Thats as best of a why as we got. Sometimes things don’t have clear reasons or origins

For ADHD, very quick and easy (however I have been told that is not normal). I met with my PCP and said I wanted an ADHD diagnosis to get accomodations and emphasized I didn’t want a prescription, cause I take enough meds as it is and would prefer to learn how to cope without the use of meds. I also explained to him my history grappling with my ADHD especially in school. The important thing here was showing it is a long time and consistent problem, one that exists in multiple settings (not just school, but at home, and work too). All of this made my doctor feel comfortable giving me the diagnosis. For autism, I haven’t started the process yet, waiting on a referral cause my doctor wasn’t comfortable diagnosing it.

If you want meds to help manage ADHD it will probably be a little harder to get the diagnosis, but I think as long as you establish that it is a long patterned history in more than just one setting, establish clearly why you want the diagnosis, and give detailed examples and stories of the symptoms (and maybe a little bit of luck) I think you should be fine.

I hope this eases your worries a bit and I hope it helped. Rooting for you.

As others have said, I think its important to include some level of accountability for moderators. Ways for the users to identify when a moderator is abusing their responsibilities and clear, fair, and accessible process for users to remove them from those responsibilities in a case of consistent abuse.

I found out I was neurodivergent cause I became friends with a lot of people who are, and when I would talk about my experiences they would basically tell me its related to this or that disability. So I realized I was neurodivergent from my friends basically telling me I was. I came to accept it but never felt comfortable identifying as neurodivergent. Always felt I needed to specify “probably have ADHD” or “I probably have autism.” Always felt like I needed to add plausible deniability to avoid being accused of self-diagnosing. Basically I wasn’t confident enough. When I got my diagnosis I didn’t feel like I needed to do that anymore. I could say with confidence “I have ADHD.” It made my experiences in school feel real, and took away a lot of the guilt I felt for failing. I realized I was not the problem, I just wasn’t getting the treatment I needed to succeed.

I went my whole childhood without a diagnosis cause all the adults in my life kept kicking the can down the road saying I’d grow out of it. Didn’t get diagnosed till this year, and I am about to be in my mid twenties. It was very validating to get the diagnosis. Gonna get checked for autism too

As someone else said, they pay royalties. Secondly, because they are not costing musicians their jobs. DJs aren’t stealing artists jobs, music labels aren’t dropping musicians for DJs, and DJs are at least putting some level of effort to create something (which I will admit is debatable and the weakest argument).

Not illegal, just unethical. You effectively stole people’s art and are profitting off of it. Considering AI is being used to take jobs from artists and writers by stealing their work, you are a scab

That’s what the cover is for. The cover is your first impression of a book.

The only good clanker is a dead clanker

I think followers and chat are a good idea because I could follow my friends and share memes directly to them through Lemmy rather than have to download and share it externally. But besides that yeah

Copyright is stupid, but besides that I agree. We should be developing our own identity, not trying to copy reddit

Cops serve and protect capital, not you. There is never going to be a situation where law enforcement doesn’t become authoritarian and only protect those in power. Law enforcements has routinely shown they are class traitors and have no qualms supporting corporations in crushing unions. Cops should not exist, let alone have unions, which will only ever be used to protect themselves from facing consequences and taking accountability. All WORKERS should be unionized. Cops are not workers, they are class traitors who wouldn’t think twice about arresting you for trying to use your union to get better working conditions. 40% of cops are abusers, and they only solve 2% of crime. Studies show rehabilition and restorative justice as well as providing people with their basic needs is more effective at reducing crime and protecting people. Abolish the police, abolish prisons, ACAB

You are victim blaming, congratulations.

You’re the kind of person that would sell out your jewish neighbors during the holocaust to save your own skin.

You liberals through your arab people under the bus to save yourselves. You had the power to demand a better candidate and help others, but instead you put your own privileges and rights over that of the arab people. Those of us who protest voted did so while standing in solidarity with Palestine. Those of you who voted for Kamala, and are now blaming protest voters, effectively spit in the face of arabs to protect yourself. You told them that your life is worth more than theirs and you are now blaming them for the consequences you brought on yourself. You vote for the Democrats time and time again despite them moving more and more right and you expect change. Voting for the lesser evil just makes the lesser evil more evil. You reached the end where now people aren’t even okay with voting for the lesser evil. You didn’t push for real change and are now blaming minorities and the people who stand by them for not wanting to play your game anymore.

I do not care if you voted for Kamala. I don’t think the people who voted for Kamala are bad people. I understand why you would vote for Kamala. I think you are a bad person if you voted for Kamala and are now trying to blame and shame minorities and the people who stood with them in solidarity for why Trump got elected.

Fascists coopting a meme to spread racism and overall bigotry is not at all the same as leftists using Luigi as a dog whistle to signal violence towards oppressors. Its like equating the far right and the far left. The far left want equality for all, and the far right want to fucking commit genocide. They are not equivocal at all.

From what I have found, its almost all photos of animals and nature. Honestly I am kinda disappointed. I want memes. I also got onto Loops and that is also mostly animals and nature, but with the very occasional funny.
