As this is Lemmy, I misread the image and came here for Dirty Spock. I’m disappointed now …

Because the court made him immune

This strikes a chord for sure. I’m pretty angry with the Democrats right now. They keep sending me Kamala fundraising emails and this seems completely tone-deaf. I do not want more of the same.

Could you provide some examples please? This is the first time I’m aware that they have intentionally looked away.

Sure. Shame is one of the basic emotions. The emotions are firmware build into the mammalian brain to motivate survival and reproduction. They motivate without deliberate thought by inducing pleasure or pain which the organism either seeks more of or flinches away from. Fear is a flinching away from, whereas anger is a moving towards (with intent to destroy). Shame is a hard stop. it’s function, along with surprise, is to create a hard stop of ongoing behaviors. It is regarded as the most painful of the basic emotions.

The emotions arise from the brainstorm and midbrain/sub-cortical parts of the brain, the brain’s basement if you will. In contrast we also have the cortical part of the brain, living in the attic, and it does a different sort of processing, being the seat of language and symbolic processing.

The cortex is the part of the brain that can represent and model aspects of the world and then run “what-if” scenarios to determine what the best course of action might be. For instance, one might model what will people around me do if I express my feelings in a very loud and obvious way -> they won’t like it!, and from this anticipation they might instruct themselves to inhibit the extent of the emotional expression.

Executive Function refers to exactly that function of the cortex that enables behavioral inhibition to happen, and that is what is impaired in ADHD. People with executive dysfunction have difficulty inhibiting socially inappropriate behaviors like expressing too much emotion, and they also have trouble inhibiting or moderating the strength of the emotional expression in the first place. In a single sentence, ADHD folk are more prone to act on (emotional) impulse.

So when shame is triggered, due to a perception of personal failure or unworthiness, ADHD folk are less able to keep going and more prone to be paralyzed or derailed by the shame emotion itself.

Their only economic importance is their vote. Now that they’ve voted they will be neglected, not directly abused. Kinda like a pimp leading his hoes to think he cares about them.

A better name for the syndrome would be Executive Function Disorder. Executive Function is the term used to describe the ability to exercise agency and rational judgement when making decisions. Disorders of executive function leave a person having difficulty not responding impulsively. This affects attention; what I decide to pay attention to, and how long I hold my attention there, and it also affects emotional expression, how well I maintain an even keel and exercise control over how strongly my emotions become and how they influence my behavior. In ADHD people have difficulty deciding where their attention will go and also tend to be more emotionally labile. Shame sensitivity is frequently reported.

Solid mid-90s song. Haven’t heard it in years but always liked it. Brings back memories.

Musk? You mean John “Musk” Galt?

Is there any escape from noise?

Enjoy your home OP. May you live out many happy years under its shelter.

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahahah

There’s no “could” about it.

Not OP but usually mash means that there is one SSID shared across multiple routers and access points

Leaving Las Vegas was close

Raising Arizona

Well-meaning but empty words it would seem.

Cool-aide, silos and two parties who both neglected the little guy given that their wealthy backers can’t stomach doing so. Yes the Democrats ignore them less (Joe Biden’s effort to forgive student loans) but it wasn’t enough, and Trump says what desperate people want to hear I guess.

Everything is "very obvious ” with 20/20 hindsight.

There is totally a double standard.
