I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.

My first thought was “wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?” No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.

Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.

Edit:

Actually it’s worse than that, isn’t it? They’re seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.

Good luck with that I guess.

Just admiring the kill.

The difference is none of this kid’s peers will have a similar experience

It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.

The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.

Google is worse than useless to me now.

See, I read “a little ADHD” and could immediately think of real examples of family members, coworkers, and even medical professionals saying the full thing:

“Everyone is a little ADHD, so don’t worry about it so much.”

Or:

“Everyone is a little ADHD, so I totally know what you’re going through.”

Or my personal favorite:

“Everyone is a little ADHD, so stop complaining.”

I’m pretty sure the post is addressing the people who do not have ADHD and who go around saying things like “that’s just called being forgetful” when someone describes their symptoms. I see it often in response to people openly questioning if they might have ADHD.

I don’t think it’s addressing people who have ADHD but don’t know it yet or are questioning.

I have been experiencing a lot more of the “ADHD is made up” mentality lately than I ever have before. Not sure why exactly, but I’m guessing OOP has been feeling it too.

Wow, that is absolutely different from how I read it, which is:

“Stop gatekeeping ADHD just because the symptoms don’t always look like symptoms.”

I’ve been experiencing a lot of problems lately where people don’t want to take ADHD seriously. They brush it off as “oh everyone experiences that”, and even sometimes take it all the way to “ADHD isn’t real”

I hope it’s still hot!

So your solution is to vote in protest for a party you know won’t win.

I’m actually curious now, what possible good do you think that’s doing?

More like “you think you’re helping but you are not”

In a two party system, voting third party will only ever result in your vote being thrown out. It is taking a stand against reality for the sake of your own personal idealism.

A lot of left-aligned voters learned that lesson the hard way in 2016. If you didn’t learn the lesson, you either weren’t paying attention or your idealism is more important to you than the actual outcome of the vote.

Doing that willingly, despite (or maybe because) the rest of your side screaming at you not to fuck this up again, is absolutely a level of betrayal.

Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.

I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.

Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.

The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.

I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.

Wow you are absolutely right. There it now is.

Pretty sure they don’t exist

That’ll be Slave War II

99 percent of ADHD memes are just describing normal human condition.

And when a normal human condition becomes a significant problem, we call it a disorder.

Hey yeah it’s funny you ALSO forget shampoo sometimes. Yep, that is normal. Sounds like it’s not a problem for you then. Cool.

I will be using manipulatious in conversation now. Thank you

The divinity games definitely felt inspired by DND. I’ve even been able to convince friends (including some who don’t play video games at all) to pick it up because of how similar it feels to tabletop. Larian was a natural choice for BG3 and I’m convinced that was part of the vision with their early work

It is right up until the hemorrhoids

This step is in so many European dishes, you might as well always get started on it early.
