Stupid is dead accurate.

They claim to value nonbiased public education, yet clearly- they bias the education given in the areas they are dominant in. In public schools at, home, and any where elsen 2 MAGA are present, circle jerking ensues......they honestly need serius help / teaching-although many aren't teachable true

I've lived in a area thet is mostly red area from birth until about age 20....

It is absolutely stunning the level of ignorance from many (most) MAGA. The circle jerk eachother something fierce.

Traitorous is an appropriate word for many, but for many-also- they are so uneducated, so uninformed, so lacking in critical thinking and accurate up-to-date news that, for those people, they may as well be considered retarded; and are victim to the FOX et al news and media sources. I dont know how the nation will ever get this cohort to change, unless there is a concerted (and well effective I guess)effort to improve education and some sort of changes to cable news, Facebook news and other uncool places where these peoppe get their news.

The rural people problem......

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding in the world about the scale of the USA's problems, what individuals in the military do, what caused them enlist, how our population is orders of magnitude greater than most nations and how that has such a powerful effect and consequence to our democracy / republic.

I dont go around making these wild claims about other nations but many folks outside US see no issue for to make uninformed, inflammatory statements about us.

Its easy for them say : military bad Its true but not comprehensively true, as if it would be so easy for us to just stop. This shit is an incomprehensible large machine that has inertia.....and it truly truly sucks. But can we please prioritize blaming and holding accountable the mother fuckers making these damn decisions instead of a mother fucking janitor or an accountant or truly does fuck all and definitely isnt killing anyone.

No doubt....unquestionably so, there will be investigations, eventually into the nature of attacks recently thst led to innocent lives being killed-- hopefully it is public enough for us to peer inside those happenings.....

I am somewhat liberal and so I personally do not support state sponsored death penalties; however, I do wish the nation I am a citizen of would be more progressive, less war prone, and yes stop bombing other countries.
Especially death penalties for people with little to no agency.

If I make a to do list I almost inevitably add completely unnecessary fluff.

Such as

-remove winter clothing, wash, dry, refold -Delete old emails and create new email / up date subscriptions / cancel subscriptions -Relearn polynomial equations -memorize birds common in (my area) -learn how to identify trees in (my area) And then -Pay off credit card debt [doesnt seem as worthwhile compared to relearning polynomial despite it's abject greater practicality and value]

I never thought I had ADHD until recently. About a month ago or something I was diagnosed. I have: however, for all of my life struggled apparently more than my peers. I couldn't focus, I had meltdowns learning math and reading, (crying, yelling, shutting down ) I'm late places, Im often late to turn in work things or previously school things. After work 80%-90% of the time I feel completely numb, wasted, tired, and a little (or a lot) depressed.

The memes and the mental health awareness zeitgeist, I think helped me connect the dots where I used to believe it was just depression and a lack of motivation and or discipline and also a lack of socialization at the right ages resulting in less social skills and less self confidence.

I exist mostly without relationships. I can barely fathom living with one romantic person. If that person then was able to execute sexual acts with others on a regular basis with relative ease I dont think we'd be compatible because our lives would be too different, experiences too different.

I can imagine, however, a different scenario wherein both of us pay for professional, independent sex workers occasionally-primarily themselves that are also adept in therapeutic massage. Maybe. But still it does seem like an odd zeitgeist for romantic relationships right now.

My grandad always says: 2 types of people, those who categorize people into 2 types of people, and those that do not.

I like yours as well.

I agree I dont see the reason for the hype.

I sure would like to go to the moon, maybe, but I wouldnt claim that my being there was special or impactful to the world other than I had a very privileged experience.

Someone mentioned to me that going to the moon is like the greatest thing we've ever done. I just dont think so. And it seems the answers I get to the question of why is it good is never very clear.

People seem to indicate something along the lines of

People going into space is a departure from Earth. And it was so hard. And it still is hard. All the calculations that must be accurate, all the technology, the difficulty of zero gravity on the body.....we can spread humanity into the stars....(we are no were near that) think about the science (what about it?)

Things being difficult does not equal greatness or positive impact.

The thing that is good for sure, is technology innovation that impacts other areas than space.

Another thing that may be good is, having a moon colony. (There is a plan) But I havent looked into Artemis so much to see how much this trip is doing to forward that plan, if any.

Satellites great and all that. More knowledge about the moon and space great-but how much is the human needed, unless establishing a colony, like 80% of the good things about going to the moon you dont need people, unmanned.

John Snow arguably had more positive impact on humanity than all the moon efforts combined.

Its true that I am also not super into space exploration, so Im sure I lack a lot of knowledge but this is my opinion now.

An understandable sentiment.

Should we rename all conditions that have high comorbidity? Deprexiety is some letters that would produce some sounds when spoken [rhetorical].

Hmmm I didn't know this.

So during the assessment there should be two evaluator? Amd if there is only one, maybe I should be suspect?

I use and to begin sentences now, I believe to be acceptable by some style guides or general practice. Perhaps some do not, opinions?

Thanks for the reply

 

I am a person, 31, I have at times had the thought that 'I must be Autistic' and other times I have had the complete opposite thought. Currently, after taking a few online batteries and reading a bit more Im quite sure I am not.

Reasons I think I am not revolve around 3 symptoms/ criteria - repetitive gestures and routines.

I do; however, highly suspect I have ADHD.

I suppose my question 'boils down' to this, probably naaive idea thst autism is the exact opposite of ADHD, where I struggle entirely with keeping my apartment clean, getting taxes done, and enjoying my hobbies (increasing knowledge of topics I like, collecting thinks revolving around the topics, engaging in regularl, habitual activities with structure-structured engagement). It seems that Autism would he a silver bullet if I could somehow catch it.

I know this is ignorant, naaive and maybe even disrespectful or hurtful. I also am aware that there is a significant percentage of people who have both. I'd like to say that I do not mean to hurtful in this today's impulsive quest.

Questions for real this time--

*If you are Autism/ADHD, which did your doctor notice/diagnose first?

Which did you notice might be apparent first, if you weren't diagnosed by guidance of parents?

Do you feel a constant friction between these two sorts of things? *

I suppose I really have quite a number of questions if you (individuals whom are AuDHD or either or and are also reading this post on this phenomenon)feel like fielding them.

Apologies for the poor structure. And I hope to hear your inputs.
