Honestly, seriously. Would harm reduction have happened if Kamala was elected. Yes. Did I personally core for her? Yes.

Did this get them elected? No? Shut the fuck up and stop blaming voters because the Democrats don’t know how to do politics on purpose so they don’t lose their bribes.

Want a better analogy? There’s a bus driving for a cliff and one group votes to minimize the impact of driving off the cliff while another group says please please drive faster off the cliff and do a backflip. A third group says guys, can we perhaps maybe not drive off the cliffd? And the rest call them insane and drive off the cliff

I think a lot of nerdy people need to just start going outside and doing stuff. Like, if you enjoy DND roll up to the local hobby store and start hanging out, even if you arent playing.

None of this is targeted directly at you, just as good a spot as any to rant… lol

I think more people would be surprised that the horror stories are the minority. At my local game story I go to a painting night once a month mostly to hang out and chat. There are a pretty even split of women/men.

Point is I think this a safe spot to make friends and making friends is the only way to get into a relationship you’ll actually enjoy.

I met my girlfriend doing Star wars rp. My friend met his girl playing magic l. All my single friends have something in common. They don’t make time for their hobbies and don’t hang out with like minded people in that space.

Just a side note I’m not saying that everyone should go harass people at their FLGS or use it as a dating service, but rather, going out and hanging out with like minded people opens up a lot of options that aren’t on dating apps.

I’m pretty introverted too but when people are into whatever my hyper focus is it’s much easier to open up. Go out there! Be uncomfortable! Not a cure all but it’s something.

If you measure the us conviction rate the same way the commonly quoted 99% conviction rate in Japan is calculated ours is actually higher.

Lol it’s been 12 hours? It felt like two.

As someone who has been diagnosed with ADHD as a child and then 20 years later as an adult. Yeah

I have hours where I think multiple days of thoughts and days where I space out most of it lol

It’s easy to imagine them however you want. Truth is a lot of those incels probably come across as normal on the surface and have a normal life and are just depressed people looking for something to blame

I feel you. I often hate things because too many people annoy me by liking them too much but ya know that’s nebulous and stupid. As I’ve gotten older I’ve just kinda stopped letting that happen and try to give things a chance

Say something non political

Not defending PayPal, but I used to work there. They suck but in my experience you woulda lost the 500 of the person had called their card company too. Idk how the bank would have handled the dispute directly without PayPal but they do love holding funds as well

I’ve been diagnosed twice with ADHD. I have it. I’ve tried a bunch of different meds and some work sometimes etc etc

Ive definitely had spacey days where I will literally lose myself staring at nothing for 15 minutes. That’s rare though. Most of the time removing distractions, setting a routine, and ensuring I am on task when meds kick in help a bunch. The last one especially. With meds I HAVE to actually be doing the thing I’m supposed to with little opportunity for distraction when they kick in or I will fuck around.

This meme and many others do not match my experience with ADHD. I’m sure it does for some.

Hot take? I think a lot of people with ADHD (me included) use it as an excuse to not try. It’s typically not impossible to overcome but it does make it more difficult. I say this having more often than not failing to over come my adhd.

People with ADHD are often impulsive and self destructive and memes like this, to me, are an expression of that self destructive part.

Tbf to the meme though if you are deep in a spiral of self destructive procrastinating for months and that’s lead to issues at work, home etc then it’s easy to hit burnout and be depressed.

But at the end of the day you have to use methods like removing distractions, taking notes and making checklists or whatever works for you so you don’t fall down those ADHD doomspirals. At least I don’t know any other way to stop it lol
