Huh? How is it not healthcare? ADHD is a disorder that's usually well-treated with medication.
I get the person is applying for a disability claim but surely they must already have tried and failed to achieve satisfactory symtpom adjustment to receive welfare?
I appreciate the sentiment but you also are making some weird assumptions:
"Such a massive problem"
I said it's not a big deal.
came off as wanting to prove everyone else who doesn't listen to music is crazy
Normally I'd think that yeah, given the negative reception I must've phrased myself badly, but honestly after reading it all, I think y'all invented this in your heads.
It's because you think the opposite - that anyone like me is crazy, so when I act like I am normal - you take it as an insult.
And I am normal, as far as I can tell, once more - this is the only place offline or online that anyone had an issue with this, and I'm not gonna set expectations for normality based on a hyperniche hipster forum thread.
Yeah they just mean the more layperson understanding of AI as in AI-generated content or as YouTube Studio dubs it: "synthetic media" (pretty good term imo)
Basically just stuff that was "generated".
I'm sure transformative use of ML like filters etc. would be fine. Even incorporation of generated elements in otherwise a normal video would be fine.
Yes, but he is also right. TNG plays universally, it never felt very dated, and DS9 and VOY aren't anything either.
Picard's wacky Brexit analogies or stolen plot from ME3 or just shooting it in modern day Mexico with guinan's bar inexplicably called ten-forward etc. it's just gross honestly.
Modern music/vernacular is far from Nu-Trek's worst problem. It's dogshit overall quality is the main issue.
From every line of dialogue and plot point to the design of every little panel on every ship and the fact they are generic CGI sweatshop graphics that make no sense. Pure unadulterated slop.
I don't think RB/BB are bad showrunners or producers, they're not the best writers trek had, but they know how to create an interesting premise and how to get shit made and made well by talented folks who know what they're doing. I wish they got to do their original version of Enterprise, but I'm happy with what we got in the end too, even if Manny Coto's S3 was the obvious real peak of that show (with Terra Prime/Demons a close second, god I miss actuallyWoke Trek).
None of these are things Nu-Trek can claim to have. RB/BB may be every kind of asshole, but a trek show conceptualised and ran by them would stand head and shoulders above every other trek since enterprise and its not even close.
I'm just glad For All Mankind exists, which is the progressive optimistic spirit of Star Trek infused in a primetime sci-fi drama by Trek veterans like Ron D. Moore, Joe Menosky and the Okudas, and a whole slate of modern talented writers, directors and actors.
At the end of the day I don't want star trek over and over and over forever on and on, I want good shows, star trek was good, so I liked Star Trek. All good things...
It's just a real shame honestly, star trek succumbing to studio brainrot like that, it deserved better.
Oh yeah for sure, and I do do that as well, you never know what kind of melody will pop in, but most of the time, when I'm walking to the store it's not exactly inspirational or got me feeling creative anyway.
For me - creativity requires initial stimulus. Some boredom is good, but too much and it's depressing, and induces anhedonia. A right level of adventure is perfect. Walk to the store, not exactly an adventure. But the mind can travel. Will it be this today, or something more like this, maybe a bit of this or like that or maybe something older or totally out of the leftfield.
Or maybe I just disagree with the insane amount of judgement and projection aimed at me in this thread for no fucking reason at all, after posting about something fairly common and uncontroversial, therefore I am replying with what I think.
Some of us are actually intellectually honest, we agree with the ideas we agree with and disagree with the ideas we disagree with, not everything is motivated by some animalistic desire for an argument like you seem to imply.
I'd much prefer to agree with likeminded folks or hear some well-reasoned perspectives but alas, I'm not going to agree with shit takes parroting LLM pop-psych influencer buzzword bullshit about muh stimulation muh technology in a condescending tone like I have a problem - when i never implied the opposite even though I easily could have done so and would have if I really wanted a fight - (and I would've made an art of it, too).
I will keep replying and stating my point and my case no matter how many cookie cutter morons yap about "meditation" or w/e else comes out their monkey-ass cranium.
I fundamentally don't care about any of this, but I will keep replying because I want folks here scrolling by this thread - horrified by the behaviour of the commentariat swarm - wondering what they must have smoked that people parrot pop-psych bullshit about dopamine as if it were gospel and hold up their life in a Christian heaven/hell dichotomy like a 50s housewife all clued up on what's the trendy oppressive shit to spew.
I want those folks to know that the hivemind is frail and weak and cannot stand the smallest challenge, challenge that I pose purely by existing and just saying the inoffensive and largely uncontroversial IRL things I think in a calm manner and that they are not alone in being reasonable and rational and normal people still exist out there in the world, I'm just sorry they have to read through the rest of this thought toilet of a comments section.
No, distracted by the world, away from my thoughts on the world.
When I pick my music, I set a tone and vibe of the mental journey while my body autopilots to the store and back, then everything else - inner ambitions, dreams, ideas, thoughts, observations immediate and past etc. slots in.
Edit: downvoted for a literal description of my life lol.
Yeah I have ADHD too, professionally diagnosed and medicated, but even all the NTs I know don't just drool off into nothingness, this thread is eye-opening honestly.
I absolutely daydream and let my mind wander. That is precisely why I listen to music. Obviously the brain requires stimulation, or we wouldn't have a multi-billion dollar entertainment industry and the arts nor science nor literature nor much of anything really.
I personally would derive no stimulation from hearing what racist crap some grampa is shouting down at the pub, nor talking to some random about nothing with whom I have nothing in common.
That's crazy, I would go nuts from the monotony of something like that.
I don't live rurally and I love it, I have nice scenery as well, and I notice all the same things and think about all the same things just like you, but keeping one of my senses busied and tied down is important to facilitate mindfulness, not the opposite.
It is interesting to hear your unique and unusual perspective though.
When there's no novelty of course it's a burden lol, staring off into things I already have seen and know is not exactly intellectually stimulating or enjoyable.
And idk, it's not odd at all, we humans have put massive amounts of time and resources into entertainment for this very purpose, the vast majority of people don't enjoy staring off into nothing till their eyes unfocus, only the extremely online people think that's what people want.
Like I said elsewhere, the few people who do not have earphones in going about their chores stand out, they are very much in the minority, and they are few and far between and I don't know a single person like that IRL.
Were this not the case, we wouldn't even have entertainment, nevermind billions of dollars spent on movies, shows, albums, fiction and non-fiction books, newspapers etc.
Heck I'd go as far as to say that all religion, science and philosophy that did not serve immediate purpose of finding the next meal was created so we could better our lot - which inherently is maximizing happiness, and that inherently includes intellectual stimulation and fulfillment.
I prefer to keep my brain going all the time if I can, it feels much better, always engaging with new art or new ideas inner and outer alike.
