Is this true? I thought they did away with the “ADD” label altogether, and it’s all just under the “ADHD” umbrella.

Yes. That’s what I mean. They really should drop the H in ADHD and make it ADD(-I/C/H), but ADHD is more popular because of ADD-C being the most common ADD.
I have ADD-I.

And if you didn’t know, the debate has been by commies and commie-symphathizers like me that

• Orwell was a Trotsky-fanboy
• Orwell was not warning about totalitarianism, he simply did not like Stalin because Stalinists attacked Trotskyists during the Spanish civil war that Orwell was fighting in and he got targeted.
• Orwell’s books have been used by the CIA as propaganda. The CIA somehow turned these books into bestsellers!?
• Trotsky is bad
  • because he was in favor of permanent revolution, whatever that is.
  • and because he was against ‘socialism in one country’ (which cannot be called national socialism as some fascist already took that name) that Stalinists were in favor of.

And to be honest. For the last point I do as well, just for the fact that I like seeing alternative cultures taking routes that might work better or have qualities that the other one doesn’t, especially when the “we-all-living-in-the-one-culture” turns predictably fascist dictatorial.

And I’ve seen comments saying that Orwell was a racist and some other things, but I’ll have to look that up again.

I think the more important pressing question is why Trotsky and Trotskyists have been so much vilified by Stalinists and why Orwell thought Trotsky was the man of freedom and liberation and not Stalin despite both being socialists.

Is there more than just Orwell hating Stalin on a personal level?

Is there more to it than just Trotsky wanting to fasttrack the road to communism that is argued by other communists that “socialism goes first and then communism will naturally happen somewhere in the far future as Marx intended and is not a goal to persue whereas socialism is” to paraphrase the leader of MAGA communism, to which I don’t know if this shared by other communists. MAGA communists are a bit of a weird bunch, considered similar to Trotskyists by lemmygrad.
Also, not sure if MAGA communists still call themselves that considering what’s been happening the past six months.

I took LTO-3 food supplements against ADHD. ADD is thought to be the same mental disorder but with different symptoms, so it worked on me as well, except temporarily, only for teo weeks. Perhaps due to my type of autism of which the types of autism really haven’t been distinguished yet.

So if you take LTO-3 and you notice vast differences in your own behavior, then you have ADD/ADHD.

Here’s what I noticed:

• Vastly less trouble following group conversations.
• No looking down automatically when walking.
• No more lazy body swaying due to low energy.
• Much easier switching to a new task
• Much easier starting a new task
• Less ‘mind weight’ making it…
  • Easier to talk
  • Easier to pay attention at board games
• Having energy left after 8 hours of work instead of crashing down.

• George Orwell
  • animal farm
  • 1984

++++

• Leon Trotsky’s
  • “The Permanent Revolution and Results and Prospects”.

And perhaps additionally:

• My life
• The Revolution Betrayed
• The Spanish Revolution, 1931–1939
• Stalin: An Appraisal of the Man and His Influence

++++

• Joseph Stalin
  • “History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks)”

And perhaps additionally:

• Marxism and the national question

Hopefully you can then school everyone, including me, on Trotsky vs Stalin when talking about Orwell’s famous books.

It’s all unfair until you realize that most epidemics start with sick farm animals that come in contact with humans.

Whatsapp, reddit and youtube.
The rest I can do without.

My ADD is far worse than I thought and I should have noticed that decades ago.

To answer Pete Buttigeg:

That’s the point! We’re not Benjamin Netanyahu who enjoys targeting everyone but soldiers and police officers.

You know those Russian soldiers dropped their weapons during the October revolution.
If American soldoers are wise, they’d do the same.

Whether it’s a joke or not, my opinions on this issue is too strong for me to not ask this out loud. What makes stone faced women still hot?
Jeri Ryan from Star Trek Voyager is another one.

The best thing about the cartoon was Optimus Prime being ‘best tv dad’, megatron/galvatron’s evil laugh and speeches, soundwave’s voice, starscream scheming, starscream being killed off for being a whiny backstabber too many times, the art, the touch and the fact that all of the supporting cast that were good in their own right.

By absolute bore I also include her looks. I understand she is supposed to be pretty, but stone-faced is not my thing. Even with her licking-lip image I imagine her eyes staring at the latest gucci dress laced with diamonds or maybe even Bumblebee, but not a man.

Right. I would not call it unprovoked, but the full scale bombardment is all to support Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

1. You can leave out the ‘puppet’ in your statement, but keep Russian. Again, Ukraine is half-Russian, half-Polish. To say that a Ukrainian president is a puppet of either country is like saying that an Australian president is a British puppet, with the difference being that Australia is a settler colony while Ukraine is/was a border dispute solution.

2. Yanukovich walked away from the deal because the EU made too many demands that would have resulted in millions of job losses. It was a bad trade deal and so he walked away from it hoping for renegotiations of a deal that would not completely ruin his country.

3. “cracked down”. What does that even mean? Who gets to decide a protest has been “cracked down”? Has anybody ever written about protests being “cracked down” during the Palestine liberation protests? Covid protests? Jan 6 2020 protests?

4. The insurgency, let’s just use the teminology used when it happens in an Anglo nation shall we?, consisted of terrorist attacks by snipers that shot Ukrainian police officers dead and civilian protesters, who wanted their country to go into financial ruin, dead.
   People that have come forward saying they were the instigators of this violence were neither part of the Ukrainian law enforcement, nor part of the protest groups, but foreign mercenaries who got paid or part of ultra-right factions. It’s a more believable story than what the other side claims, where police officers who are trained to uphold stability mow down their own colleagues and civilians for stability’s sake without refusal. It’s more believable as the first story doesn’t have snipers shooting their own snipers dead just to create chaos. That wouldn’t make any sense. People do not tend to kill people of their own group, not just because those are their friends they can rely on, but also puts them in an extremely vulnerable paranoid position of themselves being next. How would you know when to stop? How would you know you’re not on the list? Would you be killed from orders of their higher ups? Collaegues out for revenge of their friends?

5. And all of this doesn’t change the fact that Ukraine was banning all things related Russia after the coup and mowing down indepedence voters at the ballot station in the Donbass region.

I saw the Siskel and Ebert review and I agree with their point that there was a lack of awe in the movie that E.T. and close encounters of the third kind had.

This movie had dinosaurs being dangerous at almost all times. Only a moment after they awed a stampede was heading for them. The danger felt convoluted. Tacked in. And it would have been a good time to question the old man about park safety.

The old man never get punished for his reckless behavior. I don’t get why my downvoters would disagree with me. Would you downvoters really have acted so calmly against the old man when the park goes haywire?

It didn’t. I managed to stay until one of the autobots had to take a leak. I was too insulted at that point. Megan Fox came across as an absolute bore, but of course the guy has to stammer and stumble and try to impress the dead weight.

I had no idea I was hosting Vibecon, but I registered regardless.

Jurassic park

First movie I saw in theaters that disappointed me. Too much dinosaurs running around trying to kill everyone without standing still and asking why this is happening.
A quick jab towards the old man that the park is not considered ready for opening yet is not enough, or that he’s packaging stuff?
The Goldblum character’s logic failed to intrigue me. He would have been much better to ask the old man questions about park safety and genetic engineering safety that could be scrutinized instead of full on attacking him about commercialization.
It made the kids more interesting than the adults.
I forgot what the relationships between the two main characters and the children were, but I believe they were divorced and the kids were theirs?
At the very least they should have had some character development. Have them both end up with new partners or something and show what makes the new pairs better than the old one.

Disagree. The first two sequels kept making a defeated bad empire stronger and stronger without any explanation. The rebels then suddenly became just 400 to 20 people. A different type of journey would have been welcomed with open arms if clever enough.
And I think embracing the jedi, but killing the wars aspect, rather than trying to destroy the jedi but keeping the wars it would have been a much better answer to the franchise.

The live action transformers movies.
Although I almost never think about it.
And I only saw the first thirty minutes of the first movie.

If there’s no term for it, I’m gonna call it Blairspeak, named after Eric Blair.
