I don't have ADHD - but as I've heard commonly expressed by women... Stress about unfulfilled tasks makes getting and staying in a zone where sex feels possible and enjoyable so much harder. I can only assume ADHD makes trying to refocus on the moment extra challenging.

LMAO. Brilliant. Sounds like an easy recipe to repeat 😁

Yep! And every employer that has offered has had some kind of match.

I've rolled all my 401ks over with each new job.

I also have an IRA from money I saved towards retirement while working in Canada for 18 months. I took the tax penalty up front since I'll probably be US based for majority of my life. But I did earn a match while working in Canada.

Current employer gives 4% fully vested.

Contributing 20% of income at the moment (30 to) and hoping to retire before 60.

I think they should be separate. Like if a woman gives birth twice in one year (ow) that would be two visits.

Can width of bars be changed based on number of visits? The pregnancy related ones probably skew the data. I know pie charts are terrible but could they be useful in this case?

Congrats! That is so many tasks and so many times refocusing! I hope you gave yourself permission to celebrate such a huge win!

THANK YOU for making this the first logical comment I've seen on Lemmy for a while. THIS IS THE WAY!

I feel like what's missing is the magnitude of each of these versus the others

The never respond makes me think it could be a cover letter/resume problem - check resources for those. And like other people mention, contacts help when your resume isn't stellar. Consider reaching out to people directly on LinkedIn (I did this for a local engineering company that didn't have any jobs posted... but they still hired me). Might help if resume or cover letter is getting filtered out by AI during the process.

Anyone know what part of the bill he's referring to? Were corporate tax rates cut or was it more specific to certain sectors?

I recommend some John Green and Hang Green and vlogbrother videos. Remember the news reports on the catastrophic now... Not the slow incremental progress required to improve the world. But good things are still happening and good people are still working to make those good things happen.

Chances are (forgive me if I'm wrong as this obviously doesn't apply to every person) you are fed, warm, and sheltered. You can reach out to friends and family across town or across continents and connect in real time. As much as everything FEELS like the world is going to end... ignore what you need to in order to be your best self. Help where you can, give money to the things you care about when you can, and remember that humanity has done some really cool things.

Top of Mount Denali. If I'm ever strong and technically skilled enough to do it which I doubt my life path and associated finances would allow.

I have a hard time being satisfied with what I have - so I will likely move quite a bit in the future although I've promised my partner to try my best to set down roots where we are now.

I would argue that someone can't sacrifice their future ability to buy just to lower the price on a single unit.

They're stuck by the incentives of the situation just like everyone else.

We can't expect anyone to act outside their own good when it comes to huge amounts of money. Especially in a capitalist society where the only thing that protects your quality of life is money. No one is going to step in when things go wrong except your decision to protect yourself and your family by making financially beneficial decisions.

And yeah, that sucks when you are the other major portion of our society who isn't given the resources to grab that protection/money with both hands and not let go.

And on a more solution oriented note:

1. We need increased supply of dense housing appropriate for the average family, for the 20-30 yr olds who simply need a single bedroom, and for the retirees who need a small place to live after their children move out. Dense housing because driving an hour to where your job is makes sense to only a very small fraction of people and cities are continuing to attract people.
2. Increased pay for the average worker - probably requiring a decreased incentive to drive profits above all else for the large corporations that drive the majority of our market. (Thinking of examples like Walmart that pay minimum wage and then require their workers to receive government subsidies... meanwhile Walmart gets a profit. It's a little circular.)
3. Kindness so we can all share our stories and think of solutions that change the structure and don't require individuals to act outside their own interest. If we shut down conversation we're no better than our silly two party system that seems to make enemies out of each other. Listen and sympathise and learn what each person has been able to build. Don't be each other's enemies. That's letting the system we're in win.
