Yeah, here we are. The majority of humanity addicted to social media, being brainwashed by far-right assholes into voting for Nazis. That worked out really well, didn’t it?

I have a feeling we’re talking about different things. I just wanted to add to the OP that a life with ADHD does have an effect on your character. I didn’t want to put any value into whether that is good or not.

No, but everything that happened around this illness did have an impact on my life. Learning to live with it (unknowingly), all the difficulties I have faced and somewhat overcome did build a certain character. Character isn’t something you’re born with. It’s how you interact with your surroundings that builds your character. Whether I like it or not. 40 years of this shit has an impact on how you do things, the friends you make, everything. Claiming that this hasn’t formed my character would be a lie. I’m definitely not over it. I got diagnosed because work became too difficult to handle and I sought help, believing it was a depression or a burnout. I never knew it was ADHD (and depressions from the shit i had to go through in my childhood) up until very recently. I’m now getting treated and it is an absolute godsend. And that’s just therapy. Meds are coming soon. Still have to go through some medical hurdles first but I’m very eager to find out how meds will have an impact. Looking back at what I could have achieved without this illness really brings me to tears at times.

So again, if I could travel back in time and were able to eliminate this illness from the beginning, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit. It might have made me a different person than I am now, but I’m very sure life would have been easier.

I believe it was because CAD was already under fire by 4chan for being a subpar gaming comic. This just delivered meme material.

I was recently diagnosed (at 42). Up until then I had no clue what was wrong with me. If I could travel back in time and get treatment in my early years, I would definitely do it. But as it is, it has become part of my character, whether I like it or not. I’m not romanticizing it in any way, just putting it the way it is.

To be fair, if you’ve been diagnosed as an adult, ADHD is a huge part of who you are. You’ve lived with it your entire life and you’ve developed coping mechanisms accordingly.

But I get what you’re saying!

This! Thrash metal or some good electronic music is the only thing that helps. Chiptunes too. I can pump out shitloads of work that way. Unfortunately, ever since Teams was introduced, people keep calling me without hesitation. People invite me to (recurring) meetings faster than I can decline them. I fucking hate the post covid era. I can’t listen to music for more than 2 minutes before the next interruption.

It’s also a billion times more annoying. Just use a rake, dude. And while were at it, install a lawnbot. Fucking lawnmowers are just as loud and annoying.

Is there a plugin for Stremio that provides a kid’s profile function? That’s the only thing keeping me from canceling my Netflix subscription.

Look at this edgelord right here in his 20s. This obsession on Lemmy with killing oneself is fucking sick.

I just started magic the gathering as a hobby, lol

My wallet feels this.

Neurotypical people don’t lose things as often. And when they do, they often remember where they misplaced it by retracing their steps.

Neurotypical people have their shit together so they find time and energy for cooking meals more often than people with ADHD.

I definitely find myself in all of these, except for the one in the middle of the last row.

I absolutely hate these shitty little fucking videos with a passion. Which is why I told them to piss the fuck off with YouTube ReVanced.

Its not really something kids can do though. The overwhelming majority of parents neither. Hell, I consider myself somewhat tech savvy, but I’m just starting on that journey.

I have no idea what a good regulation might look like, but just letting techbros do whatever they want is not an option.

A tiny niche that’s only accessible to people who know how the internet works. Ask your regular Joe if they’ve even ever heard of the Fediverse. Kids will flock to the easiest accessible and largest platforms. Not Lemmy. And even Lemmy would be toxic for kids.

The internet is firmly in the grasp of mega corporations. There is no free internet anymore. This shit needs to be regulated.

You do know that Scandinavia has a very high PHEV quota, right? Sure, would have liked to see this news coming from Norway, but this is still very much relevant.

I just installed Pop!OS :)

Hasbro is a requirement for the D&D license, no?

Larian at least went against the grain of the AAAAA Industry and delivered something truly wonderful.

Smouldering Durtles is great for learning kanji, if that’s part of your goal. In all likelihood you won’t want to do that though.

Human Japanese is great for learning grammar!
