It's a bit of both, I believe the man himself is more invested in his own vanity than the white nationalist agenda. However, don't underestimate the people around him. They are evil not stupid.

Detaining people isn't free either, we also paid to keep them here longer. The whole thing is immensely stupid.

I like the "needs of all" messaging, it combats polarization. Ultimately we are all human and should have basic rights: food, housing, healthcare, expression

Your array sounds pretty average to be fair

This is point for point the conversation I had with my partner as well. I wish it wasn't like this, but here we are.

A lot of the anti-car sentiment comes from urban, or European communities where population is a lot more dense.

Rural America will be the absolute lowest priority, because there are fewer people spread farther out. Anyone who wants to make someone feel bad about that is just a dick.

Who looks at this world and wants to bring life into it? I fundamentally cannot wrap my head arround that.

This is the main benefit. However, i'm finding the software I use requires less dependencies and libraries these days.

I barely even use flatpaks anymore. Almost everything is in official repos. I couldn't tell you the last time I had a dependency conflict.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. From my experience there is no perfect solution, routines take time and effort to develop. You can put energy into developing routine, wake up one morning and find it doesn't work anymore. It's like trying to hit a constantly moving target.

My commentary is about the image. I view it as promoting acceptance of behaviors that are unhealthy. I resent the implication that I'm helpless to my impulses, when I have worked so hard to control them.

Not trying to invalidate anyone's experience, just sharing mine

Thanks for being sincere, I totally see your perspective. However, as someone who struggles with all the behaviors in the image. I'm also allowed to simply not like the image and its sentiment.

Saying there are things you can do to control impulses, does not trivialize the effort needed. Will these things be successful for everyone? Nope.

I feel that the image communicates acceptance, and I'm entitled to simply not liking that sentiment.

Genuinely sorry if you felt hurt by this perspective

Edit: words

I'm sorry my words came across as condescending. My experiences and views are my own.

My view is that this image gives license to acceptance of unhealthy coping mechanisms. I believe there are ways to curb these impulses, however people with ADHD will always have to work harder at that.

Yes, people with ADHD all experience things differently. My experiences don't invalidate the experiences of others.
