Has there ever been any research as to whether animals have mental traits similar to humans with ADHD?

It seems super weird to me that a successful species of hunters was able to pivot to repetitive and boring farm work. Repetitive stress should make a mentally healthy animal freak out! Sitting for years will kill you! Locking in to something that doesn't deserve your attention seems like it should've been a less fit adaptation.

The loudest voices don’t speak for the majority

Sorry but I do not buy it. They could be making the far right feel uncomfortable and unwanted everywhere, but they open up their churches pretending to change Nazis with kindness. They know it won't work and don't care.

Occam's Razor. Christians are doing this - just like the Inquisition - and the rest of them are cool with it. They're voting for it over every alternative and calling it lesser evil. They'll say No True Christian would do this evil, after saying all that was required was accepting Jesus into their hearts. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

The progressive churches are dwindling for the same reason social cigarette smokers are dwindling.

Right, but I'm talking about the hypothetical in which their wealth is capped at a fixed number of dollars. They'd reach the cap and then raise the ladder up after them.

Physical systems are a lot more expensive to train. It's questionable if they can safely finish buildings before some better new form of AI is invented.

And they weren't getting paid less than dirt after 10 years.

Inflation would steadily decrease their real wealth cap. Wealth includes investments.

Who isn't in need of money? Isn't that the overwhelming majority of people?

IMO the most important part of a bank or credit union is to hold an easily accessible cash reserve worth several months pay. This will cover you if you get fired or wreck your car. You can get a higher return outside the bank.

For the record I don't like how we're forced to do this, I'm just offering a survival strategy. As the average person builds up some savings, it will become easier for us to provide mutual aid during strikes.

We'd better not give them a reason, or they might start doing fascist things.

And then they'll cut everyone else's salary in half.

Pay is a tricky flexible thing that varies per person and has a million exceptions. Laws on salary generally don't work; politicians have taken us for a ride.

The only thing that will protect our pay regardless of inflation and legalese BS is to change the supply and demand equilibrium with a union.

They're now dependent on bailouts in order to out-compete new companies that don't waste money.

Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
