This move against TikTok predates the Hamas attacks and Israel's military action. It's insane that TikTok's ban is because teens are more likely to be pro-palestine.

Javascript, perhaps?

Not the person you replied to, but I definitely had emotional outbursts but was the top student in my class. I was diagnosed as ADHD in graduate school, at the age of 23. Meds were life-changing for me - I not only had classic ADHD, so I had study patterns to unlearn (studying with music + TV + snacks + distractions) but I also had Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria - basically, I would hyper-focus on any perceived critical comment, rejection, slight, etc. I would contemplate whether I could ever show up in class again after a side comment from a teacher. It took so long to unlearn that (and some antianxiety meds as well). If your kid actually has ADHD, the best thing you can do for them is have them work with a therapist to learn coping skills and the proper way to do things. Meds may enter the picture eventually, but a therapist that works with ADHD and autistic people primarily will be the most helpful. Little things - fidget toys that help you pay attention to auditory stimuli, weighted lap blankets to work at your desk, etc. help so much sometimes, and they're relatively simple fixes, but if you don't know to look for the issue, you don't find a solution.

And, in a rural, agrarian society, not educated or up to date on recent events enough to vote in an informed way. Paternalistic, sure, but not completely unreasonable given the era.

My dishes fucking sparkle, and that’s because I rinse them clean.

This is how I can tell you live in an area that doesn't have hard water. Water spots all over my dishes, even though I rinse them... sometimes because I rinse them.

Travis used to be brutal about this. Email headlines that were like "Still failing...", one piled up after another when you were trying to tweak the CI process.

I like to keep my work-related communities separate from my hobby-related communities. So Python/R/Data/Academia communities would be grouped under "work", and Gardening/Bread/Crochet/3D printing would be "hobbies", and then I might want a news group where I can see politics, local news, US news, world news, tech news, etc.

This would be really helpful to me for reducing distractions when I'm actually trying to get information about what's going on in the (real) world or in my specific corner of the programming world.

Beehaw is only defederated from two instances iirc, so most of us are still able to see and interact with them.

Lemon seeds contain pectin, this is just a natural way to extract it. You can get the same effect from using pectin instead of gelatine in your jam.

My opinion is fairly similar as an ADHDer. Hard enough to navigate the information I need on the web without getting lost, adding ads as well just makes it impossible and overstimulating.

I miss the /r/legaladvice drama and the fun on /r/bestoflegaladvice. That was my go-to "take a break and feel better about my life" sub where I would also learn things occasionally.
