lib.lgbt (obvs) and blahaj.zone come to mind.

At university, I medicated heavily with “the hard stuff” - stimulant medications. These took a heavy toll on my body; I had nervous tics and twitches galore. The meds gave me enough focus to develop good study habits and after 2-3 years I ceased them.

Once I joined the workforce, I focused on doing things that I was passionate about. For me, ADHD doesn’t always mean lack of focus; I can hyper focus when I’m motivated by something. Having a job that I liked to do turned me into a low grade workaholic (too much hyper focus!) but I became successful in my career.

For the past few years, I’ve been medicating with a non stimulant that I tolerate very well. I still do what I love, at work, and Strattera helps me stay focused on doing the things that are most important to my employer and myself, but my days of being a workaholic are over.

If you are like me, then doing what you love is essential, and finding the right medication is a big help, though not strictly essential.

Well, now it’s surrounded by Azerbaijan – not so much before 2020, though!

This was a fascinating read that led me down a rabbit hole of other queer Forwards content. Thanks for sharing!

Astoundingly, it’s still defaced at this very moment.

How incompetent are they?!

I, too, wish to see Wet Gremlins.

It’s the same thing; I was just being sloppy with terminology.

I switched my Android assistant to a man’s voice; a woman’s voice serving as my digital assistant has always felt mildly sexist to me.

All fair points. Consider us all baited!

One fallacy of this argument is that it’s only valid as long as the value of your home increases more quickly than the cost of work put into it. Absent inflation or swelling demand for homes (I.e. population growth I.e. immigration), flipping homes risks gaining you nothing more than a higher property tax base. Maybe it works in Florida, but not everywhere.

Also: if people insist on treating their primary home as an investment, then we can take away all of these tax advantages the article crows over and we’ll find that suddenly, the deal isn’t so good.

What a grift: converting a public good (supportive housing policy) into personal gain. This attitude will be another nail in the coffin of the “American dream“ of universal home ownership.

In the US press, there was some coverage of the sier/xier body of neo pronouns for enby people. Are those the ones you mention that didn’t catch on?

Haven’t quit Reddit yet, but I am only posting or commenting to Lemmy and I exhaust the feed here before browsing Reddit.

I’m not highly involved in any communities there, else I’d attempt a mass migration.

This.

My pet hypothesis is that Putin and Prigozhin were engaging in a bit of play acting to stage Wagner troops for an action against Ukraine (Prigozhin benefits) and illustrate the legal and financial measures that Putin will take against powerful dissenters (Putin benefits).

With 25k troops, there’s simply no way Wagner could have succeeded in a coup. The regular army is better equipped and could have severed their supply lines with minimal effort, starving the coup with minimal bloodshed. They could have done this in their own interests, and not necessarily in defense of Putin.

Considering how swiftly Wagner’s offices were raided and their assets seized, this affair makes more sense as a morality tale to caution antsy oligarchs than as a military action.
