It’s fine if people come in to learn about it though, right? I think a lot of people like myself can’t get diagnosed for various reasons, or maybe they just have a loved one who has ADHD. I think it’s better to say that if you’re going to be ableist about it, you can keep your mouth shut.
Pretty much every mental diagnosis that exists is a case of something completely normal which presents in too extreme (or too muted) a fashion in the given individual. The criteria for diagnosis isn’t just whether you experience X, but whether X has a significant negative impact on your life.
Do people for reals buy HFCS for home baking? Like you can just go buy a jug at the grocery store? I’ve seen it in ingredients lists of packaged foods, but I’ve never seen the stuff itself IRL. (Gonna assume it looks roughly like syrup. Corn syrup maybe.)

Cool.

Individual Pokemon are made up of many stat values that make them much more unique than gacha characters and skins. My Espeon from Gale of Darkness can’t be replaced with another Espeon.
stray@pawb.socialto Tech@programming.dev•Microsoft locks Windows 11 user out, shows how easy losing data from forced encryption is2·1 month agoI don’t think I grasp this at all. They say the encryption is forced, so that means that I can’t just access my files with Linux or whatever? But then at the end they say to use an extra hard drive as backup, so that can’t be right. Is their problem that the cloud storage is encrypted? Wouldn’t it be a huge, glaring issue if it wasn’t? Regardless, I would expect to be locked out of my files on a cloud storage service I got locked out of, so I don’t know what encryption has to do with it. I don’t get it.
I like the treadmill or walking outside.
I obviously can’t be sure about you, but in my case my tastes have crystallized pretty dramatically, and I’m now much harder to please than when I was younger.
One thing that has changed though, is that games in general tend to have much more detailed stories and dialog in a way that just wasn’t in the budget or storage space previously. Nothing annoys me more than having to watch a movie when I want to play a game or to jump through hoops just to get to the next chapter of a book. These are very different activities which require very different moods to enjoy.
I’m almost positive this is my problem, but my local health system won’t let me see a psychiatrist.

Other than that, I don’t see how it could be helpful.
Even if you can afford a doctor, I’m not sure I’d risk a US diagnosis these days, what with all the talk of being sent off to a pleasant farm where nothing bad will happen to you.

I can’t read relatable shit like this while knowing they refuse to even test me. -_-
Other animals like the wheels too, and bees love balls for some reason. :D
