Still a chaos goblin though. Apparently that wasn't a symptom of my ADHD, its just my personality.

Now my meds have balanced, caffeine has a normal level of effectiveness. I drink less coffee but spend the same amount as before so quality has increased accordingly.

Caffeine barely touched the sides with me until I got diagnosed with ADHD last summer. During a meds titration meeting my doc found out my caffeine habit she reminded me of our initial conversation. She'd asked if I engaged in any self medication and I replied "no." Apparently that answer was wrong.

Why? Brits have grown up in a country where the accent changes drastically in as little as 30 miles. Whilst there are many disparate accents in the states they aren't as broadly represented. Fuck the guy who plays Lucifer has a welsh accent normally.

Transphobia’s better PR has allowed it to survive longer but it does seem to be running out of steam. The fight is far from over but but I remain hopeful.

It’s a troubling mix that has caused both groups to self radicalised in the same way. Only the most rage filled voices gain traction. It turns on calmer voices within it until they leave and only the most extreme remain.

Both have entirely undeserved sense of victimhood. They blame a nebulous cabal of opposition for all their ills. A complete lack of self awareness and an extremely online presence.

Received English tempered with a hint of Australian is "Asgardian" is it?

Whilst it's not my style because I dont believe everything should be for me, I can damn well appreciate the sheer craft not to mention the aesthetic values.
Absolutely lovely stuff.

I assume these are solvable issues but how they're solvable is going to be interesting.

I mean it looks great but i have so many questions. How do you ground the strings? How do you manage to tune one string without everything else going out of tune. How do you even intonate it? How do you isolated string so hitting one string induce vibration in the others?

Picking a fight with a naturally funny guy after shitting yourself live on camera in the oval office is certainly a choice. I'm sure that will not come back to haunt him in any way.

No but everyone just leaves their bags and people are always about. Theres not much worry about theft etc. I wouldn't leave my laptop etc but everything else is fine.

Ignoring the worst people because they're on one side or the other is exactly how things have gotten this bad.
I'm all for trying to step away from some (emphasis on some) of the factionalism the left hamstrings itself with but I think drawing the line at the Epstein crowd is an easy call.

I am absolutely not saying its a "both sides are as bad as each other" thing here either. There is definitely way more of a right wing bias in this. I just think it would be wrong to pretend it is as simple as a Right vs Left thing. We'd be letting some very nasty people get away without scrutiny.

I'd love to agree but it seems that there are powerful people from what would have been called "the left" at the time in there too. It's more powerful people hang out more together than we'd like to imagine. Add to that the "power corrupts" adage and its so much more pervasive than wed like to think
