In my case I often get stressed with my step-son, because he's not only got the worst case of ADD I've ever seen (without the Hyperactive part) and is always absent-minded, but he also puts zero effort into attempting to overcome his challenges. Teenagers are so damn hard to deal with ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

And at my work I have some "difficult" co-workers who just can't seem to understand the concept of "asynchronous communications" and demand instant attention all the time. Wonderful for someone with a tough time focusing ๐Ÿ˜…

I was able to control my focus with ease instead of having it yanked away by almost anything, and also got able to control the hyperfocus periods (as in, being able to stop whatever I'm doing to take care of other important needs).

As a side benefit, my mood also got better, during medication effects I feel less anxiety and am less prone to anger.

It was dumb autocorrector moment, I did mean Krita's Kiki indeed, thanks for the heads up :')

Based Konqi! Best FOSS mascot alongside Krita 's Kiki!

Edit: Fixed autocorrect's mischief on Krita's name

Completely understandable. It's a shame Linux is still a non-priority for most large communication apps. If Windows suddenly changed their display protocols, all of them would try to implement it fully in a matter of a few days, but for Wayland support they've dragged their feet for years.

Yes, but only on Chromium-based browsers unfortunately.

It's been working for me on FireFox on most video conference sites. Could be smoother, but it's serviceable

I know about how you, all the way from the west, consuming only western media and participating in western politics, knows more about the east than eastern folks themselves. All the eastern countries and the global south know about what western people believe.

Likewise. I'd like to see how your "version of the facts" goes on the eastern countries. Have a good day.

Starving families =/= massive landowners. The ones hit by the famine were the families working for the landowners, most of them owned no land at all. If you want to blame someone, blame rich folks being pissy about not being able to exploit families on their farms anymore

That logic about Stalin destroying the farms himself doesn't even work. The country needed the farms and crops as much as any other country building an army. Are you gonna say next that he ordered the eating of babies and kicking of dogs?

I'm not Stalinist btw, but history has facts, and landowners who were having their farms taken and wanted to make the communist party's life harder are a fact. Bourgeoisie will be bourgeoisie no matter which country.

When someone brings Holodomor they're not even trying to understand what they're even blaming, so out of tiredness, I don't bring up the fact that the ones who ruined the farms and crops were the rich private landowners who didn't want their properties to be turned over to the state. Holodomor is a capitalist genocide in what was a communist country.

Think for a second: why would a country building an army, needing healthy adults, purposely cause a famine?

Meanwhile every western genocide is about racism, slave-labour and exploitation of the land. Every single one.

Also, nice fallacies you're throwing out there, like that ad hominem at the end, truly marvellous.
