  • Does this graph account for the huge lack of available diagnosis?

    We’ve been on waiting lists for YEARS that only grow and grow to get a 2 hour appointment with someone who can diagnose us with ADHD.

    It’ll never happen, I’m sure. The government would rather not put resources into diagnosis, so they can claim almost nobody has ADHD, and not provide any support or recognition for it.

    Could be, but everyone’s opinion of what’s boring is different.

    Have you ever had to watch an American Football match? Besides very little actual foot on ball action (it was more like rugby but with lots of padding, fair enough, but at least change the name so it’s not so misleading), they kept constantly stopping every 30 seconds or so to have a little meeting, and for their like… 3 or 4 referees to have a chat and move some flagpoles around.

    It was SOOOOO boring! It went on for HOURS because they constantly would stop for little meetings, interrupting the flow of the action every time it started to maybe get slightly interesting.

    The only saving grace was that the weather was nice, there was an easily accessible bar, and in the field behind the pitch there was a local radio controlled aircraft event, so while the players were milling about not playing - which again was so very boring and frequent - I could watch the cool remote controlled planes and stuff and have a pint.

    Anyway, my point is, one person’s ultimate excitement is another person’s ultimate bore-fest.





  • Our modern anti-protest laws are, if anything, even more restrictive than the old Emergency Powers Act.

    Nope. The country is too brainwashed by whatever propaganda is fed to us through their only window into the world these days (phone, TV, newspaper, but importantly not the world and people around us).

    We no longer have any real grip on the reality around us, no grounding in our local community, no heads up looking at what we can actually see.

    Everything we take in is fed to us through carefully crafted algorithms and long term propaganda campaigns designed to make us think what they want us to think (they being a wide range of actors none of whom have our best interests at heart - the government, the rich media owners, foreign powers looking to damage our society, etc).

    Can a society (can we even call ourselves a society, if we’re now just a bunch of strangers who never look up from our phones to notice each other exists? Are we a society if we don’t even know our neighbour’s names? Or what’s happening in our community?)

    …Can a society come together to take any sort of strong meaningful action after so much brainwashing, turning us is against each other, convincing us our rich ruling class masters know best, building so many anti-protest and anti-freedom laws that they can lock you up if they feel like it with no reproductions, for any made up reason they like?

    And in the mean time, constantly spy on you, observing where you spend your money, what websites you visit, where you go, who you speak to, etc, every single day, in order to identify those who would be a threat to their power?

    No. There won’t be another General Strike in the United Kingdom, and if there were some small, fractured last gasp attempt at one, it would quickly crumble under the boot of our capitalist overlords.

    How can a simple doorbell camera have… let me convert from ye oldie measurements… almost a KILOGRAM of copper in it?!

    Does it have a big heatsink for some reason?

    Or is someone just trying to trick thieves into trying to steal them? Which is pointless, at best it would only work once, maybe.
