Inventing excuses.
  • Yup. It's a developmental disorder instead of a mental illness (like autism). Our frontal lobe or prefrontal cortex didn't develop properly.

    I think ADHD is a horrible name for it. Executive Functioning Disorder is a much more accurate name.

  • The boys.
  • My best friend as a child lived like 4 houses down the cul de sac from us, and I was literally at his house every day.

    But still, every day I'd knock and ask if he could play, despite his parents telling me over and over that I could just come inside whenever I wanted.

  • Mental health issues caused them to be homeless. People with severe Bipolar, borderline, or schizoeffective disorders can't function in society without being medicated, and a choice was made to not take that medication.

    Sure, homelessness might make it worse, but their illness is what led to the homelessness.

  • A large part of the problem is that many don't want help. Taking antipsychotics sucks in a huge way, as well as quitting most hard drugs. (these demographics account for ~80% of the chronically homeless)

    Universal Healthcare won't change much since you currently can't force someone to take their meds or quit drugs.

    Chronic homelessness is a problem that won't be solved by throwing more housing or money at it. It's a super nuanced problem that requires changes at a societal level to address (which won't happen)

    A lot of people seem to think the majority of homeless are those who are just down on their luck, but that's just not true.

  • Auto Shutoff Light Switch?

    I have been searching on and off for years with no avail for a simple light switch that turns off after a preset amount of time to install on our closets. I just want a regular ass looking rocker switch, not one with a dozen timer buttons, not one with a motion sensor.

    I know I could just use a smart switch and have HA turn it off, but I'm waiting for TP-Link to release a Matter ready firmware update before buying more.

    I guess I could just use a sonoff relay, but I really don't think this particular application should require smart functionality.

    Anyone know of a switch like what I'm trying to find?
