I vacillate between the two. Really depends on the words surrounding “data”.

How did you learn English?

ADHD is massively over diagnosed in the US. No shit stimulants make you concentrate better, that doesn’t mean you had ADHD. Concentration is like a muscle, you have to actively invest effort into making it better. It’s hard to concentrate and scrolling through posts and flicking through shorts is atrophying this ability. It’s like someone who doesn’t work out or eat well thinking they have a muscle development disorder, taking anabolic steroids, and since they gained muscle it confirms their suspicions that they had a disorder. Concentrating is difficult, it takes active effort, and you will hit walls when your brain is tired. It can be trained, however. This should be the focus and stimulants should be the absolute last option and only for people who truly meet the definition of disorder, i.e. it greatly impairs their relationships, work, or daily life.

I’m not saying it doesn’t exist at all, but I do think it’s way over diagnosed. Doctors want those high patient satisfaction scores, which is another issue in medicine in general.

The secret service officers protecting Kennedy were up all night drinking grain alcohol the night before he was assassinated.

Fuck water, bread plus water.

Yes I did, multiple times. The only confrontation I see are people on other floors reporting you for snooping around.

Does the noise maker below you ever confront you directly? Have they said anything to your face regarding the noise?

To me it sounds like you may be assigning motives to things that aren’t as evil as you perceive. Just live your life and be a normal, respectful level of loud. You’re going to hear your neighbors in an apartment. Accept it and move on. Unless it’s past quiet hours and affecting your sleep I don’t think there’s much you can do, practically.

Are they confronting you in person or something? Have they said anything to you or do you just hear noises?

That just isn’t true. Viewing 16:9 on 4:3 doesn’t mean half your screen is black bars.

Prosecute for what, exactly?

That doesn’t sound like an abuse of checks and balances to me, to be honest. This is exactly how the system is designed. They still need a majority to pass anything.

Flip the script for a moment; imagine we had ultra right wing judges who make insane judgements. Is it not the whole point of checks and balances for the legislative and executive branches to be able to exert some control over the judiciary branch provided they have an appropriate majority?

I don’t agree with Johnson, he’s a cunt, but this doesn’t seem like abuse per se, rather exactly how the system was designed. I’m not worried about it because they don’t have the votes.

You don’t even need a complicated MITM attack like that. The data is for sale by the telecoms.

Destroying the economy also allows them to write bills to give trillions to companies “too big to fail” just like the automaker bailouts, bank bailouts, and PPP loans.

Economic conservatives my ass.

It’s not just gamers either - I recently got a new job and all our work laptops have AMD processors, which I was pretty surprised to see.

USPS budget was in the black until they were forced to prefund benefits for 75 years - something nobody else is required to do.

The “financial difficulties” they face are completely imposed on them by the government.

This bill was passed with bipartisan support.

For over a decade, the United States Postal Service has been plagued with the onerous burden of prefunding its retiree health care benefits as mandated by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006. The mandate requires the Postal Service to prefund its retiree health care benefits 75 years in advance, paying for retirement health care for individuals who haven’t been born yet, let alone enter the workforce.

Tony was way more fucked up than just the anxiety issue which was eventually solved. His narcissism prevented himself from recognizing that he created many of the problems in his life. He never acknowledged his faults. Panic attacks were the only thing he couldn’t ignore, so he sought treatment as a means to an end. The attacks made him look weak in the eyes of his fellow mafiosi.

I’d argue that’s not why Tony went. Tony went because he was having panic attacks and it was harming his public image and perceived power. He did not think he was fucked up, and frequently stated how therapy was a waste of time and he didn’t need it.

Yeah, I was swimming as a child and eventually took lessons later on. It’s like second nature now, not knowing how to swim seems like not knowing how to walk to me. I can’t imagine what it’s like. I never swam competitively or for exercise, just for recreation.

Yes, I’m aware. The fact they gave it to a private who had an award given out 100,000 times during WW2 points directly to that.

A private with a silver star is what you name a DFAC or post gym after, not an entire post.

First base I’ve ever seen named after a private, and the highest decoration PFC Bragg got was a silver star. No slouch of an award by any means, but over 100,000 of these were awarded during WW2.
