This trope that ADHD is somehow a fucking gift needs to die. It’s not. I don’t need it to be who I am and it sure as fucking fuck didn’t help me get ahead in life. It wasn’t the price of being smart, everyone else is my family is smart without having to worry about things I do. Just… No. You’re wrong about this.

Heavens help you if an ancient Greek or Roman author happens to have disliked you…

Would you like cheese on that?

I have decided that it is safe to assume that everyone is an idiot, including me, and behave accordingly: act deliberately with an open mind, making no assumptions, and remain curious.

Frank Herbert’s Bene Gesserits had a tenet in which they remained mindful of the naivety of all people, including themselves, ostensibly to prevent allowing hubris to allow poor decisions.

Coming back around to my point: I think we’d all get along a lot better if we’d all agree we’re all stupid, but we can get better.

I’ve had some of those and also some of the proprietary Tuya ones. The module has the same footprint so I ordered some ESP32 modules in the same form and used a hot air rework station to swap them. The modules are really cheap so I still come out ahead price-wise.

Here’s a test: Take some Adderall. If you’re a spaz for 6 hours that does an entire semesters worth of homework, the laundry for the whole house for a week, and clean your room for the first time in three years, you don’t have ADHD.

If you take it and act like a normal human being for the first time in your life, then you do.

Your milage will vary.

Because they’ll kill you either way. They can’t be trusted and following their orders won’t help.

I’ve been using Zoho for email on my domain. My residential service blocks port 25 so being actually self hosted wasn’t going to work. I had rented a cheap VPS for $4/mo to run it on, thinking I’d have other uses for it. Eventually I just went to the Zoho free email hosting with my domain. It’s been fine for years and I’m reasonably sure it has a catch-all as well.
