  • Apparently it's bad form to use "Especially" at the beginning of a sentence. Huh, I didn't know that till just now.

  • I'm struggling to believe he could possibly think this has a chance of making any impact. There's got to be something else going on here cos it's going to be a massive uphill battle for him and he's already 76. I wonder what's driving him? Maybe it's the memory of that one time he felt cool on stage at Glasto? Just to put it in context 76 means he was born 4 years after Hitler died.

  • Open mouthed, permanently surprised and with a fixed expression that suggests some kind of paralysis. That's how I like my girlfriends.

  • While technically true, it is indubitably terrible optics for Trump. Specially since he was answering questions freely and then seemed to abruptly swerve that specific question.

  • Tell that to the poor sod who had to run in front of the first motorcars, waving a red flag.

  • The way I see it, my comments have prompted an enormous amount of discussion. The most interesting comment, I think, was from PixelProf when they said "Lots of students arbitrarily hating anything AI related". It's this blind, herd mentality that I attempted (apparently successfully) to start a discussion about. In fact a lot of what I wrote was driven by the point you were making, which I interpreted as being a funny take on the way people react to AI generated content.

  • Sure, but I expect they disrupted the workflow of folks in 1804...

  • Neither I, nor anyone, can "protect" it or slow it down. You either find a way to work with what's happening or spiral into greater and greater impotent rage. Better accept this now than slowly go mad no?

  • It doesn't matter what I (or anyone) "proposes". You may as well be asking me what I propose to do about the orbit of Jupiter. Arguing about it on the Internet is especially pointless. It's the new "Old man shouts at clouds" basically...

  • It's a paradigm shift and people always behave in unpredictable ways when those come around. It'll settle down eventually into just being a part of normal life.

  • Dammit you're right. Well, I guess that fixes everything.

  • It's crazy to watch the insane level of outrage that the existence and growth of AI produced content stirs up in some people when it seems obvious that the development of AI is unstoppable. It's like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared. I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years as they realise that being angry on the internet isn't going to slow anything down at all.

  • ADHD @lemmy.world

    What's your go-to method when the big overwhelm hits you with that ADHD + RSD one two punch?

  • Hmm... if a bunch of matchsticks fall on the floor, do you immediately know how many there are? If you do, I may have some news for you 🤣

  • Two words that have no relevance to that headline but are just there for clicks: "China" and "Ukraine".

    The headline is probably more like "Over sensitive flower at a University over reacts when one of two people who shboinked brags a little too much about it".

  • hmmm

  • Great to see my parents found an actual picture from when they were young of their walk to work..

  • I'm not a fan of Reeves in the slightest and do believe we should be extremely suspicious of anything she says. Having said that please read the article. it's such a weird take from the Guardian, some truly baffling mental gymnastics on display here.

  • Oh oh I've got an actual potentially brilliant solution for you! 😁

    It's called an Infinity Cube. I've bought like 20 of them and given most of them away (I have 2 now lol). They're not expensive but they have made a huge difference for me in being able to listen to people, period. I also use it for all the meetings I go to and in fact now I really notice what a struggle I go through if I forget to bring one.

    The one I linked is made of smooth black, rigid, silky material and has a perfect weight to it. It's also very quiet so people won't notice you're cycling it. I say cycle because that's kind of what it does in a sort of infinite loop and I think that's why it's so perfect for the brain squirrels.

    The other interesting thing I've noticed about it is that people more towards the AuDHD end of the spectrum don't vibe with it at all. Letting someone I'm talking to play with it has almost become a way to stealthily test if they are my flavour of ADHD hehe

  • Thanks for the suggestions! :) While I was looking I also stumbled across Monomyth. That seems like it could scratch my Stygian Abyss itch as well.

    Fediverse @lemmy.world

    So... apologies if this isn't the right place to ask and I will immediately go to the right place if there is a better one... but I have a question about fedia.io

    Because of my extroverted ADHD behaviours I assume that every social group I join will eventually have "had enough of me". Anyone else experience this?

    What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion?

    Do you feel safe enough to disclose your ADHD when you go to job interviews?

    Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description?
