True revolutionaries buy Sabian anyways

I think the difference is that it’s harder (impossible-feeling) for people with ADHD to abandon the nostalgia box distraction and get back to the chore they were doing. Or, once a person with ADHD finishes going through the nostalgia box and starts coming down off that dopamine hit, it can be hard (impossible-feeling) to do anything afterwards, let alone the boring chore, leaving the person stuck in a “frozen” state.

Obviously there are different levels of severity to ADHD, and my understanding of it is colored/biased by my personal experience, I’m not a doctor, etc., but this is the difference I’ve noticed at least.

That’s usually what happens when a political nightmare assumes one of the most powerful offices on the planet

That could have been part of the problem, yeah

You can save quite a bit by getting a refurbished Pixel - looks like the cheapest “Google certified” option (so it comes with a 1-year warranty) is a 6a for $250, which is nearly half off MSRP. I’ve been using my 6a since launch, so it’s been going for 3 years now and I have no desire to upgrade.

You can definitely get cheaper smartphones, but $250 for a 6a feels like a pretty big bang for your buck.

Of all the things even vaguely related to this post to be upset with, you chose to comment on title casing?

Eh, splitting the party (or at least exposing the division within the party) is a long shot, but it’s really the only productive way forward if the Democrats want to actually change and fix things. Repeatedly exposing Democrats that vote against the people’s interests is the most surefire way to get those Democrats voted out and replaced with more progressive candidates. Failing that, breaking away from the Democratic party and forming a new more progressive party isn’t the worst long-term option, even if it (probably) won’t be very effective in the near-term.

The first thing I thought was something like helping sort/categorize photos/documents/etc. for libraries or museums or something. But then that made me think of all the existing citizen science efforts out there where they have people categorize images of galaxies and stars and stuff, or run protein-folding simulations on their home computers, etc. I wonder if those kinds of existing things could be spun as “volunteer work”.

I’m fairly certain that 80’s Joe Burrow can’t fit in my pocket

That was neither clear nor succinct, but it sounds like you agree that for protesters, police are a bigger problem than the National Guard. Which was the point being made by the comment you originally replied to in this thread.

You have to see them as legal professionals.

Nah, not until they act like it.

Can you do me a favor and restate your point in clear, succinct language? I’m not really following the point you’re trying to make with all this “law professional” stuff

The police system actively rejects people for being too smart, and ousts people that ask too many questions. I don’t know if the “legal experience” police officers receive is the kind of experience we want them to receive.

Police are those who actually study the law.

Funniest thing I’ve read all week

Semantic debates are easy to feel like you’ve won, they’re the low hanging fruit of the debate world. Sometimes people (including myself, I’m guilty of it too sometimes) just want an easy win.

For Christmas’s sake, boxing is a combat sport. The whole point of combat sports is to incapacitate your opponent via violent means. Do you actually think safety is the real concern here? If it was, you’d think the focus would be on better equipment, rule changes, rule enforcement, etc., not the (largely irrelevant) existence of a Y chromosome in an athlete’s genome.

Political wins, humanization and support for the existence of non-cis people, it’s potato potahto to you right?

They know who plays their games and more importantly who buys their games.

Is this not a bit of a “chicken and egg” argument though? Adults have pretty much always been the ones buying games, but they haven’t always been making them for adults. Even if kids are less than a quarter of all gamers, they’re still a sizeable chunk of the audience. Doesn’t really make sense to just ignore them.

Hey why do you think they call it “grave” danger

You can remark on how that orange is closer to red, and how that one is closer to yellow though
