Angry_Maple, to risa in Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium
@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

Tbh, I almost caved and got premium, but I have a lot of the same issues with Youtube that you have.

A big YouTuber was doxxed recently by another big YouTuber, and Youtube did nothing about it. If I was him, I would be going to court.

Angry_Maple, to adhd in ADHD or just bad habits?
@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

Vyvanse gave me so much anxiety that just missing the bus on a quiet day made me feel like I was suffocating. It’s crazy that these medications affect us all so differently.

If you’re like me and freeze on the spot, you could also write your symptoms down before going in.

I was diagnosed super young, but then I had to change doctors after my first one retired. I took medication for about a year as a teenager, but I didn’t start medication again until I was in my 20’s.

I was anxious that the new doctor wouldn’t believe me, but my speech patterns apparently partly gave me away lol. I try SO hard to speak at normal speeds, but I’m not always successful. Anyways, having stuff written down before I went to the doctor helped me a lot. Instead of worrying about if the doctor believed me, I was worried about reading the list properly.

If these things are making life more difficult for you, I would absolutely go. Don’t be afraid to get a second opinion if your doctor happens to be someone who “doesn’t believe” in ADHD. Starting medication honestly probably saved me from falling through the cracks. I’m better with timing, attendance, social skills, emotional regulation, paying attention, and many other things.

Best of luck!

Angry_Maple, to news in ACT test scores for US students drop to new 30-year low

I’d argue that anyone who was happy to make education worse for future generations was “fucking stupid”. They cut their nose off to spite their face, so to speak.

Why would someone want doctors, surgeons, scientists, and everyone in every other skilled profession to have less of an education? What part of that isn’t “fucking stupid”? Too many people don’t think about the long term consequences. What’s going to happen when the older generations retire?

I hope that you’re trying to stop education cuts, otherwise you’re a part of the problem that you’re talking about.

Angry_Maple, to worldnews in Netanyahu says Israel will ‘crush and destroy’ Hamas; every Hamas member is a ‘dead man’
@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

Some of the takes that I’ve seen on this are bizarre.

You can hate that Hamas has murdered innocent civilians, and you can ALSO hate that Israel has murdered innocent civilians.

Some of us are just genuinely disgusted by the sheer amount of innocent people dying. It’s terrible, and nothing anyone says will ever make me believe that those innocent people deserved to die like that. Some of them only have the “crime” of being born there.

I’m not from the US, but it irks me to see so many people calling anyone from there a hypocrite for being upset over it, solely because of the United States’ previous involvement. Many of the people commenting are probably not the same people who wanted to join the war back then. Many of the people commenting may have not been old enough to vote for the government at the time. Millions of people are not one single homogeneous life form. Every person has their own mix of thoughts, feelings, experiences, emotions, hopes, and dreams. These things help fuel how they see the world around them. No two peoples stories are exactly alike.

They don’t care about the company’s future beyond their own personal gains from it.

Tbh, I doubt that they would care in the slightest if the entire company closed the day after they left/retired. It seems like almost all CEOs have that target these days.

Angry_Maple, to news in More than 1,000 birds killed in one night after hitting the same Chicago building
@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s tough to read tone over text, so just in case. Do you know the truth behind the lemmings? They don’t actually kill themselves in large groups.

I can’t tell if you didn’t know, if you just made a joke, or if you’re implying that someone caused these birds to die for the sake of film.

@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

What part of Ontario are you talking about? Did you not get any of the ice storms last year? Ottawa was hit with 38.mm of freezing rain just back in April.

IIRC a lot of people were stuck at home around the holidays, too. At some points the snow was blinding. I agree that there is less snow overall through. It’s sad to see.

What is forgiveness to you?

To a lot of people, forgiveness comes when the person who did wrong feels regret over their actions. Not regret for the consequences, but regret for the harm that their actions caused.

Tbh, if someone is hoping that just paying false lip service will guarantee then forgiveness from an all knowing being, I’ll wonder what exactly it is that they believe. An all knowing God would know whether you actually regret harming someone, or if you just regret not getting into heaven. Is there any chance you could explain that to me? I have seriously never understood why some religious people believe that they could fool an all knowing God.

If that amount of sin is forgiven easily, I would argue that many of the harmless actions that current organized reliegon is against would also be forgiven.

@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

You also have to love how it’s a federal holiday in some places. People who work for the government got the day off, but there was practically nothing for the legit indigenous other than seeing people wearing orange shirts.

Idk, it’s weird to me because the government played a massive role in what happened. It’s odd that the provincial government gave themselves a long weekend over it.

Angry_Maple, to asklemmy in Replicating reddit content from AITA
@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think that that bot might actually be preventing the AITA community from growing. Yeah, it’s easy enough to block the bot. I don’t disagree with that at all.

The majority of new users may look at the community and see nothing but bot posts. I don’t know about you, but if all I see on a community are bot posts, I tend to skip that community. I don’t always care to go digging through numerous posts to see if it’s worth it to block a bot. Doubly so, if there is so much bot posting that the normal posts are practically hidden. A new user may just assume that the community is intended for bots and just skip it altogether.

I don’t care about AITA anymore to be honest, but too many bot posts can definitely hinder the growth of a community. I think that would be true for many communities.

Imo, it’s a touch worse when the community is based on personal stories. No one will really benefit from voting/discussing. Instead, you’re reading posts that someone else intended for another group on another website. There isn’t really a lot of “community” that you can get with that. Short story readers group, I guess? The actual OP certainly won’t get any of the input.

Bonus points: Neither of those texts would exist if the sender had just listened to you any of the first two or three times that you told them.

yaaay troubleshooting. I have to say though, on the bright side, it’s doing wonders for improving my patience.

Angry_Maple, to memes in Not today, sorry.
@Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

I don’t think they do, but I’ve seen them announce things like " company name teamed up with x charity and we managed $200,000 !"

Conveniently forgetting to mention that they donated little to nothing themselves.

Angry_Maple, to baldurs_gate_3 in I have 250+ hours in this game and i just realized you can just USE the SHOVEL if you fail the Survival check.

I haven’t been able to play much yet, but I’ve been able to dig up a chest. I also had the option to dig up a grave, but I didn’t go for it.
