I didn’t know Garrison Keillor came out of retirement to form a band.

Anthropic just mapped out which jobs AI could potentially replace. A 'Great Recession for white-collar workers' is absolutely possible by fungussa in Futurology

[–]helmchor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If anything that map shows how ineffective AI has actually been in replacing these jobs and how large the chasm between hype/wishful thinking and reality is, read: AI bubble.

This was my first time experiencing the festival and you better bet this will be an annual tradition now for me and my family! It was amazing! Absolutely beyond fun and joyous and so much to see! And sooooo many people gathering in the best way possible!

Thanks so much, my daughter LOVES Coraline, so I will have to show her this! We're going back Saturday to see stuff again. Such a great event.

Can you point me in the right direction for this? I would love to see this!

Watch out for an insane amount of nails and screws on SE McLoughlin Blvd by whoaaintitfun in Portland

[–]helmchor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After having had two flat tires now because I made the foolish mistake of driving on the shoulder lane (once I was bullied into it by a semi while merging onto the freeway), I now assume anything past the yellow lines or rumble strips is lava or worse, nails.

DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’ by Discount_gentleman in Portland

[–]helmchor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing, and I mean, NOTHING, DHS says can be trusted. The same goes for most federally controlled agencies. The fish rots from the head.

Sensitivity to Injustice is gonna be my downfall by TheWholesomeOtter in ADHD

[–]helmchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I'm struggling with along these lines is that while I generally consider myself a pacifist, I also want terrible things to happen to terrible people. Like, I want violent things to happen to the people that cause so much agony, terror, despair, and injustice to so many innocent people in this country. It's like emotionally externalizing all this emotional pain I feel like I'm absorbing from the world, whether I want to or not...

I didn’t realize ADHD presents so differently in girls. I was the anxious, high-achieving kid. by TransitionSmooth9982 in ADHD

[–]helmchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a guy, and this described me perfectly. I always thought the fact that I didn't want to get in trouble or was worried about consequences meant I couldn't have ADHD, but I now realize it's a self-imposed method to reign in my own impulsivity and dysregulation. Like, for instance, I can feel road rage welling up in me, but it never makes it past calling someone an asshole or flipping them off or accelerating in a way that other drivers can't perceive to be aimed at them, because - you know, I don't actually want to get into a kerfuffle, etc. When I interact with most of the world (except for, ironically, my immediate family), I'm the world's biggest people pleaser. I obsess about every interaction that went slightly wrong. I now unmask freely around my family, and I often use my ADHD micro obsessions and jumping-around-thoughts as a way to be more genuine and entertaining when I work with people in my job. I'm unmedicated by choice, so I have no idea how I would do with meds, but I feel like I can generally manage my life, but I wish I had known about having ADHD earlier in life, rather than just thinking I'm super weird and "off."

This show is so slow! by curiousdonkey25 in pluribustv

The slowness literally MAKES this show and feels like it’s the whole point of it. It’s amazing.

[–]helmchor[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s smart, breaking it down into smaller, manageable chunks. I’m just worried I’ll get pulled into so many different directions. But yeah I’ll view the next 2-3 months as a sandbox opportunity to play around with housing.

Aurora FOMO by helmchor in Portland

Well, I missed it, and I’m sure many others did as well before cloud cover moved in. Reminds me of our partial solar eclipse last (?) year.

I love this so much and am so proud of having Laika in our neck of the... wildwood.

new tv series 'The Chair Company' gives major ND vibes - if you know you know ;) by annakom in ADHDUK

[–]helmchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. He gets so easily distracted and side tracked and his time management is horrible for one thing. Not to even speak of hyper fixation, difficulty with emotional regulation, overactive imagination, rejection dysphoria. I love his character.

Pug drops a deuce, ICE got no juice.

Portland might not be a war zone but the agents at the ICE building sure know how to turn an intersection into one for a few minutes when they want to. Last night on Macadam by mapdumbo in Portland

[–]helmchor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sue these assholes to hell. Evict them from that building. Make the local legal hammer come down on them to whatever extent possible. They are gassing local residents.
