They should unionize.

I would argue, he was bad, even.

Stop blaming Russians it’s BlueAnon shit. The conservatives can be acting like garbage all on their own.

Nah they are likely going to kill a pedestrian instead of themselves.

More evidence that cars turn everyone into entitled monsters.

It’s the year of the Linux desktop, baby. Been waiting 40 years for it. And will be waiting 40 more

Have you tried a therapist? They will both talk to you and likely help you with your feeling that actual humans don’t want to talk to you.

Larian is the only studio where I believe the hype.

This is less of an indication that Trump is losing sway with Republicans, and more of an indication that Trump isn’t the God King they hoped he would be by now.

In their ideal world, elections are suspected and they don’t face backlash for his awful policies. They are seeing that is unlikely to happen, trump doesn’t have the juice they hoped he would. As a result, we’ve seen a major swing in every special election, districts that were historically safe are now tossups.

Everyone knew Trump’s policies were going to be unpopular, they just thought he would consolidate enough power by now for it not to matter.

I think it’s a combination of a few things.

There are a lot of people who still have the mentality that ADHD is over diagnosed and is bullshit. That’s a carry over from my childhood for sure. I see so many millennials still quote boomers complaining about ADHD these days.

Secondly, the current short form social media is decaying everyone’s attention spans. As a result of this many people who may not have ADHD have some symptoms from damaging their attention span.

ADHD is likely more common than we give it credit for due to a lot of negative connotations to diagnosis, even today.

With all of that said. I am not a doctor, nor an expert. So take this with a grain of salt.

Edit: additionally, my doctor and much of what I have read said. A diagnosis is less important than understanding your strengths and weaknesses, how it impacts you and how you can build systems to remain effective in the areas you want to. So it matters less if you have ADHD or not, and matters more how you respond to the individual behaviors that lead you to believe you have it, and how you mitigate them. They did said, a diagnosis is most important if you are looking to medicate. That’s the important conversation with your doctor.

I enjoy the exploration and vibe of the game. Have a ton of hours on it, but I am always left wanting more end game. This is likely a situation where the game doesn’t want to offer what I am looking for, and that’s okay.

I play once a year, or so, to catch up on the updates and have a ton of fun every time.

Edit: welcome to Lemmy.

Someone with a PHD isn’t inherently more intelligent than other humans. They are able to put in the time and effort to become a subject matter expert in a field.

I get that it’s all buzz, but they simply don’t understand human intelligence, how can they even dream to replicate it. AGI is a myth.

My wife is currently writing her dissertation. So no shade to PHDs.

AOC talks a lot about how there is also a non-zero overlap between people who voted for her and trump in 2024.

I think a large part of it is that people are sick of the status quo. Trump, Mamdani and AOC all speak out against the status quo. The problem is trump is a lying, fascist, racist, pedo. It says though, the best way to peel voters from the right isn’t to court Liz Cheney, it’s to provide legitimate solutions to peoples problems and push back against the status quo.

I am not saying she isn’t a shitty human, but when a poor person puts shit in people’s food…jail.

When a corporation does. Stock buy backs.

We should hold everyone accountable for poisoning people.

I dream of quitting my job owning a game every day. Been in tech for 20 years. Would likely still have a gaming rig, but if I could never work on software again, and could sustain myself and my family, I would take that in a heart beat.

Piracy - independent actors, not state sponsored.

Privateering - independent actors, state sponsored.

Act of war - state actors, state sponsored.

Going rogue - state actors, not state sponsored.

I showed my wife this for the first time recently. Clearly she was not terminally online in 2004

If an ad doesn’t track me, I am not going to let it annoy me. There are so many worse methods of advertising.

And slaves.

This, but corn and you have Lemmy right now.
