I’m not sure about that. In my experience, it’s how they justify everything. The ones I’ve known personally seem to genuinely believe their god wants them to inflict pain on others as part of some sort of divine warfare. They also tend to prefer the old testament, unsurprisingly
Wow, that is absolutely different from how I read it, which is:
“Stop gatekeeping ADHD just because the symptoms don’t always look like symptoms.”
I’ve been experiencing a lot of problems lately where people don’t want to take ADHD seriously. They brush it off as “oh everyone experiences that”, and even sometimes take it all the way to “ADHD isn’t real”
I’m pretty sure the post is addressing the people who do not have ADHD and who go around saying things like “that’s just called being forgetful” when someone describes their symptoms. I see it often in response to people openly questioning if they might have ADHD.
I don’t think it’s addressing people who have ADHD but don’t know it yet or are questioning.
I have been experiencing a lot more of the “ADHD is made up” mentality lately than I ever have before. Not sure why exactly, but I’m guessing OOP has been feeling it too.
See, I read “a little ADHD” and could immediately think of real examples of family members, coworkers, and even medical professionals saying the full thing:
“Everyone is a little ADHD, so don’t worry about it so much.”
Or:
“Everyone is a little ADHD, so I totally know what you’re going through.”
I remember this sentiment being floated around a lot leading up to 2016. If 2020 should have taught us anything, it’s that things can get worse in ways we won’t expect.
A lot of people knew a global pandemic was on the horizon. That much was expected.
Trump knew. He knew and threw out the established response plan his first year. We did not expect him to be able to do that much harm.
In a two party system, voting third party will only ever result in your vote being thrown out. It is taking a stand against reality for the sake of your own personal idealism.
A lot of left-aligned voters learned that lesson the hard way in 2016. If you didn’t learn the lesson, you either weren’t paying attention or your idealism is more important to you than the actual outcome of the vote.
Doing that willingly, despite (or maybe because) the rest of your side screaming at you not to fuck this up again, is absolutely a level of betrayal.
‘If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the bill would broaden the legal definition of antisemitism to include the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.’"...
I stopped being so open about the fact that I disowned my narcissistic mother, at least among strangers. I got sick of all the arguments from people who would also want nothing to do with her, if they ever had to misfortune to meet her.
She is a nasty, vindictive, obsessive person who goes out of her way to hurt people. She sees people as tools to manipulate, not as human beings. The only relationships she has ever been able to maintain are with people too afraid of her to leave.
But sure, tell me again how blood is thicker than water.
One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way....
AJJ - People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People
I knew them by their original name (Andrew Jackson Jihad) and was basically given this album as a demo from someone who knew the band.
There is something so raw and real about this album that just did not make it to anything that came later. It was like they gave up the edge that set them apart when they rebranded to make themselves more marketable.
I get it, the original name was bad. Like actually pretty bad. But I also genuinely feel like the name wasn’t the only thing they changed.
Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.
I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.
Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.
The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.
I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?
