That’s right, why should people take medical advice from you, when as head of Health and Human Services you can force it on them!

Broke my heart when my daughter at age 9 or 10 said one day that science was for boys. She went to a very progressive elementary school, I’m a software dev, and have no idea where that came from.

It also involves the fantasy that you and your freedom buddies will survive a serious encounter with US armed forces because you have camos and tactical boots.

Woah, did Jesus actually say that (AFAWK)? Because I knew a Christian Scientist who said the whole religion’s view of Jesus was that he wasn’t a god, he was “a perfect man”. That quote sounds like he was literally disclaiming this.

On the plus side, you’re eloquent and express yourself very well. Any interest in writing/editing as a career or side hustle?

Any doctor, nurse practitioner, etc. should be able to give you a screening test - in my case it was a 20-question form that said at the bottom if you answered Yes to more than 2 questions you might have some form of ADHD. I answered Yes to all but two lol.

They should have been mailed by now… I’ll check on it!

I don’t even evaluate the random spots where I leave things, I just somehow honestly believe I’ll remember even though this completely contradicts a lifetime of actual experience.

The effect I’ve noticed is that after searching in vain for some important object, when I finally give up and decide to go get a new one or make do with something else, within a second or two of making that decision I’ll look across the room and look right at the lost thing. This happens so amazingly often, to me it’s just normal. My theory is that part of my mind knows where the thing is but withholds the information because it’s being entertained by the search. Then when I resolve to do something different it means the game is over, so it lets the information come forward. But I’m not a brain scientist.

It’s too bad we can’t make being a fucking idiot illegal, but then there wouldn’t be anywhere near enough prisons.

Lots of OCD trolls here, who will challenge your use of any word they think isn’t the perfect word. Just ignore them.

Are you on TaskRabbit?

Do you and your buddy arrive in town, get temporary dishwasher jobs, befriend locals and solve their personal problems, then leave town in your Corvette with background music?

My wife (American) needs subtitles to understand British shows.

Didn’t work out for ya, did it? The weird thing is when people think incompetent business decisions are one more reason to hate AI.

Nice! Fark still exists but I only look at it a couple times a year now. It’s like if there was a single reddit sub or lemmy community called “Miscellaneous”. Weird Fark memory - for photoshop contests I made a hobby of putting Wil Wheaton into images.

Isn’t everybody sort of already banned from being in the sewer system?

Mister Hankey has entered the chat.

Slightly related, a friend of mine got fired from being manager of a Bed, Bath & Beyond because he followed a shoplifter out through the door and confronted her on the sidewalk. Apparently that was against company policy. This is after he had worked for them for years. Moral: don’t work in retail.

Bond. James Bond.
