able bodied allies of disabled people when your disability genuinely has no secret upside and makes you useless to a late stage capitalist society
it’s tradition in kanto for every teenager to dress up AT LEAST ONE TIME as a rocket grunt on halloween and pull some kind of house-egging type prank but if you try to do that in kalos or sinnoh they’ll arrest you

still thinking about this i think it’s my most realistic pokemon world headcanon. kalos is to orange three piece suits as alberta canada is to rats
A quick update for all my fellow r/196 migrants about how things are going back in the motherland. A saga has unfolded:
It began with a basic hornypost, and a comment under said post:
So, the fatal BreadSlice was getting clowned on in the replies, until:
So yeah, the more things change the more they stay the same I guess.
adhd tip you can replace a “meal” with up to 3 hours of “the app” but watch out
okay done 👍 why am i hurts
Because of this post whenever I notice I’m mindlessly scrollling through social media instead of important things like eating I think the words “The App” repeatedly untill I close it
i don't expect a lot of votes on this but i wanted to see if there's a lean towards one of them in my mutual circle at least. idk i was curious
if you don't dislike any of them you don't have to vote
every once in a while i learn some wild new piece of information that explains years of behavior and reminds me that i will never truly understand everything about my ridiculous adhd brain
ok what the fuck who was gonna tell me this isnt normal
what the fuck you mean to tell me that the way that i comically slide around things wasn't just me naturally shitposting
maybe the neurotypicals are just trolling us
THAT'S WHY I DO THAT?!?!?
it is in times like these that it is helpful to remember that all of medical science that isn't like, infectious disease, but PARTICULARLY psychiatry is a bunch of fake ass idiots who dont know how to do science, and when you hear about it on tiktok, it's being reinterpreted through somebody even dumber who is lying to you for clicks. as such you should treat anything they say as lies.
u do this wiggle because it's a normal thing to do.
anyways i looked at this paper. they stick people (n=32) on a wii balance board for 30 seconds and check how much the center of gravity moves. for AHDH patients, it's 44.4 ± 9.0 cm (1 sigma) and for non ADHD patients its 39.5 ± 7.2 cm (1 sigma)
so like. at best the effect size is 'wow. adhd people shift their weight, on average, a tiny bit more than non-adhd people, when told to stand still'.
in summary, don't trust tiktok, and:
^^^^
by "eyeball statistics" that's weak as hell. if you actually check the p-value with, like, welch's t-test you get p = 0.1 - not statistically significant at 0.05, which is a pretty low bar. if you think about it for like 5 seconds, you might remember that just about everyone walks like this when they're trying to go somewhere in a hurry.
especially for pop-sci around neurodivergence, and especially if your primary reaction is "that's so relatable!" or "I didn't realize that was only a <diagnosis> thing!" - and ESPECIALLY if that trait is something which would not be negatively impacting your life - I encourage you to take a sec to check whether there's any basis to it at all.

Let's have the conversation about UBI.
Let the actual data and facts end the bad faith arguments.
I was a participant of the now cancelled UBI pilot in Ontario Canada. I was happier, safer, was able to move and work at better jobs.
And oops there it is. Better jobs.
Better jobs
It's a class barrier. They need a poverty class to function

tumblr staff: hello! we are testing out a new thing. it is experimental so we want lots of feedback on this from the community! :)
the community: hey this sucks. all of us agree this change is dogshit and needs to be either completely reworked or just not implemented at all. here is exactly how to fix it btw.
tumblr staff: thank you for the valuable feedback everyone! we are doing it anyways :)
>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.
>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.
>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.
>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.
>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.
>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.
>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.
>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!
>Lemmings problem now solved.
>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.
>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.
>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.
>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.
>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.
>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

Yeppers. :)
reblogging for study later AND to spread the info.
Seriously, get and run PiHole if you can. It changes your internet experience so much for the better. I get shocked when I visit a website when I'm someone else's network, by just how many ads the internet is flooded with now. Take back control.
I feel like this would be a slippery slope towards making it illegal for people to choose to not vote.
that’s already how it is in australia
That’s just so fucked up. :( Do certain medical conditions exempt you?
?????? why is it be fucked up to have compulsory voting? that’s the way it is in most democratic countries? it’s a part of being a citizen, like paying taxes and obeying speed limits? the fine for not voting is only like $50 and because of the compulsory voting law, our country bends over backwards to make it accessible: it’s always on a weekend, lasts most of the day, and is set up at schools and community centers so there’s one within easy reach of almost everybody. you can also mail your ballot or vote early if you’ll be out of the country on the day. like, IT’S EASY TO VOTE, and the penalty isn’t even that ridiculous. i don’t understand why the usa doesn’t have this, except obviously it would make it harder to literally stop minorities from voting.
salparadisewasright
I think we Americans tend to forget that a lot of other countries don’t actively work to make it harder to vote.
Adding to this here, in Australia you don’t have to vote. Or, more precisely, there’s no way they can tell if you ruined your ballot. You have to turn up, get your name marked off, but you can put a line through the ballot if you don’t think any of the candidates are worth voting for. Or do this:
Or this:
Or this:
You have get your name crossed off (if you don’t want to wear the fine), but you don’t have to make your vote counted if you’re opposed to it.
And it is so, so easy to vote. Stuck at work or on holidays? That’s fine. Do a postal vote. Stuck in hospital? That’s fine. They’ll go to you. Stuck in an old people’s home and can’t get around? Again, they’ll go to you. It’s amazing to me that it’s so hard for so many Americans to actually vote. If you make it compulsory, than at least the government is obligated to provide you with the means to vote.
And look, I get it. Sometimes I don’t want to vote either. But I suck it up, I walk three minutes down the street, and I hope that this year they’re selling lamingtons again. Oh, and I buy a democracy sausage, which, even if all the candidates suck, makes the effort of turning up pretty worthwhile.
ALSO, you can see even on the fucked up ballots that you NUMBER CANDIDATES IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE. There’s no need to calculate whether I would be throwing away my vote on the candidate that I most agree with if they’re not from a major party. I can say, I want that independent person to get in, but if not them, give me Big Party A, and if not them, that minor party person is still better that Big Party B, and I’m not giving any preference to the Lunatic Fringe Party.
Our system certainly has some issues still, but I can show up to somewhere nearby, line up for a few minutes (if at all), vote exactly in line with my values (on paper, leaving a paper trail that can be recounted), and then buy a sausage and some home made cupcakes on my way out.
A country’s voting system matters a hell of a lot and every citizen deserves one that makes it easy to vote and results in a government that is representational and accountable.
And by the way, one time I had a bad asthma flare-up on Election Day and didn’t make it to my polling station. I got my fine in the mail, I filled out the form explaining why I couldn’t vote, no more fine. I would rather have, you know, expressed my preference for who should run my country, but they were cool with the fact that I couldn’t do it that day.

“oh no, what if people actually have to participate in picking the government officials who will impact their lives” jesus christ
For the last time, for everyone who still doesn’t understand: not voting is not a tool of resistance, it’s a tool of surrender.
