  • If I can shill for a second, we’ve got a Kenmore with a blade that automatically cuts tangled up hair while the vacuum is running and it’s fucking incredible. No straining the motor, no hot dusty hair stank, no wrestling with the vacuum on the floor. It’s intended for houses with pets, but it works on human hair just as well.


  • Part of the problem with ADHD diagnoses is that a lot of it is just normal stuff everybody experiences, but way too much. If you poop once a day it’s normal, if you’re pooping 10 times a day you go see a doctor, you know?

    So not enjoying making calls is normal, but if it twists you up in knots and you are putting it off even when you WANT to do it just to get it over with, that’s the kind of thing that can be indicative of something else going on.

    Edit: lmao, somehow I mixed up this and a post about hating making calls, but the same concept applies to keeping track of time for appointments too.








  • Fundamentally, your question is “does it make me a bad person if I have done bad things?”, which is so complicated that people make entire philosophies and religions out of the answers to that, haha.

    My view: you can be a good person who has done bad things, if you change your behavior and try to make amends. That doesn’t mean everyone has to accept or forgive you, but it’s a necessary part of being a good person.





  • Yeah, I’m not sure what it means either, which means I’m not sure how many red flags the earlier thread I linked should be setting off. A random mod on LW being respectability politics about neopronouns is meh, someone higher up the chain than that and it’s brake pumping time IMO.

    Also like, presumably everyone else on LW thought they were allowed to moderate their communities how they saw fit before that announcement, you know? My understanding is the LW admins shelved the policy for retooling, not retirement, so personally it’s not something I would want to chance. I don’t think anyone is purposefully lying to you guys, but I also don’t think they’d make an exception just for 196 to do whatever it wants with any future instance rule changes.
