Exactly the problem and they all cite a paper written by a pro life conservative who works at the Hamilton foundation which is a conservative ‘think tank’.

The paper itself is abysmally stupid. He emailed about 60 000 people with 5 or so confoundingly, unnecessarily complex question (manipulated) and about 30 000 or so responded and then he interpreted the answers and made the conclusion that like 90% of respondents agree that life begins at conception.

Morons say 90% of scientists agree, which is not even what the paper claims at all which itself is not good.

He could have just asked ‘does human life begin at conception’? Also he complained (author) in a podcast about the paper about how so many faculty at the college he was st during the paper writing urged him to discontinue the project as for various reasons and then spins that to basically say pro women’s rights advocates are in a conspiracy against life and were all democratic demons in a death cult (more or less)

True

Well I really like both the accoustic and original Sonething Human. I also like Drones (song in particular), Newborn, oh and I quite like all of the alternative song versions towards the end of 20th Century edition of Absolution Album

The intro to be with you sounds like it might up my alleyway

Maybe I’m just being obtuse but I really feel Matt Bellamy has the skill to be amongst the greatest artist (at lesst in pop/rock) but its like hes just not getting at it the right way or something. Its like hes edging greatness and that is frustrating

I think I listened to Cryogen and wasnt a huge fan but I’ll definitely see about the others.

Also it seems ones.enjoyment of a song tends to grow parabolically with time so if I really wanted I could just listen to it a lot and eventually id like it. Im experiencing this with Tool now. Never used to like them really but I have been enjoying the Aenima album

Muse has some great songs and good albums as well; however since Something Human I’ve been nothing but disappointed, personally.

Overwhelming sense of doom…im familiar but not inclined to enjoy lol

Yeah so…decaffeinated everything then.

It sounds like patience amd long term persistence is needed…which casts doubt on viability but if others can do it I suppose maybe I can too

Prescribed for depression before anyone including myself had any inclination towards ADHD diagnosis.

OK thats makes a lot of sense. I know im prone to ‘just winging it’ and thst works like 80% of the time but like the 20 or so I sometimes am literally or more figuratively up the crik without a paddle.

Stupid is dead accurate.

They claim to value nonbiased public education, yet clearly- they bias the education given in the areas they are dominant in. In public schools at, home, and any where elsen 2 MAGA are present, circle jerking ensues…they honestly need serius help / teaching-although many aren’t teachable true

I’ve lived in a area thet is mostly red area from birth until about age 20…

It is absolutely stunning the level of ignorance from many (most) MAGA. The circle jerk eachother something fierce.

Traitorous is an appropriate word for many, but for many-also- they are so uneducated, so uninformed, so lacking in critical thinking and accurate up-to-date news that, for those people, they may as well be considered retarded; and are victim to the FOX et al news and media sources. I dont know how the nation will ever get this cohort to change, unless there is a concerted (and well effective I guess)effort to improve education and some sort of changes to cable news, Facebook news and other uncool places where these peoppe get their news.

The rural people problem…

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding in the world about the scale of the USA’s problems, what individuals in the military do, what caused them enlist, how our population is orders of magnitude greater than most nations and how that has such a powerful effect and consequence to our democracy / republic.

I dont go around making these wild claims about other nations but many folks outside US see no issue for to make uninformed, inflammatory statements about us.

Its easy for them say : military bad Its true but not comprehensively true, as if it would be so easy for us to just stop. This shit is an incomprehensible large machine that has inertia…and it truly truly sucks. But can we please prioritize blaming and holding accountable the mother fuckers making these damn decisions instead of a mother fucking janitor or an accountant or truly does fuck all and definitely isnt killing anyone.

No doubt…unquestionably so, there will be investigations, eventually into the nature of attacks recently thst led to innocent lives being killed-- hopefully it is public enough for us to peer inside those happenings…

I am somewhat liberal and so I personally do not support state sponsored death penalties; however, I do wish the nation I am a citizen of would be more progressive, less war prone, and yes stop bombing other countries.
Especially death penalties for people with little to no agency.

If I make a to do list I almost inevitably add completely unnecessary fluff.

Such as

-remove winter clothing, wash, dry, refold -Delete old emails and create new email / up date subscriptions / cancel subscriptions -Relearn polynomial equations -memorize birds common in (my area) -learn how to identify trees in (my area) And then -Pay off credit card debt [doesnt seem as worthwhile compared to relearning polynomial despite it’s abject greater practicality and value]

I never thought I had ADHD until recently. About a month ago or something I was diagnosed. I have: however, for all of my life struggled apparently more than my peers. I couldn’t focus, I had meltdowns learning math and reading, (crying, yelling, shutting down ) I’m late places, Im often late to turn in work things or previously school things. After work 80%-90% of the time I feel completely numb, wasted, tired, and a little (or a lot) depressed.

The memes and the mental health awareness zeitgeist, I think helped me connect the dots where I used to believe it was just depression and a lack of motivation and or discipline and also a lack of socialization at the right ages resulting in less social skills and less self confidence.

I would say high fat and/or high sugar.

Some wines are identified as rich (little fat) Soups like beef burgundy is usually described as rich Something like a rose based syrup might be described as delicate by some if only eating a little (the floral is delicate maybe, the sugar and fat is rich) So yeah fat for sure but also the flavor characteristics-floral vs herbal vs dairy maybe

I exist mostly without relationships. I can barely fathom living with one romantic person. If that person then was able to execute sexual acts with others on a regular basis with relative ease I dont think we’d be compatible because our lives would be too different, experiences too different.

I can imagine, however, a different scenario wherein both of us pay for professional, independent sex workers occasionally-primarily themselves that are also adept in therapeutic massage. Maybe. But still it does seem like an odd zeitgeist for romantic relationships right now.

My grandad always says: 2 types of people, those who categorize people into 2 types of people, and those that do not.

I like yours as well.

I agree I dont see the reason for the hype.

I sure would like to go to the moon, maybe, but I wouldnt claim that my being there was special or impactful to the world other than I had a very privileged experience.

Someone mentioned to me that going to the moon is like the greatest thing we’ve ever done. I just dont think so. And it seems the answers I get to the question of why is it good is never very clear.

People seem to indicate something along the lines of

People going into space is a departure from Earth. And it was so hard. And it still is hard. All the calculations that must be accurate, all the technology, the difficulty of zero gravity on the body…we can spread humanity into the stars…(we are no were near that) think about the science (what about it?)

Things being difficult does not equal greatness or positive impact.

The thing that is good for sure, is technology innovation that impacts other areas than space.

Another thing that may be good is, having a moon colony. (There is a plan) But I havent looked into Artemis so much to see how much this trip is doing to forward that plan, if any.

Satellites great and all that. More knowledge about the moon and space great-but how much is the human needed, unless establishing a colony, like 80% of the good things about going to the moon you dont need people, unmanned.

John Snow arguably had more positive impact on humanity than all the moon efforts combined.

Its true that I am also not super into space exploration, so Im sure I lack a lot of knowledge but this is my opinion now.

Im happy for you that it worked out. I feel I am happy with the outcome of the whole thing even it may have been brief compared to others.

I am worried and excited about medication. I often se e posts with people in similar situations stating they take 2-3 medications sometimes 1 multiple times a day plus the other 2. I am certain I will fail to do that slme point. I am also certain on more than 1 day I will be successful, should I accept this route. Question is how successful, or unsuccessful would I be? I suspect it will be very hard and or unlikely given my other habit issues (eating, brushing, sleeping, waking, etc etc)

Ill check it out

He did not diagnose autism which I dont think really disagree with.

I am diagnosed ADHD Inattentive Executive function difficulties Depression (Anxiety, CTS) (These were more notes than diagnoses.

I do believe the way he explained how mood (depression, anxiety) can impact functioning and life in general really made a lot of sense. I will say the methods were not as rigorous as others have mentioned, there was an intake (1 hour), some forms i filled out, some forms people who knew me filled out, (difficult to get those done) and then a presentation of diagnosis after ‘clinical impressions’.

He said the depression and anxiety is foundational snd more important to treat than the ADHD.

He did not confirm or observe-repetetive motions, difficulty with textures, lights, or sounds, or restrictive interests. These were the the cutoff and I scored at or below all Autism spectrum batteries / tests.

What led me to suspect Autism was simply my longstanding feeling of outsiderness. And a distinct lack of social network and feeling irritable and stressed after doing what other people do (eating dinner with several people, going to club, sitting around and talking about last sex things, etc etc )and people often remarking to me how I am different or unusual or eccentric or weird or smart (i am not smart truly, but apparently I know more about a lot of different things than others apparently but i wouldnt claim tha other people do)

So that is how it went. I already felt so confirmed thst I had ADHD tha it wasnt surprise.

Unless I am locked tf in (‘hyperfocus’) lol
