    I think the problem with simple things like this are not that they don’t work, but that the problem arises in the actually doing of the things.

    Personally my primary problem from ADHD is executive dysfunction, and it is SO hard to convey to people/advisors and such that yes, if I did all these “easy” solutions it would help, but the problem is the doing of the thing, creating a bootstrapping problem. To do the productive work you need to use x strategy but you can’t do x strategy because brain says no.

    I think if as you have you can make these simple things habit it will help immensely, but as you said it takes a lot of willpower.





  • Yeah that’s fairly textbook procrastination and then deadline stress - driven productivity, which is fairly common for ADHD people. Not enough to prove it on its own, but if you also identify with a lot of other things in this community it may be worth looking into

    A few other examples off the top of my head that I have:

    • executive dysfunction (trouble starting tasks, even that you ‘want’ to do
    • often abandoning hobbies and personal projects for new, interesting ones
    • trouble staying focused on tasks that dont have that immediate deadline pressure
    • trouble forming habits
    • often fidgeting/stemming when not thinking about it

    And reminder that even if you don’t have stereotypical ‘hyperactivity’ symptoms you still might have a form of ADHD, for example I don’t, for me it just manifests as often fidgeting, but not much beyond that.


  • Yea its a meme of the format of the TikTok ban message, though there is also a sub-joke is the PID being how the US’s political parties swing back and forth, which is in the part where TikTok referred to trump planning on revoking the ban, and that it just needs to wait for it to finish swinging back right.


  • Honestly I’d say that is both a part of how the rich stay rich, and also can be classed under exploiting the working class because they don’t pay their share and so all the burden falls on the working class, and then we get worse public infrastructure which hurts primarily the working class.

    Oh and then the also exploit that public infrastructure for profit while not paying their taxes for it


  • It’s because the system of check and balances was designed assuming the people within the system are acting in good faith. The republicans are not, as as such can abuse the system and the people who are acting in good faith

    There is also the discussion of how our system is designed to let the people who have power keep that power

    I think you might over-estimate how common that would be if such hate and opinions were not supported by the state or at least not ignored by the state, but it is an understandable concern, but I see a few possible arguments against it.

    • the lack of such freedom of mobility and movement of culture would let cultures mix and have more interaction, which has been shown to increase acceptance of different cultures, and reduce hate.

    • there will almost always be cultural differences, and dislike between groups, but especially without class struggles it will be less common for them to elevate to the levels of lynchings, and outright conflict. Hell, even just looking at the US, it has a decent amount of separate cultural regions but not much conflict based on that. It is mostly interpersonal conflict, class-based, or from reactionaries to minorities.

    Like united as in sharing the same governmental structure (or lack thereof sometimes), freedom to move and travel anywhere, and probably more or less similar ideals for such a thing for actually work.

    There still obviously would be things to fight over and probably some amount of small-scale civil conflict. There would also still probably be areas with with similar cultures, but with softer and more grey edges and mixing.

    This is also more or less just the Marxist ideal of things, I have slightly different ideals personally. Mostly that there does need to be a fairly defined state and governmental system to maintain socialism/communism, help organize large-scale resource allocation and transport on a global scale, and provide structure for civilization-scale projects like progressing human knowledge and science, space travel and exploration, etc.



  • I mean, I guess, but the choice is blazing support for genocide and still support but slightly less with a somewhat better chance of support for a ceasefire or wherever. It’s a fucking shit choice, but imo there is still a correct one.

    I also think being anti-electoral is problematic, idk how much of that y’all are but that’s a different conversation. I’m probably gonna make a post on c/actualsocialism soonish to try and understand the positions of mods/active users of this community and that one (as I understand it they are sister communities), what is meant by democratic socialism not being allowed (I used to call myself one but don’t currently, mostly just cuz such labels are more confusing than helpful imo), and how y’all would define my current positions and how they differ from the broader ones of the communities.

    (You don’t need to respond to those questions here though as I don’t wanna clog up this post with discussion of them)
