I’ve had a weird sticker phobia since I was a kid. I fucking hate any sticker touching me. Even the threat of one being stuck on me makes me want to initiate fisticuffs. I used to have the same issue with tape but I’ve managed to get over that (as long as the tape leaves me within seconds). It’s weird af.
So yeah, any sticker I get has a 99% chance of either getting tossed or never being stuck to anything lol.
It was about how predatory and evil the healthcare industry is.
Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it.
Oh he will. He knew what he was getting into. The terrorism charge is a bit much, but clearly for show. I don’t think anyone expected him not to be charged.
The key is that you like your job. That makes a world of difference if you have adhd. I like my job too, but still struggle pretty regularly. It’s a day-to-day struggle. Some days I’m really focused and motivated, and then others are a wash. If you can get tested and try out meds, it’s worth pursuing. It helps me with social situations too and keeps me on task. I communicate more clearly, and I can complete tasks with less distractions. The only issue I encounter while on them is mood change. I have to be aware of it because it can make me get short with people. Not necessarily in an angry way; it just makes me super fixated on results and getting to the point.
It’s the increase of noise in our heads. It makes diving into deep, story-rich games harder to do. It’s the reason I had 78 new games played this year alone. I skipped around on tons of stuff in the same way that my scattered brain does with everything going on.
Programmer here. Both my wife and I WFH too. I was diagnosed with adhd back in the 90s and I find it just gets worse the older I get.
The only person on your list anyone should listen to is Bernie, and the dems shoved him in the background in favor of Clinton, whom no one even likes or respects. Biden is also a senile, ancient ruling class ghoul that’s been spearheading a genocide for years, within a party that has abandoned its constituents, including the trans community.
We consider him a folk hero because we’ve spent years of our lives voting and screaming into the void to a political party that is the equivalent of an unsalted saltine cracker, and does nothing but let the fascists run wild so they can maintain their status quo (It’s also the party that just rejected AOC in favor of an old man dying from cancer). He killed a CEO of an industry that has fucked over literally everyone in America at some point or another—myself included—and denies coverage for medications that often results in death. It’s an industry that makes money when people die. If you think anyone is going to feel sorry for Brian Thompson, there’s like a million people that will disagree.
I’m in my 40s and decided years ago I wasn’t having kids. The decision making was based on me not wanting to saddle a kid with the same mental and social torment I’ve endured my entire life due to neurodivergence, as well as not wanting to subject them to a country with no future for the working class. I’m an only child so it all ends with me and I’m fine with it.
This thread is funny because it’s filled with a bunch of libs criticizing but bringing nothing of value to the table except vibes, and communists and comrades providing extensive source material to support their arguments, while avoiding low-hanging fruit like ad hominem.
If you’ve ever done any sort of research into democratic socialism, you’d quickly learn that this is the way. Criticism and self-criticism are at the forefront of cadre training and will make you a better person. If you view a person trying to provide you with educational material as your enemy while you spout off vibe-driven nonsense, you’re not getting the picture and are still hindered by your country’s propaganda, as well your own apathy and ignorance. You’re criticizing people that are passionate because they see a chance to have a better world for all working class—you included—while responding with empty words.
Unchain yourself from the criticisms of figures your country has implanted in you over your lifetime, and think in terms of ideas.
