@aeva @Farbs @lritter i think aeva's proposal regarding the leisure class over traditional employment can be viewed as a description of the drastic changes not just to the self but implicitly to society that would be required to meaningfully overcome and indeed avoid producing the mental failure modes which currently necessitate medication
@hipsterelectron @Farbs @lritter oh yeah like if society changed to have a real safety net, a culture of unconditional mutualism love and support, and space for everyone to be the master of their own lives, that would be fine too, but I think it's more likely that I'll get a blank check mcarthur genious grant in the mail despite not having an in with the harvard legacy old boy's club or having an advanced degree or any significant accomplishments
-
@Farbs @lritter @hipsterelectron but yes, this is a life saving drug for me, and if it were cruelly taken away and I was told that instead I would be cured if I were to simply find a better environment (or simply applied myself more or any other absurd suggestion I've heard many times before in the past 30 or 40 years of my life), great hardship would follow for me and it would not be my fault
@aeva @Farbs @hipsterelectron yes. i get that. but this was not my thought experiment at all.
-
@Farbs @lritter @hipsterelectron because I tried to make it work without it and I have a lot of experimental evidence to show it is very hard for me to hold traditional employment without my meds. It takes about a year for me to get fired when trying my absolute hardest to make it all work out. That's my entire career over and over again before I got proper treatment.
@aeva @Farbs @hipsterelectron see, we gotta get rid of employment and the concept of careers. this is what i'm after.
-
@Farbs @lritter @hipsterelectron now I will readily admit there is one thing I have not tried that may also work wonders. If someone where to provide me enough unconditional funding that I could join the leisure class and have the privilege of not having to engage in traditional employment to provide for my family, and I were to be provided with an assistant to navigate the bureaucratic cruelty of the medical system,
@aeva @Farbs @hipsterelectron this, but for everyone.
-
@Farbs @lritter @hipsterelectron then I suspect in that exact environment it is possible that I could experience good mental health for the first time in my adult life without the aid of any medication, however I would not place a great deal of confidence in my ability to be anything resembling productive in that situation.
At any rate, the opportunity has successfully eluded me entirely so far.
@aeva @Farbs @hipsterelectron considering what employers consider productive, it is not a great loss not to be. ;-)
-
@hipsterelectron @aeva ok. so.. there is no way to be even more whole through mixed use. it's this drug or death?
@lritter @hipsterelectron @aeva
also just personal anecdata, not generalizing, everyone's different:
with an anxiety disorder plus adhd, the anxiety makes you perform too, in sprints, using your own adrenaline (it's kinda shit though and you burn out after a few decades because you're always running on dread ... I know from a good friend)
and expectations to perform consistently (instead of in bursts) still put you into a shame spiral
so meds are a good thing

@mmby @lritter @hipsterelectron yeah and also stress is way worse for your health than stimulants ask me how i know

@aeva @mmby @hipsterelectron i would be the last one to say drugs are bad. but i wonder about the greater picture.
for example, i know someone who's very anxious. they also have a heart insufficiency. it is obvious that the anxious tuning has co-developed to keep the heart pumping strong enough. it's a fix. you make this person relax, and you technically impact their vascular health negatively.

@lritter @Farbs @hipsterelectron i'm down as long as i'm still allowed to have amphetamines

@lritter @Farbs @hipsterelectron i'm down as long as i'm still allowed to have amphetamines
@aeva @Farbs @hipsterelectron amphetamines for everyone, in fact.
legalization of MDMA is in the works for years and long overdue. with this administration tho...

Il Consiglio nazionale forense organizza una messa alla basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano a Roma. Anche l’organismo che rappresenta l’avvocatura ignora il principio di laicità dello Stato, denuncia il referente trentino dell'Uaar Alessandro Giacomini.👇

@mte90 Ricordo che su Mastodon, l'algoritmo c'è ed è un algoritmo cronologico determinato dai follower, dai follower dei follower e dalle loro ricondivisioni.
A questo si sono aggiunte le quattro sezioni con un algoritmo legato al numero di ricondivisioni, preferenze e un tocco di personalizzazione da parte dell'amministratore. Si possono vedere:
le tendenze con i post,gli hashtag,i profili più (attivi e consigliati](https://poliversity.it/explore/suggestions) le notizie più ricondivise con l'indicazione di chi le ha ricondivise.Naturalmente c'è bisogno di un minimo di impegno, ma le versioni di mastodon post 2024 presentano una schermata iniziale che aiuta a definire meglio la propria timeline, con la scelta di alcuni profili consigliati dall'istanza

“La guerra continua”. Crisi istituzionale: il 25 luglio di Giorgia Meloni
@anarchia
La situazione in cui si trova oggi Giorgia Meloni è simile a quella in cui si trovò Benito Mussolini nell’inverno del 1942/43. Allora la responsabilità della guerra persa fu riversatahttps://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/la-guerra-continua-crisi-istituzionale-il-25-luglio-di-giorgia-meloni/

@Radgryd ActivityPub objects have a 'context' attribute that could be used for that, even. Now it's just a matter of convincing implementations to actually use it and provide a UI for users to set it 8-D

@GustavinoBevilacqua troppe palle in questo periodo, quando il consumismo si sposa alla religione nascono i peggiori mostri, non riesci a debellarli

@giacomo il problema di mastodon è proprio l'assenza di un algoritmo.
Trovare persone/account non è possibile se non seguendo altri sperando che ti pubblicano cose che ti interessano e viceversa.
Come tutte le cose ci sono i pro e i contro tra i servizi.@elettrona @informapirata @redflegias @graffio @acor3 @ner0773 @morrolinux @dajelinux @lealternative @eventilinux @BoostMediaAPS @ufficiozero

The Fediverse should have a dedicated 'Source' line you can put URLs or text into. 🤟🏻
