"[...] despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours."

So he's not being given his full prescribed amount? WTF. Give it to him.

I don't really care if this guy is trying to use ADHD as an excuse for his crimes or not. I DO NOT want judges and lawyers deciding if I really need my prescribed meds or if maybe I can get by on half. I would call that a human rights violation.

Just give him his damn prescribed meds. Full stop. His ADHD is then off the table as a possible excuse.

One brother doesn't share or give up decision making well. The roles are intended to be project manager rather than dictator; the person is still expected to solicit opinions and delegate tasks to others. He gets frustrated really quickly when he doesn't get his way entirely and will get to a point where he doesn't hear other people's perfectly reasonable views.

But it's been this way forever, it's his personality. He knows it. A few of us are pretty good at calling attention to his behavior in a way that he doesn't feel attacked by and he'll chill out. One just goes toe to toe more aggressively with him and that tactic works sometimes too.

My family has rules and positions we vote on. We're all adults out of the parents' house. We collaborate on a lot of projects and travel together in different combinations; the rules, or guidelines really, make us more efficient.

I am often travel coordinator for joint trips. Someone else handles food coordination specifically. The youngest calls meetings, usually on a quarterly to yearly cadence, and publishes the meeting notes to a shared cloud drive. Another is in charge of coordinating a Christmas gift exchange. We've rotated being financial and medical backup/adviser to the parents and those roles also comes with responsibility to update the other siblings on major changes.

Uh, does the Democratic party have any incentive to form a coalition with them? Just continue abstaining and let the Republicans continue to implode from a situation of their own making.

Well, some HR person I've never met just chatted me "we need to talk, I'm calling your phone" with no context. We had layoffs three weeks ago. My heart rate went through the roof. She just wanted to remind me it's enrollment time and to pick my insurance and other benefits for next year.

I'm thinking about slashing her car tires and taking a dump on her front porch as a "prank" in return.

1. If it's available digitally from one of the many libraries I belong to, that's easier. I prefer it to Audible even.

2. If not available by library, I can't recall the last time I wasn't able to find it through some alternative means.

Insert Pirates of the Caribbean meme about being, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever seen.

It means his segment was more nuanced than I expected. It's not "homeschooled = religious weirdos with no social skills".

It's rare to run into people who know what HSLDA is, and have an understanding of how different laws in each state create different environments for homeschooling.

Far from the worst overview of homeschooling in the US I've seen.

0% surprised by this.

Well, this is terrifying. I read several paragraphs hoping they weren't talking about my country; no such relief.

briefly forgot men have eyelashes too and got excited

I never understood reddit as a dating site. And the problems there are only amplified on Lemmy.

1. user density in the geographic region I would date within. With reddit, at least I was quite sure there were other users within an hours drive of me

2. it's not a dating site and not set up with the guardrails needed to make it even marginally safe. If a person on Bumble starts being scary, there are some ways to report then and they will possibly be removed or restricted from the platform. On reddit and Lemmy, the responses will be one of the following "free speech, get wrecked", "if you don't want to be abused/harassed, you shouldn't go into public spaces", or "you signed up for the site, you asked for it", or "give them a chance, they are probably just not good at dating skills" or even Andrew Tate acolyte bullshit that I don't want to think about.

3. distribution of gender and of sexual orientation across the platform. I would be surprised if Lemmy userbase is less than 95% men. Unless those men are gay/bi at an improbably high rate, there aren't going to be many people available to match with.

4. "everyone have a good time, we're here for love" says the hordes of people who are actually here to waste time with no intention to actually date, cruise for nudes, or to data mine peoples personal information.

Tl;Dr if actual dating apps are not bringing a person dating success, nothing about Lemmy will be any better.
