  • What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy?

    Jump

  • People act like it's easy to get into and conceptualize fedi. I don't have a problem personally but I have a very rare level of IT comfort for my field and it leaves me feeling very lonely in spaces like this. I even had to take a tech competency credit for my degree (I tested out of it because it was basically a checkbox that asked if I knew how to type but-)

  • What's your addiction?

    Jump

  • My addiction ed for new techs that were hired with few to no actual psych qualifications is that they're almost definitely addicted to something and just happen to be lucky enough that it's legal. Common legal addictions:

    • nicotine
    • caffeine
    • gambling including microtransaction phone games
    • social media
    • pornography
    • processed sugar

  • Suicide should be a human right. You should have to prove that you're of sound mind and that you've considered and tried all other options. But once you've proven you're not manic, psychotic, intoxicated, being coerced, etc and no other option will reasonably bring you peace you should be able to do it and get help making sure you don't get stuck halfway or receive comfort care only until it's over. Also every psych unit I've worked requires suspension of a DNR which terrifies me for involuntary admits.

  • Telling people younger than me not to worry about things. Like even coworkers I only have like a decade on. No you sweet little child that's for us adults to deal with please wait off to the side and observe while I handle this bullshit.

  • hello Fediverse! how do neurodivergent peeps get jobs?

    Jump

  • Can’t recommend nursing for neurodivergence. Not in a “you’re not good enough” kinda way. I very much proved that I can. I had to learn a buuunch of new social and communication skills, and I did have to “prove” I could to my instructors and for about the first six months at any new job.

    You can absolutely be a nurse with neurodivergence. But whether it’s right or wrong, you’re going to have to put in some extra effort in areas you’re probably not used to. You should first consider whether or not that’s actually worth it to you. That part matters more than people admit.

    It also helps that I work psych. I’m doing a lot of communication with people more like me. But that also comes with the downside of a lot of that communication being them yelling at me and trying to hit me. They’re specifically the subset of neurodivergents with more trauma, or in a particularly bad place in their life, and often were never taught the emotional regulatory skills needed to solve problems without doing that (my sister certainly never learned them while we were growing up and I've got a permanent back injury to prove it).

    Again right or wrong matters very little there. Should someone have gone to the extra effort to teach them not to hit people in ways that they were able to fully engage with? Definitely. Do neurotypicals also sometimes miss learning that skillset? Sure, but it happens less often because more childcare services are designed to teach them those skills than neurodivergent children. Still leaves me dodging punches from auDHD peeps at the end of the day.

  • Most people are good. Most people forget to be kind to others sometimes.

    Some people forget to be kind to others more. I kinda don't like that.

    Some people need to cause others discomfort to feel like they are in control of their lives. I dislike that.

    Some people feel that they have the right to or even should cause others discomfort because they have some kind of birthright granted by their religion, how aggressive their ancestors were, or some perception that they've worked harder than others. I feel that such people should either be rigorously reeducated or in some way removed from access to other humans entirely.

  • Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube? And how?

    Jump

  • Same. It took me a little longer but it makes such a nice fidget for lectures / meetings. The procedurality of it is almost soothing.

  • If real life loaded like a video game did, what would the loading screen tips be?

    Jump

  • REM sleep.

  • How many people actually know their cat's birthday? I wrote mines down on the vet paperwork as Valentine's because it was September and they said she was probably about 8 months old.
