Instructions unclear they installed a dam

Yeah there are a lot of religions on most social media sites. Manifesting is interestingly increasingly popular with Christians.

Exactly. Smith is laying everything out because he’s in a special position where the prosecution is particularly malicious. Everything he says or omits will be used against him but everything he says can also stand against the prosecution. It’s the closest to the old school American court movie defense speech you can get irl

No, I interpreted it as a form of religious magical practice that’s somewhat popular on social media

It probably violates the 8th amendment but I understand the desire to do it.

Also, you try finding a construction crew on the east coast he hasn’t personally stiffed already

Waco really has a thing with terrible people getting themselves immolated…

My tramp stamp

I never thought I’d side with a retired Tennessee cop, but here I am

In this case it was just a decent gen ed literature paper but yeah I once literally couldn’t stop reading the Wikipedia article about the evolution of plants when I was unmedicated.

I’m more likely to talk of hyperfocus when it’s things theoretically people would think are good to be unable to stop focusing on like school, work, or learning. This is largely because crashing on the couch doomscrolling instead of eating is something even neurotypicals do these days and because talking about all the nights I spent playing binding of Isaac or civilization with zero capacity to stop and do my damn homework or go to bed make it sound like a failing and like I’m blaming my mental illness.

But yeah, it’s inability to regulate attention and we live in a world in which sophisticated tools for catching and maintaining attention are extremely commonplace and should be more regulated.

We also got Katie Wilson. Sure she isn’t classically gorgeous like those three, but damn does that woman represent Seattle.

Ooh these will be fascinating exhibits in the Trump section of a museum. I wonder how future people will interpret this behavior /s

And many Americans on the right would tell you that a national ID is government overreach. Yeah I heard that from a coworker last year.

Plenty still will. They’ve decided both sides have a point and both sides exaggerate and both sides are pretty bad but not fully evil. They define themselves as between the two parties. The right realized that and ran all the way right, especially as they noticed many on the right defined themselves as to the right of the centrists, however far they were when they first thought of their views.

To accept what is happening requires accepting that loved ones among masses have adopted beliefs once reserved for foolish, reprehensible, evil losers. But few among us have grappled with what our ancestors who we may have known, believed before the invasion of Poland.

Idk I feel like if it actually worked that way we’d get pretty firm negotiations that home and work get separate metalminds at least at decent jobs. And much like how zincminds don’t make you smarter, they just make you equally smart faster, these won’t make you good at your job, just make you solely focused on the stupid thing your boss told you to do.

Also I feel like given how hyperfocus is attention would be more like weight or senses than strength in that filling has benefits too by allowing you to task change and a sudden jolt from tunnel vision

Of course, people would actually mourn James Kirk

Yeah also hyperfocua is thankfully often one of the earliest symptoms to be dealt with. The name “hyperfocus” sounds great, but when I tell the story of how in college I sat down to write a paper then several hours later was finished, couldn’t tell you anything about it and desperately needed food, water, and to use the restroom but was so exhausted I didn’t know how to prioritize these needs and spent several minutes deciding which to resolve first… Yeah then it sounds like a symptom of a disability rather than some magic power.

I swear I’m sick and tired of people thinking adhd is basically being an attention feruchemist

Or more cynically: privileged talent knows its worth, marginalized talent is undervalued and will thank you for only lightly screwing it

Oh I didn’t know Karp was going to get forcibly sterilized by the government if he succeeds at his goals. Sounds like he doesn’t know that either

Like, dude, the party is already moving against the neurodivergent and he’s playing a major part in their capacity to do so. Playing a fundamental role in his own forewarned tragedy, kind of reminds me of another motherfucker I’ve heard of…

Could he just ask someone to hold his beer and watch this already?
