You’ve already got some good advice but in no particular order:

1. You are much more articulate than a lot of people. You can read and write better than a lot of people.

2. You’ve been at least emotionally and physically abused

3. You know how to work hard.

4. ADHD is somewhat treatable with medication, at least improvable.

What that translates to:

1. no it isn’t too late, especially if you keep working hard.

2. the things you blame yourself for likely isn’t your fault. Therapy, when you can afford it, should be a priority.

3. working hard is so important for employment. Most jobs don’t require high intelligence. Working hard with a good attitude and working with people is so much more important for most careers.

4. learning disabilities suck. ADHD is hard. You can still learn coping mechanisms and find ways or a career that fits better with it.

Life is hard. It’s harder for you than most. It can still be worth living, but it will be up to you to find a way. I think you can.

If it makes you feel better they’re super shitty to their paying customers too.

You may be able to get in at an electric utility, preferably public power or a co-op. They tend to need both low and high voltage electricians and engineers.

I think I vehemently disagree with you on principle, but it’s a point I hadn’t thought of before, so thank you for pointing out that perspective.

Also… fuck the cobbled together mess that is English.

Edit: some of it is regional pronunciations too

Try something like Wyndly. Same stuff that’s in the shots, just sublingual. Have to do it every day, but can do it at home.

This was the first and the one thing they united to do everything in their power to ensure passage in 2016.

Everything else following was theater and/or smaller scale quid pro quo. Those actions still have serious consequences, especially for reproductive rights and minorities, but delivering money to the wealthy is the one true gospel.

Microsoft makes its money from business and enterprise customers. Home users are a drop in the bucket.

Money from home users is from stealing data.

the people of South Dakota, not the politicians in Pierre, will be the ones to decide whether to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of South Dakota

This reminds that although abortion rights are the most important result of Roe v Wade, there are other rights that were abrogated when it was overturned. It’s hard to say all that was lost, and those generally won’t be recovered with these efforts.

That is a good place to start your journey.

I’m sorry, kinda hilarious that you had to add a sarcasm tag. And sad.

Yes, but also have you seen some game development forums? Oof. Some people just need their gaming chair hooked up to a sun facing launchpad.

come on guys, I do X because of Y, everyone else must do it for the same reason, and if they claim otherwise they’re definitely lying.

On the one hand, those are some jackasses that should be fined. On the other hand the jackass caucus is going to be forever trying to use similar measures as a tool to interfere with the democratic process.

Yeah, most people these days watch the colorized version, but it should really be appreciated in the original black and white.

He’s also fantastic in Rome, an older HBO show if you haven’t seen that one.

That image is very hard not to down vote.

And it’s mind blowing that the two options are polling as close as they are.

Then don’t be part of society is the root of that argument.

Don’t want to be tracked? Don’t use a phone. Or a car.

Don’t want to support exploitative publishers? Don’t read.

Can’t afford rent?

Can’t find a job?

It’s all just blaming people for corporate bullshit.

How do you opt out? Stop texting and delete all messages?

Notepad is simple

Doesn’t mean it’s the best thing for documentation.

Actually… a readme file is probably better for documentation if you’re really going for simple.
