I think people want simple explanations for the world around them but more often than not the truth is not simple. A person without ADHD can suffer from poor self-discipline. I don't see any reason why someone with ADHD couldn't. It doesn't make them immune to the other personality quirks that people commonly have. I personally just don't think that a diagnosis gives anyone the excuse to stop trying. Play with the cards you've been dealt.

Even in this thread there are gatekeepers implying that because I'm not a completely dysfunctional wreck myself I must therefor not have ADHD.

The first time I saw text written by GPT it all seemed alright at first glance but once you started to actually read it was immediately obvious it had no idea what it was talking about. It was grammatically correct nonsense.

There's a difference between not being able to devote third of your life to capitalism and being unable to handle mundane tasks such as doing the dishes or taking out the trash. A lot of the ADHD memes here normalize the unability to even do the bare minimum.

do u realyse they are people really struggling

I aknowledge this in my open post. Those are not the people I'm refering to. That's why I said "a large number of.." instead of "everyone"

My post doesn't claim these people don't have ADHD or that I do.

Making this about me doesn't refute my claim either.

I don't believe in free will, thus nothing is under my control. I still try and get stuff done according to my best abilities despite my struggles. Telling a fat person that it's about their genes and there's nothing they can do about it is not true nor helpful.

I'm glad phones weren't banned when I was still in school but it would've been better for me if they were. I think this is one of those things where we need an authority to prevent us from doing something that's bad for us because we're not going to do it ourselves. It's equivalent to mom telling you to eat your vegetables.

A large number of people are using it as an excuse. I don't see how this in any way refutes my claim. I think you're arguing against a point I haven't made.

You diagnose ADHD (or lack thereof) from messageboard replies?

or downvote for being absolutely fucking wrong

What am I wrong about exactly?

I likely have some combination of autism / ADHD myself as I relate hard with much of the posts / memes I see here but I also realize that I don't need pats on my head about how I shouldn't feel bad about my struggles because it's "all due to ADHD". Yeah, maybe I'm playing life on a hard mode but I still want to play.

You can have ADHD and still use it as an excuse for not getting things done. It may be a contributing factor but not the entire reason. It's not binary, there are more and less severe cases of it.

Few years ago the output of GPT was complete gibberish and few years before that even producing such gibberish would've been impressive.

It doesn't take anyone's job untill it does.

In Finland they've been developing small scale reactors about the size of a shipping container but they're not intented to produce electricity but instead just heat water and then push it into the district heating grid. This way the powerplant would also be much simplier to produce and maintain as well as safer due to the lower pressures and temperatures it operates at. Basically a nuclear powered kettle.

Well maybe the second worst thing

It's simply supply exceeding demand. Finland has so much wind turbines that when it's summer time (no need for heating) and windy then the price drops to zero but then again in the winter time when it's cold and calm the opposite is true and we can see insane spikes in the price.

Well the water isn't disappearing anywhere and I believe that works on salt water as well

We each have our problems but I have to admit that I haven't heard many positive news coming from there recently.

In Finland we have Onkalo

Unfortunately Finland relies on nuclear, does it?

Yeah we though relying on Russian natural gas might pose some issues in the future so we went with nuclear instead. I hope we build more of it.
