There are some folks who want to accelerate the total reset and maybe create a UBI. Those are the Dark Enlightment folks (sometimes Dark MAGA), and they are called neoreactionary accelerationist. The intentional destruction of the US gov is the acceleration of the reset that you mention. These are a bit different from the Heritage Foundation and mostly tech bros. They are considered far right, but I'm far left and can't help but see a lot of truth in some of what they say. I've had the same opinion you have for 20 years now, that it would be better to just let this all fall so we can hurry up and rebuild our economy into something that is not a plane with locked engines falling straight out of the sky. I totally know what you mean.

They certainly are in Saudi Arabia. They say if you prosecuted homosexual acts there, you'd have to put a fence around the entire country. I guess forbidding the socializing of females outside of marriage limits options.

You're certainly welcomed! Also, what was the book you read in English at 17?

Okay, well that is good to know. If that's the case, I almost certainly have it from another aspect of life.

From what I've read, the other Android OS's do not work with any US carriers. I think some folks got them to work with a Pixel/T-Mobile/Graphene combo, but that is not only literally buying a Google phone, it is also limiting me to one carrier. I would get a Pixel, but the whole point is to get away from google, not give them more money.

So can google track users if you watch a youtube video on Peertube?

This is a better list than the ones I've seen previously. Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering why everyone just didn't block the communities. Maybe their Lemmy clients do not have the option. I use Eternity and it works for me.

I'm liberal and I agree. No more excuses. Democrats will not get my vote unless they are decent. Very few are not paid for.

Let's not make society healthier to prevent drug use. Just arrest everyone.

You're going to do great! Good luck with escaping the father! Yikes!

You're not the only user who has mentioned bullying. Were you bullied in relation to ADHD or was it a separate issue?

 

Does Iphone have something like fdroid that allows installation of cool apps like ones for jellyfin, etc?

 

I was planning to set transcoding on the M.2 by using a Pi M.2 Hat board. However, since the M.2 is already there, should I just use it to run the OS and downloads, too, or just use it as a transcoding consumable and media drive? This Pi 5 has 16Gb of RAM, so it might handle every bit of the transcoding regardless, but I have not tested it. I'm also concerned about latency between the main Pi board and the hat, connected with a flexible circuit board cable.

Also, anyone have issues with media storage on external drive when using Plex/media servers?

Equipment has been ordered but has not been delivered yet. Should come the next few days.

 

When I was a kid, I was punished excessively. My diagnosis occurred when I was 25. In the 1980s, I got paddled every day at school and was punished constantly. It made me feel rejected, leading to rejection sensitivity dysphoria. By the time I was 9, I decided life was not worth living and have not changed my mind at 45 years old. I would never have a child to suffer the way I did. I still feel like nobody wants me around. My mental health issues have severely impacted my quality of life. I'm just now figuring out that this might be why I have never felt my clock tick, or thought for even a second of my life that I wanted kids.

Has this happened to anyone else? I wonder how many in this forum might have decided against parenthood due to ADHD effects without realizing it.

Update: Here are the results as of June 12, 2025 ( or at least I think I counted decently):

  • 7 people do not want kids
  • 9 said they have and/or want kids
  • 3 responses did not conclude one way or another

Hope this was helpful, even with small sample sizes. This seems to be close to current statistics. Out of 16 who responded definitively, 7 did not want kids, which is 44%, compared to 47% shown in the statistics. This concludes that no evidence has been found from this post to suggest that ADHD has a significant impact on parenting desires. Further research could better validate the results.

And the share of U.S. adults younger than 50 without children who say they are unlikely to ever have kids rose 10 percentage points between 2018 and 2023 (from 37% to 47%), according to a Pew Research Center survey
