It's an xda-dev article. Of course the title is over-dramatized clickbait.

Alternatively: bring them to the doctor or schedule a sleep study to figure out what's going on.

I don't understand how parents can fail their children so consistently. It takes so little empathy and reason to see someone struggling and ask "how can I help them achieve the best outcome" instead of "how can I immediately force the outcome I want". Especially for a loved one!

I can only imagine such parents are so self-absorbed that their empathy and reason were sucked up into their own assholes at some point along with the rest of their humanity and then shit out their mouths during an inevitably bloviated, assinine, masturbatory tirade.

A CV is just a list of things you've done during your life so far. Unless someplace is asking for your résumé AND CV then they're probably only looking for your résumé. People conflate the two all the time.

Even then those who ask for both typically leave the CV as optional.

For those without much experience I usually recommend a skills résumé. Searching "skills resume example" or similar will net some useful results.

I recommend keeping the résumé to a single page. Provide your name and contact info at the top. Under each Skill you include provide a list of how you've used the skill or how you learned it.

Example:

derek        derek@infosec.pub
                  phone number
                  other info if needed

Skills
   Skill 1
      One or two sentences about how I learned skill 1.
      One or two sentences about how I've used skill 1 to solve a problem.
      One or two sentences about how I've used skill 1 to help someone else solve their problem.

   Skill 2
      One or two sentences about how I learned skill 2.
      One or two sentences about how I've used skill 2 to solve a problem.
      One or two sentences about how I've used skill 2 to help someone else solve their problem.

Relevant Experience (include this section if you can think of any relevant experience at all)
   Experience 1
      Some blurb about experience 1.

   Experience 2
      Some blurb about experience 2.

Training (same rules as with Relevant Experience section)

References (if anyone at all can vouch for you then including them here can be helpful)

The most important aspect of submitting an application for anything is actually submitting it. It doesn't have to be perfect or polished to get you an interview. It just has to be real and in front of a hiring manager's eyes.

I've reviewed applications, conducted interviews, and hired people before. I can tell you, for any entry level role, that an earnest person who is willing to listen and learn, admit ignorance readily, and ask for help openly, is going to get the job over someone with fancy paperwork who lacks those traits in-person.

Common sense doesn't necessarily include "troubleshooting". It's a tiered skill as well. A fresh network admin with a passing familiarity of the OSI model and an IT systems architect are going to have very different depths of understanding and expertise.

If there's a unifying thread it's likely systems thinking (within which there are different methods and disciplines). Some are naturally better at it than others but it is a set of skills and models anyone can learn and use. The best of us are able to maintain composure under pressure, think clearly, and act wisely, because they've built the necessary psychological tooling to do so (and trained skills which deploy that tooling).

All of that said: absolutely, yes. A resume is a list of things you want to talk about in an interview. If your resume is sparse but you're able to list any skill pertainent to the role you're applying for then it's reasonable to include that skill.

The dog found a nest of 'em in the backyard once. She started digging at the hole then stuck her nose in it. Got rewarded with a snoutful of bees for the effort.

Pooch looked like a happy hamster for a few days but recovered ok. She stopped rooting around after that though!

The reason this is attracting flame is mostly that you've included assertions in your question.

There is no "right" way to experience art, people with ADHD are not a monolith, and ADHD is symptomatically diverse.

I believe the heart of your question, if presented in good faith, is "do people who experience movies differently than I do still enjoy movies?" and the only correct answer is: it depends on the person.

Using an LLM I'd wager.
