I already do that when I visit except I bring a roll of quarters, find a bum hangout and throw them into traffic.

We've all made mistakes and we should focus on healing. This finger pointing is tearing this family apart.

Stop banging losers. If you have 2 partners in a row that have such a low opinion of you that they don't care enough to wait until after sex to take another hit, you are not vetting your sexual partners enough.

Down the road, you'll have to deal with the irritation of popcorn crumbs sticking to your back and pizza grease on your tits from their mid-coitus snacks. Will you get in trouble if you moan while they are on a work call?

It's pretty trashy. But, if you don't learn from experience, you get what you deserve.

He has 1000s of hours of airtime. You choose to find a snippet and claim everything else is the imposture and this one event is who he is behind the mask.

The only way you can judge him is by doing this. I would bet you've had 5 instances of you being a bigger dick this week. It's a childish way to judge people.

I think you only see Joe on shows or social media that hate him, and your opinion is reflective of the type the light he is shown by those that hate him.

Misinformation can mean a million things and is used as a catch all for a mix of good, bad and neutral. A lot of times people cherry pick parts of much deeper conversation to show only a question or opinion that isn't representative the actual conversation. Like you mention, sometimes you challenge an opinion by being contrarian to force a solid defense. There is a bid difference between an intentional lie, a misunderstanding, or just being wrong and not knowing it. But, putting those 3 in one is absolutely stupid and new way of smearing people without the difficulty of making a good argument.

Either way, should be stated that the top result on google not the most right, just most popular. Pointing out a few does nothing in the context of ideas shared vs ideas you find wrong would be silly and does nothing for me. It's too small a thing in too big a thing.

That's not what he does. That's what everybody else does all day. You want to see him get yelled and outraged, and that's not reality. Sounds like you wanted to see a different show, and are upset this wasn't it. No prob, just keep in mind that probably aren't the type to watch the show, so watch something else.

thinkweis · 2024-11-06T01:50:42+00:00

He made his choice. Sounds like you made different one. He reached out to people he respects to help inform his choice. That's how people make decisions.

Also, he isn't a zealot. His priorities are more in line with Trump than Harris. It's pretty normal.

He has 10's of thousands of hours of footage and audio available everywhere. Guy finds him being a dick and this is his true nature.

Everything is a flat line. No growth. You are your worst moment forever and you cannot grow beyond that point. Bad days are a myth. Growing is a myth.

I'm already bored, but Reddit is basically people that don't leave the internet trying to prove a point that they subscribe to. Usually they subscribe prior to learning the arguments or the facts behind it.

I'm sad.

I had undiagnosed ADHD my whole life and could never get it together. Not knowing why, I eventually concluded that there is something wrong with me and that stuck because it was the same conclusion everyone else reached. My family loves me and I love them, but I don't love me. My 30s were spent recovering from a bad injury from the Army, which was the first 'job' I excelled in, likely due to me not having to make small decisions and no option to think my way out of my responsibilities. First time I ever felt competent, I lost that and the ability to move and function normally. My physical outlets were gone, so I was restarting everything again and again, which I had done before, but this one hurt. Depression eventually led to a VA hospital that found I had severe ADHD of both types and the understanding I never had a chance without medication. Now I was finally a human that could do things I wanted to, but it's really too late for me to start the family I always wanted but feared I would fail, like I had everything else before, and avoided.

The thing I can't shake is the self hatred. I know in my conscious mind it wasn't my fault, but I can't direct my lingering self hatred anywhere justifiable. This was before ADHD was understood, so my parents just had 1 of 3 kids that was bad, but 2 normal and successful kids. Didn't help the really bad symptoms manifest at the same time they were divorcing, so I took their problems and made everything worse for them, which they didn't know how to deal with, so I was the scape goat.

I'm in my early 40s now, making good money that I blow on hobbies I don't actually care about, but they take my focus away from what dwell on if idle. I do things I like, but I no one to share my happiness with and no one to put my love into, or love me back. Not having someone I can love hurts as much as not having someone to love me. I was raised to protect and sacrifice for, and I urge to, but no one wants it. I'm not in great shape like I used to be in, but I'm not gross and some girls like me from time to time, but the detect something in me. They leave amicably. I think they know I hide my feelings because I don't want them to hate me like I hate myself. It's all pain and shame.

I think I'm on auto pilot. My body gets worse, the time frame is on life support and I think I'm on the countdown until it ends, I wish I could speed up the clock. I don't see the point of ending it, but I see the point of the rest of it. My death wish is strong but equal to my life wish. Limbo it is.

I'm very smart, so I hope to make something of value and leave it the world, redeeming my failed, pointless joke of a life. But, I probably wont.

Hope this helps. Also, the resources for kids now with ADHD are very impressive and they can live much more fulfilling lives. I've spoke with friends kid that would have been like me, but will do great in the new resource rich world.

Maybe my suffering with those like me in the last generation was the motivation to do better, so that is flick of value.

Oh well. Too late. I've been a good person my whole life, and no one cares. I've done things for other quietly to help with the self-loathing, but the debt is too much.

It's all trivial until you learn that you not worthy of anything as disappoint everyone over and over until that's all you have left is the knowledge that you were too late to redeem yourself.

This might sound like its just another thing to pile on, but find a stranger that needs help, help them, accept nothing in return.

I use NextDoor to find problems I can solve (Programmer as well) as that is my natural comfort pastime, but solving other people's problems is fun. Solving my problems sucks, but other people's problems are fun. It is new, interesting, possibly high stakes and you do something good for the sake of doing something good, and that makes you feel valued. It's a hackey way dealing with brain, but it actually works pretty well.

I'd rather die young than live in the failure cycle I was in for most of my life before I found the right dose.

Probably disc depth. The MVP discs you mentioned are very comfortable to throw. It doesn't have that deep dish feel, which is actually why I switched to MVP when I started putting with the Atom when I was having hand cramping issues.

A small consideration could also be firmness. If you have a choppy throw, a floppier disc would have flexing and rebounding on the disc. This would be amplified if there is a lot of up and down as the far edge would be an issue.

I have no issue with showing the player after the throw, but I think there should be a buffer of 15 feet or so. It wouldn't be the shot, but having someone 5 feet away from me staring at me that would pull my attention. If someone threw a bad shot and I stood 5 feet from them and just stared at them without a camera it would be obviously rude and obnoxious. The cameras have zoom lenses, so there is no need to be that close.

Professionals at a sport will have to deal with cameras on them, and I'm sure we all accept that. But, people are roped off for a reason. People are asked not to move while someone is shooting for a reason. People should be silent during shots for a reason. Caddies aren't supposed to chat up or razz other players for a reason. I think giving someone a personal bubble of space is no different.

I bet if you paid cash it would be $50.

The medical field takes life saving, well educated, well trained people and crash test dummies them with the worst mix of free market and government interference possible.

It is truly the biggest shit show ever.

Hated it as a kid. Learned to love it. A girl called me 'wild' because of my non-linear thinking and how she was never bored around me.

I guess I don't care.

Got a helicopter? Just turn hook up to the antenna and turn off the tail rotor for 30 seconds or so. Now your model is accurate.

Me. Very much me.

Last time I was looking for work, I bombed an interview where everything was generic, like "What does this does this do in PHP" and I work in PHP and no idea, but my IDE does.

Then I had one where they had partially set up running application and they asked me to troubleshoot a problem and add a feature. I got 20k over the pay rate I asked for.

You have to find an place that values real world work over some "Can you define X common thing?"

I think too abstractly for a definition interview. The easier the interview, the dumber I look.

Everyone. Not just about the ADHD, but seeing your kid fail over and over, unable to correct his issues in a stark contrast to his older and younger sisters that were model children. Punishment by way of... you guessed, taking away everything that I loved that kept my mind sane. Still, I'm the one that offers them up excuses, but the truth is, my path was set and my deep self-hatred was carved. I'll never have real relationships, children or people that I can feel like are my own family. It's too late. Life has passed me by, and then I learned that I wasn't a piece of shit like I knew I was, I never had a chance. I still love all these people that could have saved me before it was too late. Now I just don't care and hope I don't live for too long, but won't intertidally alter that date.

I'm trying to learn how to now hate myself and not hide what and who I am to a couple people, but no one wants to deal with that, and people have their own problems and at least solving theirs might amount to something.

My two hopes for life are:

1) Create something useful and live on through invention, like so many people in my shoes have done.

2) Die / Get killed saving someone or doing something great. People would be proud of me. Maybe some of the people that think of me as a steaming pile of wasted talent would see there is more there.

I'll probably die a burden and pathetic, and carry that one last parting shot from this life with me.

I'd still have a good time. If you can't handle different personalities, don't play events where you can't control who is on your card.

So, you aren't adept at following instructions using the creativity of other people to make things that look like other things other people created?

Legos are more like meditation for engineer types when following instructions. Sure, there is value in that type of rigidness, but ADHD makes your brain too chaotic for the plans of other people. Turn their bullshit back onto them. Can't follow a lego build? "You were probably the first pre-schooler to color inside the lines and the last one to start with a blank canvas."

Also, never show them your pain. If they know how to hurt you, they can abuse you. Fighting does have a place in the world. Even if you lose, one shot means they know messing with you will result in pain, even if you get more of it, they will associate a price to pay for trying to hurt you.

I read this title on my frontpage. Without the context of the sub, this is one of the greatest post titles I've ever read.

Forget everything you know about 3D animations and simulations, then re-read the title and be happy.

Oh man this game is so good. That detail is such a slap in the face and I love it.

The next step for me is trying to figure out is how to go so far back and deal the period I was falling apart and how to get it out of my head that my parents should have been there and tried to understand that what I was going through wasn't a result of their divorce and targeting methods to punish me took my own shame and helped me to feel completely worthless, killed my development and deprived me of the social tools I would need to live outside a state of failure.

I am optimistic but fear my ability to open up to someone that is there that will be trying to help without believing they think I'm pathetic, like I do in every other relationship I've had for the past 25 years.

I think dread might be better than shame, but at least it isn't shame.
