Sadly most people can’t make enough money to survive doing that, because any job that let’s you work from home WILL requires appointments and meetings even if they’re just over zoom. And zoom appointments are about 500 hundred times worse for me shudder.

Unfortunately in real life that isn’t an option.

I mean, if you can find a way to harness it, it sounds like the perfect way to banish enemies to the shadow realm.

This and the keys thing are definitely not something the average neurotypical experiences on a day to day basis to a degree that it negatively affects their life and ability to function. Because that’s how these mental conditions work, they don’t have unique unheard of symptoms that no normal person will ever experience, they experience what neurotypical people occasionally experience, to a debilitating degree and/or at an excessive frequency. For someone with adhd this is an all consuming issue that happens every. Single. Time. You have an appointment, even if it’s for an appointment you WANTED to happen that will only bring good things. That is not normal, and if it sounds normal to you, then you may want to book an appointment with your doctor.

Better than a 7am appointment, now that will really ruin my day. Doesn’t matter if I got 8 hours sleep the night before (I definitely didn’t but let’s pretend for a moment), I’m going to be tired for the rest of the week.

The long standing definitions of the word that don’t necessitate that you can only be proud of things you’ve personally done seem like plenty good reason to me. National pride isn’t an excuse to be an asshole or a bigot or to oppress people, but national pride has never been necessary for people to exhibit that sort of behaviour. Being proud of your origins and your roots and where you’ve come from is not inherently a bad thing if you’re mindful about it. And just because you don’t personally feel proud of your own roots, and I’m sure your reasons for feeling that way are perfectly legitimate, that doesn’t mean you have to project your personal feelings towards your own roots on other people who feel differently about theirs.

There is nothing in the definitions of pride that necessitates it either, so yes including if you care about what it actually means rather than what you want it to mean. If you look up the definition of the word it includes multiple definitions of pride that do not require your own personal accomplishments or actions, and those are not new definitions. It’s extremely common in the English language for a word to have multiple meanings depending on the context they’re used in that may be connected but are not necessarily the same.

That’s a leap in logic. Pride is a personal thing no one else can dictate what you are or aren’t proud of, nor can they dictate what you’re ashamed of. Someone else being proud of their heritage in no way implies that you have to he ashamed of yours.

There’s nothing that necessitates that you can only be proud of things you have personally done.

I mean there are different types of pride. Being lgbt isn’t a decision either, yet we have Pride, because being proud of who you are is often about more than just accomplishments, for many people it’s about accepting and embracing the parts of you that you can’t change. Just because you don’t personally like that it includes that definition, it doesn’t erase the fact that that is a part of the definition and has been for a long time.

Stuff like this is part of why I dropped out of multimedia production in college, I only enjoy that stuff as a hobby for myself, doing it for other people is a creative nightmare lol

Damn. When you call after 50 days can’t you just book an appointment for 10 days later then?

I’m glad it’s not so hard to get my meds where I live, I typically get 90 days per visit but can get more if I request it for some reason (when my family doctor moved during a local doctor shortage and I couldn’t get a new one for a while, I had a doctor I saw during walk-in hours straight up give me a full year worth of prescriptions, bless her lol. I’ve also had pharmacist’s give me extensions on my meds during times where I couldn’t get in to see my doctor right away) though it’s still expensive to pay for sadly. I’m not sure if it’s dependent on where you live or what you take, but I take vyvanse which is definitely a controlled drug so I’m thinking maybe it’s a location thing (I live in Canada).

I mean people who identify as agnostic generally choose to do so specifically because they don’t see themselves as atheist. I’m agnostic myself and I definitely don’t consider myself to be atheistic any more than I consider myself to be religious.

I think “good person” is a nebulous and generally subjective term. If some people need an external factor to hold themselves accountable then as long as they willingly seek out that accountability then that’s all that matters to me ultimately, I’m not going to try and micromanage how other people reconcile with their own morality in a large uncaring universe, or act like I’m an authority on how people are supposed to be “good”, all I care about is how they treat other people at the end of the day. But a lot people use religion not as a way to hold themselves personally accountable for their actions, but rather as an excuse to get away with doing bad things and dictating how other people can live their lives without having to suffer consequences. They use it to ESCAPE accountability, and that’s when I take issue with it.

We need change period, we can’t afford to be picky about what kind.

You would think that conservatives would realize that this is a boulder that they can’t keep trying to roll uphill forever, but I suppose they’re not exactly known for their forward thinking.

If you can get away with dropping a couple of classes and still have enough credits then try to do that to lessen your workload. You can also potentially reduce it further if you request accommodations.

I’m willing to bet there are a lot of librarians who would enjoy working a night shift. I’d apply for that job.

You know we can have more than one place for reading right? Not everyone needs to read in a quiet place and would like more options.
