My brother (not adhd) was able to do it himself but basically compiled a database to do it.

Have a friend who is essentially bedridden who got denied 3 times before having an attorney file.

I wonder if it’s a bit like the food stamp process where what you get depends in large part on who you get as your program officer so it’s a bit of a crap shoot.

Will do:)

got it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

When you say blend it do you mean in a blender or just mix them?

As CBS affiliate WBZ-TV noted, the hotel claimed days later that Baker and Victor had used the same stall together and that one of them “put their hands on our security team[.]” Both women denied those allegations, and MCAD’s statement last week said the hotel had released a “false statement to the media,” which the commission found to constitute unlawful retaliation. The guard who initiated the incident no longer works at the hotel, the station reported.

“We deeply regret that our initial statement may have created unintended impressions about the actions of Ansley and Liz. That was not our intent…”

“Unintended impressions” lolol

The typical therapist advice about focusing only on the things you can personally change does not work well on macro issues. Issues that were created by lots of people working together like climate change require a bunch of people working together to fix. A bunch of people who don’t individually have the power to make any significant impact.

Moral philosophers get bogged down trying to figure out how to do a calculus that would reasonably obligate each individual to join the cause via our normal feelings of responsibility but these generally feel unintuitive and lack the kind of motivating responsibility most people feel towards things they had more control in creating or causing. I like Pinkert’s early work to help get my head around issues of collective responsibility and individual motivation.

Fact is that a whole lot of people need to take a leap of commitment to solve collective problems because if everyone acts rationally (in terms of their proportional responsibility to the problem and capacity to fix it) there is not nearly enough capacity to make a dent in issues like environmental pollution.

On the level of day to day life it depends on how you’re applying the advice but I personally don’t find it comforting to be told there’s nothing I can do to intervene—in this case too I feel better trying -something- and failing frequently vs forcing myself to be zen about my friend turning to drugs or my boss being a jerk all the time because my rational brain says my efforts won’t make a difference anyway.

You could also get out of the wagon and help pull, maybe unload the wagon too

reduced user reports of scams

Probably by hiding the reporting function or something

Free market is for chumps. Companies love to buy their suppliers and distributors and transportation hubs so they don’t have to deal with the market.

They already noped off of dry land as soon as the monkeys showed up

In 2020 Freakonomics did a dive into the effectiveness of adverts. Link below (transcripts too). There are sources listed and such. My tl;dr based on memory is that ads in general are not very cost effective for most companies. Ads are very cost effective for companies that sell ads though.

Damn a 100 cd changer then, mad respect

You idiots don’t have a 6 cd changer in your car? Pathetic!

I don’t really understand what you’re saying or which bit you’re responding to, both of what?

This isn’t at all to say her original stance was misguided. It is to say that she recognises genocide and ecocide come from the same root. Systems of power that destroy ecosystems also destroy people, also destroy planets, also destroy worlds. She is in many ways simply displaying a logical consistency, as much as a moral one, about the interconnected nature of the evils that plague our civilisation. And this is where she broke with a liberal class who see evils selectively and in terms framed and dictated by empire.

hear hear! Too many people who love the “first they came for” poem who still think Palestine is a pesky wedge issue being used against their boys in blue.

The flotilla is a humanitarian mission too! The whole Palestinian rights movement is. Thanks for keeping eyes on them Spain!

The communist manifesto was written for a different historical moment but so much of it is still spot on.

I mean come on, it opens basically like “Everyone in the current status quo has already painted communism as their biggest most powerful enemy, may as well unite and make it become that.”

Feels pretty topical given that multiple countries are thinking about naming antifa, which isn’t an organization, a terrorist group.

Shoot, I’m too poor for this. I’ll have to tape up some ads on mine

Being shitty is much easier and takes much less effort so it prevails wherever people don’t collectively resist it.

Depends on the context, but almost always a strawman imo.

Evil is simpler and easier to pull off than good (because you don’t have to value everyone in your equation), so “reasonable” compromises with evil compounded enough times leads to some pretty evil outcomes.
