I’m not the kind of ‘trendy’ bipolar, although my cunt of an aunt believes I have ‘convinced’ myself of that, despite being to the nuthouse twice (50 days total) and several psycho-shinks having diagnosed me with several other mental disorders; the very first nuttyness I got diagnosed with was of course, ADD/ADHD.

Getting tested and diagnosed at any age can be of extreme help.
You don’t don’t want to find yourself in a situation like a job where you know you are capable of fulfilling your requirements,but are unable to fully do so without accommodations. Accommodations, once established, further extend the range of your daily efforts. BUT, they take a diagnosis and time, so start sooner rather than later.
Worst comes to worst, you find out you’re not autistic and can have help with your other issuers.
Well if they would think more than 1 financial quarter ahead of things, they’d realize that they will lose customers to competition, thereby ruining both device sales and data gathering profits.
What shocks me, and I do mean shocks me, is what this line of thinking implies. Is the data google (tries to) gather from me really worth more $ than, say, an average of 350$ each year? Cause thats just 1 phone every 2-3 years and I’m looking into a tablet, and wearables eventually. I refuse to believe any knowledge about me is unique and valuable enough to beat that, and it seriously confuses me.
All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
Ugh, I spent entirely too much time arguing this when I was still in school, ironically the most time we spent arguing with men that were more than twice my age and felt way too strongly about this.
This is the right answer and I will not be taking any questions: 🙃
If it comes as a set with matching bottoms(or a gold chain) = Tracksuit/Sweatsuit
Light single layer + hood = hoodie
Light (single layer) + zipper/buttons + no hood = Jacket
Light (single layer) + knitted = sweater or sweater jacket if it opens
The other lighter layers with no hardware are just pullover
Well, with quantum internet, your browser history will exist in a superposition of both cleared and full of porn, each moment when showing someone your screen will be filled with tension. The only way out of that tension will be either to collapse the function by butt fucking, or inquire the state of their browser history.
For some reason I’ve just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.
Eh, people only fawn over him because RDJ is just perfect in the role, and in a way marked his comeback from some really public struggles.
Chris Evans is great (and a huuunk!) but he’s was/is much younger and plays the role of Government-BrandedHeroWhoIsBasicallyJustSoldierWhoAteHisWheaties.
Chris does the job well, but I mean, RDJ kills, and IMHO is a massive reason marvel got to continue making movies.
I don’t need Google’s help keeping my phone from getting spam calls.
I’ve had the tiny modicom of mindfulness required to keep myself from sticking my number everywhere. I can’t believe this isn’t curriculum for public schooling at this point. Spam calls should and could be a problem that dies with the earlier generations of cell phone users.
Part of the issue is the government’s doing yes, but, the lack of laws protecting Cell phone users from spam calls does NOT mean we’ll always have bunches of spam calls.
I very, very, rarely get spam calls. I’m talking like… maybe one every 2-3 months.
I’ve had this same number since 2006, so its not like its new. I’ve just always avoided putting my number into forms/profiles of any kind until I’ve actually weighed the need to do so. Sure, its meant that I have declined many conveniences and have occasionally been made fun of or “missed out” over the years, though I’d say less so as I’ve aged.
I just treat my phone number with the same guardedness as I do my routing and accounting info.

I was exactly where you’re at about a year ago friend.
What ended up happening?
I did come out
I was rejected
I did lose my job (not due to bn trans tho)
I was hospitalized
I was kicked out of family’s house
I did become homeless
But in the days since?
I don’t live a pretend life anymore
I don’t live in ignorant/hostile areas anymore
I don’t have anyone left to hide from
I don’t overeat as much anymore
I don’t use tobacco as much anymore
I am on significantly less medication
I have less depressed days
I have met a wonderful partner
And things continue to be on the up and up. I’m soooo close to being housed finally (Would appreciate anyone’s help who can), and I’m employed, and on HRT, and just better.
Trust me, even if it looks like things can and will get worse, you’ll pull through. And, if its safe enough to do so, living as the person you truly are makes life sooooo much better, even when the current situation isn’t.
I mean, its effective in its spread and ability to gain momentum at every opportunity, so its benefiting a select few at the moment, but…
Just like cutting costs and underfunding upkeep of a business “makes” money until there is nothing left, if conservativism reaches a broad enough population like it intends to, it will eventually backfire. Cause unlike a company you can just leave/divest from, you can’t just up and leave the world (yet) for greener pastures.
Hopefully we don’t have to wait until the earth has nothing left to give, and instead finally eat enough of the rich that they can’t make a comeback… hopefully
