On my 25 year old Porsche that cost less than a FSD software subscription I can do those things with the tips of my fingers while pulling 1G in a turn with my eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.

You have to use a touch screen for those on a Tesla? If true that is asinine, those cars aren't safe to drive.

I drive a convertible with the top almost always down, and have an unusually deep voice, and also hate talking to phones/cars. With my voice, I could never get Alexa or similar things to work at all- until the last few months when Appl

Might be fine for non-critical entertainment systems which nowadays also take voice control, but never critical vehicle functions. Things like hazard lights and HVAC should be illegal to be on touch screens.

You are thinking in terms of authority instead of as a scientist synthesizing diverse evidence and considering possible biological mechanisms. They are not vouching for those cited three doctors here, but considering their claims as weak ev

There’s an optimal middle ground and physical real world communities built around a shared interest generally fit this well- you still get a diversity of people, but they all want to be together for a reason.

There’s nothing to read in the articles anymore- they just rehash the title point over and over interspersed with unrelated clip art.

There have been huge advancements in specific life strategies for ADHD- many of them organically from the community, but they aren’t the same things that work for people without ADHD to add structure and discipline- they are adapted to requ

I would turn that around and say addiction should be more often seen in the context of self medicating: what issue is the person having that the drug is fulfilling some important need for them, even if it is doing so in an unhealthy way? Th

I recommend getting evaluated for ADHD. Both drugs and non-drug management strategies can radically improve your quality of life. I don’t see how you can be “untestable.” There is no test- they interview you and other people in your life to

I have a feeling from your comment that you know more about aviation than you are letting on, and the part about being in DC not giving you a right to an opinion seems pretty silly in that context.

It’s not widely used in mainstream medicine, but carefully tuned pharmacologic doses of iodine can successfully treat hypothyroidism for some people- such as the person you are replying to. It’s an “alternative medicine” thing but the biolo

You are taking a pharmacological dose of iodine to treat an illness, rather than a nutritional dose. In some people that can “force” thyroid production and treat hypothyroidism without requiring thyroid hormone- but isn’t a good idea for mo

Yes, that is absolutely the case, and while Narcissism appears strong and confident from the outside, it's really driven by massive amounts of anxiety and terror over not appearing good enough. Narcissism is really an awful disability

A lot of men are terrified of the idea of not seeming masculine enough- and what it would mean for them romantically, socially, and professionally- which is why this is appealing as an idea. Supposed “alpha behaviors” are seemingly identica

It's even worse than that: it's more like buying unrefundable materials to build a house today on an account/invoice, knowing you will likely be unemployed before the bill comes due, but after the materials are delivered. You

Agreed- also in my case it’s not bravery. Bravery is when you’re scared but do it anyways because it’s necessary- not being scared when you should be is a bad thing and isn’t related to bravery.

We hired new people with less experience and restarted the projects, but in a lot of cases the projects were set back years with no reduction in the cost.
