Yeah no. That’s antisemitic bullshit you see literal Nazis spout off about.

This recent “story” was only posted in a shitty tabloid, picked up by a couple other shitty tabloids, and gullible people spread it all over social media.

Well I’m convinced! /s

Can relate. They should call it Attention Control Deficit Disorder. (Or, really, Executive Function Disorder but anyway…)

I was thinking more like a few folks go to each other’s house and finish up some things but accountability chat would be great too.

We need to form local clubs where we help each other finish shit.

It isn’t just laundry of course. This meme speaks to motivation as other folks commented.

Motivation can come from emotion either from response to external input or ones own thinking.

Motivation can also come from the brain’s executive function, where you decide to “Just do it”.

So if someone yells angrily at me to do a thing, or if I am freaking because the deadline is early upon me, or there is an emergency, or if a friend asks for help, the emotions can motivate me easily as is the case for anyone.

If I know I need to work on a boring thing today to save myself from panic later, the “just do it” part of my brain doesn’t have enough oomph to actually get me to do the thing. Like, no amount of pushing myself, self goading, self talk, nothing. It’s like trying to push a car alone with the parking brake on. I just can’t budge myself.

When I am on medication, it can still be hard but I actually feel like getting something done, I want to do it, and I am able to just will myself to do the thing. I can just be like “yeah this sucks, it’s boring but fuck it let’s do this” and then, unlike before, I actually start doing it. Which is still a marvel to me even though I have been on meds for several years. I don’t think most people find self motivation to be a novel thing to marvel over. I think most people are more able to convince themselves to do the sucky boring thing if they just set their mind to it. Being able to do that (even if difficult) is taken for granted.

Which is why ADHD people are told they are lazy or told to “just do it already”. Normal people don’t know what it is like to have a broken “just do it cortex” :)

One of Dr. Barkley’s videos explain the motivation issue really well.

And the thing with ADHD is that it is a constant, every minute of every day struggle with motivation if your line of work involves too little excitement and a lot of tedious boring stuff.

It was bad enough with me that the only way to function even close to average was to be in constant fear and panic about forgetting things, missing deadlines, getting in (more) trouble, while failing to avoid those things constantly and gaining a reputation as an unreliable lazy flake, eroding trust, and performing poorly in work, school, in relationships. The result was getting lower grades than I could have without ADHD as well as missing out on career growth, losing friends, etc.

B-but trump likes small condiment bottles! /s

Seriously. Fuck her. Fuck Trump. Fuck Kimmel. Fuck her publisher. Fuck all the bigoted assholes who support that shitstain.

The social media we really need…n’t.

Interesting. I know that Ukraine was given a bunch of handheld anti tank weapons to great effect. And I guess the Bradleys are supposed to be adept as tank killers?

I’m not sure what Russia has in the way of similar besides drones.

Why do they even need the M1 tanks?

Uh have they tried using anti mine systems to clear a path? I’m pretty sure western military doesn’t just go charging forward crossing their fingers…

Yes true if they lack appropriate air support and logistics support. Which is the case for Ukraine.

Modern western strategy is very different from that of WW2. The key is integration of air support, artillery, armor, infantry, etc. If Ukraine had superior fighter jets, to gain air superiority and anti tank and anti personnel platforms like A10 and Apache, all platforms working in sync and all backed by logistics support to keep everything operating, it would be a different story I guess.

Related, I wonder if they’re suggesting the old Russian tanks would somehow perform better than the western ones? Because as far as I know, western tanks have the best armor systems, the highest accuracy, and the ability to fire while moving. Maybe they need to adapt their tactics to make better use of their platforms?

No. Just no.

And get off my lawn, ya whippersnapper.

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

So the answer is Jesus. Y’know, because “he’s the answer to everything?”

So happy to be atheist now …

60% 5%

I would love to hear more of this wonderful fairy tale…

I know that you think you might be but I also suspect you aren’t.

“How can I find anything in all this order?!?”

"Might as well use curl | sudo bash" omg I’m ded 💀

Just for the record…

Democrats in the state legislature passed a bill in 2022 guaranteeing abortion access in state law. But that measure could be overturned or undermined by a simple majority vote in the General Assembly, or by the passage of a statutory ballot measure, which also only requires a simple majority to pass.

Initiatives 89 and 90 would go a step further by putting the nearly unfettered right to get an abortion in Colorado in the state’s constitution, which could only be overturned by a 55% vote of the people. Getting a constitutional amendment on the ballot itself is also immensely difficult.
