I know this is referring to changing things,

But when “we” started snatching immigrants here in the US at their immigration hearings… the proper channels became meaningless.

I’ve seen the murderer’s perspective (the one marked Alpha News) all over, it’s confirmed real right? It looks real to me looking at reflections and how it syncs up and all that, but there have been dozens of AI videos of this already and I don’t know Alpha News so I thought I’d ask here.

I think not pursuing a position (or doing a lot of other things) due to your own values is always the right choice assuming no one else’s health and well-being is on the line. In this case I distinctly support your decision (I mean if anyone would it’s the people on Lemmy). I cannot stand that in every situation where an individual has even the slightest amount of desperation, like needing income to feed you and your family, a company will always, without fail, take advantage of it to save themselves the slightest bit of money. I’m not even inherently against the idea of digital pre-screening type processes like this assessment, but because the job seeker is usually in need of income, they will jump through these ridiculous hoops to make it work and companies know it so they put no effort into making it an easy process.

These are real human beings who, if they ever need to find a job again, will have to go through these SAME things and no one (with the power to do so) ever stops and thinks… man this sucks… we should make this easier.

Reading your response I believe there is a misunderstanding between us and it’s easily possible I didn’t write my last comment clearly or I’m just misunderstanding some of yours. Keep in mind, the focus of my first comment is on the sarcastic analogy in the response to the original “write a list” comment. I did a little bit of defending of that list statement a couple times already but I don’t want to keep defending their comment for them since I didn’t write it and it’s not my place to speak for them. They’ve responded here already and have been kinder than I have.

That said, I still believe the analogies used don’t line up with what was commented. I think a more accurate thing would be if the original comment said something like “Just do your tasks!”. That doesn’t tell you how to tackle anything, it gives no actionable advice. Saying to someone in a wheelchair “Just stand up!” is the same to me - It’s the end goal, just saying to DO the end goal is not real advice and is often deserving of a sarcastic “why didn’t I think of that” reply, since that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. I think I should have used that example instead of “keep it in your head” in my other reply, I think it’s more clear what I meant that way.

Have you ever considered that there are actually cases where people in wheelchairs regain partial motor function in their legs by going through rigorous physical therapy and training the muscles to bear weight again?

Yes, but that’s not “just standing up”. I think if you equate rigorous physical therapy to seeing a therapist and training the muscles to bear weight to some other proven tool for people with ADHD that would be a fair analogy and probably ok advice in both cases.

I know these situations are much larger in magnitude, but can’t you see how a solution for some is not a good suggestion for others? If I told someone with dyslexia to read more, odds are they will be irritated, even if it might be their solution.

Of course, I agree with you. Now I know nothing about treating dyslexia, so I’ll go with what you said that a good portion of children with dyslexia grow out of it through constant reading. If that’s the case, is it not fair to suggest that a child should try to read more? Not the “just read the paper!” idea, but give some tip about reading? In that case, is it really appropriate to poo-poo real techniques with a sarcastic response because it didn’t work for you specifically?

I get that the hostile responses feel bad… But wouldn’t you also feel bad if you were struggling with anxiety and someone told you to “just relax”?

Just to be clear, I’m not hurt by the response. I saw what I read as an overly sarcastic reply to a reasonably good-willed comment and so in my response I was snarky. In doing so, I know that if I don’t communicate my point well, if I’m plain wrong, if the general community disagrees with me, or hell if they just don’t like my attitude, that it can result in that type of response and so I was saying I “reasonably expected” it. I’m also fine with it and it was really that person I replied to defending themselves anyway.

Like I said in the last comment, I read the original bit as a half throwaway “Keep your head up” type comment. When someone’s sick, people tell them to feel better. If the response to “feel better” is “WELL GOLLY, WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT?! MY LIFE IS CHANGED” what do you expect people to say after? Trust me, I empathize with the struggles everyone goes through. People have given me advice that did fuck all, and I’ve given the same, nobody has all the answers.

Oh buddy, there’s over a thousand.

I did not suggest that a planner or list would fix their executive dysfunction. I suggested that their analogy, telling a person in a wheelchair to just stand up and telling people with dyslexia just read what’s on the paper, isn’t the same as what the other person was saying. Making lists is a thing that “can” help people with ADHD (I even put can in bold back in that other comment). I did not say, Ledivin, YOUR life would be solved if you just made lists. To your other point on this thread, I’m also not telling people to smile to cure their depression. I bet it feels like that for you both often and I understand the frustration that comes with that but that was not coming from either of us, that’s (probably) coming from your past interactions with others.

That other comment (not mine, I was being snarky with my “go off” bit so I reasonably expected the response I got) was just some words of encouragement and a small generalized suggestion. Nothing more than a “keep your head up” type thing, at least that’s how I read it.

every time someone suggested a planner to fix my executive dysfunction

Interesting how that’s not what I or the other person commented.

It would only be like your examples if they said to keep everything in your head. Using lists are one way people with adhd can help themselves, because now you have a list to go back to.

But please, go off.

It seems the point is the different UI.

TechCrunch also sent an email to an address that appears on the public domain records of two of the three websites. The person behind that address also did not immediately respond to our email.

It IS making a comeback. I’m not sure why this was the line for people, but as we get further into whatever the fuck you call what’s going on, I’ve noticed both retarded and faggot are coming back, unfortunately.

Yes and no. Over the years I’ve become an open book, willing to talk about how I feel about most things and pretty open about when I’m not doing well for one reason or another. On the other hand one of my buddies tells me he loves me and when I’m not drunk I still feel that tinge of discomfort returning it.

It’s a study, not a solution. The goal wasn’t to change the opinion of catcallers.

Seriously, draw people getting into a place, draw them getting drinks, draw them waiting for Uber or some shit.

I bought a t480 this year, and I’m kinda wondering how long I’ll be able to get replacement parts for it.

You could look up the songs used in San Andreas and put together your own Playlist. Fix the injustice in the world and all that.

I’ve been noticing a lot of comics getting posted to Lemmy lately having pretty bad opinions. Wonder what that’s about. The comments are full of disagreement so it’s not just the “Lemmy culture”.

Most people don’t realize how easy it is. Then it’s also hardware intensive to do locally. So, they end up going to some service online that does it and they charge.

I see you’ve met my father.

(He’s not an electrician, just blue collar with that opinion)
