That's because you're the victim of a crime: extortion

No, terrible record keeping is exactly what caused this, according to the anonymous whistleblower: warranty work on the door was performed without any records being created for it due to boeing keeping two record keeping systems, one that was the system of record and one that was used as visibility for management.

No, the NTSB said that Boeing hadn't provided them with the records, not that orders for the reinstallation hadn't been made. Boeing is now trying to blame the lack of records to follow-up on on employees, even though none of the work should have been possible without the records existing in the first place.

Boeing absolutely shouldn't be trying to get out ahead of the NTSB investigation with their own deflecting interpretation of what the NTSB has uncovered and shared with Boeing, which is probably along the lines of the anonymous whistleblower from a few months ago who detailed failings in the record keeping process before the senate hearings revealed that Boeing hadn't provided the NTSB with the records (which according to the anonymous whistleblower didn't exist because they were never created)

$5k?! A doctor's visit is $250 for me (insurance doesn't cover anything until I never reach the deductible). Also there were only like 2 tests totalling 20-ish questions. The hardest part was making an appointment, which I never would have done if I wasn't also making appointments for other pressing health issues.

That makes as much sense as saying trans, non-binary people only need to have a satisfying, meaningful life without a vision of masculinity, femininity, or gender Identity.

Based on what they've done in the past, they're going to write it off on their taxes when though the titles aren't even games that they own.

In response to the incident, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

“Today, it was proven that the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza while hostages are being held captive in the Gaza Strip is not only madness, but it also endangers the life of IDF soldiers.

“This is another reason why we must stop the transfer of aid. In truth, the aid only harms IDF soldiers and provides oxygen to Hamas,” he concluded.

Diagnosis and medication for ADHD (and anxiety) was a huge benefit to me. Before I would want to do the dishes but not be able to. I'd go to the kitchen and the dishwasher would be full, so before I could do the dishes, I needed to empty the dishwasher, and before I could empty the dishwasher I needed to wash my hands and I'd get overwhelmed, not do dishes, and feel bad about it. I could empty the dishwasher if it's what I planned on doing ahead of time, and if I started doing dishes I'd keep going stacking up dishes to wash even with the dishwasher full.

The very first day I had medication for ADHD (I'd had anxiety meds for a few weeks) I plowed through washing my hands, putting dishes away, doing dishes, went shopping for various things (I hate shopping), got winter bike pants so I could keep biking in the winter (it was already late November), and then eating dinner I got close to the end of my meal and just stopped because I didn't want to eat anymore instead of finishing what I was eating because it's what I was already doing.

Now when I don't do dishes it's because I don't want to, not that I'm overwhelmed by it.

I still have anxiety and indecisiveness and avoidance of projects that are important to me, that somehow have my identity/ego tied up in them, or things like that. But I can do small things for myself now instead of only being able to do things for other people. Like @xmunk said it's not solved for me, but things are much better.

Between getting treatment for ADHD and another medical condition I've lost about 10kg without even trying, I'm sure both treatments have contributed to it.

Besides getting medication, diagnosis is helpful because it's easier to understand what's happening. Even though I could tell myself "I know this isn't normal" when I was overwhelmed or stressed out over seemingly nothing, part of me would be questioning if I wasn't really just that lazy/inadequate. Now I know what's going on and I still feel frustrated, and bad, but I'm more kind to myself about it.

I never even would have been able to make an appointment to get treatment if I hadn't seen tons of ADHD memes on lemmy and realized, oh, maybe that's not normal. Seeing people describe being on ADHD meds as easy mode and describing the things I struggled with as being hard. I saw something on facebook that said

If being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now.

And that really stuck with me. I also got the idea in my head that

I deserve to be able to do things for myself, not just for other people.

I also resolved before going to the appointment for ADHD that no matter what, whether that's what I had, or I got medication, or if the medication worked, I was going to try to be kind to myself.

But I never would have even been able to make an appointment if another medical condition hadn't escalated to literally feeling pins and needles and I made a bunch of appointments for other things when I made one for that. I didn't make it specifically for ADHD, just some general complaint that I had some executive disorder and a description of what was happening.

Universal basic income and universal healthcare so I (and everybody else) don't have to worry about a job, being able to work, retirement, disability, and employers will have to offer meaning, increased quality of life, and actual respect to attract employees.

No, not as simply as that. That's the basic idea of recommendation systems that were common in the 1990s. The algorithm requires a tremendous amount of dimensionality reduction to work at scale. In that simple description it would need a trillion weights to compare the preferences of a million users to a million other users. If you reduce it to some standard 100-1000ish dimensions of preference it becomes feasible, but at the low end only contains about as much information as your own choices about subscribed to or blocked communities (obviously it has a much lower barrier of entry).

There's another important aspect of learning that the simple description leaves out, which is exploration. It will quickly start showing you things you reliably like, but won't experiment with things it doesn't know you'd like or not to find out.
