Man… Woody Allen has had quite the story arc hasn’t he.

When I read this I wondered if this disgusting man did what he did because of his Muslim beliefs so I looked up the connection between honour killings and Islam. Turns out it has very little to do with Islam and a lot to do with just being a horrible, poorly educated human being. What I found out was that people be killin their wives and daughters for what they perceived as dishonouring them since way before Islam came along. If anything, Islam tried apply some brakes on that whole idea. For example demanding that four male eyewitnesses had to actually have seen the act for it to be recognised as legit. This article is quite interesting.

Edit: Sorry. I just saw this post getting re-posted in a bunch of other places. Hadn’t realised it was part of an anti-islam social media push. Didn’t mean to get in the way. Carry on.

Wow :) you’re the only one to engage with my post and not the throwaway bit at the end when I randomly thought about dentists.

So I can easily describe to you how my behaviour became less masked using the “golden retriever” analogy. My energy has often been described by close friends as being “golden retriever” like, a bit like Dug, the dog from UP. Kinda goofy and positive and bouncy. Before I knew about ADHD I used to keep that fairly hidden except to friends. Now that I know why I behave like that I can be a lot more me, a lot more of the time. I’m a much happier person for it too.

My leading theory at the moment is that now I feel the world understands and accepts ADHD a lot more, I’m not only dropping the masks I show the world but possibly also the unconscious masking of my behaviour from myself.

I’m still trying to understand the ins and outs of it though hence the question in here. I just wish I hadn’t got distracted and added the random thought about dentists. It seems to have triggered a few people. Probably dentists 🤣

I feel exactly the same as you. I have ADHD so fluff is painful and pointless grind is just depressing. I thought the most obvious way to recommend my favourites would be to go by hours played, so here’s my top four:

My Time At Portia - 594hrs Hardspace Shipbreaker - 498hrs Kingdom Come Deliverance - 370hrs Just Cause 3 - 255hrs

Special mention too for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (164hrs) because that is one well made game in almost every respect. Very little fluff, grind and you’re always in control of how big a challenge you feel like facing. To my mind it makes all the other AC games look clunky and drab.

Also I hate difficulty spikes so much that whenever they happen and just seem to be there so the devs can grind a few more hours of playtime out of you for their analytics, I just reach for WeMod. Big shout out to WeMod in fact :) It’s made so many games I’d abandoned fun again.

I mean… just look at them… 😲 Is this the life that’s supposed to be the goal we should all be striving for? Look at those frozen, plastic faces. The soulless eyes. It’s like they’re just screaming silently inside. HOW IS ANY OF THIS A GOAL?!? This is why money frightens me.

What’s that Superman? Why yes, of course this is just bread.

(Dumb joke aside that does look delicious. Would love to see some toasted :) )

This looks completely bonkers and fun :)

I give up, you win.

You’ve misunderstood me (let’s just say “not deliberately” for a moment). What I’m saying is that regardless of what Google does in terms of long term plans or nuanced anything not all searches are equal. Neither you nor I can say at this point how this will shake out. Also, what have you eaten today? You know what you’re like when you don’t eat…

It might be harder than you think…

What kind of information are you talking about? Let’s be specific. The phone number for a garden center or how a rocket engine works? This won’t affect every search the same way. This is actually a fantastically complex question and we’ll only really see what happens when it does.

Broadly I would tend to agree but… there’s plenty of billionaires who give away billions. Rather than wait, just google it. It doesn’t mean they’re nice people but their money does good. There’s no getting around that.

I know that most wealthy people give money either as a performance for others or out of guilt but that’s still money given to people who need it. Personally I don’t care about their motives so long as their money actually helps.

As for somehow creating some kind of socialist utopia where billionaires don’t exist, you would be ignoring our entire history as a species. Sooner or later “some animals are more equal than others”. It sucks, particularly if you are the sort of person who has an abundance of empathy but there it is. Best we can do, I reckon, is look after the people in our immediate vicinity. If we all did that mind you then maybe things would get better but I’m not holding my breath.

This headline is so messed up. AI is making searching easier and more convenient and reducing the amount of clicks (often to zero) you need before you get the information you want. For people searching the web for information that’s a clear improvement. If you make your money from SEO then it sucks but if the headline was “Is Google about to decimate the SEO/PPC industry?” Then we’d be reacting in an entirely different way I imagine.

(Googles it…) Wow… “She claimed in her divorce plea that Sunjay forced her to sleep with his friends on their honeymoon. She also alleged that he asked his mother to slap her when she was pregnant.”

Scumbag confirmed.

The news: “He will be greatly missed not only by his family and friends but the local community around his club as he employed so many people and made so many friends — he was fun, kind and generous. He didn’t distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends — when he had a party, everyone was invited and everyone was equal.” He leaves behind a daughter and two young sons.

This forum: Didn’t read the article, don’t know anything about him but good on the bee. Yay death!

This is so accurate. I also get the feeling that the memory is removed even faster if I cared in any way about it.

So the goal is to become a Disney villain now?

I once read that people judge others by their actions and themselves by their intentions. I think about that a lot.

Laughs in Steadfast Defender 2024 🤣

This makes no sense unless Russian leadership is getting desperate (which they may well be I suppose). They’ve lost over a million people just trying to invade Ukraine. Opening up a second front with a well trained new enemy just seems unwise in the extreme. It would be like fighting a baby elephant and messing that up so deciding to fight the enraged elephant’s Mum as well.

Oh, a couple of nights ago I saw this YT short about how you can just scrunch up some tinfoil and rub it on your metal taps and shower heads and it removes all the limescale. Tried it immediately and it worked! However, then everything went blurry and in a fever dream state I cleaned my whole house till 3:30am…
