Is there any hope for me?
  • You've already got some good advice but in no particular order:

    1. You are much more articulate than a lot of people. You can read and write better than a lot of people.

    2. You've been at least emotionally and physically abused

    3. You know how to work hard.

    4. ADHD is somewhat treatable with medication, at least improvable.

    What that translates to:

    1. no it isn't too late, especially if you keep working hard.

    2. the things you blame yourself for likely isn't your fault. Therapy, when you can afford it, should be a priority.

    3. working hard is so important for employment. Most jobs don't require high intelligence. Working hard with a good attitude and working with people is so much more important for most careers.

    4. learning disabilities suck. ADHD is hard. You can still learn coping mechanisms and find ways or a career that fits better with it.

    Life is hard. It's harder for you than most. It can still be worth living, but it will be up to you to find a way. I think you can.

  • Is it bad that I don't think my parents should have had me?
  • Good things can come from bad decisions, and bad things can come from good decisions.

    The existential questions come up regardless. Either way you ask yourself why, what's the point, if you matter, if anything matters. And the answer is always no reason and something extremely important, there is no point and the point is because someone cares, you and everything matters but also not at all and certainly not to the universe.

    And that's ok.

  • Republicans pitch tax cuts for corporations, the wealthy in 2025 | Trump has asked wealthy donors for donations, promising large tax breaks in return if he retakes the White House.
  • This was the first and the one thing they united to do everything in their power to ensure passage in 2016.

    Everything else following was theater and/or smaller scale quid pro quo. Those actions still have serious consequences, especially for reproductive rights and minorities, but delivering money to the wealthy is the one true gospel.

  • I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!'
  • My favorite is when the question starts out with "I don't have insurance and can't afford to see a doctor, but I have dandruff and it just won't go away", and the first response is "I know you said you can't afford it, but you should really just see a doctor".

    Like, sure, homeopathy is slightly better than snake oil because it doesn't generally have random poison in it, so getting recommendations for that is worthless. But that doesn't mean asking people who have been through similar things for advice is also worthless.

  • South Dakota Abortion Measure Qualifies for Ballot Despite Anti-Abortion Activists’ Bananas Efforts
  • the people of South Dakota, not the politicians in Pierre, will be the ones to decide whether to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of South Dakota

    This reminds that although abortion rights are the most important result of Roe v Wade, there are other rights that were abrogated when it was overturned. It's hard to say all that was lost, and those generally won't be recovered with these efforts.
