It's illegal to have navigation in your vehicle tell you there's a camera coming up in France, enforced and punished by high fines (I moved here from NL which has no such law).

I can check again when I get home but I'm fairly sure I didn't enable that when it prompted me for interests when signing up.

"just like the bad-thing-doers of old, today's bad-thing-doers believe what they're doing is actually good" is a keen insight in itself when broadly applied, but useless for distinguishing bad things from good things.

I imagine myself switching over to that pretty quickly if I do stick with the platform (I also use YouTube that way) but that doesn't address the discovery problem. It's just really sad that you give people a platform to say whate

Inspired by another recent post on ATProto I signed up for bsky, but all I see is endless American politics. I relentlessly click "less like this" but it doesn't seem to budge. Is this just what the platform is like? Being co

Guidance definitely can be helpful. Of course it's important that the possibility exists; Ihhave high functioning AuDHD and without extra support I probably wouldn't have made it as far as I have, but there's shadow sides to

It depends on your threshold for normal but the guy has maybe 1/100k strange IQ while holding 1/50 strange beliefs. No matter how weird your beliefs are it'll never make you as abnormal as an Einstein or someone who's 27

It's a mixed bag. I personally wish I had access to medication (but don't have the emotional energy fighting that fight with the medical system and getting rediagnosed in my current country) but amphetamines are unobtainium here t

In many places getting an adult ADHD diagnosis is near impossible. I was diagnosed at age 8 personally, but I now live in a country where adult ADHD is borderline not acknowledged as even existing, and I know people have to fight very hard

This is an interesting list of claims but it's hard to evaluate it as much more than that. I'm aware of several of these arguments and some of them are strong, others have merit but also have standard counter arguments that aren&#

As a piece of generic advice, I suggest turning one's search to feel better into a search for feelbetter. Notice that how we feel is not stable, but changes constantly from moment to moment. Notice that moments of feelbetter and moment

You know I kinda like the idea of framing things in a more optimistic way.

I agree that that is a meaningful difference, but since I expect to be be on my last legs at best 70 years from now, it really doesn't make much of a difference to me , especially when contrasted to here where my home owning plans amo

What a shockingly vacuous article, I don't think it says much other than dressing up the idea of people watching 60 second videos in the most cartoonishly alarmist language conceivable. If there actually is a reason to believe that &qu

I made a serious effort to look into it, but without already knowing where I want to be it was impossible to decide which server to sign onto and it's an expensive choice to make upfront since they don't all federate with each oth

Fediverse will never be useful because balkanization isn't a desirable feature. The question of "which server should I sign up for" is an irredeemable anchor around anyone's neck before they can even start using it. I&#x

I wouldn't be so quick to equate differences in personal anecdotes with stark country-level differences (though it's plausible that everything is worse in America as usual) I grew up in a low income neighborhood in the Netherlands

What a strange read on the situation. The man combined his hobby with his profession and is now retiring a millionaire. Best I can tell the guy must feel like he's had a rewarding, satisfying life so far.
