"semi-aquatic mammal build"

That's one way to insult someone as a stranded whale.

Couldn't find anything in terms of medication in their blog. But then, people who are in a very structured life and in the right position that suits our shortcomings can get quite far.

It might take a little more than that to update the Judiciary Act of 1869 that defined the current number of justices on the court.

There are good reasons to increase the size though, mainly it being one of the smallest Supreme Courts in the world.

Actually Russia is better off here, I don't think Putin has ever been convicted of any crimes.

pro-lifers will have enough to fight, just last week a teenage mother to be died after she was didn't get the medical attention she needed https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/01/nevaeh-crain-death-t...

They just have to re-align their mindset a little bit.

Most dysfunctional families don't realize how dis-functional they are, it's just the norm for them, possibly over several generations. I grew up in a multi-generational house with grandparents and gruncles. There's always someone at home. Yet, one year in primary school it took my mom months until she figure that I had to go to detention every Friday because I didn't do my homework during the week. Took me 42 years to figure that was because of my ADHD...

A good balance is needed when raising children, give them the safety to confide in you, the trust that they can rely on your support and the encouragement to take on the world. Half the time parents and their child spend together over the child's lifetime is in the first 12 years. That's not a lot of time to raise a child and having my daughter for nine years now I can only recommend to spend much more time with them when they are little.

PS: I love you brother's YT channel

Might be mistaken, but isn't it usually the bigger, urban and slightly more Democratic-leaning precincts that take a longer time to report?

a ban on newly created anon and throwaways would slow these threads down. Also, too many Elon fanbois.

Don't you worry, even with the large number of parties in the Austrian Nationalrat, German Reichstag or even in the Dutch's Tweede Kamer you still have people who are unhappy with all of the parties.

Well, the size of the Supreme Court is not fixed at nine. A future Democratic president might just work to increase it to give it more balance.

Trump 2016 got reasonable republicans into his cabinet that prevented worse, his new team (anyone seen his old VP Mike Pence?) will be unchecked and unhinged.

Have I missed the news where Kamala Harris was convicted on a few dozen federal charges or ordered to pay 80+ million to someone she sexually abused? There's lies and then there are lies that can get you into prison.

"Seems to be guilty" is a very different thing than a Fortunate Son who is an adulterer who was found guilty on 34 charges relating to the hush money, his two defense suits against Carroll are under appeal and who knows what sort of things happened when he hang out with his buddy Epstein. Jack Smith is still fighting to get the insurrection case going. America voted a criminal into office.

Migrants then because Trump told you it's the last time you have to vote.

Depression as Gödel did suffer from and developed massive anxiety after the murder of Moritz Schlick, deserves a little more respect and above all help. Calling him "completely mental" doesn't help at all.

An e-car is still a car and a more environmentally friendly public transport or bicycle.

"who habitually lies"

More like a Fortunate Son who's an adulterer, felon and burried his ex wife somewhere in the backyard.

Worst-case we finally find out what Gödel's loophole is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_Loophole

There's a interesting middle ground, programmable button that is also a rotary button that gives feedback, the KeWheel by KEBA. I'm sure that are similar solutions from other manufacturers.

Know what my untreated ADHD (not for long I hope, finalized my diagnosis last week) costs me every single week because I don't work as much as I should be able to? 1000 Euros if not 1500. Every single week. I have enough of working as a freelance developer with a minimal amount of work getting done and my bank account in constant overdraft. Gimme meds.

I second watching Russ Barkley PhD on Youtube. Inspiring that he still covers the topic in retirement because he views it as the most underdiagnosed disorder in psychology despite being so easy to be treated. In regards to meds, this is stupidity and avoidable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRPeU1DYOWA

ADHD can be found not by name but by symptoms and descriptions of patients over at least the last two centuries. Don't blame it on modern technology.

> I now understand why I had it in the first place. It was induced. And it was dysfunctional parenting. I am still trying to distill precisely what factor is inducing the illnesses.

You realize that their parenting is likely to have been like that because they have ADHD as well? Financial troubles, drug abuse, forgetting or neglecting your kids and all sorts of spontaneous decisions come with being a parent with ADHD. You won't be able to break this cycle if you don't own your ADHD properly.

> > Being explicitly upfront about your administrative weaknesses early in relationships

> This sounds like a Good Thing, and I'm sure for some people it's a good idea, but in my experience, frontloading this sort of stuff tends to backfire. The problem is that most[0] people don't know how to deal with special needs[1]

This won't count for relationships you can't choose (like in an office) but I don't think I'm an outlier my those around me, but with ADHD you are more likely to have friends and even intimate relationships who also have ADHD or are from an ADHD family. They won't think that you are weird because they already know this behaviour quite well.

> The "paradoxical" effects of ADHD stimulant-type medications is the most direct indicator that this is indeed the case: taking a CNS stimulant normally causes more arousal, agitation, and activity in NT individuals. > But in ADHD individuals, CNS stimulants up-regulate frontal lobe activity, which manifests as a relaxant, since the frontal lobe is doing a better job of regulating and stabilizing the rest of the brain. Executive function also improves considerably.

Hence the MASSIVE problem of undiagnosed ADHD that can lead into drug abuse just like with my brother who got hooked on speed and heroin, even built a small business on that, not that that was any good in front of the judge...

Estimates on the drug addicted prison population having ADHD are way above the general population, just think they could have been kept from getting into drugs, committing crimes etc if only they had been diagnosed and treated early enough! Same for people who suffer from depression.

I bet you I'm much more lazy than you :-)

But I don't do it purpose, none of us with ADHD do once we loose interest in a project. That's why we keep skipping from one project to the next to keep the thrill up. It looks horrible in my CV.

> One very common struggle I see is when they take internet advice that tells them it’s okay to offload their own struggles on to other people. Unfortunately this blog gives similar advice:

Sorry, but this is necessary though. Russell Barkley (he has a great Youtube channel) suggests a strict regime for children with ADHD (even with medication) and even as adults will need to inform those closest to us because we work differently. I don't want a free pass, what I need is someone giving me tasks that I can break into smaller pieces and get a feedback loop going for those so I won't loose track or get distracted. Diagnosis is an important step, but it has to follow for most with medication and for all with psychosocial work which can have negative side-effects.

Regarding rewrites, I'd love to have my code in such a shape that I could just copy over the business logic, maybe even put it into an independent library. The rest is just a user/api interface after all.

I'm working with Rails for 17 years now, still love it and still prefer it even for the frontend. It give you all the options to separate your code without the head of your files becoming a unnecessary long list of `includes` like I see in the angular app I have to work on for a client. I don't see a disadvantage in splitting logic and markup for the frontend, it allows you to test the logic independently and normally when you hunt a bug you should know whether it's in the markup or the logic. Tracking down a bug thus becomes more easy.

I've written my fair share of far too long ruby methods, 200 lines and more, but those are truly my fault. With a more granular unit test regime those can be prevented.
