You can’t handle my weakest delivery boys, traveler

Mormons used to (some still do) practice polygamy and we had just as much, if not more of a problem with their practices as we do with “foreigners”.

From my perspective as another polyamorous person, I think polygamy is kinda fucked up, at least in the ways it manifests today. It’s an inequitable power dynamic that relies on the exploitation of women. I’m all about subversion and defiance of hierarchies. Polygamy reinforces those hierarchies

What part of the comment you originally responded to ever mentioned that they were an influencer/intended to profit off of their ADHD? You’re fighting ghosts bud. Additionally, you have no way of knowing if these “assholes on social media” are: 1. Lying about their condition 2. Profiting from it and 3. Only doing it for clout. Maybe you’re just annoyed by neurodivergent people being visible and having a platform?

Are you really surprised there’s a large presence of neurodivergent people in this niche corner of the internet? ADHD (and autism) are mentioned often here because a bunch of people on lemmy are chronically online neurodivergent dorks.

Maybe don’t accuse people of faking something and being disrespectful to “those suffering”. I have ADHD, my entire life isn’t suffering. I also agree that hitting a bowl when your Adderall kicks in is a nice experience. Are the pleasant aspects of my existence invalid because I’m supposed to be suffering all the time in your eyes? Are we not allowed to be proud of the way our mind works and celebrate those aspects of ourselves that we enjoy when those aspects are intertwined with our ADHD? From the bottom of my heart, eat shit and mind your own business

Or… Maybe it’s because we have a better understanding of ADHD now and a lot of adults who were failed by the system as children are finally coming to understand themselves and be taken seriously by healthcare providers.

But probably not. Your short sighted, inflammatory, bigoted bullshit is defintiely correct.

Fascists are cowards. A brick to the face will keep most of them from putting themselves in situations conducive to future bricks to the face

And way more in repairs

Can confirm. I’m an EMT and our ambulances get thrown around in a stiff breeze while my dinky shit box only starts getting squirrely when there’s a tropical storm

That’s where the militant part comes in

Name changed to Gregorian for flow, but Ian really likes sunday’s so they kept the pattern

Just had to deal with this last semester. Get a user agent switcher plugin and change your OS to windows, it should work for everything but proctored tests. You’ll likely have to go in person for those

45-55 depending on how hard the burn out aged you, in conjunction with the aforementioned studio

Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson “doesn’t work with Linux”. Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine

THAT’S NOT A BUG, THAT’S A FEATURE BROTHER!

Hey! I’m agender thankyouverymuch

Oh no! Linux transed my gender! Again! (I’m agender but that wouldn’t be as funny)

I’ve béen using mint for almost a year, wheres my girl that stinks good? :(

Queer is often used as a catch-all for gender and/or sexuality. Either way you took that, there are marginalized groups based on both of those things. And just because some queer people are shittty or have a superiority complex based on their gender/sexuality, doesn’t mean that people being out and vocal about their lives is a bad thing.

It’s not about neurodivergent people being smarter or better than neurotyoical people. It’s about neurodivergent people acknowledging that our minds work differently than neurotyoicals and advocating for our rights. If you want to fixate on some ass clowns who make their neurodivergence their whole personality and use that to say that we, broadly, as a marginalized group shouldn’t be visible, vocal, or (dare I say) proud of aspects of our neurodivergence, because “people wear it like a badge of distinction”, you need to work on some of your internalized prejudice.

Do you tell neurotypicals to not be proud of themselves? Do you get mad about pride parades? If your answer to either of those questions was no, you need to ask yourself why it’s different for neurodivergence

Sure, and there are plenty of queer shit bags out there too but I doubt you’d make the same point about being tired of people wearing their sexuality like a badge of distinction. There are terrible people of color out there as well, would you tell entire demographics to stop flaunting their race/ethnicity?

It’s as important for neurodivergent people to be visible and vocal advocates for their rights as it is for any other marginalized group

Ngl being reincarnated as a bug sounds pretty neat. But only if it were a cool bug, like a banana spider or a roly poly. I know neither of those are insects but the day I start taking entomology seriously is the day I die (to be reincarnated as a cool bug)
