Likewise. Meds help me ...but so did therapy. I still have to have the mindset right. If I do and I'm on meds then it actually works.

I totally believe (without any evidence but my own experience) that procrastination for me with ADHD is at least partly a response to prior unhappy experiences.

Now that I recognize some of the emotional components involved I can work through those directly and have a much better chance of getting motivated .

And also I still procrastinate plenty and I have come to avoid self judgement. Because beating myself up doesn't help me get motivated. It does the opposite. I accept that this is a tendency but one that I continue to improve upon.

Fair enough. Sucks that we live in a society where we can't get healthcare by default.

Anyway Hyperfocus is one of a number of ADHD symptoms. I got diagnosed in my 40s

Avoiding docs is one major reason my friend died recently in his 50s. Undiagnosed blood pressure and cholesterol led to heart failure.

It's hard to break those habits for sure.

That reminds me... I may have turned off ublock a bit ago. Oops.

Thank you! Finally makes sense.

I hear and feel ya. Taking away people's options when it comes to raising a kid is fucked. I have one kid and man it's beyond great (it isn't always). But I am glad I waited until we were older. We had that choice. Everyone should. And adoption? Great theory but I don't think it works out so great for the kid.

Ever been diagnosed with ADHD?

All I can say anymore is...

Open your eyes

Thank you Firefox and pi-hole... (I'm like "what popups? What ads?)

It's a meme. See Snopes.

Totally agree.

And even if you don't say racist things, growing up in the US, the pervasive, insidious racist ideas (e.g., myths, stereotypes, falsehoods) may have infected our thinking.

I think Dr. I. X. Kendi framed it right. It's on each of us to understand what those racist ideas are, examine ourselves, and choose to fight against them not just in our own minds but everywhere.

I've never once dropped the hard n and I can't think of anyone who has even my late racist dad. That term comes from a place of bigotry against black people.

Caught on tape dropping the hard n over daughter dating a black man. Fuck that asshole.

Three years later, he had this to say...

“With this foundation, I can be accountable. I can learn from my mistakes and I can move forward,” Hogan said. “And what’s so cool now is working with the Boys Club, I have a chance to help these kids not make the mistake I made, being at the wrong place at the wrong time or saying the wrong words.”

No words on equality, changing his attitudes, nope just regrets being caught. Jfc. Prick.

What do you think I've been doing for the last eight years? Slap me on the grill already, ain't getting any more marinated than this.

Nope ... still makes no sense

If we could somehow get more progressives to start running locally and work their way up and take over the dnc maybe we would stand a chance.

Warming up the grill...

Having read the title, I think I might be having a stroke... Or really need the iced latte this morning...
