Do you eat food from your hands after using the washroom and/or showering?
"Hyperfocus" as ADHD people experience it, might just be how other's experience regular focus lol
Yeah complex issue but I definitely think it's become more of an issue in a highly specialized professional service economy. In previous structures maybe you were dependent on growing food and there were harsher consequences which would have been motivators. Or even in recent history, well paying jobs that required physical labor and little education. We know people in the past exhibited all kinds of issues, but the language used to describe is often hard to translate. They wouldn't just not know adhd exists, but lack the understanding of the mind to even quantify disorders like this, and there would be an entirely different set of concepts and language.
Sounds gross but as long as it isn't with dishes and the dishwasher works right why would it be a problem? Soap is soap.

It's funny how sometimes people try to argue or debate when I say I use Windows to run Ableton or something, like I'm trying to use Windows and making up excuses. My gaming + media creation desktop is a stripped down Windows install cause it just works for that. I also run Linux on everything else and have been a mixed environment sysadmin for like 15 years. Windows Enterprise and massgravel, drivers, Chris Titus Tech's tool, usable Winblows install in under an hour with active time maybe 20-30 minutes.
Makes sense to go simplest as possible on a home pc and even home sever. More important with raid and production capacity planning or enterprise stuff.
They've been rolling out similar stuff at my employer and I'm very mixed on it, but I try and participate and add input where I can since it's an opportunity for that. It's ultimately an HR initiative and meant to benefit the employer, sometimes in more nefarious ways than others. I'm in a union which I consider more important when it comes to my interests as an employee, as well as disability/discrimination law and your rights in that regard.
I read Neurotribes recently for a book club which is basically a book on autism from a very tech-industry point of view, the idea that autism is valuable and even sought out by tech employers is a big part of the thesis. We shared praise and concerns for this notion in the discussion, especially when it comes to the degree of exploitation involved, and the assumptions that someone being autistic would necessarily make them a good boss, or that they would be getting paid what they deserve (less adept at social skills and co-morbidities = less ability to negotiate fair compensation?)
The economic arrangement and inherent conflict of interest between employers and employees is always a wedge. Certain conditions are being commodified under the "neurodiverse" slogan, and often that allows the employer to contribute to their brand more than it benefits employees. I always separate the EDI-branded notions of these conditions and the topics from the actual meaning of them, because a lot of times they're more appropriated by the diversity industry in ways that benefit employers more than employees. If it trickles down to employees in good ways then that's the best case scenario, but given the current political climate I'm super skeptical this type of corporate EDI branding will last as long as I need to work to get my pension.
Yeah used DE since my grandpa gave me one of his when I was like 13, his father was a barber by trade and I also have his straight razor collection (which I don't use).
Actually use a mix of DE, disposable, and electric, depending on the purpose. The Philips oneblade and classic Andis foil for face and jawline with finishing DE touch on flat areas sometimes. I know electric on face... used to have acne too but I find they keep my skin barrier more intact by barely not getting to the skin.
I legit use the double edge on d+bs more than anything... sounds like a bad idea I know but for me it's the easiest, quickest, far superior result, and way less injury than any other method. You maybe wouldn't think this but going on every 3-5 days for like 10 years at this point so I'm completely confident in it. An electric with shortest attachment for pubes and around the edges, then the DE on genitals, nothing better.
Ywss the silent majority. Much prefer to sit at home, got my soft seat and toilet space all nice, little light reading. It's just classy.
Makes sense, 16GB is sort of the new "normal" although 8GB is still quite enough for everyday casual use. "AI PCs" being a marketing term just like "AI" itself.
She released some recipe books too. All the former BA crew are still doing stuff, I think Babish and them use the same crew and editors sometimes as well, some overlap at least.
