This was my first thought as well. OP sounds like myself before I was diagnosed with ADHD (type combined) and started learning how to address my symptoms.

As soon as I saw, “… Reading over and over…” In OPs post my mind jumped to ADHD. I, and so many others with ADHD, have to re-read a paragraph, heck sometimes a sentence before our brains wake up and realize that we should store this info in short term memory.

A therapist who specializes in ADHD in adults (it used to be believed that children diagnosed with ADHD would “grow” out of their ADHD as they got older. Thankfully this belief is rapidly changing as our understanding of ADHD gets better). They can help you start to re-work your life to be complimentary to your ADHD instead of feeling like you’re trying to cram a square peg in a round hole.

ADHD isnt the root cause for everything, but it definitely influences all aspects of your life in varying degrees.

“Killing in the Name” by Rage Against The Machine is unfortunately as relevant today as when it was written if not more so.

Edit: updated to have the actual name of the song

Oh boy I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the creator of “Dennis the Menance” is… Well he’s a bastard.

Here’s a link to the first Behind The Bastards episode on him: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-dennis-the-menace-160239382/

If it’s a quick dirty script like doing a one time update to multiple records then I’ll just write it under the if name == main.

Here’s a great response to any parent who gets the “You must be a shitty parent” line.

“And you ARE a shitty person”

We even have a real life example of this with all of the January 6th convictions resulting in jail time whereas his Highness was protected by a fascist judge who stalled the court proceedings at every opportunity.

Judge Aileen Cannon needs to be removed from her position, never be allowed to hold any judicial or public office position, and charged with obstruction of justice.

Or under our drinking water!

The Motorola Atrix 4G had a Desktop Mode (Webtop was its name and it was Ubuntu based) in 2011 before Samsung. They even released a cradle dock, that you could connect to a tv or monitor, and a laptop dock for it and the source code on Sourceforge (my guess is to be GPL compliant).

I got that phone specifically for the desktop mode. It had a full blown Firefox browser installed and you could run your apps along side it.

I was blown away and thought, “This is the future for computers” but I was incredibly wrong. After the short honeymoon period i found it to be sluggish and clunky when using an android app. The hardware although phenomenal for a phone couldn’t provide an optimal experience for a desktop.

If the fixes keep coming I might just get back into TF2. I first played it and got hooked through The Orange Box on the PS3 and then eventually on PC when i got a gaming laptop years later.

Ya, I must have started using Linux well after Ubuntu made it really easy to install drivers.

Granted you do need to know where to find the option to install drivers, at least you used to maybe its even easier now, but I havent used Ubuntu in a few years.

Once you found where the option to install was it was a click of a button

After getting a Steam Deck my interest in the Switch 2 dropped significantly.

I love my Switch and all the great 1st party games I have for it, but I cant justify buying the Switch 2 right now.

It’s tough getting 50-85% discounted games on Steam and then go back to Nintendo and seeing games at full price years after release (I know I know “Nintendo games retain their value”).

Not only that but I need to prioritize bills and essentials over games right now. Even with games being $5-10 on Steam I decide against it since I can use that towards groceries, gas, or utilities.

I am dumbfounded by this decision. Apparently we didnt learn our lesson when Lake Erie was so polluted it CAUGHT ON FIRE!

I grew up in the Great Lakes region and they are truly marvels. You can stand on the edge of the lake and look out and the lake meets the horizon like looking out from the edge of an ocean!

The Great Lakes give the US and Canada a level of water security that alomst no other countries have. This is crucial as climate change continues to disrupt weather patterns throughout the world.

And we want to fuck it up for oil?! The god damn pil companies get so much subsides from the federal government already just build the pipe elsewhere that doesnt put our largest and possibly most important source of fresh water in danger!

I remember Jerome Powell being asked is he worried he’d get fired and his response is “He can’t fire me.”

This guy doesnt realize fascists dont give a fuck about what they are “allowed” to do. Trump and his cronies have been doing so much illegal shit including illegal firings!

This is not business as usual and Powell’s ass can easily be kicked to the curb with this Trump administration - illegal or not.

The judges are learning they lack the enforcement power of their rulings since those left in the government are loyal to Trump and his crusade.

We are learning our government system only works when everyone is a good faith actor.

Ive been telling people that Trump will pull an Andrew Jackson because in reality the judicial branch of the government has NO enforcement mechanism for their rulings.

They have to hope the executive branch will play by the rules and follow their rulings.

Roberts and his justices gave Trump even more unchecked power when they rule the president cannot be tried for official acts (leaving only impeachment as a means of punishment).

He must not be any sort of history buff because he would know the power of the judicial system is stripped away and becomes a superficial system that is used to punish those in the “out” group when a state turns to fascism or a dictatorship.

Roberts is truly a dipshit and a clown.

And to think this is only going to get worse with each passing year we do nothing about climate change.

In contrast Packt is on the crap end.

I had a similar experience where we had an entire class for Novell Directory Services. The reason our teacher gave for keeping the class in the curriculum? We MAY run into it in the workforce.
