  • I partly agree with you, but not completely. There are benefits to claiming you are ADHD, like in the UK being covered as a disability, thus employers are required to make reasonable adjustments for work comfort e.g. Noise cancelling headphones.

    People without ADHD that claim to be can shew the expectations of what ADHD people go through in the wrong direction.

    That said: I ended up waiting like 3 years for my diagnosis (and I had to chase those bastards every single time for a response), so if my employer didn’t trust me and wasn’t understanding of my struggles I would have been sacked by now.

    That said; needing to pay £1,000s to get essential mental health care is outrageous. I’d take a reasonable self-assessment any day over expecting people to pay that.

    But I wish people would stop voting for the government party that trying to convince them that immigrants are stealing jobs and they should underfund health care to keep the economy safe.

    I don’t think any of these are planets.

    Though one interesting thing is that Ligma was actually the name of a company incorporated in England and Wales that provided IT consulting services.

    It has the company number: 12243748. Google the company number and see for yourself.

    Apathy is worse than the whales.

    Let’s do some theoretical scenarios for microtransactions:

    -apathy with whales: “we need to ensure a good monetisation model to extract value from the whales, even if the normal players are missing out”

    -apathy without whales: “let’s try adding microtransactions to extract more value per player, it won’t hurt our sales!”

    -No apathy with whales: “no one is buying our game! And our whales have no one to play with! Are the whales even enough to fund this on its own? We got to undo the microtransactions soon!”

    -No apathy no whales: “why did we even add microtransactions! Every business knows that only quality games and good marketing can help sales!”

    A little hyberbolic but surely you see my point.
