Sad to hear this news.

Not since about 1988. Thanks for the memory!

The couch thing was true all along!

I’m not OP, but I wanted to wish you good luck.

I was diagnosed in my 50s after my parents had passed, so I can’t do what you want to do. But one thing I’ve found with a neurospicy brain is - there are bad things and good things associated with it. For example, I am really good at learning new things, so I know a little bit about many subjects (and admittedly deep knowledge about some things that don’t matter very much). But that can be a marketable skill.

Finding techniques that work for you can help minimize the bad stuff, while maximizing the good stuff. For example, me making physical lists helps me to unburden my brain and concentrate on other tasks. Checking off tasks when complete is a physical reminder of doing stuff and gives me a feeling of accomplishment.

It’s the only brain you’ve got. You’ll need to find out what works for you, and write that shit down so you don’t forget! 😎 But on your talk to yourself and others, and to that, I think it’s important to frame both the bad and the good.

Best of luck to you!

This is me, too. Undiagnosed ADD until my 50s. No H, probably like you. Misunderstood for decades. It was really hard for my parents, but they had no idea and are now passed.

Learning about it made everything click about my difficult life, but made me proud of what I had accomplished in spite of ADD. And now I have a toolbox of methods I can use to recognize my ADD as it is happening, and help counteract it. I also have medication to help.

I think one of the things I needed to know is, ADD / neurospiciness can also be an asset at the workplace. One of the marketable I excel at is learning new things. Whenever I am given a new skill to learn, I dive into it passionately. I love learning new stuff! So that fits perfectly with IT, which is constantly moving forward with new technology.

And with that I’m currently working on a late-life Masters degree in IT. So, happy ending, I guess. Find your niche!

Still both from automobile infrastructure. /c/fuckcars bleeding into every Lemmy…

So, what you’re telling us is, they’ve been lying for decades?

I sometimes tell people “it’s complicated” to test the waters if I want to be truly honest it not.

You’ll separate your friends from your good friends.

The article resonated with me, and I’m glad you posted it. Thank you.

They are paid for their services!

Ooh, I can’t wait to play! This looks awesome!

First off, holy crap, thank you for sharing this site. I had no idea about it! I will definitely check it out.

Second, this seems like something I would pay for, to get more space. Is that available? I could not find that on their website.

I just bought it for my phone a couple days ago, and it sucked up my weekend.

Just one more game!

You’ve touched on the cycle of enshittification. Step 1, everything is free and wonderful. Step 2: milk those customers for money.

The solution is to favor and support services which take capitalism out of the equation. It might cost a little bit, but I think a few small donations can go a long way.

Yes, and Codeberg just announced that they forked Redis.

As it turns out, nobody needs Redis now!

Redis is dead.

Long live Redict, which is a Redis fork maintained by Codeberg.
