Either I have ADHD, or humans weren’t meant to do the same job with the same tasks for years at a time

Derailments arent just flying off the rails and destroying a town, it could just be a misalignment

Who hurt you?

Didn’t know that there were other options besides straight, gay, and bi. When I didn’t fall cleanly in one of those, I considered what other options were there. I was always unsure, but i went in a wrong direction full of guilt and depression, thinking if im not those, the only other option is…the worst. We don’t know what we don’t know.

I never met an asexual, or a demisexual, or any other sexuality, up to this point. I may have heard the term asexual, but it was never described to me in a way that I could relate. It wasn’t until after RE-WATCHING Bojack Horseman that I actually did thorough research on the topic, and all the stars aligned. The first time watching, it just didn’t click, I knew there was an asexual character, but I didn’t connect that i could be asexual.

I went 25 years not knowing I could be asexual. I’m 30 now. I only wish there was more representation as I grew up, but once I found out, I became the change I wanted to see, and started expressing it in my clothing, sharing with others, and helping clear up confusion.

Or you’re like me and think you’re a pedophile because you don’t like men or women sexually. I’m just asexual. Thanks therapy!

I’ve updated the post to reflect this.

Maybe not by definition, but in terms of operations, yes. If it wasn’t operated like a private company, it wouldn’t need a union.

And guess what union is probably the largest in the US?

National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC)

The DMV isn’t federal, it’s at the state level. Some states have private licensing companies.

Many “government” entities in the US are private for-profit companies: Postal Service, vehicle licensing, electric companies, water companies, which control the very infrastructure of everyday life.

Capitalism.

The strategy is to get you onto a different platform to make instant messaging easier. They are just “advertising” on Lemmy.

Once you’re on a chat platform, they will likely attempt the “Romance Baiting” (formerly “Pig Butchering”) scam: make the target fall in love, then persuade them to send money for things like “travel expenses” or “family medical bills”. Also involves buying crypto.

It’s not a good idea to send them pictures of your face. They can use it for identity theft.

That…seems like a language i could learn, and could probably be taught in schools as a second language.

I feel like the only reason we use English as much as we do is tradition. Time to break tradition.

How to avoid getting scammed:

• DO NOT SEND MONEY
• DO NOT ACCEPT MONEY OR CHECKS
• DO NOT GIVE CREDIT CARD DETAILS
• DO NOT OPEN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WHILE SOMEONE IS CONNECTED TO YOUR DEVICE
• CALL THE INSTITUTION THAT THE OTHER CLAIMS TO BE AND VERIFY THE INFORMATION THEY PROVIDED
• DO NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING YOU KNOW IS STOLEN OR ILLEGAL TO PURCHASE
• BE AWARE OF COMMON SCAM SCRIPTS AND TACTICS
• IF YOU FALL IN LOVE ONLINE, MEET THEM IN PERSON
• DO. NOT. SEND. THEM. MONEY.
