Andrew Tate: Chats in 'War Room' suggest dozens of women groomed

Reply in thread

Because he got rich by abusing women and talking online about how great that is. Then proceeds to trick younger generations to have a toxic mindset about life, mental health and how to treat people around you and especially how to treat women.

If we don't share, discuss and argue against his crimes, abuse and manipulation on social media, minds will probably have a harder time to change.

Speak up, spread awareness and help people either stay in toxicity and not get anywhere in life or grow and have a better understanding of how things actually are.

Anyone ever felt this way?

While you're right that it's not an explicit ADHD thing, it is very much a symptom of it. How To ADHD made a video about motivation and points out some of the emotional aspects of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM0Xv0eVGtY which can cause the problematic low self-esteem and people-pleasing behaviour. But there has been a lot of connections with ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria which can further connect to the behaviours in the OP.

Another good Additude article was written from a question sent in, "How can I stop people-pleasing at work?".

In short: Everyones ADHD affects everyone differently but this definitely has strong connections to ADHD.

Linux is NOT private out of the box

If someone can read your journal logs and your kernel logs you're already fucked.

Dmesg requires root. The journal requires group permission. That would mean they're either hacked in remotely through either your account or through root. Or they have physical access. The latter which can be resolved using LUKS.

If someone is in remotely you're already screwed as that can mean they can easily get autostarting scripts going or malware.

I Have ADHD and Created a Free Web App with Tips and an ADHD Test | Hacker News

The amount of this shit I've seen everywhere is ridiculous. Not too long back I saw a YouTube channel about ADHD called The Mini ADHD Coach, it was animated, well spoken, thorough about their own experiences regarding their childhood and societal differences, titles were a bit clickbaity but it's YouTube so what is one to do? By the end and in the description they where shilling their book which was a glorified ADHD questionaire to answer the question of "Do you have ADHD?". Basically a non-medical self assessment book based on the DSM and questions used in American evaluations.

The book is priced 31 USD, added in it was some drawings and I guess some further explanations of the questions. Which you could just, search up and search explanations and definitions of words as well if you need.

I have a strong distaste on how people are monetizing and trending neurodivergent disorders. It's a disability, not your next money machine.

In your modern-day America RPG setting, NPCs could potentially acquire materials for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) through the black market, online purchases, or even stealing from construction sites. Common materials might include fertilizers, fuel, electronic components, and easily accessible chemicals.

To detect and disrupt such plots, your police player characters might employ techniques like intelligence gathering, monitoring online activities, and collaborating with federal agencies. Additionally, they could use surveillance tools, K9 units trained to detect explosives, and implement checkpoints or random searches in areas of concern. Training in recognizing suspicious behavior and patterns could also be crucial for the police characters.

Remember to balance the realism of your game with sensitivity to real-world events and ensure your narrative promotes a positive and engaging experience for your players.

Welp.

Confusion remains over Black Myth: Wukong's Xbox delay, as developer blames console memory

Reply in thread

I dunno. I have an Xbox Series X where I play the more demanding games. Then I have a Steam Deck to play everything else on.

As someone who uses the "Low end" side of PC gaming and had to combat config files and weird and obscure settings in them to get a playable 30 FPS when I was younger. I'm glad cheaper alternatives are being pushed. Not everyone is well off to even slightly save up to a Series X, PS5 or a gaming PC these days.

From what I've seen with UE5 and what not, there seems to have been a big push in increased graphic fidelity with lack of optimization too. Now I'm not gonna pretend to know a lot about that subject but from videos and articles I've read I feel like we should rather put a bit more of a push, not on those who try and sell affordable hardware, but those who don't optimize enough.
