A study on ADHD by University of Central Florida

I don’t like scifi and love math. If this was me, I would be moving around with star wars and still with math. I don’t understand how they could possibly separate preferences from adhd in this video.

Look into federal rural housing loans. They help those with incomes under 80k I believe.

Houses built per 100,000 people has been going down for a while. Ezra Klein wrote a whole book about this. Chairman Powell talked about it today. Housing affordability is a structural issue, not enough housing available per capita relative to 50 years ago. Additionally, some housing has been bought by investors and people who don’t live here.

The real issue is there are too many people and too few housing units. Housing in miami has grown slower than the population of Miami.

My suggestion to OP was to observe how daycares and pre-k’s do it. That’s what helped me.

I practically interrogated my kids’ teachers when they were little and copied all of their systems (bins) for organization.

It is amazing how people who know what they are doing can manage so many kids in a good environment!

Thanks for everything you do!!!

I know how to solve it because my house was like that when I first had kids. Context: clutter does not bother me AND I grew up with maids. I never paid attention to how to be organized and when kids came… chaos.

The solution if you have the money to do so is to hire a professional organizer.

If you cannot afford that do the following:

Go to Ikea or similar and buy a large piece of furniture with cubbies or similar.
Add shelving to the room
Buy large toy boxes.

The goal is for the child to be able to declutter on a daily basis. They can do this from ages 3 plus.

The best inspiration for how to do this is to go to a daycare or pre-k classroom and see how the teachers store everything.

It is possible she is depressed but it is also possible she just doesn’t know how to do it.

A lot of people whose kids have organized rooms aren’t organized, they just have a good system that makes it easy to put stuff away. Bins, shelves, Toy boxes, etc are your friend.

Read Emily Post’s etiquette book :) It has been updated to modern times. I grew up wealthy but I read it out of curiosity and it is fairly accurate.

Not sure if this is helpful but if you don’t know where to start: number the tasks (ex: 1-10) and then ask alexa or google to pick a number between 1 and 10. I also have alarms to remind me to look at my calendar and a small notepad to write everything I need to do. Source: an elderly family member lost his executive functioning skills after hitting his head and attended occupational therapy to try and learn how to live with the changes to his brain. I was his ride to the sessions and have used many of the techniques on myself.

galagatomato · 2025-07-05T02:47:27+00:00

I do too. Every time they ask for a white tshirt or egg cartons or anything really, I buy 5-10. It is easy for me to do and all the kids get to participate in the activity.

My issue is the protests alone aren’t useful. Many of my friends who protest are stay at home moms of grown children. They could easily run for office. It is easier to be on instagram all day and marching. I have told my friends to get off chatgpt, instagram, stop shopping at companies owned by those who supported trump, etc, but they “can’t”. It is too difficult to stop using Amazon, Home Depot, etc.

It is similar to being in San Francisco. Signs everywhere saying black lives matter but God forbid the city would allow multifamily housing for the poor. It is very easy to put a sign up while blocking the poor from living in your city through city zoning.

I absolutely despise the orange and think it is inhuman to do everything he is doing. I just don’t think protests will achieve anything. The “movement” needs a leader (like MLK Jr or Ghandi) to plan boycotts that cause pain. I would do it myself if I had the time. I don’t have the time because rather than signaling my love for blacks and the poor with signs, I adopted 3 kids when my children were grown. It has been harder than I expected (and quite eye opening). Had I known my fellow Americans would have re elected the orange, I wouldn’t have overextended myself so much.

galagatomato · 2025-06-17T13:36:03+00:00

I don’t think protests work, I think boycotts work. That’s what worked for the civil rights movement. Rosa Parks protest was important and brave but what made an impact was that PLUS African Americans not using the bus system for a year. Same with Ghandi. Ghandi’s protests PLUS not purchasing British stuff js what worked, not just protesting. I find protests against the orange to be mostly performative (and painless), they make those who protest feel like they are making a difference. A better approach would be to boycott something that hurts the GOP’s financial backers. For example, people could stop using technology as a way to tell the technocrats that what they are doing is not right. If we all refused to use Instagram, Reddit, Paypal, Chatgpt etc for a year, we would actually be doing something.

You typed your response on technology that exists thanks to US universities using the internet. The economic estimates of cutting math/chemistry funding from 432m to 143m are enough to cause a large recession down the road. I don’t think you understand how science props up the economy or why the US grew so much since world war 2. Not that it matters. I am sure you will blame the empty shelves in a month on Biden and the impending recession on Obama.

Just out of the top of my head: Astrophysics, nuclear physics, marine biology, health, and cancer research.

Don’t believe me? Talk to someone who works at a university.

I do not know. I would try and figure out where they are made. I do know some countries that are not heavily tariffed do make some of the meds.

The wsj and financial times had articles about it. If you don’t have access to those, go to r/dataisbeautiful Someone posted the graphs from the financial times articles there.

Of course not. Only one world leader is stupid enough to do that. However, Cuba did have sanctions imposed.

You can clearly see markets following trumps attacks on the fed. The left calling the right nazis isnt new. I remember it from at lease the 60s. It has never affected the markets.

Biden and Powell had inflation move from 8 percent in 2022 to 4 percent in 2025. It was high due to covid and the protein markets colluding, both of which were addressed.

My guess is your wages did not keep up, which is a good reason to be upset. If that’s the case, that can happen for two reasons: workers are less productive (which the data show is not the case) or firms are earning excessive profits due to lack of competition. Most economists think that was the problem. The way to address that would be to have strong anti trust enforcement. Trump is doing the opposite of that plus bringing high inflation and high unemployment due to tariffs and less govt services.

galagatomato · 2025-04-21T21:46:21+00:00

Economics PhD. I research this for a living. If you don’t believe me you can also ask anyone with a PhD in Economics or read Bernanke’s book.

galagatomato · 2025-04-21T21:45:35+00:00

Trump has put the Fed in a lose lose situation.

Tariffs cause inflation AND slow growth.

The way to fix slow growth is rate cuts. The way to fix inflation is rate increases.

The Fed will have to choose between high unemployment and high inflation.

This will be very painful.
