Runaway as well, but without the mall.

They have a series on Gates too.

The answer to OPs question is that these people they admired were just as bad, just better at PR. Unless you think that social media has had some kind of positive effect in outing these newer bastards. Being young and naive may also have been a factor (which I can personally attest to since I was a fan of MS back in the 90s before I learned about them).

Dual booted for the longest time, until sometime last year. Windows partition is still there, but it’s been long enough that I’ve forgotten the password. 😳

But we’re not in the correct-information-only age. There’s a lot of noise to filter out, and most people aren’t trained well enough to do that (i.e. critical thinking). I think that we may need to address that issue before things improve significantly at the political level.

Weird, the link works for me. :/

Oh, I’ve certainly thought of alternate time-lines. Aspiring writer here. Trying to turn one of them into a novel (well, novel series lol), but you know, ADHD. So I could certainly talk at length about that.

Thanks. I’ve tried getting help. What few have accepted never seemed to have the time, or else they had too much trouble with the wiki paradigm? Idk. It’s been a struggle. Which is too bad since I tend to work better (i.e. more often) when others are involved.

Audhd here, so way too many interests to list (short list here: https://social.vivaldi.net/@Murdoc). But my biggest long-standing one is called Technocracy. Not how the word gets used most of the time today, but rather the proposed sustainable and post-scarcity economic system devised in the 1920s. Not only is it just interesting from being a novel and well-designed system, but it deals with so many important issues like poverty, environmentalism, sexism, racism, crime, and all in an objective, hard scientific way (i.e. not “political science”). All that science and progressivism (from 100 years ago too!) just delights my autistic brain no end. Here’s my attempt to make the topic more accessible to the modern audience: https://technate.org/tiki-index.php

I’d put starting projects at 🙂 provided I like them. Otherwise, spot on.

I believe it’s called internalized ablism. Adopting the belief structures of neurotypicals because for most of our lives we didn’t know that there was any other way. It’s a lot of work digging those roots out of there.

In my case, finishing them.

Worst zoltron villain ever.

Wait, so I have to make sure that I log in at least once every phase/tier and kill x monsters in order to complete the optional mission? I can’t find any information on this and the game itself is not clear.

Ah yes, the ol’ “promoted to the level of their incompetence”. SOP. Or SNAFU, take your pick.

That’s amusing, jenga on the moon.

Yes, I usually watch tv or a movie in bed and it also has to be something I’ve seen before so I’m not kept awake wanting to see what happens next. Also it has to be not too funny, not too sad, or make me just too happy to see, etc. Interesting enough for me to want to watch it at all, boring enough for me to fall asleep quickly. It can be tricky sometimes.

Except they don’t tell you that they did something different and you have to spend half an hour just figuring that out.

If they were fake ads like in GTA and Cyberpunk, it could be fun, provided you could turn them on and off anytime.

“The commonly-experienced difficulty in starting and stopping tasks, especially in neurodivergent individuals.”
"a few common traits :

• Transition challenges relating to difficulty with starting/stopping tasks
• Difficulty resuming activities after interruptions
• No control over actions despite desire
• Indecision, anxiety, or challenges with planning or starting tasks
• Time blindness
• Mind and body feeling separated
• Indifference over task urgency or task itself
• Motivation challenges
• Being able to focus on one thing for a long time easily once started (This can potentially be a major strength!)"
