I just wanna say this is irony that it came up on a work machine tho. Like they really trying to get you out of there ๐Ÿคฃ

That almost makes me wanna switch but I enjoy fish too much....even if it's probably got issues above my level of use bc idk what I'm doing most of the time ๐Ÿ˜†

Yep, esp the burnout. I feel this on so many levels as a audhd person who experiences this so quickly with jobs. Esp since employers just don't get it or value employee health. Because if they did they'd pay more and give more pto and sick leave. Instead the uppers at all these jobs need their bonuses and raises while we get crumbs or let go at the slightest downturn....

Problem is there needs to be a alternative for audhd people like me. I can't do textbooks and I'm tired of being forced to learn things exclusively through them without much practice.

That would've helped tremendously in my "logic and algorithms" class that it felt like never got any practical practice to see in code. So much of my computer classes based in the theory of it all without allowing me to attempt it in practical applications. It's either that or not being based in reality on languages and technologies we need to learn. Like heck I want to get into tinkering too and there's not much for that in schools where I wouldn't have to have a better paying job to afford the materials myself.

Plus with things like history it's bonkers how much stuff I've found out after the fact bc of living in the south. Esp since I know they tried to push states rights bs on us, and definitely make columbus seem like the Saint he's not. Among other stuff bc people who shouldn't be involved in education are dictating things like this.

laid off while on vacation

Oh screw that. I had that happen while I was on a church trip on my first job. They also said I would be better in a job like mcd's where I was standing still at a register. Jokes on them I can't do any of those jobs anymore bc of my audhd and all that goes with it. The meltdowns, anxiety/panic attacks, and generally uneducated people on my conditions that refuse to learn are awful....

I mean, yea that makes sense but I see a ton of dup communities that don't seem even remotely synced up...I could be wrong but yea ๐Ÿค”

Well there's a bunch of content some of my teachers have pulled from that's just as good. Hell with history it's a good idea not to have a state textbook anyway. Shiz omits so much it's unreal. Or it tries to paint times before the Civil war as the best of times despite us yknow owning people o_O

I mean yea but it looks like it's fairly high up tho.....or at least to me it does....

[โ€“] kiranraine@reddthat.com -3 points 2 years ago

I mean lucky you. Usually my problem was shiz would get slow all the time on it. Haven't ever had that issue when I switched. Windows was just constantly getting more and more unstable for me....and I didn't ever mess with anything to make it act like that....

[โ€“] kiranraine@reddthat.com -2 points 2 years ago

That was the point. Bc I have AuDHD and have always struggled with textbooks but no one has offered a accommodation(which most accommodations have been lackluster in how much help they provide) that worked for me. I wanted to be done with college by now, but so many things on top of the lack of hands-on stuff means I feel like I've learned absolutely nothing.

Don't yell or be abusive. And yknow generally not a dick....

Big plus if they're not toxic af, and kinda understand shiz I deal with being audhd. Like I'd love not to need special shiz but I do. But also fights for us to have better wages. Shiz most bosses don't do in one way or another lol
