Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court immunity decision: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution"
you guys are going to have to vote like your lives depends on it, coz it probably does. at what point does this become civil war? it feels like you guys are in a death spiral, and the only way out of it is to literally take out the other side. honestly if the rest of the world has to come over there and bash your heads together we'll be properly pissed good luck We're all going to need Trump to lose signed, The World

Studios are cracking down on some of the internet’s most popular pirating sites
jellyfin with sonarr and radarr and now jellyseerr make the whole process simple. usenet and nzb are the way now i just wait 10 min to get the film/series i want and then watch it. a minor delay I'm more than happy with. I'd be happy to pay if, and it's a big if, the studios can catalogue all their shows in one place. i can watch without adverts. i can pay per episode if i want. I'd rather pay 50c an episode than pay for the whole service. let me curate what I want to watch on my terms. until then, the high seas win every time

In just a few years, half of all states passed bans on trans health care for kids
Reply in thread
the number of transitioned people who were harmed by the process is significantly less than the people who feel it improved their life significantly. there are failures across all medical procedures, you don't see people denying appendectomies to people because a few people died? get over yourself and let people live their best life

Anyone else feel like their ADHD was always there but got progressively worse as an adult?
I'm 50 and I have my ADHD assessment in a month. I'm in software too similar to OP. for me the impulsiveness has gotten worse where i react with deregulated emotional outbursts that are affecting me and my family. I've got a bunch of processes to handle a lot of the symptoms but impulsiveness was never something I noticed I had until recently. I've always known i don't have much of a filter, blurting out whatever is forefront in my head. I've asked a number of my medicated friends and I'm told the medication does help with the emotional impulsiveness, providing the time to filter. but it does feel weird doing this at 50 🤯

Anyone relate?
diagnosed in my 50's
always known I'm different lol
coasted subjects I liked but failed subjects I hated.
I was disruptive and constantly outside the headmasters office. in those days I got the slipper and cane..
mum called me hyperactive and blamed tartrazine from orange cordial. looking back I was casebook ADHD.
now I have a diagnosis I'm able to get the support and connections to my kids that I never had myself. teaching techniques and understanding what's going on for them when they have meltdowns.
to be fair they didn't have ADHD diagnosis on the 70's so I'm just happy I can support my kids knowing what I know and why

My last view yesterday of the US; one-way ticket.
left the UK 13yrs ago and never regretted it
skills shortage list is how I got in, and being under 40 (at the time) gave me points in their system.
anyway just going to drop this here if YouTube is allowed

smoking
multiple attempts over the years like everyone else who smokes. smoker for 20years but i wanted to quit. life managed to interrupt my attempts fairly regularly but what got me was nicotine chewing gum. that really helped with the addiction so i could focus on separating the act of smoking from the addiction. this worked on so far as i realised I was addicted to chewing gum and had removed the act of smoking. addicted to chewing gum? what a stupid thing to be addicted to! the absurdity was quite clear and I stopped that day. 13 years ago. dabbled here and there but find it gross and disgusting. have vaped a bit of other people's, and even smoked for a week once. that was disgusting, my body felt awful my lungs hurt and i couldn't taste anything. so i guess this ramble is too say never give up and try to separate the addiction from the act to make it absurd. good luck

National and ACT lose majority in largest ever Parliament
I'm so happy with this. NZF screw everything they touch so making National and Act work with NZF is going to stick on their craw. its beautiful. but then a right wing government truly sucks. expect more asset sales and more crappy policies helping the rich and screwing the poor. just a shame we didn't get enough for labour/tmp/green coalition hopefully they'll fuck up so badly everyone goes green/red next election

DNS Piracy Blocking Orders: Google, Cloudflare, and OpenDNS Respond Differently * TorrentFreak
This article was all I needed to go install unbound and use that as my upstream server for pihole. Took me 20min and it's been working for the past few hours. Easy and now all my dns are my own. You don't even need a pihole, just point your router dns to the unbound server. It works out of the box with no configuration unless you want to configure it. Easy

Safe travels...
this was me about 30 years ago on a larp where at midnight we came across a mage in a circle.. along with a scarecrow.. I smacked the scarecrow with my sword and it screamed and lunged at me.. I ran away bravely and as fast as possible straight into a tree, dropped my lantern and carried on screaming into the night. the most scared I've been in larp, proper suspension of disbelief. thanks for the memory 😆
