Honestly, you need an actual website, not a page on someone else's platform. For this to take off it needs to look the part of a real party/movement and that means using services like discord and lemmy should be at most supplemental and should not be required for anyone to join and start learning about what you are doing.

Not really though. I get you're trying to be funny (and kids are idiots) but it's pretty simply that confectioneries can't contain non-nutritive items and the toy fully surrounded by chocolate is exactly that. There's very good reasons for the law, but it means treats like this get caught in the crossfire. There's very FDA has agreed in that past there likely isn't a large risk to kinder eggs, but the law is how it is and hasn't been changed (and it seems unlikely that it will in the near future at least).
This is one of the benefits of being on non-stimulant meds, the hoops to jump through are way less (I still had to fight insurance for a prior auth, which took nearly a month). I use an online Psychiatrist (Talkiatry) and have been really happy with my doctor. I also only need to see him as often as we think is medically necessary since atamoxetine can be refilled. It's been shown in trials to be as effective as methylphenidate and works well for me so far.
The diagnostic piece though is indeed hard, but I can sort of understand that. It's a pathway to drugs with a high probability of abuse, and no sure fire way to diagnose. So from a liability and care viewpoint I get why psychologists do due diligence in evaluating people (especially adults) for ADHD. It still sucks if you need help, but in theory you only have to deal with that process once to get a diagnosis. Also, as many people have pointed out, many PCPs are willing to fill scripts for controlled substances if needed, especially once you are on a stable dose that you know works. Like many things, the start up is the hardest and it gets easier once you hit steady state.
Yeah, it's okay when the work isn't super challenging or you can stay on top of the workload coming in. But when the work becomes actually challenging and/or you start getting too much to stay on top of naturally it leads to burnout really fast which just sucks (like I've contemplated quitting a job I generally really like from it).
You assume is was organized or focused in school or college as opposed to just generally curious enough to know tons of information while also being able to focus on lectures (because most were in topics I was interested in, especially in college) without taking lots of notes that made me pretty good at tests.
The reality? I got diagnosed and on meds and looking to therapy to close the gap. It turns out my grades were driven by good test taking and an ability to churn out a BS ridden paper that should have taken weeks in a day or two of pure panic. I have never needed to take a test at work to get my job done, and have grown weary of the panic fueled rushes to get things done by deadlines.
I'm not vegan or even vegetarian, not try to cut back diary generally. We have used Planet Oat oatmilk creamer for the last couple years and really like it. It is certified vegan for those that look for that. It has the right consistency to replace normal dairy creamers pretty well and tastes good. There's a variety of flavors if you go for that as well.
In addition to the political angle, sometimes I just want to answer a question or provide advice when that is the point of a post but I don't want to get drawn into long conversations about it. The feature is probably less useful for posts than comments but it seems like at least some folks would find it worth while.
I take it you don't know much of what the federal government actually does or how many of those things benefit you both directly and indirectly.
I won't argue that the federal government is anywhere close to as efficient as it could be, or that there aren't bad/lazy workers. But to just make a sweeping generalization shows real ignorance to why so much of these services are truly critical to why the US has been a world power, with a secure, comfortable populace compared to what it will be if those services are cut.
Goal setting is really hard, it's an entire skill itself that takes practice. One way to start is to look at others around you and ask yourself who you want to be; whose job are you actually jealous or envious of. That's a good jolt towards answer.
In the same way, look at the people you rely upon as the rocks that hold things together at work and try to determine what sets them apart from everyone else, why are they the go to people and no the person sitting next to them?
Yeah, we almost always owe a tiny bit (usually less than $100, often less than $50) to the state. I don't really understand how I can get so close but still miss it every year but overpay federal taxes when it's all based on the same W-4 I give to my employer.
The school districts get part of our local income taxes which is separate from what municipalities get (technically municipalities run wholly on property taxes, and the schools get a portion of that plus a portion of local income taxes that are split with the county. It's convoluted IMO). It depends on where you are employed and where you live, since your employer remits taxes to the municipality you work in and that municipality remits taxes to school districts based on where each employee lives (at least that's how I understand it, it all is mostly transparent other than needing to include various location codes on forms for your employer and for your local tax return).
This isn't really that uncommon, some airlines do similar (American I believe gave me this option on my last flight) and a lot of hotels and cruise lines do it. You are essentially bidding on available upgrades. The email wording is pretty tone deaf and the labels on that graphic are not the best (it's trying to show if your bid has a high chance of winning an upgrade or not) but on the whole it's a decent system to fill unused upgraded seats/rooms and in theory opens up lower seats for folks to use that otherwise wouldn't be able to afford them.
