Can you post a thread from Mastodon to /kbin?
  • No, I believe they are a different type of post altogether.

  • I just got prescribed Adderall!
  • According to Dr Russell Barkley, there are genetic tests that can really help identify which drugs you are likely to respond to.

  • Anger issues? 💢
  • The inability to self-soothe and therefore outburst when you have emotions is an executive dysfunction that is definitely part of ADHD. As others have said, the degree to which you feel the emotions may have other components, but the inability to quell or redirect your emotions is definitely a normal ADHD symptom.

  • How do you deal with ADHD
  • I've largely done those things too until I got diagnosed, at 27. Since then I did adderall on and off, it works decently for me, however, the effects on my mood as it drains out of my system are not great. Mostly, I become extremely irritable. Lately I've been reading and watching more about ADHD, and Russell Barkley really changed the way I see the issue. I, now more than ever, see ADHD as a chemical shortcoming of my brain and I'm really pursuing the right drug or combination of drugs to deal with issues I've been failing to overcome for decades.

  • How do you deal with ADHD
  • Dr Russell Barkley, a respected researcher in the field of ADHD, basically states that there is a chemical deficiency in your brain that makes it physically impossible for it to simply 'be' better, and that things like behavior modification have been shown to be helpful... almost exclusively when the subject is also on medication. And even when environmental changes can make a difference, it tends to fall on those close to the ADHDer to help set up those accommodations, at least with children. However, with adults there exist the same struggles, just to a /slightly/ lesser extent.

  • This kind of thing is why digital privacy is so important. But everyone is like "i have nothing to hide from the government"

  • Stop filming concerts
  • I’m gonna take a couple of 30sec to 1 minute videos for memory’s sake. But also I’m probably not the kind of person this is aimed at. (Obv didn’t read the article)

  • When you're worth $239 billions but you choose the local crack head to make your new signage
  • Yeah the $ implies the word dollar, in this case becoming “239 billion dollars”

  • Cryptography may offer a solution to the massive AI-labeling problem
  • And an edit log, and potentially a fingerprint of every person to edit the media. Authoritarian regimes will love this, no more Winne The Pooh memes.

  • ELI5 Repacks? (e.g. FitGirl)
  • The best programmers are, 80/20 is life

  • OceanGate's cofounder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050, and says we shouldn't stop pushing the limits of innovation
  • I think we’re on a downward trend on giving a shit about rich people. So, probably not.

  • An interesting case of moderation in the fediverse
  • I'm coming around to agreeing with you. But I feel like if I try to clarify and really understand I may end up offending someone. It's hard to have these kinds of conversations online, with people who don't know you or your intent.

    I may be an imperfect ally, but I'm honestly trying.

  • An interesting case of moderation in the fediverse
  • The issue was the use of a specific word, that is now uncouth, but with which OP identifies. They claim to not know the word had fallen out of favor. Other than the word itself, I don’t think there was anything wrong with the comment they left.

  • An interesting case of moderation in the fediverse
  • Agree that it’s not much of a reason to avoid a piece of software. If anything an instance.

  • Medication holiday
  • Dr Russell Barkley seems to be pretty against the idea of not taking meds. ADHD affects all parts of your life, and just because you don't have school doesnt mean you dont have ADHD. Your brain works better on the drugs, you can be more responsible, put more effort into your hobbies, and take better care of yourself if youre on your meds.

    Unless theyve got some real reason for suggesting that, you should probably get a new dr.

    Here's my firsthand experience of the Fediverse, a network of social media platforms based on a common protocol ( ActivityPub ). I left Twit...

    A small group of people were offended by a joke that unintentionally came across transphobic, and as a result this persons account was blacklisted. Even after getting the account reinstated, there were lasting complications with the state of the account (these probably technical issues) and the account was basically lost for good.

    The 9th paragraph is where the incident is discussed. What do yall think of this?

    I've definitely been misunderstood myself, and it kinda sucks to think that my account could be lost for good due to a few reports, hasty banning, and some bug in the software.

    Do you think there was a point where Michael Jackson wasn't allowed to use the n-word anymore? Where would you pinpoint the moment when it became inappropriate?
  • I don’t care to use it, so I don’t. And I’ll speak up when I hear people (tbh this is mostly gaming online) when I hear the word used in a derogatory manner.

  • Do you think there was a point where Michael Jackson wasn't allowed to use the n-word anymore? Where would you pinpoint the moment when it became inappropriate?
  • Allowed? By whom? You know there are black people who abhor the use of the word no matter the person, right?

    There are white people who use it freely, with black people.

  • Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate says he was paid $20,000 under Elon Musk's content-creator plan
  • I didn’t realize he was a self-proclaimed misogynist…. That’s crazy

  • do you say it as kay-bin or k'bin?
  • Both are still better than “beehaw”
