"I only got so many fucks to give. I'll pass on this one."
This is a healthy mentality... So long as it's not something essential...

Stop delaying that thing you need to do. You can't pass on it.

I give 1% to my union. My pay is ~10% better than it would be if we didn't have it, and management gets in huge trouble if they mistreat workers. And by trouble, I mean they fired a manager when they scheduled a worker over their lunch break.

Headline 3 years from now: "Huffing Steam Deck vent fumes linked to increased risk of cancer" (Only when done habitually)

Ads: "Have you or a loved one huffed Steam Deck fumes? You may be entitled to compensation."

Valve: Goddamnit. You fucking addicts couldn't stop huffing the vents. WE FUCKING TOLD YOU! It's safe for normal usage. NORMAL usage. Not heroine addict levels of usage!

Mom: undiagnosed ADHD
Dad: undiagnosed ASD
Me: I get a new special interest every month, but they typically involve building.

Phone makers: hmm this isn’t selling. Guess we’ll only make phones that look like and do the exact same things as every other phone.

What? I don't do good under pressure. Oh, maybe Under Pressure... hmm... nah... I mean it's good, but thematically isn't matching 100%.

I looked for a diagnosis. Called lots of providers and, in summary, they only providers that could accept me were expensive and lengthy. I don't have light or sound sensitivity (which isn't required) so I don't need accommodations. I don't have trama and have worked through most of my issues so I don't need therapy. There's objectively no benefit to getting a diagnosis for me other than claiming I have ASD. And there's some negatives, especially if traveling abroad. So yeah, with that, I don't want a professional diagnosis. I did lots of research and checked more than enough boxes in the DSM-5 to validate myself. Others' validation isn't worth a couple thousand dollars and hours of consultation over a year. If I needed support, it might be worth it, but personally, I feel I'm in a good place.

I was searching for why I am different and found that it had a name and there are other who have similar experiences that I can relate to. That's good enough for me.

I get gatekeeping and that people may be spreading false information or making the community look bad. Call them out then. Otherwise, an educated self-diagnosis isn't harming anyone. Let people be at peace with their sense of self.

Not to mention they get up to 3x electoral college voting power depending on how empty their state is.

A significantly larger chunk of my taxes are being used to subsidize military killing machines for wars outside my country. I got complaints, but a library ain't one.

In my first CS class, the professor announced an extra credit project due at the end of the semester. It was to create a formatted terminal calendar given a year from user input. I finished it after learning about condition but before I learned about classes... or functions... or loops... or searching the internet... partially. I searched how leap years worked, but didn't bother to search for code (Stack Overflow didn't exist yet)

Anyway, long ass program with each month hard-coded with 7 possible calendars for each month depending on the first day of the week. Lots of copy and paste. Professor was speechless, but accepted it.
