.

I've seen similar things, when my keyboard started typing in "aeiou"-like letters with dots all over the place instead of Russian. Though that was actually caused by some encoding issues.

[Tiruin]

Well sorry I mentioned anything. I'm fine.

I'm not saying anything against you or what you said. :I It's more me being ":I" at the idea being used mildly or casually when there are better and more appropriate terms, because those terms back there may give you the wrong impression of yourself that way.
I feel passive-aggressive'd at. >_<

Soooo depersonalisation is classified as a disorder. I did genuinely think it was one of those weird sensations people get sometimes but do not ever bring up.

It is, but it's also a term.
Do not use it lightly. :I (or if you feel like using it, don't use it like a label)

Is because your keyboard is Russia clay now

Welcome new comrade

Ukrainians don't speak Russian either.
Russia doesn't give a shit.

Tiruin, you cannot seriously hope to control the terminology people use and the circumstances under which they do so. That's "doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results." Which is also called insanity.

[miauw62]

that doesnt mean you cant ask people to be careful what words they use :v

Oh you. I will just be all :I now in good humor.
And yes, while I can't do that, I'm just really concerned if they do so (but that leaves the responsibility on them fully, but still :< ).

Windows 10 has this button in the taskbar that switches between keyboard layouts. Clicking it when it's wrong remedies the problem, uninstalling the layouts you don't use fixes it, as you did.

Technically, it's a symptom of a disorder, not one in its own right. Since mental disorders are diagnosed based on the number of symptoms, one isolated feeling of depersonalization isn't dissociative identity disorder, just like a short bout of sadness isn't depression.

So. The 5th of November is the Day of Clowns in the Swedish city of Nyköping, when lots of clowns gather in a clown parade and celebration of a famous, passed away clown. Due to the recent Honkening events (yes, they've spread to Sweden too), they decided that inviting to a "clown parade" would be in bad taste this year and thus to change the name from Clown Day to The Great Children's Party.

Because that is not at all even more troubling.

What happened here ._.?

Assholes dressing up as clowns and threatening/scaring people is currently trending.

Or, depending on how you see it, the last battle for middle earth has begun, and Sauron is really into clown fashion.
