  • Yup. It's a developmental disorder instead of a mental illness (like autism). Our frontal lobe or prefrontal cortex didn't develop properly.

    I think ADHD is a horrible name for it. Executive Functioning Disorder is a much more accurate name.

  • My best friend as a child lived like 4 houses down the cul de sac from us, and I was literally at his house every day.

    But still, every day I'd knock and ask if he could play, despite his parents telling me over and over that I could just come inside whenever I wanted.

  • Mental health issues caused them to be homeless. People with severe Bipolar, borderline, or schizoeffective disorders can't function in society without being heavily medicated, and a choice was made to not take that medication (I don't blame them. Anitsychotics have super shitty side effects).

    Sure, homelessness might make it worse, but their illness is what led to the homelessness.

  • A large part of the problem is that many don't want help. Taking antipsychotics sucks in a huge way, as well as quitting most hard drugs. (these demographics account for ~80% of the chronically homeless)

    Universal Healthcare won't change much since you currently can't force someone to take their meds or quit drugs.

    Chronic homelessness is a problem that won't be solved by throwing more housing or money at it. It's a super nuanced problem that requires changes at a societal level to address (which won't happen)

    A lot of people seem to think the majority of homeless are those who are just down on their luck, but that's just not true.

    Auto Shutoff Light Switch?

    I have been searching on and off for years with no avail for a simple light switch that turns off after a preset amount of time to install on our closets. I just want a regular ass looking rocker switch, not one with a dozen timer buttons, not one with a motion sensor.

    I know I could just use a smart switch and have HA turn it off, but I'm waiting for TP-Link to release a Matter ready firmware update before buying more.

    I guess I could just use a sonoff relay, but I really don't think this particular application should require smart functionality.

    Anyone know of a switch like what I'm trying to find?

    aww @lemmy.world
