Oh shit...
It's always them lol
I'm not even trying to; I'm just categorically disagreeing with you, which you don't like. Remember, you replied to me to disagree, because you most likely didn't like my position to begin with. I'm clarifying my position and why I don't agree, since you replied to me. But yes, thank you. You too.
Same to you!
I deeply disagree with you as a transman myself. My core never changed after transition... I was still me regardless of how people saw me before, during and after (took 15 years). I was just getting treatment (a cure of sorts). My medical conditions (or disabilities) don't define my personality or who I am as a person. That's absolute nonsense.
I was diagnosed at 24, it's just a disability. It's not part of who I am at my core. Developing coping mechanisms to deal with the disability isn't part of me, it's necessity.
I disagree with that way of thinking, it really isn't sane to me. ADHD isn't "part of who I am", just like my myopia isn't either. It's not part of my personality, it's just a disability I inherited. I can cure my myopia with laser eye surgery and when I get enough money to, I absolutely will and if there's a cure for ADHD, I absolutely will cure it the same way I will my myopia. Disabilities aren't my personality. Curing them won't change who I am as a person (my brother and mother got laser eye surgery for their severe myopia... their personalities didn't change, btw). That way of thinking is so damn reductive to me.
It might be. I remember buying a laptop at that time and it came with 8 and it annoyed me so dang much.
They lost me when they removed the start button on the left side of the taskbar in version 8.1 (I think it was) to... Be cool with the kids (I think 8.1 was supposed to be touch screen friendly)? I don't even know, but I went back to Windows 7 for a long while.
The backlash with the start button was so huge that they put it back on the taskbar in Windows 10 (at least mine has it and is the reason I got Windows 10). I'm currently refusing to update to Windows 11, because it apparently crashes when playing certain video games and I'm not about to have the other trash bugs that come with it, which I've been seeing posted on Microsoft help forums when I search for Windows 10 related questions. Fuck that noise, I don't want to deal with it.
Yeah, this is why I have a physical calendar with stickers that I can place for tasks (they are called family calendars and have extra space to place pictograms and notes on each day of the months) and an app that notifies me of tasks to do at the same time (for any ADHD havers here, the app is called Habitica, it's the best app I've found for ADHD, try it out; it really helps).
If I blend one out completely that day, the other reminds me non-stop on my phone (post-its were not helping at all on their own and weren't precise enough compared to a family calendar). It helps with getting more tasks done than if I didn't use those tools at all (I am medicated, but I still struggle with not doing tasks when my motivation is very low, you all know how it is).
I've seen this mentality way too much on Reddit subs. Often by the same people that say they are just "neurospicy" and that ADHD is quirky and makes up their entire identity. God that shit is cringe.
Even saw someone recently ask people if they would cure their ADHD if scientists came up with a cure. 90% of the responses were by sane people saying, "WTF question is that? Yes, I would cure it, it's a disability!" and the op was just replying to them that ADHD was the reason they were creative and was their identity... Bro... Sometimes, I feel like some of these people aren't even real.
Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I need some form of background noise to concentrate on anything. Whether that be music or someone endlessly yapping with a monotone voice in a video. Just anything that drowns out my endless stream of thoughts that have 0 to do with my task.
Why did they have to use the word "nation"? With that word being used, the comment is even more stupid. A nation doesn't have to be a country...
As an artist myself, I agree.
Important to note; The French have a very strong culture of secularism, which turns out helps a lot with fighting against religious BS.
So, Scary Movie?
I think there's a big difference between choosing to not have kids for personal reasons and being anti-natalist to such an extent that you see others as subhumans for wanting or having kids. Your experience and feelings are valid and of a sound mind. The person who did this has a twisted mind and lacks empathy.
I get it, but at the same time, some very competent people that could be amazing parents need IVF and it's not right to take that away from them or terrorize them for that choice.
Some might shame them for not adopting, but I think that's a stupid mentality. Not everyone has the same needs to be filled with parenthood. Some want legacy, some want someone to love unconditionally, some want to give back to the community, some want a part of themselves and their partner to be left in this world, etc.
I've even heard some say IVF shouldn't be covered by Universal Healthcare where I live, because "God didn't want them to have kids anyway", but if we went with that mentality, nothing would be covered by Universal Healthcare, because "God didn't want them to live or be cured anyway".
Too many people have a serious lack of empathy for others.
I was memeing my friend, but ty for the info, it's interesting to learn. Upvoted.
I'm sure kids that are still in high school, specifically, are overjoyed at the news.
