  • If the fear for a typical woman is this bad, then we need to be better about teaching boys. I’m a pretty empathetic person, just ask my new very rapidly made female best friend. But despite the wife, and a few pretty damn close female friends, close mom, sister…. The fears expressed in my short reading on the current discussion have never been as clearly communicated, well the fear was definitely clear, but not the magnitude.

    I agree with the sentiment that it’s just a bad premise. It puts everyone straight into a defensive posture, and no one learns anything when they’re trying to defend their sense of self.

    On the other hand, if people are going to DMs to harass beyond the context of the heated conversation… well they ARE DEFINITELY the kind of people who are a threat, and need to be dealt with.


  • The long ones are worth the watch in my opinion, I was just like “oh that’s me, that makes sense… that explains a lot” and was intrigued throughout the whole 2.5hours of the talk on things parent should know.

    But this video is slightly shorter at 1.5hours, on specifically the state of and issues with adult adhd diagnostics right now.

    The research update videos are a bit hit and miss engagement-wise but his more comprehensive talks I find endlessly fascinating. I wish I could find the 5minute segment of the parents video that was mentioned to me, bc it’s what then got me looking for more of his content.

    He’s actually objectively in the top ~5 experts on adhd around the world.



  • Though slack does require legal justification iirc for them to give private chat records to the company.

    I realized this when I went to make channel MyChannel on my student orgs slack, but couldn’t bc the name was already in use. But I couldn’t find said channel, and my account was now the primary owner of the workspace. So I read through some of their documentation, and yeah… it’s made with some concept of privacy for employees.
