Me when I see the amazing memes at /autism, hear the term neuro divergent for the first time, read a ptsd pamphlet, or anything about indoctrination.

Also me when any trump news breaks "wait am I a sociopath too?"

Maybe I'm a passive hypochondriac, or just terribly unaware of anything at all.

True meme

For me, it was the year I turned 22. At that point I was older than both parents when they had me. I realized how incompetent i was, and how little life I had lived, completely incapable of raising a human. My parents sacrificed a shit load just for me to be alive, and did their best in the time they were born into, and all the external forces at work on a young mind, and the choices at hand. I still don't have kids lol.

"That people are stupid" was my first instinct, like I needed reddit for that confirmation, but it's bewildering to me, still, to this day.

This answer resonates. I am not nearly as detail oriented as I'd like to be on most topics, even though I can feel their placement, and reasoning. Alot of stuff I read everyday is brand new to me tbh and I really don't know shit outside of a very few small areas, with a side of some basic human behavior through my experience. I guess that's why we come together (: all pieces of the whole.

Of course! Ngl I'm crying a little right now. It means alot to me that I could share an experience of mine with you, cause its all I have, and I can more than imagine your thoughts and feelings right now. That view is beautiful. I'm sure you are a beautiful person too. I feel quite confident in that assumption actually. (:

My view from my window(they gave me one of the big rooms all by myself, the only one with windows, ptsd i think) was OK. Middle of nowhere farm and small Appalachian Mt chain. We had to sneak onto a ps3 to use youtube lol. One night i was watching lighting rolling around the sky and hills thru my big window, laying on my back, reflecting off the ceiling. I cried so hard, it was beautiful.

The rehab sucked. It really did. But I had so much fun. They tried to take our communal volleyball game over some bullshit and we flipped shit and got everyone riled up. We kept our fkn volleyball. ..it was a state run rehab with everyone fresh out of jail. Never laughed so hard in my life.

I'm almost 1.5 years clean from a decade+ run on fent and benzos. Wouldn't trade my experiences for the world, but I'm glad I'm myself now. Things are still fucked up, and they'll always be for me, but I'm working on it..

It really is whatever you want it to be. Make it for yourself. <3

I had this exact thought right before I scrolled to it. Depending on my brain, I can either lay and go dead sleep, or if I'm racing ill pick up the phone or whatever. I just took my blind cat out to chase moths and I'm not in the mood to sleep. Maybe in a few min. -lemmy addiction

Shit I ignore texts for days too. 😒

I'd never opt for it unless i couldnt function without it, and I sure don't wanna live forever in a computer, or at all. The potential for abuse is astronomical. Let's hope we have fought for a massive shift in consciousness before this comes to full fruition, right?

I don't think aliens would see metric as pure logic tbh. Oh its 10! Big 10! Look at it go! Oh your still doing verbal and written?

Whatever you guys decide, Idc.

I use imperial everyday at work building stuff I don't really need complex math at all in my life, and barely measurements outside of what is easily done in my head or by eye. Temperature I rarely use in a meaningful way.The two aren't mutually exclusive in practice in your lives apparently. This is a non issue altogether. More people using metric is the best argument, but it's probably more about how dumb Americans are more than anything.

I've always sucked at math tbh, but fractional measurements are my jam. It goes faster in my head and I can visualize things better.

OK I'm looking up the history of the metric system now.

I'm in the US, and I just started going to the doc in my whole adult life. My arms are bricked up, tingling, and spasms. Doc says it's carpal tunnel, which checks out. I can't afford anything beyond my general care atp. Apparently I'll need surgery and physical therapy asap, I work with my hand in the trades. I'd be screwed without them as I have zero savings, etc. The doc gave me referrals with nowhere to go. I asked and they said "well your insurance is tricky, find somewhere". Lovely!

I understand that this is the place and times I exist in, but hell if I can't bitch about it (:

Judging by your username, and some of the context, you seem similar to me. These people are right. Go, and stay on top of it. I put off my health my entire life and now I am hurting. Life may be suffering, but it's worth it ime, and it's worth the fight to make it better. I hope you find something worthwhile to crawl out of that hole for. Sorry I don't mean to intrude, I'm just super empathetic to your situation, went through it bad, and I'm just crawling out of the dark tunnel now, in my 30s. (:

The wheels fell of this one.

I've liked lemmy just the way it is from the beginning. I don't expect it to stay as intimate with this vibe of solidarity and critical thinking, but I'm enjoying the ride. I have always preferred smaller communities in every facet of my life. Small friend groups, small classroom, etc. Once you hit a certain number, things go off the rails fairly quickly ime. But in the end, if we can grow, and keep this same kinda culture moving forward? Imagine that, people coming together for common good.

As a fan of sports in general, your spot on, well said. This donation isn't surprising whatsoever.

Not Canadian, but nope. Drug use does not mean unfit. Case by case. I was a pre school teacher when I was pretty young, i was like 19. The kids loved me, and believe I did some small good. I wasn't showing up to work on drugs, but i sure did them. I agree with the other commentors, we need to get rid of mandatory drug screening, period. There is too many cases where this could just be an unnecessary barrier to someone doing some good. If your educator is smoking crack in the bathroom, get rid of them, and offer them a resource to fix their shit.
