Not diagnosed, on online “tests” I score just shy of the ADHD threshold, and I find myself in this. If only I properly remembered and agreed on what I wanted to do yesterday it would be fantastic. Even if I write it down and happen to remember to check the notes, it’s almost like I was a different person yesterday, todays priorities are all new

Don't know the tests you refer to, but it's recognized that many adults have ADHD symptoms not quite meeting DSM-5 criteria for ADHD. It's called "subsyndromal" ADHD which causes as much disability and responds to treatment just as well as "full" ADHD cases. IOW it's absurd to regard someone with 6 symptoms as belonging in a different category vs. a person having "only" 5 symptoms. Anyway, ADHD is a condition that usually responds to treatment, no reason not to check into it.


Thanks, I know I could probably get a diagnosis and treatment for it. However, to be honest I kind of like it! I think it keeps me on a different path wrt most people, so until it becomes a serious problem (financially) I’ll keep riding the waves of focus and distraction ;)


Of course, it's always entirely up to you. But wise to stay alert to documented ADHD effects, e.g., on social functioning, general health, increased risk of accidental injury, depression, anxiety, to name a few. In any case, treatment won't undo the uniqueness of your path, if anything likely to augment reaching goals your path leads to.

The point is what value can the common man reasonably provide in the free market to support a family when most of white collar work is also automated?

The industrial revolution automated a lot of blue collars, AI is starting to seriously automate white collars to the point less people are needed.

They are automating the mind, there’s not much else to compete with to provide value. Which color people should pivot to?

At this rate: red.


And the horizon you see standing on the beach is just about 5km or 3 miles away!


Building muscle is a real reason


That’s almost nothing. 1 hour a week, at least in Italy, and mostly sports stuff close to cardio no weight training.

I feel good with at least 4 hours a week of bodyweight training plus some cardio.


Also italian


Yes. See Europe


Apparently not because I am fine


Every day. Now that I am in my own home I actually have a warm bath every evening, it’s a great way to end the day. I can skip one day in rare occasions but feel too uncomfortable going more than that, not because of stink or others noticing but because I just don’t feel clean


I wonder what uncontacted tribes think about starlink


If I hadn’t known what starlink was the first time I saw it, I would have assumed it was something artificial - the spacing and trajectory is far too regular to be a comet breaking up or something like that.


well, if you could observe these things with the naked eye, they might imagine it's similar to a passing meteor.


You absolutely can see them with the naked eye. Very easy to spot on any given clear night if you know what to look for, especially when they’re moving in a cluster. They don’t look like meteors, far too slow.


I saw them myself with my naked eyes! They look like the iss
