I’m ADD and I don’t think it’s a disorder, but a trait that was selected for. I think it’s an explorers gene.

It’s just difficult for us to fit in to the system. Not only school, but a traditional 9-5 for me is difficult. Especially while not on medication.

I definitely agree with this. I seriously suspect that I have ADD, and a burden has been lifted off my shoulders ever since I quit my 9-5 startup job and started travelling the North America a van + freelance coding.

Turn on, tune in, drop out

that's riskier

Kinda feels like that old life pro tip. Want to know the answer to something? Don’t ask a question, but make a false statement. Every expert in the field will rush to correct you and give you the most up to date and relevant information.

Also I'd like to point out that you incorrectly stated it was an "old life pro tip" instead of an "internet law". Anyways, here is the correct information for you.

Thanks for setting me straight. :)

As someone who is quite anxious about climate change, your comment has done the most to give me hope with regards to these rollbacks. To add, if this brings manufacturing back to USA, maybe also the factories will be less polluting/ghg emitting than the factories they are replacing overseas.
