I had a former co-worker pull this "compromise" card when I was talking about how maybe minimum wages should be a living wage. He said "both sides should just come to a middle ground". Like bruh, you know that "compromise" would be literally not a living wage, right? You get that, right?

Can we just throw the whole country away and start over?

I might do the headphone treatment today. I was listening to it yesterday in the car just because and my car speakers leave a lot to be desired.

I haven't creatively written in a long time but I can sub to that comm. I wanna start writing light theory related stuff right now but don't have the time. Maybe fiction short stories with socialist overtones might be fun.

Absolutely. It's my go-to protest punk band. I was watching some live footage and I really wanna see them perform at some point.

Every time I listen to them, it makes me want to write poetry and scream lol. I do need to give Panorama another listen tho.

Any album by La Dispute's Rooms of the House on back will pretty much never get a skip from me. Anti-Flag is also essentially my living anthem in band form.

I knew quite a few of the traits but wasn't aware of the categorizing of them like you did. The first almost describes my wife to a T but she also has a few from the second one as well.

Thanks for the time to write this up and please keep being awesome! Gonna share this with her.

No fucking joke man. I think you are a dev so like, imagine being in a flow state, working 2+ hours on something, super focused, then BAM! phone rings and it's some field tech trying to figure out why our software won't run on Ubuntu 18 when we switched support to Ubuntu 20 last year.

On the flipside, I just spent 3 hours uninterrupted, working on a persona project, so hey...

It’s one of the main reasons why it’s still called ADHD even though Attention Deficit Hyperactivity isn’t an accurate description of the actual underlying mechanics of the disorder

I really feel you on this aspect. My wife is getting diagnosed with ADHD, and I would haven never pegged her for having it but she's super forgetful and loses her keys and phone all the time. After some TikTokking and talking with her therapist it's pretty much a sure thing that she has it. I have a friend that has pretty severe ADHD and he fidgets a lot and has other traits but wife and friend have virtually no shared traits. I think it's currently assumed that ADHD is also a spectrum, right?

They changed their comment because when I made my comment, the person I replied to said something to the effect of wanting to interview OP for his paper he is writing in mentally disabled people.

The person below me was commenting on the same original text because the word "interview" was used.

But you probably already know how techbro CEOs feel about solidarity...

Especially after the whole Twitter thing. At my last job we were a bit more cohesive, but our boss was pretty laid back too. I don't think I've experienced "code monkey" culture so much.

So the good news, if I got a diag, is that I am in the States(never thought I'd say that is good news lol). Really wish I would have known about this like a decade ago.
