They have those little kiosks now don't they? Headphones, movies, gaming system, kids...

Likewise. Meds help me ...but so did therapy. I still have to have the mindset right. If I do and I'm on meds then it actually works.

I totally believe (without any evidence but my own experience) that procrastination for me with ADHD is at least partly a response to prior unhappy experiences.

Now that I recognize some of the emotional components involved I can work through those directly and have a much better chance of getting motivated .

And also I still procrastinate plenty and I have come to avoid self judgement. Because beating myself up doesn't help me get motivated. It does the opposite. I accept that this is a tendency but one that I continue to improve upon.

It's a meme. See Snopes.

Totally agree.

And even if you don't say racist things, growing up in the US, the pervasive, insidious racist ideas (e.g., myths, stereotypes, falsehoods) may have infected our thinking.

I think Dr. I. X. Kendi framed it right. It's on each of us to understand what those racist ideas are, examine ourselves, and choose to fight against them not just in our own minds but everywhere.

I've never once dropped the hard n and I can't think of anyone who has even my late racist dad. That term comes from a place of bigotry against black people.

Three years later, he had this to say...

“With this foundation, I can be accountable. I can learn from my mistakes and I can move forward,” Hogan said. “And what’s so cool now is working with the Boys Club, I have a chance to help these kids not make the mistake I made, being at the wrong place at the wrong time or saying the wrong words.”

No words on equality, changing his attitudes, nope just regrets being caught. Jfc. Prick.

It works a lot better when there are many choices, fair competition in the market, and the traits being voted on are painfully obvious.

Well... I bought an AMD card, I have been using Firefox for a few years now, and I'm not buying anything from Blizzard. There are literally dozens like me... Unfortunately, only a small number of people know these things and have these views and care enough to boycott. These companies will continue to do what they do until there is sufficient pushback (if ever) to make it less profitable than alternatives.

Probably only because it became so glaringly obvious despite having started far earlier.

Thank you, teachers! o7

Yeah it's like every time you turn around there's a dozen more articles on how we are actively wrecking the shit out of our planet.

I'm kind of at the point where I just assume 99% of humanity is going to die off at some point (might even live to see it whee).

And, hopefully, humanity will never be able to reconstruct modern society because we've used up all the easily discoverable resources.

We'll just be stuck in the iron, bronze or probably stone age until rats evolve and destroy us in a million years.
