    Medication is a privilege that many with ADHD can’t access. It also doesn’t work for everyone. Are those people not disabled?

    Also, ADHD is more than struggling to focus, or to sit still. Many of us struggle to start tasks, manage money, keep things tidy, or manage time. These issues can cause so many problems in life, ranging from inability to hold a job to relationship issues. Once the medication wears off, these symptoms rise back to the surface; because ADHD medication isn’t a cure, it’s symptom management.



  • My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don’t remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn’t really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes







  • This may not be accurate anymore, but ~15 years ago I got my foot in the door as a game tester by showing a history of alpha and beta testing. I can go into more detail about my interview process if you want, but the point I wanted to make is that you don’t need to be a programmer or artist to work in the game industry.

    Broader advice is to take what you love and instead of doing exactly that - make a lateral transfer to a different industry. Making good beer and making good pizza dough take the same skills, their end products are what differs



  • Yeah, I understand why employers use it. Oddly, I used to work for Microsoft and can’t remember using OneDrive for our projects lol

    But as a student I really prefer saving stuff locally and to a separate storage device. The university system has been hacked at least once since I’ve been a student, we all lost our credentials and were required to physically go to the campus to reset them. The university also revokes access three years after graduation.
