That’s also technology. Used for good and evil.

Probably anything they can label as “against christian values.” To keep it as vague as possible.

South Korea allows women to be fired if they 1) want, or 2) have children.

As someone who has been a teenager. Cheating is easy, and class wasn’t as fun as video games. Plus, what teenager understands the importance of an assignment? Of the skill it is supposed to make them practice?

That said, I unlearned to copy summaries when I heard I had to talk about the books I “read” as part of the final exams in high school. The examinor would ask very specific plot questions often not included in online summaries people posted… unless those summaries were too long to read. We had no other option but to take it seriously.

As long as there isn’t something that GPT can’t do the work for, they won’t learn how to write/do the assignment.

Perhaps use GPT to fail assignments? If GPT comes up with the same subject and writing style/quality, subract points/give 0s.

I’m sure artificially lowering female med student’s grades to increase drop-outs amoung women will help with the financial stability and job security needed to raise a child!

Yup. The bible belt in the netherlands was a great contributor to the study of epidemics. Measles outbreaks are very consistent. Every 10 years an outbreak occurs there.

Yup… it’s all about picking it up. Preferably before the moment you start to lose it. Good news. Even if you lose it, you can pick it back up!

The meditation that I liked were the ones that practiced mindfully shifting your attention.

The first one was using a specific type of mandala made of harsh contrasting colours and projecting the image on your mental vision. Interestingly, its clarity would fade if you focussed too hard, or too little. Practicing the ‘sweet spot.’

Another was generating thoughts. Letting your mind make stuff. The point was to become aware of the thoughts appearing up. I noticed in this one that the first minutes worth of thoughts were usually garbage. After that, my mind generated stuff that I thought was useful. Like remembering to plan that dental appointment…

This practice was followed by practicing to redirect your attention every few seconds on purpose. Which teaches you how to redirect your attention from your thoughts, into where you want to go.

Ofc, meditation is nice, but the goal is to put that stuff into practice. I found it helped getting myself to do what I want to do, but couldn’t get myself to. Like studying or cleaning.

My tip is, choose 1 low-level and practice that. I started in the morning for 5 to 10min, and tried to apply the lesson throughout the day to make it useful. I did that for 1 to 2 weeks before going to the next step of the meditation. That was hard enough! xD

Solid advice! Thanks

Yup. I found that “taking the mind out on walkies” offers space for the mental storm to calm down a bit. Doesn’t do shit for focus, but takes away stress.

That’s amazing!

Yeah. Same here. Even my test results showed signs of overcompensation. I got most stuff correct in time, but my impulsivity (and gaming addiction) shined through. It was stressful as hell and I tried my best. Then took the test again on meds and 1) it wasn’t stressful, I was zen! 2) I was far less impulsive. xD

Not it’s not. You are right. It takes a lot longer to learn those habits and apply it in a useful way. It’s taken me ~9 years and of taking it more seriously. I still f up from time to time. Just not nearly as much as when I started trying to get my shit together. (Even my test results showed overcompensation in my attention problem lol)

You still need to develop those skills on meds. Which takes practice. Meds make it easier to practice.

I think a lot of people on these communities are at a point of discovery and realization. That there is a big factor (ADHD) causing their struggles in life. That they are not “just lazy and undisciplined.” A phase that can look like self-victimization and excuses.

Thing that worked well for me btw, is the ADHD guide on HealthyGamerGG. The name sounds stupid, but it’s the online name of a psychiatrist with experience with ADHD patients, and he takes a hollistic approach. I usually despise every form of spirituality, but he managed to filter out the “woo woo” (as he calls it) and stick to the practical aspects of meditation and how the mind works. Helped me understand my issues and how to handle them better.

Except there is scientific evidence that women are held to higher standards. You’re the delusional one here.

What are you talking about?

You didn’t read my comment, did you? I mentioned in my comment, that society holds girls and women to higher standards, and it’s effects on performance. Which is the opposite of pandering.

Well that’s the most delusional thing I’ve heard in a while.

Did you know that women’s brains develop faster? Different sources say different years, but it seems to lie between 1 to 5 years on average depending on what age you look at.

Estrogens stimulate development of the frontal lobe. Executive functions, risk-assesment and empathy to name a few tasks it does. Which plays a role in why girls with a developmental disorder, are often able to compensate enough (masking) to keep up with their peers, or even be in the top of the class. Boys on the other hand are less lucky, and their grades are affected more clearly by the same disorders. ASD, AD(H)D, dyslexia/dyscalculi to name a few. Interestingly, hyperlexia is almost only seen in girls. While it is a developmental disorder, it often works in their favor in school settings. Estrogens appear to play a role in language development.

Estrogens also improve memory and learning. It’s why women have a better memory than men on average, and why they are outperforming men academically on average. Yes, women will remember everything you said to them. For good and bad purposes.

Estrogens also play a role in social development. Which is why girls often prefer playing with toys that have a face on it, and integrate social feedback more often. Part of the reason girls are held to higher standards, which results in girls working harder in school, and suffering more often from performance/achievement related stress.

If anyone has a child’s brain at 30, it’s you mate.

That should help a bit. Make sure to drag your ass on the carpet for extra warmth.

Lies! Deception! I’ve met a void too dumb to understand commands! Your experience is clearly false!

She got her head stuck in a can she fished from the trash. Lucky we found her on time. We made sure to weigh down the lid with a rock after that.

I don’t speak any Spanish, but am able to guess and discern Esperanto due to its simplicity. It’s a dope and easy language.
