Hi there!

Does this graph account for the huge lack of available diagnosis?
We’ve been on waiting lists for YEARS that only grow and grow to get a 2 hour appointment with someone who can diagnose us with ADHD.
It’ll never happen, I’m sure. The government would rather not put resources into diagnosis, so they can claim almost nobody has ADHD, and not provide any support or recognition for it.

You can just say the Royal Navy warship, I think we only have one these days, right? 🥲

Do butterflies infest homes and destroy property?
I feel like it’s less what they look like, and more how they impact us. It’s still very human-centric, but ya know, not so much a beauty thing as one might think at first.

Aren’t Nike kinda known these days for being cheaply made crap that just tries to lure in people who care more about looking cool than having truly functional shoes for sports, etc?
Posers, as the saying goes.
It’s not something I’m into though so maybe I’m a bit wrong!

lol, this was on when I was growing up and I, along with a great many of my peers, were rolling with undiagnosed ADHD, autism, depression, etc, because the teachers and adults around us didn’t know shit about mental health, and didn’t help any of us.
Have we reached the point now for my generation that younger people assume those times were better, where people were magically wiser etc, and where older people have rose tinted glasses and start telling the youth how much more mentally healthy everyone was, etc?
People were people then just like they are now. People had mental health problems then just like they do now. It wasn’t heaven on Earth, it was just a few decades ago, that’s all.

Yeah, as a little kid I hated seeing this on TV, it felt really creepy and disgusting. I still don’t like it :-(
- Comment on General Strike at 100: Could it happen again? 4 weeks ago:
Our modern anti-protest laws are, if anything, even more restrictive than the old Emergency Powers Act.
Nope. The country is too brainwashed by whatever propaganda is fed to us through their only window into the world these days (phone, TV, newspaper, but importantly not the world and people around us).
We no longer have any real grip on the reality around us, no grounding in our local community, no heads up looking at what we can actually see.
Everything we take in is fed to us through carefully crafted algorithms and long term propaganda campaigns designed to make us think what they want us to think (they being a wide range of actors none of whom have our best interests at heart - the government, the rich media owners, foreign powers looking to damage our society, etc).
Can a society (can we even call ourselves a society, if we’re now just a bunch of strangers who never look up from our phones to notice each other exists? Are we a society if we don’t even know our neighbour’s names? Or what’s happening in our community?)
…Can a society come together to take any sort of strong meaningful action after so much brainwashing, turning us is against each other, convincing us our rich ruling class masters know best, building so many anti-protest and anti-freedom laws that they can lock you up if they feel like it with no reproductions, for any made up reason they like?
And in the mean time, constantly spy on you, observing where you spend your money, what websites you visit, where you go, who you speak to, etc, every single day, in order to identify those who would be a threat to their power?
No. There won’t be another General Strike in the United Kingdom, and if there were some small, fractured last gasp attempt at one, it would quickly crumble under the boot of our capitalist overlords.

Sad that, of all the things that have changed in the world, nothing about this has changed one bit since then.
I don’t believe in a brighter future any more.

Assuming your family had the money to pay for the fancy TV channels that got these shows, otherwise good luck it’s just the 4 regular terrestrial channels and reruns of Thunderbirds and Danger Mouse xD

To be fair to them, my parents grew up on a farm without electricity or running water. Unsurprising that they have less student debt than I do :3

“One small step for a man”
I know, I know, it’s not as poetic sounding and not how history most often quotes it, but that’s what he actually said, the “a” just gets a bit lost in his way of speaking and the less than perfect radio downlink.
Once you know the actual quote and think about it, it makes way more sense too haha :-D

Millennials were ABSOLUTELY all about the lols, I can assure you. It was the most widely used acronym everywhere (second being brb, I would wager).

In the quote he’s not saying other jobs don’t suck out your soul, just that it’s different.
In a vacuum, not knowing this guy or the rest of his statement, I don’t see anything obviously wrong with that he’s saying.
They take a mental toll on you in different ways, but they all take a mental toll, is what he seems to be saying, and I find that reasonable.
There are people who think trying to make a career as an entertainer (like in streaming) doesn’t take any toll on you at all, and that’s a misunderstanding we should dispell.

- Comment on Get her engine going. 2 months ago:
I dunno, obviously I wouldn’t judge my partner for it, it’s not their fault, BUT it would be a big problem for me at least initially, I need silence to sleep, and the slightest noise (that gets through my earplugs - snoring directly next to me would do it) would make sleeping very difficult.
I’ve already experienced it when someone slept over after a date (who turned out to be an extremely loud snorer) and oh boy, it was a night of torture, almost no sleep at all 😂

- Comment on Precognition proven! Parapsychology vindicated! 2 months ago:
Judging just from the image and title, I’m guessing they’re demonstrating this as evidence that there’s insider trading going on, as just prior to the US President making a huge announcement that rocked the economy, a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.
This does not seem likely to be unrelated, given what this graph shows as normal activity.
The author suggests humourously that this is evidence of precognition - of being able to predict future events using magic.

- Comment on The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself 2 months ago:
The fanbase? They didn’t take this kindly and have now been making it a campaign to make that user’s life a living hell.
I only browse the community stuff rather than engaging with it, but we’ve had very different experiences.
What I’ve seen is everybody discussing how messed up you’d have to be to do something like that, after a minority of players did all that horrible stuff, the fanbase overwhelmingly calling for those responsible to face punishment in court and to be permanently banned from the game and community.
As can be expected of any community, there’s always unhinged, bad people in the mix. There are bad people on Lemmy, there are bad people everywhere. That’s just life. As a society, we deal with them when they show themselves, and we take care of each other.
You can tar the whole community with one brush if you’d like, but that’s not a path towards anything positive. It only leads to people like me being offended and angry when you claim I’ve (as part of the fanbase) been on a campaign to make someone’s life hell.
It’s just not productive.

Oof, unsupported walls in holes can kill you extremely fast. I’d never go into a hole deeper than my waist without shoring (even then, ehhhh).
