  • I generally surf Lemmy first for a while, and then scroll reddit because there is simply more content. I have been participating less and less on Reddit and trying to participate on Lemmy more. But for things like episode discussions for various TV shows, reddit is really the only game right now and I do like trading those.

    Eventually reddit will most likely completely leave my rotation, because they are really trying to make it as shitty as possible.







  • Yeah, a really surprising effect of finally getting diagnosed with ADHD and starting meds is that I’m actually able to emotionally regulate and self-soothe. A lifetime of depression and anxiety could have been managed so much more easily.

    Also I find it odd that people say “ADHD is over diagnosed” but everyone I know that has an ADHD diagnosis had to FIGHT to even be screened for it. I think there’s definitely more self-diagnosis than there used to be and a decent amount of that is bullshit, but I don’t think it’s particularly easy to get an official ADHD diagnosis.




  • Everyone should have to retake the driving test (both written and practical) every five years. And if you don’t pass on the first try or are in a crash where you are found at fault, it should be bumped up to every year for the following five years.

    People drive dangerously because they’ve forgotten rules, or rules have changed, or they’ve had a physical or cognitive decline. And yet we’re like “yep, you took a test once decades ago, good to go.”

    Dangerous driving kills so many people.
