This happened to me in Kansas on the way to college a long time back. The cop pulled out and started tailgating me and I slowly got closer to the car in front of me and then he put his lights on and pulled me over for “following too closely”.

He wanted to search my car and tried to call in a drug dog. Put me in his car and turned the AC to fill blast while I waited for a dog that never came.

Wish I had the courage to have asked if I was being arrested and then demand being let go otherwise

Alternatively, use your shell however you want. And which isn’t POSIX so I wouldn’t use that in a shell script you intend to share.

I don’t really find it infuriating and I don’t think that makes me part of a problem. Self diagnosis can sometimes trivialize the people actually suffering from the problem, and there van be real harm there. So I definitely agree with you to some extent. But some people are so hungry for community that self diagnosing some problem like ADHD makes them part of something else. That’s sad to me, but not infuriating.

I do understand that mislabeling normal things as a mental health issue can be problematic. I wish you didn’t assume I thought otherwise from our small exchange. My point of responding was that I find it really annoying when people say “well everyone does or feels X so there’s nothing wrong with you”. I think that also does a lot of damage to people.

I’d say that the person on display in the comic doesn’t seem to be showing “normal” or “healthy” procrastination to me, but there is room for disagreement I guess.

Wow, people are so extreme on the Internet. One comment saying maybe take a step back and we’re already at “fucking stupid”.

This comic is relevant to general human experience and ADHD, both are true and valid. The comic didn’t tell people to self diagnose and no one here has told anyone to self diagnose.

Normal people feel sad. Feeling sad consistently and having it harm your life and not knowing how to fix it is called depression. People with these problems aren’t aliens showing weird never been seen before behaviors or emotions, but their lives are consistently disrupted by these normal things. It’s a problem of how often and how much the person can control it.
