Sadly, I don’t have a choice. My employer has consistently refused my requests for a 24/7 personal driver and US based public transportation is kinda garbage.

Nobody took my license away.
I think most people who argue this either way aren’t actually serious about it. You do have solid points, however.
Regardless, I will continue to argue about this point (opposite of whatever side whoever I’m talking to is taking) until it feels more annoying than fun to me.
I’ve flipped two cars. The only injury I had from those two incidents was cutting my finger in safety glass due to my own stupidity. The major down side to seatbelts is that they are difficult to undo when your car is upside down. The benefit of seatbelts is that they let you complain on the Internet about how hard it is to undo your seatbelt when upside down.

Technology@lemmy.world•The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewallEnglish
3·3 个月前I think part of the issue is that it does act more like a search engine crawler than a traditional user. A lot of sites rely on real human traffic for revenue (serving ads, requests to sign up for Patreon, using affiliate links, etc) that gets bypassed by these bots. Hell in some cases the people running the sites are just looking for interaction. So while there is a spike in traffic, and potentially cost, the people running these sites aren’t getting the benefit of that traffic.
Basically these have the same issues as the summaries that Google does in their search results but, potentially, have much larger impact on the host’s bandwidth
Oh man I forgot about those site! Back in the day my mom couldn’t afford to get me many new video games, so I’d download tons of demos.
Im going to assume you’re not trying to be an asshole here and don’t really understand.
Yes, most of us know that this is hyperbole. We understand that non-ADHD folks aren’t robots and generally have an understanding of what social interaction for people without ADHD looks like.
Its the degree to which this effects us that is in play. When it comes to most things with ADHD if you read it and it sounds like something that everyone experiences just be aware that folks with ADHD experience it to a debilitating level.
It isn’t that other people don’t get sidetracked or go on tangents when telling a story, it’s that ADHD folks struggle to or are unable to tell a concise story. Even if we’ve practiced and rehearsed it 1000 times. It’s common for us to clarify something multiple times because we’ve forgotten what we’ve already told you or start in what seems like the middle of a conversation because we’re unaware that you’re lacking context. It’s common for us to start explaining something, completely forget what we’re talking about half way through, and just keep talking and hope we somehow answer the original question. It can be legitimately difficult to have conversation on a specific topic.
To the best of my understanding, this can be explained by the fact that most of us have a very limited working memory and struggle to pass information between working, short term, and long term memory. Often, we’ve quite literally forgotten what we were talking about and are using context clues to keep going.
edit: Noticed that I missed a few words/had a partially rewritten sentence. I feel like I accidentally proved my point somewhat.

I love the design of the physical book.
I started reading the actual book and it felt like the game designers were chastising me because I could potentially play the game in a different way than they envisioned it.

3·6 个月前Even with all of the examples here and that I’ve seen around, it’s still something I know I don’t fully grasp. I’m also confident this is the same kind of limitation that flat earthers use when they say “Well I can’t comprehend the Earth being a sphere, it just looks flat to me.”

A whole list? That sounds like it would take somewhere between 3 seconds and 6 hours. Who has that kind of time?
