I hope they remember to say “Thank you!”.

So personal anecdote for this, when I was 7 I was “diagnosed” as hyperactive (which is I guess is all they knew in those days). I was prescribed Ritalin and

. So yeah that has tainted both my need to both get a proper diagnosis as well as any reasonable medication paths, I refused to even take a headache pill until my twenties.

Having recently been down the path of getting an Adult AuDHD diagnosis, with modern day understanding, and realising that medication has a paradoxical reaction with me personally, I am coming to terms with the fact that the “just pop a pill” remedy will likely never be for me, and I will have to start implementing alternative strategies.

Yeh… first off you need to remove the word “lazy” from your vocab ASAP. Second, you need to find a job tailored to your condition, a boring 9-5 will always feel like an uphill battle. You will have an initial burst of “performance” while you figure out the inner-workings of the role, and then hit a plateau where it all becomes minutia, and crash out.

Rather look to grow into a role that will always present new challenges, where you can put your “high-pressure/high-interest” needs first. I don’t know why you chose insurance adjusting as a profession, but if this generally interests you, look into the audit side of things, especially if it’s complex investigations. Retail, corporate and to a large part manufacturing will not be good fits for you.

You are “failing” because you are not in the right environment, not because you are useless.

Thank you for the write ups, I especially enjoyed your “onions” on the software reviewed!

Lemmy needs a Victoria. I wonder if Victoria would be keen to fill the role?

From what I’ve read on this, hot-dry places will get hotter and drier, with intense desertification. Places that are typically wetter will have more frequent bouts of flooding and unusual rainfall patterns, like places that traditionally had "balmy’ weather might experience sudden 40day+ continuous heavy rainfall.

Also, even though on a whole the world average temperature will increase, cold weather will also tend towards the extremes with longer, colder periods.

Actually, the word is derived from Old French and means “town dweller”.

Ermagerd, state owned enterprises are state funded, how insightful from Mr Musk via Xitter! How many CEOs in SOEs receive multi-million dollar stock option handshakes though?

Also manually verify your access tokens, even with PATs their interface is really janky and some repos might have weird permissions.

Reverse psychology, brokey can’t afford them anymore and is “owning the libs” by getting them to send him freebies.

What is the drinks offering like at this bar in the middle, and can I take an Uber there?
