My local State government senator and representative couldn’t even spare 5 seconds of a staffers time to respond to me. Both Democrats. Guess they can win without me!

I rawdog ADHD and what helps me is checklists. At work, it’s a physical daily planner and using digital checklists in Teams, etc. to stay on track. At home, it’s setting Google Calendar reminders even for little things because I know I’m going to forget if I don’t set it.
Otherwise IMO we’ve already cut the most effective medicines out of the premise so it doesn’t leave much, although I will note there are modern (prescribed) ADHD meds that are not quite traditional amphetamines you could look into.
On the supplement side, Caffeine and L-Theanine taken together is incredibly effective, and makes me feel like what I imagine a NT person feels. However, I actually avoid relying on this and save it for clutch time as you can develop L Theanine tolerances extremely quickly.
Yup. Welcome to the endgame of capitalism. This has all been predicted by the immortal science of Marxism, and will continue to follow the predictions.
Additionally, we are in a literal climate apocalypse. Every piece of current data and every projection shows the world in active and accelerating collapse. If every human on Earth simultaneously turned communist and decided to save the world, we could reverse it. But anything less and it’s all fucked within our lifetimes.
These two pieces combined are what the world’s ruling class know. Just like they knew about leaded gas and greenhouse gases. They see the numbers, the worsening quality of life.
And yet we must persist, so I do. Stay armed and loosely organized with stocks of food supplies (or a garden if you have land) and persist within the system while helping others when you can. I don’t know what else we can do individually. The alternative is to be destitute and homeless and unable to help anyone, which apparently makes me a Fed to say. /shrug
Nah it’s all like that. Most tradies are shit people (just like office folks and the rest of humanity) that just happen to have a little more work ethic, skill, and the intelligence to use them.
I support the highest paid union in my district, higher than teamsters, longshoremen, and stevedores, and for every 3 earnest good folk, there’s 10 asshole drama queen privileged trouble causing Trump supporting losers.
People with active restraining orders from their baby momma, that get apprentices horrifically injured and weasel out of accountability, waste hours making the office explain that their own fuckups are in fact not according to company and union procedure, fuck an entire job site by running new mechanics out of town that were just trying to put down roots (in the same union), etc.
They’re just people. And this is why a vanguard is needed to educate them. Frankly some of the rhetoric I see makes me wonder how looped in to reality some folks are, as if these people that struggle against their own interests would ever spontaneously assist the glorious revolution.
If it’s a bog standard private landlord in the US (no government involvement), I’m pretty sure they can’t actually check your salary via some third party tool.
They might verify that you work at the company you claimed but you could always tell your boss/HR it was a scam or identity theft.
Like the others said, a photoshopped offer of employment or pay stub should work. A fake contract letter with trusted contact may be easier to do though, especially since you have a business you control.
$2m to lease an office for 16 months and $7m for drones and tech.
No doubt this will be added to the department’s budget and taxpayers will be forced to pick up future lease extensions, drone attrition, new drone models, training, and the continued costs of server hosting, software licenses, etc. in perpetuity.
I am 100% open to being shown otherwise, however my current view is that no conflict will occur.
Liberals will show up in droves with their Ukraine and Taiwan flags, stand around shouting platitudes, do nothing, demand nothing, and get sent home when they’ve been beaten up enough by the state security forces without ever fighting back.
For all practical purposes, there is no Left in America, and the ones that proudly proclaim it are too busy condemning each other online for not conforming to their perfect idea of the ideal Marxist proletariat (because that is totally our greatest priority in a political state where leftism doesn’t even exist) because god forbid they help a real person instead of telling other Marxists they deserve to be “proletariatized” for having a STEM education and are a fascist, actually, for consuming an egg.
Liberals are the majority of these crowds and they fundamentally cannot change the system they are themselves supporting, as we all already know.
The only thing left is collapse IMO.
Yeah and it’s also reasonable to say “all Western men” to this, but it’s just different in South Korea. Like, women must cook bomb-ass home cooked Korean meals every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They must give 100% effort in cleaning and homemaking. To do otherwise is unthinkable.
You end up with these fucking incredible kind and intelligent women who dedicate so much effort to the household stuck together with absolute slobs of partners that don’t give a shit because all that is the norm.
It’s a deeply sick society and the ultimate speed run of capitalism, from Korean War rubble to capitalist utopia to complete sociological and demographic collapse in 70 years. One lifetime.
If I had the chance to expose Earth’s location to Trisolaris, I would do so without hesitation 10000/10000 times.
