I'm not aware of anything. Why are you looking, maybe there is something similar out there.

Y'all realize you're not convincing anyone, right? in c/[email protected]

I mean a group of people can talk about a common belief and explore some of the concepts further.

Matrix is great, if only I could convince my friends to use it.

Why do people say "Catholics and Christians" in (USA) when Catholics are also Christians, as if they refer to it as a different religion. in c/[email protected]

I grew up going to various Christian schools as a kid. While it wasn't a common viewpoint, I did hear of it from time to time.

The reason behind it, to my knowledge, was that Catholic practices would often be significantly different from other denominations' practices. The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.

The ADHD is hitting, so I fully admit I just skimmed your posts. If I'm missing something, please let me know.

I will reach out to some of my contacts to see if I can find someone close by. I'm in Minneapolis myself (Nicollet Island/Northeast, close to Otter's Saloon), but I've got < 600 sqft and a mess that can only be explained as a fun combo of depression and ADHD. It isn't ideal, but worst case scenario I can possibly put you up for a couple of nights (no promises, but I'll try).

Message me on here or on Discord (omgitburns) and I'll see how I can help.

Employed lemmings, how did you get hired? in c/[email protected]

I'm a software dev. I went to a recruiter and shouted "ME WANT JORB!!!1" and they gave me one.

However, I was only able to get my foot in the door because of friends I made in school.

I like how the link makes it look like scientist cats are being talked about.

I could be wrong, but wouldn't AIDS make it way more likely to get cancer? From my uneducated perspective, that seems like it would be a common thing.

ADHD is not being able to start, and not being able to stop. | How well does this describe your experience? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

For me starting is hard, super hard. Stopping is only hard because of time blindness.

However, much like with Autism, once you've met one person with ADHD, you've met one person with ADHD. The severity of symptoms can very greatly from person to person.

My greatest tragedy is that I literally always want a nap, right up until ten pm, when I feel utterly alive and electrified. in c/[email protected]

Not wanting to bother neighbors downstairs, mostly.

The desire to be productive after 10pm is the hardest part about living in an apartment for me.
