A perfect cretic, long, short, long (– ᴗ –).

Check out elevenlabs. They used to do a reader I liked, Omnivore. It’s pretty natural sounding. As of now, it’s free, but I like it.

Glad you two clicked. It’s nice knowing someone out there has similar ideas and a different way of solving problems.

I tried to get an ADHD diagnosis a year ago. The practitioner basically said no but it was hard for her because I was so on the line. But when I hear the litany of behaviors by a subset of people with ADHD, it can bring me to tears because it’s nice to see I’m not the only one.

PM work can be fun for sure.

Awesome. I’ve been feeding the ebook into a text to speech reader. It’s been working for me.

I’m glad to hear you have a boss that’s open to your mode of thinking. Good luck and I wish you well!

I’m not a nostalgic one, but Space Cadet got me with all the good feels.

If this was what was commented, I’d have a different argument and tone. But they were explicit in mentioning lashing out.

We can discuss your statement, but I didn’t want to muddy my response with it.

I’d recommend reading Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. I’m not sure that all the claims hold up to scrutiny, but it’s nice to see a book that notes the way I like to think has real world application.

Somethings I suspect you’re doing are:

• Analogical Thinking of Deep Structures to create an Outside View (Chapter 5)
• Spacing which gives time away from a problem and asks part of the mind to re-collect the issue so you know those deeper structures well. This is presented in the chapter on learning, but I suspect it’s relevant here (Chapter 4)

Oddly enough, if your boss wants to foster creative problem solving for novel problems, this book might convince him to give you more latitude and resources to do your thing.

Sure, people lash out. Cool. Don’t give them a pass. Again, nothing in the post said you had to give them a pass for lashing out because you understand that their trauma caused them to lash out. Where are you getting that the post even remotely suggests this? What part of the post is this the other side of the coin?

Nothing in the original post says anything about giving traumatized people a pass for lashing out.

I once heard about a post that for zero downvotes. I think someone made it up though.

Just wait till tomorrow to have your kids. Kegels it in!

By not fighting the fascists they allow them to run rampant. This is accelerationism.

Sometimes I’m too tired to unmask.

No replies. Two edits. I wish you well.

Sometimes people with addictions need a little tough love like that.

Why do people do this? Is it just easier than the more difficult solution of giving someone a sense of connection and a sense of being seen…?

Fuck… If you’ve ever spent time with a population of addicts, you know they are the toughest people on themselves. They know they are going to die. And they know that everything they’ve tried failed to change that course. If you’ve ever met those people, which are most addicts own their addiction, you know that this is just another drop in the shame bucket.

If you can’t sit with how off base your comment was, you need to really look you at yourself in the mirror.

Hit play on flight of the valkyries.
Light cigar.
Cackle ceaselessly.

Cut the wide end of. Dip your tooth brush into opening. Moan when you do. 60% of the time, it works every time.

I’m not sure I see that. The first section is about putting engineering needs first and the last section is managing expectations upwards.

Brilliant!

No. The illustrator’s name, Asia Orlando, is in one of the opposums.
