The birds in my back yard really seem to love a bath! More so than I do at any rate :)

Ironically, it was pretty much the opposite of my experience. My diagnosis was the first time I've ever felt fundamentally broken in a way that can't be fixed, because I'd spent my life believing that if I got serious about it, I could do the things. It made me realise that it doesn't matter how serious I get, it's not going away.

But with time, even though that's still true, the scale to which I was catastrophying it was over blown.

Wow, that's huge!

In the case of ADHD at least, it comes with a lifetime of being told that you're not trying hard enough, that you could do so much more if you just applied yourself, that it's your fault that you're distracted etc. And after a lifetime of internalising those sorts of comments, many folk find relief in knowing that actually, there's a reason for all of it, and it's not just that they're lazy.

Immich can search by star rating, but you need to enable the feature as it's not enabled by default. Go to Account Settings / Features / Star Rating.

After that, it appears in your search options/filters

My kid was 11 when I came out, so I'd already gone down the path of being a parent. I always knew I wanted kids though. But the second I could drop the "dad" title, I did. Before I transitioned, I didn't hate it, but I didn't celebrate it or connect with it either. It was just a word. But once I started to accept myself, it got more and more uncomfortable.

Ironically, after I came out to everyone, I didn't connect with "mum" anymore than I used to connect with "dad". It was a better fit than dad ever was, but I never felt a strong connection to it.

These days, my kid is 20, and it's pretty much all in the past. They call me Ada :)

How do they expect people who are suspected of having ADHD to do all this paperwork

They don't...

Adult ADHD is something the system would rather not think about or acknowledge. So there are barriers in the way towards formal diagnosis.

I don't need the instances (we host pretty much the same ones), but I'll be joining a lot of those communities!

It most likely won't have VR support, which means I won't even bother...

Seems like you can’t download a image without getting it on a terrible quality anymore.

I'm a little confused as to what you mean by this?

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I find the things all the time, so I’m definately missing a lot. That’s not really what I’m talking about though.

Which makes your question "Why do a specific subset of criminal folk, that I've defined as looking and acting in a specific fashion, look and act in a similar fashion?"

There is no link to the content, or the modlog in your post, just a link to another community where you also posted this...

Mount Coonowrin is one of the Glasshouse mountains, and like the others in the range, the peak of the mountain is a solidified volcanic plug, all that remains of an ancient, now eroded volcano

This pier used to extend over a kilometer from the shore, to reach deep water vessels to allow for the transport of sugarcane.

Now however, it reaches a "mere" 800 meters
