I think the industry still thinks their target audience is 12 year olds. It’s evident also in the aesthetic of the games they make. That being said I am seeing a slow change for the better. If only I could say the same about the prices…

How bad can it be? /s

Can’t be worried about that shit man, life goes on :D

I guess I take it for granted - while it may not be so obvious to others - that when I say something, that’s just like, my opinion, man…

So with these 2 quotes I end my big lebowski reference streak

The other day we went to the gym with a friend and afterwards he said let’s go eat at the food court. We each got stuff from different restaurants and he got his first, so he went to get a table while I was waiting for my food. As soon as he sat down he started eating so 3 minutes later when I got there he’d finished half his meal. I didn’t appreciate that because the whole point was to have a chill chat whereas now he was done and I felt like I had to rush because I was wasting his time with my tardiness.

It’s a reference I didn’t think you’d get but maybe someone else wasting their time reading this whole conversation unfolding under this silly little meme might enjoy.

To use your logic, you don’t get to decide how I interpret the responses to my comment. So if you don’t like what I said you can give me your little downvote and kindly fuck off unless you have some meaningful retort about my actual opinion on ADHD & autism diagnoses.

Yes. I am the author of the post and I decide how serious it is. Who the fuck are you, the friend with the cleft asshole?

I suppose context is important in the needing to know why. Can you give an example of a time someone got mad?

I see you guys are taking this way too seriously so ok… I’m not invalidating anything, and for that matter I haven’t noticed any such trend in media either. In fact, I would go as far as to say that attributing “normal” behaviors to ADHD and autism is ultimately what invalidates these conditions. My initial comment stemmed from me seeing meme after meme about ADHD and being like, wait I’m like that too, maybe I have it. But then as this trend goes on I observed that most of the people I know also have - to some degree - most symptoms mentioned in said memes. In short I bet if one were to base the description of ADHD on the memes going round, most people could get a positive diagnosis. My personal opinion is that this has to do with societal expectations when it comes to education and employment as they have developed over the last couple of decades. We are slowly recognizing that our capitalist way of life with its pursuit of infinitely increasing productivity is not in line with human nature thus we’re “creating” this condition that somehow everyone is suffering from to attribute feelings of inadequacy.

What’s with this new trend to label normal behavior as somehow related to ADHD or autism? Only morons don’t want to know why ffs

Ahahah why tho?

What I don’t understand - and please explain if you can - is why Bernie and like-minded people like AOC etc don’t break away from the likes of the Clintons and the Harrises and form their own party. Surely there must be some systemic hurdle keeping them from at least attempting right?

Hahahah ok I understand how that is what practically happens, but where do they stand politically? What I mean is, this time we saw Harris support fracking and guns, having a lackluster response to Israeli aggression - to say the least - buddying up with Liz Cheney etc etc. Do people who are disappointed by this right turn have any reason to turn to the greens? If not, is there anyone else?

Can someone explain why all this hatred for the green party? I don’t know anything about them but I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason for that is active silencing.

I have stickers from 1999 waiting to be stuck on something appropriate
