Have you seen a psychiatrist or were you talking to a GP? I got diagnosed with ADHD 3 different times in a 15 year period without a problem. Only stuck with the meds the last time about 4 years ago, and it was a game changer.
In the grand scheme of things I don't think Jon Stewart wouldn't be that different from Gavin Newsome as president. I'd prefer Stewart 100x more than Newsome, just on a personality level, but the direction of the office would be pretty much the same. Newsome is a slimeball but he's not the worst Dem option on the progressiveness & electable matrix. I'm pretty sure Stewert isn't to far from Newsome on the spectrum overall. I'd much rather have AOC personally. I think she's far to the left of either Jon and Newsome.
I'm not hot. I'm not ugly, but also not hot and had plenty of dates from dating apps when I was on them.
Good job, not a slob, decent bio, and quality photos of myself.
I was also really selective in who I swiped on. I didn't swipe right on every hot chick. I swiped right on girls I found attractive and best guess from profile lifestyles were similar.
I went out with plenty of attractive women, hooked up with a handful and dated a few. I also went out on plenty of bad dates, the girl who carried a dead lizard she found on the ground. The autistic racist. The girl with gnarly teeth.
We have a no baby shark rule, my daughter hasn't latched onto it yet. Whenever it comes on Spotify skip it but sometimes I start singing along before I realize what I'm doing.
I put it on for myself(42) the other day it took all my will to not turn it off 3 mins in, I broke by 25 mins and turned it off. I then mocked my buddy who said it wasn't bad(he has 2 boys in prime Minecraft movie age).
I have an 18 month old girl with another on the way, not looking forward to whatever her equivalent frozen/Minecraft movie is. But I have also sung more wheels on the bus than I can stand.
If they weren't ascending at the right speed it was a motor failure. The hull was fiberglass it can't deform, it can get cracks and hold or fail. The scary stuff leading up to failure would be loud sounds coming from the hull.
Yeah no shit but I'd rather vote for slow progress than deal with the rapid decline of social and economic freedom under Republican rule. Railing against Democrats like Newsome especially after primaries happen is fucking foolish.
I'm not abandoning my convictions, I'll vote for the Democrat I think most aligns with my beliefs in the primary which I'm hoping is AOC. If my candidate doesn't win I will vote for the person I think is better to run the country(just a wild guess but it won't be the Republican candidate). The green party/Jil Stein doesn't interest me at all.
If Gavin Newsome is the Democratic candidate, he will be the only viable voting choice. I'd only be abandoning my convictions if I didn't vote, or voted for an option that has zero chance of winning.
Voting for a candidate that won't possibly win is not a viable choice. It improves the odds of the person who is counter to all my convictions winning instead of 1/2 of them.
I'm not saying that the DNC isn't wrong about their approach to getting voters, but the worst option is for them to back a candidate like Newsome without the charisma aka Kamala Harris.
If Kamala was running with Bernie's platform she probably wins a close race. If Newsome ran on Bernie's platform it's probably a landslide. Him running kamala's platform it's probably a narrow victory. I think AOC would win by less than Newsome if they were both running her platform, because misogyny, but still wins pretty big overall in the general.
It's called pragmatism. Democrats might not be great as a whole but at least their policies generally trend in the right direction and things slowly get better with Democrats like him vs a rapid decline when Republicans get control. I'm not willing to burn it all down, if the other choice is slow improvement. I think he's a true politician, which I find a distasteful trait, but mostly he's been a decent governor and it's really been his rhetoric lately, trying to appeal to the right, I really don't like about him. I have young children. I can't torch my life being radical, even if I generally lean to the far left of the spectrum.
He's 100% the DNC guy, he'll probably have signs that say it's his turn. Only semi good thing is he'll have a much better chance of winning than Hillary or Kamala had. AOC is the best choice and has the best chance of winning imo. Gavin is probably the 2nd best choice(electability-wise).
