Fellow adult with ADHD here, welcome to the club!
What you're feeling is referred to as "imposter syndrome" and it's one of the more pesky symptoms of our particular affliction.
Just knowing it's a symptom of ADHD has been a huge help to me... When those thoughts creep in, I just remind myself how hard I've had to work to get here.
I know for a fact that I had to study for some of my licensing exams three or four times longer than some of my coworkers, for example. Those coworkers don't know that, and I wouldn't care if they did, but I know how hard I've had to work to get where I am and I'm proud of it.
Old and out of the loop gamer here - used to love FPS games but quit playing them when Counterstrike was new.
What's uh... what's going on? I keep seeing trailers for new FPS games that look like they're running the original Doom or Rise of the Triad engines.
Somebody help me understand.
Sorry, I'm going to fully disagree with you there. There was no "Satan" behind the Satanic Panic; there weren't hoardes of satanic teens sacrificing animals to Satan and eating babies, or any sort of movement trying to make that happen. It was just a fundie misinformation campaign designed to scare old white people into voting Republican.
The threat of AI-generated and assisted misinformation and disinformation, however, is very real, and has had disastrous effects in the real world. A casual glance at what Cambridge Analytica's algorithms have done to the US political landscape is all you need to confirm these things are very, very different.
Nope, I'm on Mobile. Since all I really use lemme for is text posts, links to articles about things, and the occasional star trek meme, there's just no added value in using a client for me. I have no interest in ad-supported software at all, so if there's a decent FOSS one I'd maybe try it eventually, but unless there's something as minimalistic as BaconReader, probably not.
As a 40 something, I tend to find memes tedious, boring, and unoriginal. Like, to the extent that I actively block every meme community that pops up on my feed.
Except Risa. It's my favorite community on Lemmy and makes me laugh multiple times per day.
That worked! Awesome, thanks, I tried a few other methods last week with no luck
