That's it. I've peaked.

It's so wild being in online spaces, where by and large generative AI/ChatGPT are generally held in fairly low opinion, then interacting with people IRL and hearing casual statements like

"I use it every day." (Don't??)

"Kids are behind if they aren't using it." (UM.)

"I had a conversation with ChatGPT about..." (NO YOU DIDN'T-)

"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.

six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.

point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but it won't build you the the muscles.

Not even catholic but this is interesting

Clarification on the “We had a pope who was in the Hitler Youth and fought with the Nazis”: Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (pope before Francis), was 6 when the Nazis took power. At 14 he was forced into the Hitler Youth, but he refused to attend meetings even though it risked his ability to attend school. At 16 he was conscripted into the German military. Two years later, when he reached 18, he deserted.

To imply that his enrollment and conscription were voluntary is despicable and ignores the great personal risks he took in acting against the Nazis.

All the young people I know (under 40) are extremely understanding of ADHD so I can't see this problem persisting

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.

Number 5 is a little unhinged. Wanting criminals locked up is not the same as being racist.

Trump claims today

1. Says he wants to end wars, uses violent language in regards to taking back the pamana canal

2. Wants to get to Mars, which is physically impossible with our current Technology.

3. Says he'll rename the Gulf Of Mexico to the gulf of America, he literally cannot do this.

4. Talks about compassion while discounting queer gender people

5. Talks about wanting a colour blind Society, wants to kick out immigrants and declare war on cartels

Cheers to America, a nation completely fucked.

Don't forget to get out their and protect your rights Americans, since the president sure as fuck won't
