I've learned over time that neurotypicals generally don't understand the impact of executive dysfunction from #ADHD. I've found that being a little more blunt can help. I tell them that having ADHD is like having inconsistent and unreliable free will.

Because that is literally what it is like for me.

Though neurotypicals are sometimes hesitant to believe that anyone can truly live like this, because it tends to interfere with core beliefs about free will and "everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps"

Getting non-disabled people to understand that some people literally cannot do a thing sometimes no matter how hard they try is a key challenge of disability activism. Because if they accept that, they'd have to challenge core beliefs about society and capitalism working

Software architecture hot tips:
- Good things are better than bad things, except when they're not
- Also nothing is good or bad
- It depends
- The answer to every question is "it depends", except for when it doesn't. It depends
- Name three things you like. You can't have them at the same time
- No.
- There are many definitions of software architecture, but none of them are correct
- There's no such thing as software architecture

This is pretty amazing, actually. Now that I've caught up, that's gone straight into my RSS aggregator, that has. And an update every day? Wow.


Okay, putting it out for all who want to read:

I'm writing a fantasy novel. It's very isekai, inspired by countless anime I love to watch.

Currently at 36 chapters and will continue with a new chapter EVERY SINGLE DAY forever, or until I stop.

Thanks! Yep, EVERY DAY, minimum 500 words, often far more.

At least, that's the goal. Glad you're enjoying, have a blast. :)

If there are going to be climate-justified subsidies for owning electric cars, there should be subsidies for not owning cars at all.

Just wish they hadn't evolved into glorified child care centers. They've been doing more in recent years, but they still have that ball and chain, which really makes things difficult.

The English water companies are demanding more money from the public after decades of neglecting infrastructure, taking on huge loans and paying out equally huge dividends.
What the water companies have done is taken away our human right to clean drinking water and in the process essentially committed theft at a large scale

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.

Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.

When I'm feeling down and in need of cheering up, I watch thd old comedy dvd's that used to belong to my parents. Dad's Army, Rising Damp, Blackadder etc. They always make me laugh and I can still hear my parents laughing at the same jokes as before. Miss you both x.

Amazon is convenient. But multiple times recently I've discovered stuff; ordinary stuff, cheaper elsewhere.

Example today:

Patterson & Ilford Film Processing Starter Kit

£99.00 on Amazon

or you could go (as I did) to a non-gigantic behemoth company, Bristol Cameras, who are literally a camera shop... in Bristol, and pay £81, including delivery, for the exact same item. And give the business to a small firm who might possibly appreciate it.

I should add that I have also found products that mysteriously and suddenly get cheaper than anywhere else I can find, on Amazon. And if I spot one that happens to, and it's something I need or want, I will take advantage. But more often than not (at least more generally, ignoring flexible pricing) other places are cheaper than Amazon.
RevK :verified_r: mastodon (AP)

Sadly it is often the case Amazon prime free delivery makes the difference to make Amazon cheaper. Not always, I agree.

Also, the Amazon "comes on Saturday" and "comes on Sunday", and "comes on bank holiday Monday" factor that few others manage, sadly.

I have moved on from Whisky from Amazon now, though...

Binding arbitration clauses are the new "Get out of lawsuits free" card for businesses. They're leaning on them like never before, and I'm willing to bet that you've probably seen a slew of emails in your inbox over the last couple months with subjects like, "We're updating our terms of service". Where if you weren't already bound by one of these, you will see that you are now.
Companies should not have a go to solution for getting out of virtually any responsibility for their actions.

Friend sent me this and it made me realize how many people see the writing on the wall, yet are entirely powerless to prevent this from happening.

Not that many of us are blind to the fact that democracy is under threat, yet our ability to stop the billionaires from crushing it entirely is limited.

We are watching the collapse of a system that brought us tremendous wealth and technological advancement. And the billionaires, in their quest for more personal wealth, are willing to sacrifices all our lives for it.
