This was my first thought as well. OP sounds like myself before I was diagnosed with ADHD (type combined) and started learning how to address my symptoms.

As soon as I saw, "... Reading over and over..." In OPs post my mind jumped to ADHD. I, and so many others with ADHD, have to re-read a paragraph, heck sometimes a sentence before our brains wake up and realize that we should store this info in short term memory.

A therapist who specializes in ADHD in adults (it used to be believed that children diagnosed with ADHD would "grow" out of their ADHD as they got older. Thankfully this belief is rapidly changing as our understanding of ADHD gets better). They can help you start to re-work your life to be complimentary to your ADHD instead of feeling like you're trying to cram a square peg in a round hole.

ADHD isnt the root cause for everything, but it definitely influences all aspects of your life in varying degrees.

"Killing in the Name" by Rage Against The Machine is unfortunately as relevant today as when it was written if not more so.

Edit: updated to have the actual name of the song

But wait there's more! Like Hamlets which are smaller than a village.

And we haven't even started getting into the different types of cities: Metropolitis, Twin, Satellite.

If it's a quick dirty script like doing a one time update to multiple records then I'll just write it under the if name == main.

Hate to break it to you but vaccine skepticism is high in Europe: https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-vaccine-skeptic/

This idiocy recognizes no country borders.

We even have a real life example of this with all of the January 6th convictions resulting in jail time whereas his Highness was protected by a fascist judge who stalled the court proceedings at every opportunity.

Judge Aileen Cannon needs to be removed from her position, never be allowed to hold any judicial or public office position, and charged with obstruction of justice.

The Motorola Atrix 4G had a Desktop Mode (Webtop was its name and it was Ubuntu based) in 2011 before Samsung. They even released a cradle dock, that you could connect to a tv or monitor, and a laptop dock for it and the source code on Sourceforge (my guess is to be GPL compliant).

I got that phone specifically for the desktop mode. It had a full blown Firefox browser installed and you could run your apps along side it.

I was blown away and thought, "This is the future for computers" but I was incredibly wrong. After the short honeymoon period i found it to be sluggish and clunky when using an android app. The hardware although phenomenal for a phone couldn't provide an optimal experience for a desktop.

If the fixes keep coming I might just get back into TF2. I first played it and got hooked through The Orange Box on the PS3 and then eventually on PC when i got a gaming laptop years later.

Ya, I must have started using Linux well after Ubuntu made it really easy to install drivers.

Granted you do need to know where to find the option to install drivers, at least you used to maybe its even easier now, but I havent used Ubuntu in a few years.

Once you found where the option to install was it was a click of a button
