@thor i always was the quiet kid too, but barely finished school here because i never (aside few exceptions because the teacher was good) could pay attention. i managed to then get access to university, but failed there because they converted to the batchelor/master stuff a few years earlier which consisted of 95% sitting through lectures and big tests at the end of the semester. In the few seminars and projects i did universally get good grades. so maybe it's more like SCT. the thing is, i can never concentrate on stuff if it's boring or i don't see the point. if it's interesting i can get into the hyperfocus flow thing which also feels really pleasant, maybe because it's what is missing. garden stuff also is nice because i have direct results and feel somehow "connected" if that's the right word.

@thor i don't think it would help me much. i'd get benefits if it was a disability, but for that you have to be thoroughly broken. everybody else is just put on pills.

@CSB don't complain about not being able to leave twitter and how bad twitter is at the same time then :)

@thor
> i just realised i didn’t meet my own standards. which aren’t all too unreasonable. manage to finish college? fail. manage to keep a job? fail. try to improve? fail. etc.

reading your writings on adhd and related, i get the feeling that i might have something like it. on the other hand that diagnose wouldn't help me much, other than that i could put a label on my issues (which are sometimes awkwardly close to what you describe..).

@CSB
> I can’t abandon Twitter because some folks in AI area are only on Twitter nowhere else

that's no reason. if you want twitter to have less power, quit twitter. you'll get your information on other ways, and it will probably be of higher quality.

@Simplicity_teal@mastodon.social , not boozing/drugs to fix things

@mhoye i bet it doesn't include breastfeeding, because millenia of evolution can't be as good as Formula™️

people are so toxic when it comes to demanding CWs on everything and being super passive aggressive when you dont

1) mastodon is not the fediverse. i understand english-speaking mastodon has a specific culture that caters to it, but there are other cultures on fedi. I've made the case for pleroma using CWs and tried to normalize that as much as I can, but most pleroma folks don't even see "CW" in their subject field and don't hide it the same way Mastodon does, because it's a different platform
2) you can politely ask someone to CW something without it being an expectation that you need to vilify someone for not meeting
3) the world doesn't revolve around you. we can do nice things for each other and you can make the case for other fedi cultures to normalize CWs but to act like you're entitled to other people's courtesy is absurd when no other social media platform has a culture for CWs the same way as Mastodon does

please touch grass

Reminder that copyright bullshit is nothing new: the estate of Bram Stoker sued the fuck out of the producers of Nosferatu (1922) and had all copies destroyed (luckily a few private prints survived)

Its not an option because it is a meme that never was.

The claim that women never worked before 1965 is just a fairy tale that feminists tell themselves. In truth working class mum always worked. As did middle class and upper class mum.

The house wife as a phenomenon was a strange development in the mid 19th century that accelerated in the early post war years
@Aether @TheVeryLutheranHousewife

Exactly! There's no retvrn option which includes women in the kitchen their whole lives, and we should stop pretending that it makes sense as an option.
