A new wheel that works is really damn difficult.

Yeah, I really wish they wouldn’t, but there are honestly not a lot of options unless they re-engineer the wheel.

They can get the cost down in they advertise to you just before you die.

Super sketchy Russian software.

Hot German potato salad is a thing.

There’s always an xkcd for every forum thread topic.

It’s a moronic hobby.

A legal “Act of God” is a term of art in legal documents, though - usually found in a force majeure clause. I don’t think you need to have a God to have an “Act of God”.

It’s just a good portion of our legal code and its terms are derived from English law from several hundred years ago.

I remember my grandmother who lived to age 98 told me about an “all-day sucker” - basically fill a spoon in peanut butter, and when it’s done, fill it up again. Repeat all day. Can you tell she lived during the depression?

I didn’t think much of it as a kid. Thought it was a pretty good idea. Then I learned about food sanitation practices, and reconsidered.

The Church of Christ is much more culty and insular than other denominations. I almost lost some friends to them, but they managed to escape.

I almost feel there is only one state: Pennsylvania. It seems like it’s the lynchpin to victory.

I just looked. Do they not ship to the U.S.?

I’m not OP, but I wanted to wish you good luck.

I was diagnosed in my 50s after my parents had passed, so I can’t do what you want to do. But one thing I’ve found with a neurospicy brain is - there are bad things and good things associated with it. For example, I am really good at learning new things, so I know a little bit about many subjects (and admittedly deep knowledge about some things that don’t matter very much). But that can be a marketable skill.

Finding techniques that work for you can help minimize the bad stuff, while maximizing the good stuff. For example, me making physical lists helps me to unburden my brain and concentrate on other tasks. Checking off tasks when complete is a physical reminder of doing stuff and gives me a feeling of accomplishment.

It’s the only brain you’ve got. You’ll need to find out what works for you, and write that shit down so you don’t forget! 😎 But on your talk to yourself and others, and to that, I think it’s important to frame both the bad and the good.

Best of luck to you!

This is me, too. Undiagnosed ADD until my 50s. No H, probably like you. Misunderstood for decades. It was really hard for my parents, but they had no idea and are now passed.

Learning about it made everything click about my difficult life, but made me proud of what I had accomplished in spite of ADD. And now I have a toolbox of methods I can use to recognize my ADD as it is happening, and help counteract it. I also have medication to help.

I think one of the things I needed to know is, ADD / neurospiciness can also be an asset at the workplace. One of the marketable I excel at is learning new things. Whenever I am given a new skill to learn, I dive into it passionately. I love learning new stuff! So that fits perfectly with IT, which is constantly moving forward with new technology.

And with that I’m currently working on a late-life Masters degree in IT. So, happy ending, I guess. Find your niche!

Still both from automobile infrastructure. /c/fuckcars bleeding into every Lemmy…

So, what you’re telling us is, they’ve been lying for decades?

Replacing the CEO with A.I. will also save “millions and millions of dollars”.

And it smells bad, too. Gotta keep it realistic.
