It’s also the height of install. If you drive a subcompact a lot of vehicles will just have lights so high up to you that what’s a reasonable angle for them is directly in your mirror

I don’t want anything about driving at night to look psychedelic or weird as heck

Ooh a place for the cult of the Honda Fit to congregate

Yeah I’m not vegan, but if vegans want to be insufferable in vegan spaces I think that’s ok. That’s where it’s supposed to be. If you want to be anti vegan in those spaces you’re an asshole for it

Fair warning I know many people who love strattera, but it knocks me out cold. I basically spent a summer sleeping through everything as a kid

I used to love them. These days I pop that shit in the toaster

It can. For me the darkness gives me less stimulation and that can be calming or help me focus when I can’t regulate visual stimuli.

Yeah we’re able to fuck up. Quite good at it actually. Hard to find a group better at it honestly

Unfortunately even hyperactivity is misrepresented. My mom was far to the hyperactive side, but when an adult woman can’t make herself shut up and just needs to get out of the house at least once a day or she loses her dang mind, people don’t see adhd, they see a hot mess who’s just too impulsive.

One thing that may convince them of the severity of it is the fact that extremely anti drug governments allow children to have stimulants with diagnosis.

And yeah medication isn’t for everyone, but I do encourage people to try and see if it’s for them. Non medication assistance may also be available but it’s far more mixed of a bag than medication is

Don’t fall into the “the goal of medication is to stop needing it” trap. It’s a tool, get over any shame about it. Yes use it to implement good habits, but not in a “so you stop needing it” way, but in a “so you have good habits and so your adhd is even more effectively under control” way

No, what they’re saying is that that’s something that just happens sometimes with people with adhd. Not intentionally, sometimes even while we internally scream to stop. It’s basically a complete breakdown of executive functioning

There’s a theory that it doesn’t get better with age for anyone but many learn coping and masking mechanisms.

But yeah unfortunately what you’re describing is not rare. What you’re describing sounds an awful lot like you might be burning yourself out by the end of the day using all of your energy focusing on school and your internship.

If you aren’t medicated that would likely be the first place to start. I know everyone hates hearing diet and exercise, and they absolutely aren’t the cure some claim, but for myself at least they are a vital component of a holistic treatment. I need a combination of stimulant medication, healthy diet, regular exercise, sufficient social interaction, decent sleep, consistent habits, and the proper rest in order to be my best. Some of these can be trimmed with minor losses, but meds are bare minimum to function, and diet, exercise, and socialization are the difference between “can work then break down at home” and “actually function in my home life”.

I know it can be daunting and I just flat out couldn’t do it at times in college. My senior design project wasn’t going to sit around for me to go on a bike ride. But when my brain got fuzzy walked a lap around campus. Put on a podcast and move your body. And most importantly this isn’t all or nothing, this is every bit helps, and you can use that help to get another bit. Healthier food (like peanut butter on whole wheat for lunch instead of take out or ramen) may give you the energy to take a walk. Regular walks might give you the energy to go out with friends for an evening. These are habits and it took me most of my 20s to figure out and implement this.

That’s adhd. Bad habits don’t impact your mental speed or ability to drive with music on

Do trans people just love arch or something?

Wait you use a real sharps container? I just use an empty bottle of whiskey

There are middle aged people who were kidnapped from their homes by the government, beaten for using their language, and taught not to ask questions when a classmate disappeared. Anyone who thinks that the oppression of native Americans is some ancient history thing needs to actually talk to some because we still aren’t treating them with any decency

If you’ve got six feet you should probably talk to a doctor

How high are you?

Listen to communist folk music it’ll give you some tastes

Default Ubuntu is the most oppressed? You’ve got to be KDEing me

Full agreement and I think it’s one of the biggest reasons why I need to be involved in communities. “I know you, I like you, but I don’t have the time or energy to hit you up just to chat on purpose, if circumstances change we may become friends” is a really nice relationship to have a lot of.

Ok I’m loving the ohioposting

Yeah honestly it’s one of the few meats I still crave as a pescatarian, which is weird because it’s always been pretty good but nothing super special aside from tasting like home

Nah it’s actually quite flavorful. It’s more like a carby coney dog

Is that not normal food where you’re from?

So I recommend Python if you just want general coding, dual booting Ubuntu or some other beginner friendly linux if that’s more interesting to you, or starting with html if website design sounds more fun.

Alternatively you could try R, it’s weird but I like it.

Yeah, but assholes can riot too. Assholes can be unheard. One needs to listen to what a group is demanding and ask if their demands are for justice or for injustice. Sometimes a race riot is against racism, sometimes it’s against racialized people doing well in a racist society. Jan 6 was a riot. They felt unheard and made demands and used violence to get them. That’s bad. Stonewall was a bunch of people who felt unheard, made demands, and used violence to get them. That was good. The difference is that society was right for listening to the votes instead of conspiracy theories and society was wrong for sending cops to arrest gay people.

We remember the reasonable ones positively, but it isn’t all of them. It’s important to remember that not all riots or protests are to create a more equitable society. Unite the right was a riot for example and one could easily call Mussolini’s march on rome a protest.

Because internal combustion engine shipping sounds ridiculous

That’s my general rule yes

Yeah I installed Garuda yesterday and games worked great. It’s literally everything else that had me wanting a “Linux for fucking morons” class.

I do love me some communist folk music.

I think it’s exploding heads. I don’t think spez thinks it’s actually competition. Exploding heads is a bunch of bigots who are mad that more and more instances defederated them when world did. My big argument about it is that the hack deleted the defederation list

And some trans people don’t. Like sorry I fall into the contra camp. The only time I really understood gender beyond dysphoria and avoiding it was after two tabs of acid and several years of transition.

Yeah I’m an anarchist. I have friends who are ML. If they were to say, support a theoretical Cuban invasion of Rojava (listen there aren’t many anti capitalist countries in 2023) because Rojava isn’t the right kind of anti capitalist that would be some tankie ass shit.

The Soviets weren’t saying “be communist or be destroyed” the rebels believed in communism they just wanted self rule.

Also tankie usually implies someone supports Russia and China no matter what they do. Often they use the argument of being anti imperialist even when defending imperialist expansion.

Out of curiosity what makes you think 2023 Russia is left wing? They weren’t even the last of the countries to leave the USSR. They privatized Soviet holdings in the 90s. Putin is former KGB sure, but he’s been very pro capital his entire reign.

Yeah the dictatorship of the proletariat shouldn’t be thought of as like the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein but rather as forceful removal of hierarchy from society. “We will learn to live as equals no matter how difficult it is and those who refuse to join in the work will be punished.” If you’re just getting rid of the people who held power before the revolution and not fighting the desire for power you’re just gonna wind up with a red czar.

I mocked all of you. Jokes on me you all turned out pretty cool and to have good taste in music. I was just uncomfortable experimenting and possibly coming off ridiculous. Somehow I managed to be cringe because of my efforts not to.

Sometimes I think that since I still really love goth chicks I haven’t changed that much since the 00s

But then I remember that over that time frame goth chicks went from edgy rebellious teenagers in a ton of makeup to moms in their 30s with a wicked sense of humor that wear a lot of black. They still deal weed and hate authorities though.
