  • There are some things I’ve grown to like. I feel better represented by my choice of instance. I could self host my own, but don’t really want to incur that maintenance. I do like that if my instance were to do something I disagree with, I don’t have to leave the community as a whole like I did with Reddit, and should instead find a new home.

    I also kind that it’s easier to filter out the personalities that bother me, since they tend to flock to specific instances. I still have to contend with them occasionally, but that’s no different than Reddit, but less often.

    Most of my interactions here have been with reasonable people, even when we disagreed. It does feel a little quiet at times, but that’s ok.










  • I’m fairly certain I annoy the people at my bank because I always insist on calling them back at their official number if they ask for any personal information. I don’t fuck around with my bank security. I did however get got a couple of more years ago back when the chrome browser window phishing attack first started and had my Steam account stolen for a solid minute.

    That’s the attack where they simulate a browser window so what you think is a oauth popup is actually just inpage javascript and CSS.

    I will point out that, in the US at least, an official diagnosis isn’t required to get those meds. It’s just a lot easier to be prescribed them with it. I’m not officially diagnosed but I do see a psychiatrist who was willing to try them with no prompting from me.

    Ultimately though they didn’t work out because of the impact on my blood pressure, I’m on non-scheduled ADHD meds now that have made a huge difference.


  • Because there are alot of ignorant people in the world afraid of what they perceive as different.

    In your first two examples, regardless of not being politicians it’s clear that by helping put politicians in power they benefit, so whether they genuinely care or not, it’s just about money and lack of compassion to them. And continuing to drive class warfare continues to benefit them.

    In your last example, I think that person is just in the ignorant and afraid of change category with an unfortunate amount of exposure.
