I was a scrawny kid with asthma and a head too big for his body. But I RAN to the bus after school and shot through the front door to the TV. That year started with Battle of the Planets and then blended into Robotech into one long japanimation smear only broken by a summer of Return of the Jedi and lots of comic books that suddenly got dark.

Nevermind what I said in my post. This comment is a better TLDR (if a bit blunt)

Or me! Let’s jump in a convo and discuss this. Post this in our Kubernetes or have one of our interns do it. Let’s say “this afternoon and I will cancel anyway”-ish?

I’ll toss in my 2cents. There are a few informed replies I think OP should go back and reread. I agree with OP that most of the comments are skewing AWAY from the actual topic. And, yes of course lazy dimwits are using the latest convenient terms to get out of doing whatever they ought to be doing.

Lazy will do what lazy can which I can personally corroborate. I know someone with severe ADHD who functions perfectly well in society, at home, and at work; they need patience, self-awareness, therapy, and a lot of medication that would melt my brain but let’s them functional adequately. There are also periods where their house is a wreck because they can’t get it together to clean up for a few days.

I know someone who celebrates when they “finally” get a diagnosis they know they’ve had for years but doctors “are so ignorant”. This person just wants to smoke weed all day and watch D&D let’s plays on YT; it’s my niece btw, and they have issues-ADHD is not one of them.

My filter works like this: people with a genuine hidden disability will inform you instead of using it as an excuse for why something didn’t get done. “I know I have been dropping the ball on kitchen duties. Could we swap household duties? Maybe I am more consistent with bathroom cleaning than the kitchen. And I will talk to my doctor about this at our next visit” OR “I have really bad ADHD. That’s why we don’t have any clean dishes and the kitchen stinks. But I will get right on it.”

That…is a very interesting take. I really like it.

I’ll be the non jokey one here and bring us all down with the hard math. 13.6 kilometers converted into American is pretty much, like, way more than a half tank of gas unless you have a Prius. But you do you. Can you get me a slushie on the way back? You know I’m good for it.

I took the starlight, too. Same. Took the bus on the return trip, also awful experience.

Because you are not important. I am very important. I have places I need to be yesterday. And, yes, it IS a truck. I have never used the bed of my truck or it would get dirty. /dont drive //dont have a car ///but I DO have a DL! Has my picture and everything

In fact, I think it stacks with his teachers’ pension, which he gets as well!

I’ve studied this. And I have decided I like the idea there is a salami slice in the cart slot. Therefore: it is a salami.
