Oh jeez. It’s been so long since I’ve seen that thank you.

But 4real tho my marriage was a hollow shell and a cruel charade

I don’t know what this is referring to but I felt that deep inside my chest

It didn’t get recognized in me until 10th or 11th grade. My grades started to slip fast when the ways I adapted to school stopped helping me keep up.

Arguably, if it’s not causing behavioral concerns, educational concerns, emotional concerns, social concerns, or physical concerns… It’s not really a condition is it?

I think it’s the other part of the picture that didn’t catch my attention

They’re trying to use fear to spin a story against this guy. They’re going to use fear when telling them about lying under oath.

They’re going to use fear the whole way, it’s their only weapon.

It’s why they are so afraid. A lot of us see through it, and see their real fear.

So I have assisted in the development of a beige box where the magic happens. I can 100% confirm, it’s magic, and it happens in the beige box. Item goes in, information comes out. It doesn’t make any sense.

“Tell 'im to suck a lemon.”

It’s because the modern day wealth disparity has no equivalent in human history, at least to my knowledge. Maybe slavery - but they were at least valuable enough to shelter and feed.

Elon Musk shows in this just how much worse he is than robber barons.

Heh, one of the other things I’ve gotten really good at since I was a kid is describing what it’s like in my mind.

One of the best ones recently was a spiderweb. Every thought is connected to every other thought. Even on my meds, I’m capable of connecting extremely dissimilar things - the ocean and blueberries are linked because of the color blue. The difference is on my meds I can choose the strand of the web to follow, rather than diverge from talking about the ocean to talking about fruits.

Oh, I’m well aware of that. The part that grabbed my attention is that it appeared these were migrant workers brought in to Brazil.

Essentially the cheap Chinese factories are diversifying where they are located, but not how they staff them.

Oh, I already have a simple solution to that.

I ain’t seen nothin in that video.

An ADHD diagnosis as an adult is hard. If it’s impacting work (which if you have ADHD I don’t see how it couldn’t), your best bet is starting off with a licensed therapist. They can at least help you get things started, and help get you a recommendation to a psychiatrist. If the current clamp down on ADHD meds is any indication, it probably will have to be a specialized psychiatrist to get you diagnosed.

One of the things about ADHD is that the symptoms are life long, so there would be some indication that you had it as a kid. Your parents and siblings or close cousins are your best bet on that. You don’t want to fish for the information, but get a general idea of what they know. It will help in your diagnosis, or at least get you into testing.

I posted in the other thread about how this is involving other for profit healthcare stocks, but I see a trend that we need to correct before the wrong people are hurt.

We are talking about for-profit healthcare executives and owners.

The CEO of HCA made $21m in total compensation. A physician makes on average $200k in the org.

Tenet Healthcare CEO made $18m. A physician makes on average $232k.

Vs Non-profits: Mayo Clinic CEO: $3.72m (notably also a Dr?) Physician: $273k

Cleveland Clinic CEO: $4m (this was tough to find) Physician: $235k

Now let’s look at revenue and profit (well, the revenue for the non-profits). HCA pulls in $60b in revenue, $4b in profit. Tenet HC: $17b in revenue, $400m in profit. Mayo Clinic: $16.3b revenue, Cleveland Clinic: $8.4b revenue.

The contrast is a bit alarming isn’t it? Physician salaries are fairly consistent across the board, but the executives of the for-profit entities make 4x-5x the compensation as the non-profits (not that the non-profit CEOs really need $4m/year in pay).

Tying healthcare to profits is the problem.

You better not pout and I’m telling you why Santa Claus is bombing tonight.

Correct. And I strongly suspect they are wildly pumping out news about him to narrow the juror pool to people who do live under rocks.

The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.

His defense, in any case, has a very difficult task - they need to be able to somehow communicate him being innocent against stacked charges OR paint him light that the rest of us see that leans them towards Jury Nullification.

My hope is that potential jurors hide their bias, which isn’t easy, but gives him the best chance.

Nobody knows.

I think it’s because Benchy has a crazy amount of changing surfaces and is easily printable with or without supports, scales better, and doesn’t take terribly long to print.

You know, everyone I see uses that tug boat print for their calibration, but what you made here was far more intricate and beneficial.

What’s wild is that it’s anything but quiet up there.

Literally my parents. And teachers. I was “such a quiet kid” who did well in school. Never mind the fact that I would chatter to my parents and brother to the point where they’d actually get rather upset with me interrupting everything.

Turns out I excelled on tests solely because it was quiet. The doodling and daydreaming I did managed to keep just enough information flowing into my brain that when it came to tests, I just worked through them like puzzles.

I remember classes after I started taking Ritalin in highschool. Holy crap. I actually remembered learning. It was incredible. I didn’t have to figure out things on my own. Tests were even easier because I had the answers beforehand.
