We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell

I started feeling better once I realized that my ADHD requires chaotic discipline not regular discipline, meaning some days I’ll be on fire and some days I need to be a potato, and being a potato some...
This is a brilliant observation.
I definitely had a potato day today – accidentally took a five hour nap this afternoon!
“Chaotic discipline.” a concept that totally resonates. Not all forms of “discipline“ in life need to look like life in Boot Camp.

The wording needs to be on the back, though so anyone sneaking up on you in the office with “just a quick question“ would be appropriately warned away.

What’s the source of the confusion? Interruptions are lethal when it comes to creative work like coding, writing, or other puzzle-like tasks where you have to keep 100 ideas in your mind at the same time.

Sec. 2. Policy and Definitions. It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy:
(a) “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”
(b) “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.
(c) “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.
(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.
BREAKING: Here is the anti-trans sex/gender executive order. It's extensive, it's bad, and it's often lawless. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
And, do not miss in "d" and "e" below, it even tries to put in the beginnings of a personhood argument, for some reason.
