I just hope we get cross play before everyone gets tired of the game.

Probably not lol. Seems to me more along the lines of those folks copy/pasting the whole “I hereby claim that nothing on my Facebook can be used without my permission” on Facebook.

LMFAO oh yeah the reading is the problem, not the low-effort AI drivel. Dumbass take.

Oh my God why do I see this all the time on here. Nobody wants a massive copy/paste wall of text of whatever garbage chatGPT generated.

Great band though, you’ve got good taste

Beats Skype for Business too, which was Microsoft’s previous offering. And it was BAD.

What’s the stupid catch, I’m not reading this drivel

It is literally their job to ensure the patient has taken the medication prescribed to them as directed by the doctor. It’s a controlled environment. It’s a hospital.

Seems more like a question you should direct at your manager and coworkers, but you know you won’t like their answers, so you’re asking here where we lack context lol.

Yeah, it’s a federal agency, and one that’s obsessed with the process of slowly and iteratively improving safety standards. So I understand. It just sucks. 50 years ago mental health wasn’t something the FAA had to think about. Now, so many more prospective pilots have at least something on their record. So they need to catch up. The biggest issue, I think, is that career pilots hide the problems they have in order to keep their jobs. Because they don’t have much of a choice. Suck it up, or jump through a bunch of hoops to seek treatment and still possibly lose your income. Lotta closeted alcoholics in aviation, I’m positive.

I want to be a recreational pilot. I’m quite good at it, very committed to and interested in the procedural aspects of it, and religiously adhere to the safety guidelines. According to FAA rules you cannot have an ADHD diagnosis and be prescribed drugs for it and fly, point blank. I’ve never been officially diagnosed with ADHD, but the FAA reached out and grounded me because I didn’t lie on the medical application and said I’d dealt with depression in the past. Despite the medical examiner clearing me and issuing my certification.

The long, tedious process of trying to be cleared again stressed me out more than flying was fun, and now I’m just sort of in a limbo, after thousands of dollars spent on training.

This is all to say that the process taught me that the stigma around mental illness is alive and well in the USA, and I just don’t want any of it on my medical record anymore. I can deal with it. Mental health support isn’t good enough yet to actually significantly improve my life, or at least it’s never worked well enough for me. So the consequences of having any hint on an official document somewhere of not being 100% mentally stable and content 100% of the time aren’t worth it. Who knows if a new opportunity or new-found passion comes along and I get fucked out of it because I felt sad for a long time and wanted to talk to someone about it, or I wanted some help trying to make my brain work more like everyone else’s. I’ll do what I should’ve done from the start, and suck it up.

Sorry for the rant, definitely more than you were looking for, it’s just been weighing on me.

Executive dysfunction. I have a horrible time with completing tasks that I’ve built up stress over, my brain just won’t let me start because it feels hopeless. It’s a constant struggle to get things done. And nobody understands. I don’t really expect them to, because “oh sorry that task stressed me out so much that I’ve just completely avoided it” isn’t a valid excuse. ADHD drugs helped but I don’t want to be on them, and a prescription to them bars me from doing other things that I actually enjoy. So I’ll probably just struggle with it the rest of my life.

Stalinist. The usual suspects defending genocide and simping for China.

Creating something collective to try to go against the capitalists is one thing, tankies are another

Yeah absolutely. And there’s toxicity that was already here, see hexbear and any other radical left communities.

Yeah I don’t need the tweaky dude stabbing me on the train because I didn’t like his music, but thanks

Same vein, devops/data engineering. Maybe I’ll give it another shot, I’d like to get off Google.

I tried duckduckgo for a while and kept coming back to Google for “real” searches at work. It’s not as good for searching in my experience. Yet.

Why do people pay a monthly subscription to use animated emojis lmao

I didn’t report or remove it, take it up with the lemmy.ml mods lmao
