Thanks! I understood the quote in itself, but the OP quoting it with no additional context could have had two connotations: one nefarious (don't bother with this article because it was written by a trans person with an agenda) or one of positivity (Linux wouldn't be where it is now without trans people). I always hope for the latter, but context and mood are impossible to communicate easily online which is why I was…

There’s a lot of value in selecting the best faith interpretation and then replying in that context; for those silent readers who might be confused, it helps clear up their confusion to the disfavor of any underhandedness — which is then forced to either identify itself plainly (and promptly get flagged) or lose the battle and move on.

That's good advice.

Yeah, no way there’s any evolutionary fitness to having a brain that only works on problems it finds worthwhile. /s

Ideally, society would be aware of such people and actually use their potential. AR struck it lucky and so did a few others (cough Richard Stallman cough), but most don't and end up burned out by rigid megacorp structures and processes that don't respect that people, even those one might call "neurotypical", aren't cogs in a machine. I've said it before and I will keep saying it again: the financialization of everyth…

Yup.

And now that tech is flooded with people, it's gonna be easy to just not deal with the troublesome "weird" people, and instead go with those who are happy to go thru all the bureaucracy and 10 stage interviews

Sounds like ADD to me. Easy to be labeled as "Lazy" etc.

ADD is an old term -> ADHD. Nvm. I wouldn't be so quick to judge someone for ADHD. Because I have it, untreated. And I couldn't even finish university because of it. I'm unable to do certain things, like at all, I'm nearly physically ill when doing these things. Hard to explain it, to someone without these problems :) Luckily enough, it's not that important here / Idc about money, career etc.

Alright. ADHD-PI, that's simpler.

I have ADHD-PI or whatever (diagnosed). I know the struggle. it's a life long battle that never ends.

Hang in there
