My mum made the decision to not let me skip any grades as well as not let me be tested got ADHD and still is like this.

Everyone basically saying that you can fuck yourself and should never drive again is a bit of a dick at best. It’s ofc perfectly fine to not want to drive. But if you do have to, or if you end up wanting to in the future, it’s not like this was your only chance and you can never again learn. If you want/have to get back to it, please practice with someone experienced in a calm and safe environment. Pay for an instructor, go to and empty parking lot, etc. Take as much time as you need before you’re good enough to drive in traffic again.
- Comment on the cake is a lie 2 weeks ago:
you’re done with your research before there’s any official ruling
This really isn’t how science works at all. Results that aren’t reproducible and can’t be retested under varying conditions are almost completely meaningless. And no way to find out if it’s (justly or not doesn’t even matter) decided that you can’t do that kind of experiment shortly after your single one experiment is over.

I’m not saying more kids die in traffic over there. I’m saying people have to be, and are, way more careful to keep their kids away from traffic.
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 2 weeks ago:
That, and streets are deadly hellscapes over there a lot of the time. Driving laws are barely enforced and infrastructure is almost like it’s intended to kill anyone who dares to exist outside a car.
- Comment on Who is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and why is she in my toothpaste? 😡🤬😡 2 weeks ago:
It isn’t. Soap is the salt of a fatty acid, sodium lauryl sulfate is a salt, but not of a fatty acid. Both are surfactants (meaning it breaks surface tensions), but have some different properties. A relevant difference in cosmetics is that SLS strips oils waaay better, which can damage your skin barrier and your hair. For some people it works fine, for others it’s too harsh and soap is better. (For me it damages my hair structure and thus makes my waves lackluster, but is fine in shower gel)

You know, if it’s that terrible, and construction would be better, you could probably get a job in that.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 weeks ago:
How people can look at (mostly) state owned rail vs private airlines and still think the free market benefits the average person is one of life’s big mysteries to me.
- Comment on I'm looking for a tutorial video, "On today's episode of Will It Blend, we have a blender, some water, and some used lithium batteries" 4 weeks ago:
I threw a like 2x2x2 cm chunk of lithium in water once and the reaction is much weaker than a mint on some cola. So if anything, it’ll be the electric shorting that causes a reaction, the lithium won’t be all that interesting.

I have a darkish friend
How did it take until this to for me to realise this is a troll

You’re just afraid she’ll like it too much. My partners pecs look great in a bra.

That’s the responsible way to enjoy it! But you can’t have any expectations that it’s a good idea beyond having fun with it. And I find that sometimes these posts about how to do the lottery in the smartest way possible kind of detract from the fact that it’s wrong and possibly harmful to think that it’s anything aside from a potentially fun thing to do.
- Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them 1 month ago:
I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re being smart about the lottery by thinking about which is the smarter course of action in case of a win. The only way to be smart about the lottery is to not play.
- Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them 1 month ago:
To be fair, it’s best to not participate in the lottery.
- Comment on Finally a map to show me 1 month ago:
Yesss, pet peeve of mine too! I have D or E cups, and they’re pretty small, medium at best. Theyre pretty much exactly a hand full. A thick jumper almost completely hides them. Cup size without knowing the band size means jack.

Why not just drink it black then? To be fair, creamer isn’t a thing where I’m from.

One time my French teacher came into the statistics crash course I was teaching. The uno reverse of learning.
- Comment on i broke 1 month ago:
They tried to figure out which one of my sensory issues is tied to which one of my traumata. I’m autistic.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
What’d help them most would be adjusting who they’re interested in. It’s easiest to click with someone of a similar age group with a similar amount of relationship experience. Neurodivs also tend to click best with other neurodivs. It’s easiest to meet through a shared hobby or interest- partner and I are both neurodiv and met by nerding out over our respective research projects, at a semi quiet bday event.
- Comment on Unfair is what it is 1 month ago:
Somehow the funniest part is that this isn’t anywhere near as painful as a bad period, and the pain doesn’t last for days at a time either.
- Comment on Thats fair 1 month ago:
I’d upgrade the depression away from my brain and give myself the ability for hyperfocus at will and to turn off sensory issues. Taking the autism and ADHD away altogether would leave me a different human, idk that almost feels like dying a little bit, or being lobotomized. Wouldn’t want to lose a part of my brain that makes me me. But super valid to want to be neurotypical!
Thinking about it, if it counts as an organ, idk if I wouldn’t rather change my immune system to stop attacking healthy tissue and get better at attacking viruses instead. Tough choice.

You’re an asshole. I’m not sorry for saying that.

Can confirm, my country has doctor assisted suicide (as in, they hand it to you to swallow, or you or someone you appointed picks it up from the pharmacy), and it’s very reliable and painless.

I got a 2€ one at Ikea lmao. Get a long one if you have trouble/can’t be arsed to bend down and touch your toes.

I genuinely didn’t think this was the case, but makes sense!
- Comment on Found Lily and Mitch 1 month ago:
I’ve heard this before, and don’t get it. I mean, sure, I’m a late bloomer, I was about 20 when I figured out my sexuality and even older when I figured out my gender. But people don’t experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they’ll grow up to be attracted to?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
No offense, but this post is sort of crazy to me because I’ve read a bunch of comments explaining how it actually happens, and id categorize all of them as normal results of critical thinking. As in, you could’ve answered your own question with some critical thinking.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 1 month ago:
Oh absolutely. Far less likely though*, since car drivers actually have accountability here. As soon as there’s no fear of punishment, ppl will be assholes. I’d rather people don’t be assholes. Also, one sidewalk cyclist broke my glasses and I couldn’t afford new ones, another one hit me on a way where my hip still creaks years later. So again, I’d just rather every participant in traffic abides by the rules and doesn’t endanger others, even if the danger isn’t life threatening.
