Not a whole lot, but it’s better than just my subbed feed. (Mostly niche interests far from any sort of critical mass.)

Have you tried not being injured?

Many instances have domain names that look invalid and/or like scam sites to non-techies. Dot world? Dot social? Dot [obscure country TLD]? There’s also no guarantees that the domain will indicate that it’s a Lemmy site. Both of these become problematic with sharing, as the default (? been a while since I’ve used the web interface) share function links to the poster’s instance and not the community instance. A year and a half ago, the shared links section in my messenger was mostly a Reddit flood. Today, it looks like someone spilled alphabet soup.

If it was 20, maybe even 10 years later, I might have been diagnosed with ADHD as a child. But I wasn’t disruptive and I scored extremely well on tests. In the 80s, that overruled pretty much everything else. And when I had trouble later, it was because I was “lazy.” This is why I dislike the narrative that “gifted means everything came easily until it didn’t and then they failed because they didn’t face hardship.” I didn’t have trouble because I wasn’t challenged. I had trouble because I had undiagnosed ADHD and autism, but got slapped with the lazy label early and often. Nothing I did was ever enough, and I was told my whole life that I just wasn’t trying hard enough. All because I learned to read before kindergarten and scored in the 99th percentile on standardized testing.

Meanwhile, the 5-6 people from my elementary gifted classes that graduated with me all kept excelling through school and into their careers. Which also contradicts the easy narrative that sprang up around “gifted.” Not sure how many of them had concurrent neurodivergencies… but I was the weird one even among the weird kids lol.

It’s better to not ask questions sometimes.

Me learning this about electromagnetism: huh, neat.

Me learning this about something I actually use in day to day life: 🤯

My subscribed feed is either “mostly dead niche interest” or “it’s hitting all anyway.”

DUDE!

…this would trigger a friend of mine so badly (fungi enthusiast and Pluto stan). I want to send it, but at the same time… I’m not sure I’d hear the end of it.

Myself. Which I see as a sign that I need better stuff. I am a low bar.

OCD/AuDHD wreaks havoc on my executive function, and was left untreated for so long that my life is now falling apart.

I’m insufferable for completely different reasons.

I’m a Lucoa kind of guy myself, but not for the reasons you think.
