The worst is Discord. It doesn't show up in search engines and somehow you have to know that is where you are "supposed" to go for help. Privacy issues aside, I am fine with discord for playing games with friends or big conventions/LAN parties, but I don't understand why anyone would use it as a forum.

1. Leave the threads up, probably locked. Don't erase history.
2. I wouldn't start on wholesale topic bans just yet. This should be an absolute last resort and this will probably do more harm than good.
3. Possibly create some extra categories for titles so users can filter it out if they don't want to hear about it. Instance name of the potential PTB? Not sure.

My suggestion for this topic right now is to get everyone together that needs to and talk/scream/yell about it in private. I think everything has been said publicly at this point and the reading comprehension has gone down the toilet. The amount of misunderstandings, blanket downvotes, pettiness, bad assumptions, baiting and finger pointing is getting ridiculous. Have your damn say and find a conclusion, even if said conclusion is 'fuck you' from each person.

For shit like this in the future? If it comes to it, it is far better to lock first, talk to the person, and then unlock it. We can tell each other all day to be an adult, but it isn't that simple. There will always be some big event that floods the community at some point or another. This community practically begs for it. It will eventually be filed into PTB history.

That is a kind of shitty response from World and seems a little condescending to me, but tone is difficult. You are welcome here and I would rather you stay and interact with the rest of us than leave the fediverse. Your voice matters and I didn't have the same outlets when I was your age.

I get really frustrated trying to do math, "in my head". I didn't realize for a long time that the way I was trying to do it isn't what everyone does. I can only do math on paper, so I am literally drawing on imaginary paper in the air while desperately trying to keep track of things to only have it slip away like sand and then starting over. I still do subtraction/addition like I was taught in elementary where you cross out the number and write the remainder or whatever above it.

Trying to do that on imaginary paper and keep track of the slashes and tiny numbers is torture. Especially when the damn paper keeps moving, colors fading out, and I can't just make the number appear. No. I have to mentally draw the strokes of each digit like I am using a pencil. Oh, and my handwriting sucks, so I write numbers really slow. Have I randomly mentioned I fucking hate white boards? Now I have. I have nothing to leverage my hand or arm on.

Basically, trying to keep all of the noise out my head or at least on a similar task is really hard at times. It is like being in a crowded restaurant and each sound gets the same amount of attention. Every step, clink, swish, creak, conversation, air movement, cars outside, all gets an equal amount of attention. Imagine a flat equalizer in a sense.Your brain is supposed to be able to filter that shit out so you can talk to the person in front of you. We don't get that luxury. Medication is a damn miracle. It isn't perfect, but having even a fraction of peace in my head is enough.

Is there even a remotely comfortable place for people to even talk about subjects like this without it devolving into "not all X" arguments and completely missing the point? I basically can't talk about any of my day to day experiences with sexism without fearing the majority of lemmy users. I shouldn't be fucking afraid dammit.

Those feels. I hate all the time I "waste" due to indecision or distractions, but I still have to feel like I had free time or I will be depressed. It is even worse when things like work or other external factors that I did NOT plan for get in the way. Dopamine...where art thou?

This is why I get frustrated if I have to work late. I still need 4 hours or so of downtime, which means that if I am up until 1-2am and can't wake up in time for the stupid morning standup, too damn bad. I am privileged that I can do that sometimes, but I have also worked 12-14 hour days for weeks on end at other jobs and even eating seemed like a waste of time.

PS: I do know that you have hunger issues Stamets. If you were in my area, I would feed the hell out of you.

I am throwing down the gauntlet. Let's do this.

The worst is trying to explain at how necessary the medication is. Having to explain that I cannot work without it

Yay! Now we have our own Support Canadian.

stamets.exe has unexpectedly quit. Please restart the brain.

Notepad++. You don't even have to "save" the file! When I used Windows that is pretty much a requirement and it makes an excellent scratch pad.

Obligatory ADHD Storytelling:

I feel like there are more important issues than obsessing over genitals and monopoly money for the entertainment industry. Maybe slow your roll on murdering people on the other side of the world? How about here too? Improve infrastructure? Housing? Enshrine abortion as a fucking legal right? Wages? Stop erasing the achievements of women and your crusade against dei? I could go on, but my life is already a giant mess this week.

I always have parking considerations when suggesting places to go. I hate not getting parking instructions. I am perfectly content to park on the street as long as I can find it without stress.

If your backup cam has the little lines that curve when you turn the steering wheel, that will help. Otherwise, practice. Can maybe even get in and out of the vehicle a couple of times to get a good sense of space. Worst case you mess up and have to readjust a couple times.

I was on vacation and ended up joining the one that was legit outside my hotel. I will have to join the next one in my hometown. My biggest thought was it needs to happen every single week.

My understanding though (US) is the DEA limits the raw ingredient supply with no regard to the demand by patients. The drug manufacturers get what they get whenever the DEA decides they are allowed to have it.

It sucks having the government decide whether I get my medication each month. It sucks having to submit to drug tests to prove I am taking my meds and not hoarding/selling them. I have a giant stack of paperwork from formal testing I had, which I had to pay for out of pocket because insurance doesn't cover it. It was something like 600-800 dollars. That is enough dammit. I shouldn't have to live in fear that my medication will be taken away or refilled late because I can't even request my refill until the last minute.

Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn't help when you travel constantly. I don't travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don't understand.

No matter which instance name is after stamets, you will always be my favorite.

The other is the soulless gas station employee on nightshift.

No idea if it will help, as I am going to try it too, but we may need to put our keys and wallet in the good place before going to sleep when we have important things the next day. The only way I ever get to the airport on time is to:

1. Pack early (try...)
2. Put all electronics in a pile on or near luggage/backpack, charging
3. Put all the other extremely important shit on top as well. Keys, wallet, etc.
4. Lay out my clothes for tomorrow, so I just have to wake up and put them on.
5. Stress about missing my flight and sleep like shit.

The only other thing that helps me is Tile, so I can at least narrow down which room my keys or wallet is in. The little speaker can get kind of damaged on the wallet one, but the BT is fine.
