Nice, it even comes with a happy coronavirus logo!

Not that it matters much, but I think these days it's all called ADHD but with three subtypes: Inattentive (which would be ADD), Hyperactive, or Combined (which is the most common).

Only 6M €? For an event of that size that feels a lot cheaper than I would have thought.

Terrible headline. It sounds like Poundland is fully going away, rather than them closing some shops and cutting the unprofitable fluff such as the clothing line (which is what the article says).

Isn't this satire?

Are we seriously valuing this comic based on the quality of the drawings rather than the idea they convey?

IMHO this is all about the idea/text, which doesn't look like AI slop to me.

A console in 2025 "runs at a stable 30" fps and that's good news? Of course this is slightly faster than a mobile chip from 10 years ago, but that's an incredibly low bar to set.

Carl Pei and Pete Lau. They both co-founded OnePlus, Carl Pei later founded Nothing.

I'd agree, I live in the typical ADHD chaos but this meme doesn't feel relatable to me. I guess I'm lucky? Anyway, I'd totally say this is about anxiety, not ADHD.

What you're saying absolutely makes sense. However as someone with ADHD I couldn't relate any less, I wish I could get addicted to something like that and not lose interest after ten minutes!

Even assuming we're okay with using AI for language learning - then why would anyone pay for Duolingo instead of the many LLMs that people already use and pay for?

They've alienated their customer base hard. And this marketing video pretending they are siding with the users and against "their corporate overlords" is horribly tone deaf.

I've had success with just dish soap - it makes blockages "slide" more easily.

In the last flatshare I lived, I had a particularly annoying combination of a slow toilet and a flatmate incapable of solving any blockages. Whenever I'd see that, I'd go "fuck this", squirt a silly amount of Fairy in the bowl (I'm talking like 100 ml at least) and usually the blockage would resolve itself overnight.
