"do you know who I am, officer?"

No shit, why were we listening to a bunch of pseudo-science experts and ignoring the pleas of Climate Scientists, Environmental Scientists and Geologists?

Is it because "economics" is in practice a discipline devoted to rationalizing the cruelty of the rich as somehow a natural and desirable state?

watt

It also means things like a registry of autistic and ADHD people.

Understand where we are fellow USians, whatever you have FIGHT WITH IT NOW.

Also the centrists working for these agencies are committing manslaughter by handing over this data instead of destroying it in any way they can. If you are one of these people understand once the consequences for your complacency and conformance kick in it will rob you of a restful nights sleep for the rest of your life.

A good example is ADHD. I have severe ADHD so I take meds to manage it. If I am driving an automatic car on cruise control I find it very difficult to maintain long term high intensity concentration. The solution for me is to drive a manual. The constant involvement of maintaining speed, revs, gear ratio, and so on mean I can pay attention much easier. Add to that thinking about hypermiling and defensive driving and I have become a very safe driver, putting about 25-30 thousand kms on my car each year for over a decade without so much as a fender bender. In an automatic I was always tense, forcing focus on the road, and honestly it hurt my neck and shoulders because of the tension. In my zippy little manual I have no trouble driving at all.

Are you me? I love weaving through traffic as fast as I can... in a video game (like Motor Town behind the wheel). In real life I drive very safe and it is boring af for my ADHD so I do things like try to hit the apex of turns just perfect as if I was driving at the limit but I am in reality driving at a normal speed.

Part of living with severe ADHD is you don't get breaks from having to play these games to survive everyday life, as you say it is a stressful reality in part because of this. You brought up a great point too that both of us know, when our focus is on something and activated we can perform at a high level, but accidents don't wait for our focus, they just happen, and this is why we are always beating ourselves up.

We can look at self driving car tech and intuit a lot about the current follies of it because we know what focus is better than anyone else, especially successful tech company execs.

Lie dare you claim Waymo is better than Tesla

(it is a lidar joke, Waymo has lidar sensors which makes it way safer)

lol what a cute thing to say in 2025

Yeah, you can actually make a living as a squirrel doing that, the forest is full of those jobs though as a squirrel it isn't any less stressful or frustrating just because it is valued.

However, the world we are being forced into will kill all the squirrels, make NO mistake, it is just a matter of who first.

I agree completely

I'd love to find somewhere to live that isn't the US, but I have but one skill and ADHD is not on the desired applicants field for most emigration forms.

..and also I am quite serious when I say that I will die before I am ever able to get through the paperwork of immigrating to another country even if I do possess skills that are considered valuable or there is the asylum potential for me to flee, people laugh or don't take me seriously when I say things like that but if you have the kind of ADHD I do or similar you know I am simply being soberly serious, I will die before I ever get through that much paperwork. It is as simple as that, hopefullly I survive I am not being nihilist I just sure as hell know those aren't lifeboats I can use.

"You will do what you have to survive if you have to" - people will often reflexively say in response to me to shut down conversation about survival as if I wasn't already doing that and the conversation wasn't specifically about survival becoming an order of magnitude harder for me..... No I won't that is my point, believe me when I say it, I WON'T BECAUSE I CAN'T. Help me now or face the fact that this is in some way a goodbye. You are not obligated to help me, though I will not stand you being in denial about refusing to help me even as you do so with your deflections of my existential cry to details and hopeful plans that mean nothing to me because their timelines far exceed my plausible lifeplan.

It is also frustrating how when I talk about this people so often act like I am being extreme, or reactionary or talking in existential terms that are unhelpful, and it hurts when they say it because I am not. I have lost friendships very important to be me because of the pain this causes me when friends have responded these ways repeatedly with a loving but unlistening intention. If I was where most people's kneejerk reaction thought I was when I say these things I wouldn't be here talking to you, people don't want to come to terms with the fact that they are in a war already and I am tired of it. I realize I am, I am still here, for now, save your concern for the war not for me and for fucks sake stop being in denial about being in a war ughh.

(I didn't mean "you" as in response to you as a reply, I meant general "you" as in I am talking to the not so hypothetical types of people that have and will respond to me endlessly until I pass from this earth lol)

Ok well I just upgraded my eyes to see the button as saying "Succumb" even though on the backend it still says "Subscribe".

Checkmate, programmers you LOSE

You can not enshittify that territory which has already conquered itself with bullshit - Sun Tzu of Sun Microsystems

Yes ute 'Murican Man like ute

You can have whatever front-end you want, I mean if you can't literally do this with lemmy right now it isn't because of some actual issue it is because whoever has the capacity and knowledge to do it simply has better things to do (understandable lol).

the v-owel

yes

seeing as that's every comment section and every single post.

Why shouldn't it be?

That you know of, for now
