An educated population is a threat to national security.

What a fucking meat grinder.

That aligns with their chosen reality. People are simple creatures and any money will turn them into obedient slaves. The only doctor you can trust is the one who isn’t going paid because they’ve been ostracized for speaking the truth.

Lol the revolutionary war was about economic independence for the land owning minority within the colonies. They forced the lower class to fight the war for them and then charged them for the service. They ended up in debters prison after the war. That’s what the Shays’ Rebellion was all about! How on earth could anyone interpret it any other way, especially when you consider the ultimate result of that war, which was the total and completely colonization from east to west and an ethnic genocide of indigenous peoples.

The ruling class was not interested in democracy for the masses, it was not anti colonial or anti imperial, it only sought democracy for a narrow band of people, specifically the land owning anglos and continued their colonial agenda to expand their wealth and power:

All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are rich and well born; the other, the mass of the people. The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true in fact. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share in the government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second; and as they cannot receive any advantage by change, they will therefore maintain good government.

“wine cave warrior” 🍷🪖 that’s a keeper.

That’s because Germany doesn’t have freedom. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yeah, it’s wild, and you know they wold never accept this kind of rule of law in their own back yard.

Alright folks, time to get into the Taiwan flag business 📈 . I have a feeling the market is about to grow, anyone invested in Ukraine flags still is a fool! 📉

Under the new framework, when a union requests recognition on the basis that a majority of employees in an appropriate bargaining unit have designated the union as their representative, an employer must either recognize and bargain with the union or promptly file an RM petition seeking an election. However, if an employer who seeks an election commits any unfair labor practice that would require setting aside the election, the petition will be dismissed, and—rather than re-running the election—the Board will order the employer to recognize and bargain with the union

The critical bit is bolded for emphasis. Any attempt to delay or reset the election process will result in instant union recognition and a demand for bargaining.

Woof, the comments on that crosspost are something to behold.

That’s not my business.

What is your business then exactly? Is it property, or people? You seem to be on the side of property with no regard for the conditions of the people who exist on that property.

Me and my family use 1Password for password management. I would stay as far away from LastPass as you can they have an AWFUL track record of keeping your information safe and secure.

Didn’t you know? It’s the 20s all over again. Musolini came into power in 1922. Welcome to the 100 year backslide.

You’re welcome comrade! My brain was putting off doing real work at the end of the day, so it was no effort at all 😉. I saw a few sources split those lists in that way so I figured I’d include it. It’s not exhaustive or comprehensive, and I’m not a psychologist, just a guy with ADHD lol, so defer to your licensed practitioner for confirmation.

It’s not considered a spectrum and that’s mostly because, when you get down to brass tacks, we all live within a spectrum of behavior. Instead, ADHD is a comingling of interoperating dysfunctions within specific systems of a person’s brain that relate to how the brain rewards your behaviors (to my understanding anyway). Ultimately, while everyone can experience moments of forgetfulness, inattention, anxiety, or hyperfocus, what matters most is if those things happen at a frequency enough to become a detriment to your everyday life.

ADHD can be broken into 3 types from my understanding:

• Inattentive ADHD (often most diagnosed in girls):
  • Trouble paying close attention to details, such as making “careless mistakes” in schoolwork, including missing or inaccurate details in work
  • Has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities, such as staying focused during lectures, in conversations, or reading lengthy items
  • Seems not to be listening when spoken to directly and may seem to be daydreaming or not be “in the moment”
  • Does not follow through on instructions; has trouble finishing tasks such as schoolwork, chores, or other duties; and may start tasks but lose focus and get sidetracked
  • Often has difficulty with organization, such as managing tasks and keeping work or home spaces neat, as well as problems with time management and missing deadlines
  • Avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort, such as schoolwork or homework, preparing reports, and filling out forms
  • Loses items they need for tasks or activities, such as pencils, books, tools, glasses, and keys
  • Easily distracted by things around them or by unrelated thoughts
  • Forgetful in daily activities and may forget to do chores and errands, return phone calls, pay bills, or keep appointments
• Hyperactive/Impulsive ADHD (often most diagnosed in boys):
  • Experiencing extreme restlessness, difficulty sitting still for extended periods, and/or wearing others out with one’s activity
  • Fidgeting with or tapping hands or feet or squirming in the seat
  • Being unable to engage quietly in leisure activities
  • Talking excessively
  • Answering questions before they are asked completely
  • Having difficulty waiting for one’s turn, such as when waiting in line
  • Interrupting or intruding on others
• Combination ADHD (skewed more to boys than girls): This is, as the name suggests, a combination of the two above, where no one of the trait groups is dominant but collectively is still impacting the patients day to day life.

I definitely suffer from a combination of both. I have intense moments of hyperactivity, and I can be easily wound up into an excited state (It’s like an energy feedback loop), but I’m constantly misplacing things, and I’m awful at future sights and sensing the passage of time. I’m very fidgety and can talk excessively, I have to bite my tongue to not interrupt people if I think I know where their question is going. I have reminders for all kinds of daily and weekly tasks to ensure I never forget them. I have a whiteboard in a prominent place where we can place future events so I can mentally prepare for them. Finishing tasks is super hard, once I get through the “interesting” guts of a project, all the “finishing touches” that make it “done” are boring and a real grind to do. Reading is still a very hard task for me, if I’m not medicated it’s almost impossible for me to get through several pages of a book at a time.

Maybe you know all this already, maybe not. For a long time, it was very rare for girls to get an ADHD diagnosis because of how it presents for girls. But this is the first step in understanding how the adhd mind works, which allows you to build around it so you can midgate the bad parts and harness the good parts.

Blue light does not cause harm, that is a myth perpetuated by eyeglass corporations to sell you a product. You get more exposure to blue light from the sun than you ever will from your device screens. The only impact blue light has on you is interrupting your circadian rhythm.

and in terms of “memory” the article explains it:

This was because using the device shifted the way that people used their memory to store high-importance versus low-importance information. When people had to remember by themselves, they used their memory capacity to remember the most important information. But when they could use the device, they saved high-importance information into the device and used their own memory for less important information instead.

Now we understand what the “National Security Threat” was all this time, not that it wasn’t painfully obvious from the jump. Every other major social media platform is in bed with the Feds, giving them access to whatever they wish at a moment’s notice. The “threat” to the nation isn’t foreign influence it’s domestic influence. If they can’t have backend access to the system to monitor these domestic threats, then the whole system is a threat. If you are using TikTok as a means of ORGANIZING then you are a THREAT to the NATIONAL SECURITY because the Feds can’t WATCH YOU LIKE A HAWK.

At one point, TikTok reportedly altered language that would have allowed government officials to demand changes to the apps recommendations algorithm if it promoted content the agencies disagreed with.

But but but… MUH FREEZ PEACH!

I feel you. I’ve been officially diagnosed with ADHD for maybe 10 years now, but only recently learned that having ADHD is explicitly covered under the ADA. It’s one of the main reasons why it’s still called ADHD even though Attention Deficit Hyperactivity isn’t an accurate description of the actual underlying mechanics of the disorder (and disorder is also contested because often there as just as many positive traits as there are negative traits in people with ADHD). If anyone wants to read more opinions on the naming of ADHD, I found these two articles just now that are pretty informative:
