We could workshop it, but if you’re bad at something, never do it for free

Glad to hear it. You know what they say, you miss 100% of the shots you take

This is the funniest thing that’s ever happened to me on Lemmy, thanks

It’s dick jokes on the internet, bub. Do you get mad at individual raindrops too?

They thought Bluey was too woke and made “Chip Chilla”, which turns out to just be the same shit but uncreative, soulless, and blatantly agenda-driven. It turns out even treating kids as having agency and inherent value as people is too woke.

The trick is that if you made a good game, then in ten years idiots will point to your highly political game as being from the time when games weren’t woke.

I’ve made my omelette, now I’ve got to sleep in it. If you lead a horse to water, you can make it fish.

Okay, asked and answered. I wasn’t asking with intent to sealion here, and in fairness perhaps I should have posed this question to the top comment. There’s a lot of nuance missing from them simply calling disabled people selfish for breeding. I wouldn’t have even bothered probably, but this other fellow was conflating your view with the idea that it’s the same kind of selfishness to have kids at all given the state of the world, which begins to sound deeply nihilistic. In my defense I was at pains to ask in the least accusatory way I could think of, giving them the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for taking the time to make sense on their behalf.

This view differs from simple eugenics? I don’t yet see how.

Tories have been loyal to moneyed interests since time immemorial, and they’re going to be thrown aside like a crunchy skeet blanket because billionaires want someone more controllable. Sucks to suck

I did say it was a shitty, distantly earned degree - the proviso stands.

It’s not the first I’ve heard of professionals hating the DSM, the whole of scientific thought exists within capitalism and so its tendencies can’t ever be entirely free of capitalistic slant. Being critical minded and well educated (as you appear to be, if I may say so) is perhaps the best we can do.

Baboon goggles is the word for that

Would not have guessed it takes them that long

This almost gave me conniptions

Aww the doggy is finally realizing their human is stupid 🥹

ADHD is, as I understand it with my shitty, distantly earned BS in psychology, congenital and not acquired. You can’t just “catch” ADHD, your brain was born with a neurochemical issue - not that I understand neuroscience well, but the dopamine isn’t doing its job of keeping your thoughts on target, hence why only immediately rewarding things seem to be possible sometimes.

There are a lot more diagnoses of late, but I’ve read that part of it is the war on drugs making the Rx systematically scarce so it’s just easier to blame people for seeking care rather than addressing the systemic issues. Sort of akin to blaming the consumer for climate change.

TikTok is probably not helping, and it is easy to become addicted. This is a separate matter however.
