Thanks for confirming you’ve got no good intentions & are just being ableist 👍

Exactly - I don’t know what you have- YOU’RE the one who said you don’t think you have “true” ADHD and used the air quotes… again, in a community specifically for ADHD. That is invalidating to everyone with ADHD who reads it in a society that doubts the existence of our disability altogether.

I’m telling YOU that YOUR posts give off BIG “hey you don’t have ADHD, you just aren’t fixing yourself right” energy. That’s not me gatekeeping - that me advocating against ableism. That attitude kills people. This is me educating you. And if you can’t understand that or at least respect the impact your attitudes & theories might have on a vulnerable community, I guess I’d have to ask - why are you HERE? Because it’s not to help, if that’s the case.

You keep saying shit like “uninformed speculation” and you don’t think you have “TRUE” ADHD but still spouting your theories about “fixing” shit that can’t be fixed guy…. In a forum FOR people WITH ADHD. ADHD is a disability. I have been diagnosed “officially” but I’ve seen the effects being undiagnosed on people has and don’t begrudge anyone a self diagnosis if they’ve self educated. It doesn’t seem you have. You’re invalidating and mocking people with a recognized disability. Stop.

The “answers provided by the quiz” just serves to allow for the demonization of critical, democratic entities/institutions with no regard for nuance or root cause.
Unchecked capitalistic exploitation ≠ politicians
Information manipulation and exploitation ≠ media

Media (& social media) & politicians are not inherently bad. “An incantation some people mutter to conjure broad, bland, completely unspecific justice” indeed.

Thank you for asking questions! ❤️ We are constantly being misled

I’m with you basically and was also taught average = mean. If you meant median or mode you had to say so. 🤷‍♀️ This feels like when I learned my blood isn’t blue because it’s deoxygenated lol

My brain has stopped functioning since this AM 🤣 but that’s fair re: “echo chambers in general” - just the “both sides” rhetoric and the specific questions about “dem echo chambers” had me wondering what specific problematic issues were stemming from that. I was gonna be specific but I can no longer find/follow the convo - Oy old age ig - thank for taking the time to answer.

Maybe easier to rent for pest control? That would be my most practical guess. Also subject to different building codes normally and faster to build than high rise apts.

What do you feel are the problematic issues stemming from the “dem echo chamber”?

“All of this despite the fact that they had no proof that she had incorporated either her personal beliefs or any topics of sexuality into her lessons.” - the article

too many are simply with the belief that no god exists and that faithful people cannot be right and that what their doing is wrong.

That’s not hateful or intolerant. Hateful and intolerant isn’t disagreeing with you or even vocalizing a belief that you’re wrong. It’s certainly not voicing that a religion is harming others (I.e. wrong).

These ain’t mama bears - mama bears prepare their cubs to survive in the real world. All I’ve seen from these women is trying to hide things from kids (history, gay people, books, whatever) - head burying- call ‘em ostrich moms or something.

Sleep stuff sucks, sorry you’re having a hard time. One thing that helps me - I bought some smart lights and programmed them to a schedule. They all go red and dim a couple hours before bedtime so I know to start winding down. The tv backlight also gets dimmed. It’s a nice little routine / cue. Supposedly minimizing blue light exposure before bedtime is good for your sleep?

They really tryna blame “the fappening” on Reddit though

“the responsibility for determining a student’s gender identity rests with the student’s parents/guardians.”

I hope someday we can start seeing children as people instead of property.

My primary care doctor does drug test for ADHD prescriptions. She’s mentioned it’s something the DEA wants to see if she prescribes controlled substances. I was only getting Vyvanse (which is supposed to be un-abusable?).

ETA: while marijuana was never specifically mentioned (I did not partake), my doctor did use those drug tests to chide me about nicotine use as I was vaping at the time… so it seems it’s not just about testing to ensure you’re taking your stimulants and not selling them…

How do you cope with knowing better

BIG IME - I think sometimes you gotta accept that maybe you don’t necessarily know better (it’s hard, i know).

Especially with dev work (especially open source) - sometimes you’re limited by available technology, time, resources (servers, bandwidth, people, blah blah), etc. Your ideas may be good but not feasible (at the moment), for example.

That’s not to say you can’t put forth your idea - repeatedly even. Keep being part of the conversation and ask questions, make suggestions. You just have to work on letting go of the frustration and seek to do some understanding of your own. The more you understand & learn, the more clearly you can communicate your own ideas using language / frameworks devs or others are more familiar with and the easier it might be to get buy-in for your ideas.

I’ve also found it helps to refine the problem statement - outline the issues and problems without offering solutions straight away & see if others note the same problems? It seems silly, but sometimes it’s easier to get folks on board with problems…
