Was there not some issues with the animal trials last year or am I misremembering?

Eventually I will get to there but I see it as part of the grieving process for my lost communities for now

This community only exists because the shower is one of the last places left where it’s still uncomfortable to use a smartphone.
Currently reading this in the shower...

This dude is just a troll. He is posting it on a bunch of communities saying the same thing trying to get a rise out of people. Don't feed and move on

In light of articles all over Lemmy about Google pushing ManifestV3 onto Chrome and the majority of web users, isn't that an antitrust violation?

Even if alternatives die though, we could force google to sell off portions of itself to up and coming orgs/options like they did with AT&T. Or put in privacy protections that will allow alternatives to begin again and grow.
I don't understand the ins and outs of it all but we can't let fear of it taking too long or alternatives dying stop us from fighting monopolies and privacy protections.

Cute but be careful. I lost a cat this way. It was in the dryer and my mom didn't know and started it.

How do you deal with ADHD
Reply in thread
I find this so frustrating. Because the ADHD can cause anxiety to be worse so by just addressing the anxiety you aren't addressing the whole picture. At least offer some testing/ off label non stimulant options.

How do I seal this hole?
My first thought is great stuff but honestly I have only used it in a crafting context and I am sure someone else will have a better idea or be able to explain why my gut reaction is not going to work. Also could look ugly if the foam expands out of the hole though it can be cut off to be even once cured.

Schools have too many days off, can cause learning loss and stress.
The first point made in the article was about parents lost opportunites for careers and how hard it is to get work done. I didn't get much further due to frustration.

How do you stay focused when studying?
I have had some success with Pomodoro timers. Honestly now that I am older I am resorting to trying to reduce my digital presence (which is funny because here I am lurking on lemmy avoiding work) and doing a lot on paper. Printing out worksheets, handwriting things, putting my phone in a drawer where I can't randomly pick up and get distracted for an hour. Its a rough start but its helped a little.

I don't know. I find this refreshing. I had been a major lurker on reddit but here it feels like its truly a community, but maybe that's the novelty of it.

I use jak sie masz. The phrase from Borat which apparently also means how are you in polish.

What apps do y’all use?
I'm using habitica but honestly I hate the app and there is some drama there that may make me leave. Also I have integrated all my calendars so it is all linked to my Google calendar and shows work and personal. And Trello it's a virtual kanban board with cool integrations

Very relatable
I am seeing a few negative comments on here and it's baffling. It's a post about learning that your issues had something to do with a mental health disorder. No where in this post did it say my coworkers should fix it. My partner and friends and family need to be involved deeply in my health care. (Though part of my journey was talking to those people and asking them to point out things about my behavior I didn't think about or realize might be part of ADHD)
When I first learned I had ADHD I was sort of baffled and lost. I couldn't see how it got missed and it felt like someone should have noticed but no one did and I am still in the process of unpacking years of self doubt and terrible thoughts. Part of that process is realizing why people may not have noticed, or why you might not have noticed. Hell had a friend not asked me if I had ever been tested I wouldn't have even considered asking a professional.
This point doesn't read as blaming the people around them so much as grief at learning late. Grief at not reaching out sooner. Maybe some grief at someone not simply saying hey you okay? But it doesn't read to me as blaming anyone just sadness.

Agree a hundred percent. Also I grew up in an area that still doesn't have consistent cell reception so everyone always has a set of wrenches and the Haynes manual to their car.
