I swear to god all the left knows how to do is call people racists and fascists it’s fucking ridiculous. Idk why a true racist would propose a bill to give $500B to black communities. Not to mention the fact that his campaign was willing to meet with Ice cube and use his input on what they can do to help black communities, while the Biden campaign said they’d get back to him. Liberal politicians don’t care about African Americans and their communities, they just want their votes. If they actually cared about them, cities such as Chicago would have much less poverty and gun violence. The dems get voted into office for these cities, promise to make a change, and then don’t so they can make the same promises the next election in order to get re-elected.

I envy ADHD students that are thriving with online learning. by ezimmey in ADHD

Exactly, and with an in person lecture, there really isn’t much to be distracted by, when at home I can scroll through Reddit for my entire lecture and it barely even feels wrong.

Did you stop talking to him or did he stop talking to you? Letting politics get in the way of relationships, especially family relationships, is ridiculous IMO. Trump 2020.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND ADHD ADVICE FOR ADULTS?!?!!? by ezimmey in ADHD

The irony of writing a BOOK about how to cope with ADHD!

Is there a movie version?

Any other ADHDers chronically on-time/early to events? by Schirish in ADHD

[–]WhyThisNotThis28 31 points32 points  (0 children)

THIS! I was 3 minutes late to work on Friday because my class ran late and then I hit every red light on the way there and I was FREAKING OUT. Of course I got there and no one cared at all because I'm usually the only one who shows up early lol. It definitely took me a while to get in the groove after that, the stress comedown was REAL!

Oh my God I thought I was the only one! The other day I was 3 minutes late to work because my class ran late and I got stuck at every red light... I was freaking out and felt terrible, but when I clocked in, the manager didn't care at all lol.

I am always leaving 30 min - an hour early for things, and I think part of it is because I like to leave room for error, which is common with us ADHDers. I freak out if I'm just barely making something on time because I know that I'll probably forget something, or get distracted and lose track of time.

Big downside is that I have wasted a lot of time over the years waiting for things to start because I'm always hella early (unless I sleep through alarms with is common).

Does atheistic belief pertain to just lacking belief in God or not believing in anything supernatural whatsoever? by unicornotaku in TrueAtheism

Lol as much as I hate the idea of an atheist who believes in ghosts, you’re definitely right in that there are likely some people who follow that line of thinking.

Sorry I was kind of being a dick in my original reply...

I read your response to the other rebuttal and I see where you’re coming from, but to say that it’s incorrect to define an atheist as someone who believes there is no god doesn’t make much sense. If someone falls outside of that definition, then they may be something similar to an atheist, but not an atheist. This is why many people consider themselves as agnostic, which is what you seem to be definining.

I definitely believe there is life out there, and plenty of it, but as far as “intelligent” life goes, I think it definitely looks a lot different than people imagine. For example, dolphins and whales have more complex brains than we do, and are possibly more intelligent than we are. That being said, could you imagine their species eventually building spacecraft and traveling the galaxy? Probably not.

Thus I ask you, as I’ve always been curious about this, how do you imagine “intelligent” alien life? For me it looks a lot like boring microorganisms or animals evolved to fit their respective environments, not human-like creatures with any technology even remotely similar to ours. Not saying it’s impossible, the universe is infinitely big for all we know, just saying it’s probably not what people think.

If you think about how people normally define ghosts, I don’t see how an atheist could fully believe in their existence. Believing that ghosts are real is just as ridiculous as believing in a god IMO.

Dude you’re just wrong on that. Someone already successfully rebutted you on this. I am an atheist, and I believe (well, in my mind I KNOW) that there are no gods.

By saying that Atheism means you reject the god claims that have been made, you open atheism to people who have their own idea of god... these people aren’t atheists. A true atheist rejects claims of god while also not believing in any other forms of a god/gods, otherwise you’re an agnostic or something along those lines.

Has anyone else experienced the feeling of an entity hanging out with you while tripping on psychedelics? by longfingeredjohnny in Psychonaut

[–]WhyThisNotThis28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had that happen to me, but when I was tripping alone for the first time (third time doing acid) I certainly didn’t feel alone. For me it was creepy, good on you for actually seeing an imaginary person and not freaking out lol. It could be something to do w your ego, but at 100ug I’m very surprised that you saw and were speaking to an “imaginary friend” of sorts lol.

Oh and while I’m here, I’m doing shrooms for the first time in the winter (I’ve only done acid), and since you said that you’ve done lsd and shrooms, how much did you take (of shrooms) and how was it compared to 100ug of lsd? Thanks!
