Sadly most people can't make enough money to survive doing that, because any job that let's you work from home WILL requires appointments and meetings even if they're just over zoom. And zoom appointments are about 500 hundred times worse for me shudder.

By that logic any smaller predator that feeds on small animals is a "cat" and any large predator that feeds on larger animals and/or hunts in packs is a "dog" which is... Not at all how nature works. Foxes are canines that exhibit a lot of classic canine behaviour and very little cat behaviour in top of many behaviours unique to foxes, domestic cats are not actually solitary creatures just solitary hunters hence why they develop colonies, some wolf species are solitary hunters such as the maned wolf, birds of prey also fill the same ecological niche as cats, as do weasels, chimpanzees are also apex pack hunting mammals too but no one would ever say they're running "dog software", heck humans are the ultimate Apex pack hunting predator, does that mean wolves are just running "human software"? Lions and hyenas exhibit completely different behaviours and social structures from both domestic dogs and cats as well as each other, lions also aren't the only large cats that hunt in groups, cheetahs can as well when they form a coalition. It just seems like a dumb way to classify animals as if dogs and cats aren't extremely diverse and complex animals in their own right and instead every member has to be forced into these awkward and inaccurate "hardware vs software" stereotypes.

Unfortunately in real life that isn't an option.

I don't think you understand how statistics work.

I mean, if you can find a way to harness it, it sounds like the perfect way to banish enemies to the shadow realm.

Mainly birds of prey I imagine.

Yes because this community definitely doesn't have a huge bias towards US culture.

Foxes don't share all that many behaviours with cats though, they share more with dogs, so I don't know why people always say this.

This and the keys thing are definitely not something the average neurotypical experiences on a day to day basis to a degree that it negatively affects their life and ability to function. Because that's how these mental conditions work, they don't have unique unheard of symptoms that no normal person will ever experience, they experience what neurotypical people occasionally experience, to a debilitating degree and/or at an excessive frequency. For someone with adhd this is an all consuming issue that happens every. Single. Time. You have an appointment, even if it's for an appointment you WANTED to happen that will only bring good things. That is not normal, and if it sounds normal to you, then you may want to book an appointment with your doctor.

Better than a 7am appointment, now that will really ruin my day. Doesn't matter if I got 8 hours sleep the night before (I definitely didn't but let's pretend for a moment), I'm going to be tired for the rest of the week.

And domestic violence only effects... checks notes oh yeah, everyone! Seriously, what kind of argument is that? Are you not aware of how widespread and common domestic violence is in both rural and urban areas and how much it contributes to gun violence and homicide rates?
