I do not give a damn which mental health diagnoses people want to stick onto fascists to "explain" their behaviour. None of it is useful. The problems we are dealing with are NOT created by neurotypes/intellectual or cognitive disability/trauma.
They are created by power. That's it.
Literally anyone—you, me, or the most innocent person you can recall—with power can (and often will) become evil to keep it. It really is that mundane.
Want to stop it?
Fight inequality. Divest your own power.

This is a serious question.
With the tendency of Tesla vehicles to explode into fiery infernos, how can we be sure if a reported arson attack against a Tesla is actually an arson and not just business as usual?

A very important point: not everyone can get every vaccine, even if they want to!
That's why it's important for those of us who can to be vaccinated - to help protect those who can't.
And that's also why we need multiple tools in our toolbox: vaccines AND masks AND air filters, and so on!

tyler durden: the things you own end up owning you
rustc: actually, that’s impossible
chores and ADHD
You know that thing where every time you try to do something, you spot another thing that needs doing, and then you get distracted, and *that* spawns another thing and you get distracted again, and you end up completely forgetting what you were trying to do in the first place?
Turns out that can be weaponized to deal with irregular chores like tidying up; when you do task A, and you spot task B, you *first* finish task A and *actively* remind yourself of task B continuously in the meantime, then once A is done you immediately continue on to B, which then spawns task C, and so on.
I've found it a very helpful way to overcome the "I don't know where to start" / "this is so much work that I don't have a clear picture" problem; just pick up an arbitrary item, try to store it, and trust that it will spawn the next task in the process.
Before you know it, you've taken a significant bite out of your todo list, despite not actively tracking what you're doing. Because it usually doesn't really matter *what* you do, just *that* you do something, anything. And you never need to remember more than one 'next' task at a time.
@MegaMichelle Oh, I don't either - I just occasionally run across them and it makes my day :)
@Vampire Yep, I've been going through their powertool playlist and there's so much useful stuff like that in there!
Ik wil gewoon een stukje alu, waarom is dit zo moeilijk
@bumblebeedc Yeah, pretty much; I won't spoil the ride, but they pretty much went for the whole buffet of ride elements, it's kind of absurd (and apparently very good! But I haven't been on it yet)
Tientallen aluminium profielen, maar een T-track, ho maar. Meeste dat erop lijkt is een gordijnrail en dat heeft dan natuurlijk weer geen standaard maat.
@Vampire This video for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly0c8OPKZcc (they're rarely visible themselves while doing stuff, though)
Well, that's a first; I've run across a woodworking YouTuber who makes a point of a) constantly repeating the need for PPE, and b) visually showing that the powertool is unplugged by holding the cord and plug, every time they demonstrate some kind of dangerous failure mode.
Glad to see it, wish it were more common.
Hoe krijgt de Gamma het toch iedere keer weer voor elkaar om het ding dat ik nodig heb niet in het assortiment te hebben?
