ADHD dad with 15 year old ADHD son here (also, I have a severely ADHD dad… undiagnosed / untreated, probably like most boomers with ADHD). Second what other’s said. My son is like the least aggressive person ever. Observations of his childhood vrs my childhood vrs stories of my dad’s childhood make me STRONGLY believe aggression in ADHD kids is environmental / cultural in nature… for whatever that’s worth.

1. Homework and chores, hands down. My son says he’ll do it, and doesn’t want help / doesn’t want to be reminded. But GFL unless I sit down and do it with him.

2. Son is an only child, but he gets along REALLY well with his 9 year old cousin (who also has ADHD) and his friends. My son runs LARPs for them. If my son gets angry / aggressive toward anyone in the family, it’s his mother, who sets the strongest boundaries with him. It’s been like that all his life. Mostly they have a good relationship, but whatever social strain he has going on, it’s there.

3. N/A. My son is not aggressive (and never has been). When faced with aggressive behavior from other children, he tries to talk them down and withdraws / gets depressed if it doesn’t work. Again, I attribute this to his early childhood education and to the culture he grew up in. I would say changing the culture / teaching self management and communication tools EARLY is the best advice possible.

4. Worst case, my son and I can enable each other with some of our dysfunctional ADHD behavior and tendencies and we need help from other family members to keep us all on track.

5. See above about culture and education.

There’s a bunch of stuff going on in Bellingham. Or there was five years ago. I vaguely know some people who ended up in that area.

What state do you live in?

They’re neo pagans. I used to hang out on that sub before I quit reddit. It’s NOT satire, but there IS a lot of joking around.

Some of them are as serious (and the same as) Christians praying to try to influence politics. I’m sure quite a few people are casting curses and wishes of destruction at Trump. I’m sure many many more are just casting wards and protections against him (Google the Law of Three and the Wiccan Rede for why EVERYONE’S not doing that).

The big difference between Christians praying and pagans casting spells is that many pagans don’t take their religion that seriously, basically 99% of the rest have a good sense of humor about it, probably about 80% of them approach their religion with an attitude of “this is allegory, but it makes me feel good and I like the community” and the ones that DO take magick really really seriously tend to be good natured about skeptics and to not give a fuck what other people think and perfectly happy to engage in reasonable discussion about why they think magick MIGHT work and why they think gods / goddess MIGHT be listening in some way and what that even means. Another big difference between Christians and pagans is, ask 20 pagans what magick is, how it works and why they do it and you’ll get 20 different answers.

The 5% of pagans who take their religion SUPER SCARY SERIOUSLY tend to be either goth teenagers who read way too many fantasy novels, want to be edgy, want magick to be “real” and want to piss off their parents and pretend they’re persecuted OR weird old polyamorous boomer hippies who took tons of LSD in the 60s and then made money writing books about it. Lots and lots of pagans are atheist / agnostic adjacent. Heck, lots of people I’ve stood in circle with (including me) are openly “I’m an atheist / agnostic, but I miss the community of church and something about honoring the earth and the seasons FEELS sacred.” The truth about pagan communities is that no one gives a fuck about converting you or changing your mind about anything, no one needs you to agree with their version of “the Truth,” everyone just wants you to bring food to the pot luck and then chat you up to see if you’re interested in their D&D game / hacker space / poly collective / art exhibition / ecstatic dance class. They’ll try to get you to drink their homebrew mead and look at their sketchbook, not convert you to believing (or not believing) in something.

The REAL satire is that someone at ABC thought it was worth writing about witches casting spells at politicians to get some clicks. Classic “I’m gonna write an article about these people without having a CLUE what they’re about.”

I got your real druid right here…

People HATE the company, for good reason, but it consistently scores top marks for actual privacy implementation.

Better name than X.

Unfair. There were some episodes with Pike and / or Saru that were… Never mind. Fuck it. Put it in the top box.

I also didn’t know he had a youtube channel and I don’t think I’ve looked at a picture of him since the 90s. I had NO idea the dude had literally turned into Elminster.

5 is right out.

I feel like I’m having that conversation with my father all the time and he still doesn’t get it.

The icing on that cake is that he totally has undiagnosed ADHD and PTSD, and he’s a rich old white man so he gets to go through life ignoring the consequences (for other people) and saying things like “That’s not my problem,” when anyone calls him out.

That went well.

Are we living in a world in which the JS/TS ecosystem is the yardstick by which we measure well written code? I mean… Wait a minute! I figured it out! This is the Bad Place!

• Theoretically Yes, if your Linux partition is not encrypted, any OS can read it. Password protecting it doesn’t do anything to conceal your data, just keeps people from logging into your system while Linux is booted. If this is a security / privacy related question, there is nothing to stop a program running under Windows from reading the data on your Linux partition except

• Practically No, depending on the filesystem you chose (if you went with the default, it’s likely ext4 but could be something more exotic). Out of the box Windows lacks the software / drivers to read most Linux filesystems. If this is a “can I access my files” question, you probably need to install something like this to read your data from Windows. Note that the reverse is not true. Most distros other than light weight distros like Alpine are perfectly able to read the NTFS file system out of the box. Sometimes they can’t write to it unless you install additional tools (like OOTB Debian probably can’t, but I’m pretty sure OOTB Linux Mint can if you change a setting and IDK about OOTB Ubuntu / Fedora / Arch).

The easiest way to share data between Windows and Linux is with a 3rd partition formatted to FAT32, as both Linux and Windows have no problem reading from / writing to it without additional software.

EDIT: The other poster is absolutely correct. The modern way to do this is with exFAT. What can I say? I’m a crusty old engineer.

It’s very likely that adware / spyware / malware targeting Windows users will NOT be able to read Ext4 or other Linux filesystems, unless it’s specifically targeted to do so, so you do have that added “security through obscurity” protection.

Even if this were true, did the pharmacists get a raise? Are they making more money? Or are they just seeing more patients (doing the extra emotional and mental labor that entails) and paying less attention to each one while Safeway and Walgreens pocket any increased revenue?

My TV set is a 7 year old Dell All-in-One PC running Linux Mint. It works great. It doesn’t try to sell me shit. Ads be hella blocked.

This is awesome and there is gonna be so much fraud! All the fraud.

Fighters acted like they were poor little victims vulnerable to mean old spellcasters

About 14-15 years ago, I was playing in a 16th level game where the DM did NOT know how to challenge us. He put us against an astral behemoth with double hit points and our fighter soloed it in one round, dealing out a whopping 2,500ish points of damage in 7 attacks. One of the toughest monsters in the game, with double hit points, and the rest of the party didn’t even get to act.

Later in that game, we abused gate spells to crash rocks into the Abyss at 80% the speed of light.

3.5 is ridiculous.
