Unofficial/self diagnosis helped me in my personal relationships.
I mentioned to my partner that a doctor friend thought I had ADHD, and it really helped them not take some of my most annoying traits personally.
I get where you’re coming from with needing an official diagnosis for work accommodations, but none of your friends are really going to demand to see a doctor’s note, so why would personal relationships depend on an official diagnosis?
It’s all just the new testament. Before you fuck with poor people and nail them to a cross, make sure they aren’t just slumming it, and actually have a very powerful father.
I mean it’s worth remembering that some of the poorest areas in the country are in London. https://citymonitor.ai/community/uk-census-tower-hamlets-has-the-worst-child-poverty-rates-in-the-uk
Basically, the government doesn’t give a shit about poor people regardless of where they live. They just want to ensure that hedge fund managers living in Surrey can commute into their London office with a minimum of inconvenience.
I’m fairly sure most people don’t assume they know why someone said it’s blue, they just don’t care.
People say things to make conversation. It often fails to make sense, but you can just roll with it instead of autopsy-ing the conversation.
You’re normally expected to have lifelong symptoms, but that doesn’t mean you had to do badly in school.
You can constantly daydream, lose stuff and turn up late for everything and still ace tests, at least early on. It gets harder to get away with this later in life.
Not these ones. They’re automatically generated so the computer that creates them will already know what the string is meant to be. You don’t need human annotations to use these kinds of capcha as training data.
This is just a road block. They’re designed to inconvenience spammers so you get less spam to delete.
Teams defaults are pure scummery.
No, don’t alert me on a Sunday night with notifications that I might have missed over the last two days.
I tried using some but they’re all equally shit.
That would be fine, if people weren’t using LLMs to write code, or to do school work,
But they are. So it’s important to write these articles that say “if you keep using a chainsaw to drive nails, here are the limitations you need to be aware of.”
Work socks as well.
They’re socks that go with construction boots. Basically the same as hiking socks but cheaper.
It’s super hard to get involved as a UI person. If you’re a developer, you can just rock up to a project and fix bugs, and if you follow the coding style they’ll probably get accepted.
If you want to successfully contribute as a UI person you have to convince a bunch of developers that you know what they should be doing better than they do. It basically never happens.
Good luck suing a cop. The courts have consistently ruled that they can basically do what they like and you can’t sue them for shit.

Both. It’s like the saying “Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.” (With the explanation that if you keep poking it, it’ll disintegrate) also taught me how to cook fish as well as realpolitik.
The fish advice was most useful.
Ok but if you’re at a bus stop, and the bus is just coming round the corner into sight, you can say “this bus” even though it’s not parked up yet.
Same thing with this Friday. If it’s close enough to be in mind, you can use this.
They actually hired an Australian to copy it for them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Levido
Yes, it makes it much worse. It is absolutely a serious plan and you should worry about it.

They’ve created substantial policy for Regan, Clinton, and Trump. You should also pay attention to the shear amount of money they have. They spend 80 million plus in a year on lobbying.
He’s the president of the fucking Heritage Foundation. That makes him the head of one of the most influential political organisations in the country.
That’s much more important than what his PhD was on.
It’s very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can’t drag another window on top of it.
It’s a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I’m actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can’t drag any other windows on top of it.
Don’t know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.
You don’t need to bribe a judge.
You need enough money to have a team of lawyers grind through the evidence and find what’s been hidden.
Compare this to having a public defender with limited resources. They basically have to trust the DA’s office.
What’s depressing about this is the DA’s office is so used to getting away with this shady shit, that they can’t do their job properly even when they know they’re under a higher level of scrutiny. Think of all the average Joes that have been fucked over by these guys.
Rich persons justice isn’t really about bribing your way out of things. It’s about having enough resources that you can force the system to behave, for you, in the way that it’s meant to.
This is instead of the usual process that just steamrolls over every poor bastard that ends up in court.
