    Oh, so Joe Biden has committed genocide? So you are saying that the president of the US has the power to stop the genocide of Palestinian people, and “Genocide-Joe” just chose not to use that power?

    But then… why haven’t I seen any “Genocide-Donnie” spam, because Trump has been president for a while now and still is refusing to stop the Palestinian genocide?

    Or could it be that the president of the US doesn’t actually have a “stop genocide” button on their desk and perpetuating the delusion was eveyone who spammed “genocide joe”, believing in it or not.

    So its not quite as simple as you make it out to be, is it?

    I didn’t say third party votes would’ve swung it. I said third party and the people who stayed at home instead of going to vote, because they’ve read “don’t vote genocide joe” spam online and it carried over even after Joe stepped down and Kamala tried running.

    Just make people apathetic about the vote. That’s it. That was the Russian strategy, because that was the only way Trump would win and Trump winning was the only out left for Putin in regards to a lot of things.

    Whereas blatantly asserting that “at least 30% of the population have a specific neurodevelopmental disorder” doesn’t merit any sourcing or facts. Just pull ideas out of your head and slap them down, that’s how it works right?

    A meta-analysis would be called for, you say? Did you even open the link, let alone the PDF

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01530-y.pdf

    And they don’t need to research ADHD. Let’s say you clean the local MickeyD every night, every stall and shit until it’s spick and span. If someone stopped you right before you stepped out and locked the doors and told you “animal control, there’s an elephant in here”, you’d probably be pretty certain there was no elephant as despite not having thought about elephants or tried actively looking for any, you’d be sure it’s not in the see through little McD where it wouldn’t even fit.

    Thus when you hear “there’s an elephant on the loose” in that context you laugh.

    I’m not defining a narrative. I’m calling bullshit on his figures.

    People do tend to get mad over the next part; I believe that a lot of people who more or less require or at least work well on those meds to, well, require them, but not necessarily because of some mythical poorly reasoned latebloooming ad hoc NDD, but our world just has gotten a whole faster.

    Stimulants, if used responsibly — instead of taking them on the weekends and drinking two days straight — can be compared to a strong energy drinks. And in many cases a bump of speed would actually be healthier than a huge can of coke or a mocha latte.

    Anyway, the point people get mad about is that they think I’m gonna question their diagnosis or advocate they shouldn’t get their meds, nah, that’s not what I’m about.

    I’m just hoping this won’t follow the same pattern as Oxy. Completely different beasts when it comes to dangers, both physical and forming dependency.

    Still, it’s pretty clear if you want to browse good sources. Just look at how often NDDs were diagnosed, how fast the recognition grew as our information grew and so did the prevalence of all neurodevelopmental disorders.

    But then out of the group ADHD is an outlier and nothing explains why it’s diagnosis have grown so much — except legalised speed basically.

    Also, quoting a single study and framing your world view based on one study is absolutely not science, but have at it…

    I believe you shouldn’t hit kids hard (even rhetorically) or they’ll just get cranky and abandon the whole business.

    So these actual studies aren’t studies, but the invisible yet to be named ones which show 30% having ADHD, now that is science. Yeah?

    I mean, it’s not necessary, but neither are HD resolutions or high framerates.

    It has seemed every beautiful in some things.

    It’s not necessary, but like, lots of things aren’t. The tech in itself isn’t horrible, it’s just horrible usecases which make it bad. Even if most usecases are horrible. Some aren’t.

    Edit for instance we have much the same power computers with my brother, aside from me having an outdated GPU. Last year when we played HP Legacy for a bit, I would say that his was far prettier when utilising Ray tracing, and the whole game is a sort of feast of aesthetics, so. Although his rig wasn’t potent enough to have great framerates, so playing was still better for him as well without Ray tracing. But the scenery without much action still had good framerares so we saw rhe difference. Idk perhaps it will never be good but
