Interestingly, some of the research that I’ve read has been pulling at that thread - there are possible evolutionary advantages to ADHD and specific situations in which people with ADHD (innattentive type, myself) actually excel over neurotypical people.

Well, in that case, advise him to the pressure on the centros de dia o centros de salud to get him the help with cleaning house like he did with the doctor and Adderall.

As an aside, indeed, in the US, if you have a problem with paying your taxes, you have to talk to the IRS. Same with healthcare, you have to engage with the social services system to get the right services.

But again, don’t lose sight of my main point - leverage social services assistance for custody purposes in the long run.

Peace and out, before I further annoy you.

Well, I spent a little bit of time digging, because I was curious, but the language barrier is making it a little slower.

My best advice for you would be for you to reach out to the Minesterio de Sanidad. Tell them that you are reaching out in concern for a friend, explain the basics of his situation, with an emphasis on his struggles with keeping a clean house, etc., and that you want to find out what services the Sistema Nacional de Salud offers on an outpatient basis for assistance with daily living skills or rehabilitation.

They ought to be prepared to handle a request like that without too much routing around. The goal is to find out what they can do to help your friend satisfy the courts requirements for a child rearing environment.

edit: oh, also, check out https://sid-inico.usal.es - in Spain, what you need is one of the publicos “Centros de Dia” services, or maybe privados con plazas concertadas, but T sounds like he would belong to the Asistidos category of needs

Ah, well, then none of my advice likely applies, unfortunately. It would help to know what country you need the advice for. Some western countries might follow a similar style of treatment, where you need to get the help of a “social worker” for “skills of daily living”

The update I’ve been waiting for to keep on exploring in NG8

Mental health services here are criminally underfunded

Par for the course in the USA.

He has been seeking that help, but it was only after being annoying for years that he got a doctor to agree to prescribing Adderall.

Also, par for the course in the USA. Recently, Adderral has been undergoing a DEA mandated supply shortage and since the 00s doctors really have been averse to prescribing it, in particular. There are now non-stimulant alternatives with less side effects.

What I am saying though, is that he needs a social worker to be spending an hour every week with him. If he is on Medicaid, due to his financial and medical situation, then he should be readily approved for the “skills training” side of mental/behavioral health care, which often comes from a social worker.

T would benefit from reaching out for mental/behavioral health assistance above and beyond just seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist. He needs additional supportive services that may be called something like “skills training”.

With that in place, and a demonstrated record of showing signs of improvement, and a lawyer, he ought to be able to get custody back.

Might be worth seeing if the administration can come to an agreement that he gets further supportive services before they reduce custody.

Enjoy your echo chamber.

Irony. She sounds kind of similar to how Manchin and Smyrna are to the Democrats.

“Gore rushed to share the news with the hard-liners who had encouraged her to run for the seat. She expected them to be as relieved and excited as she had been. But she said they were indifferent, even dismissive, because “it didn’t fit the narrative that they were trying to push.””

Haha that is a great idea! Give the landmine kill a special animation just to make sure that the cheaters get the message or let them figure it out in time lol?

Heh, did you share that inventory technique on news.ycombinator? I could have sworn that I read a story there a team doing that.

I know exactly what you are talking about - I was digging into the modding of this one game and happened upon a cheater’s forum. Blew my mind that the first step was to completely gut your computer’s security lol. But at the same time, was enlightening to see that. Seems like some of the work has been moved to the Anti-Cheat systems, but I’m guessing that there must be large gaps in what the AC can actually do for you at the application level?

How many orphans? How many families destroyed? How much oral history lost? How much more will we ignore the UN?

Bwah, don’t give me a reason to rewatch SG-1 to try to find it. Context is king lol.

Heh, I saw it on news.ycombinator.com back when it was announced- they have made strides if you can access TSA now!

In the beginning it was just a form for every manner of authentication and then a big CTA, essentially telling other .gov entities to start making project requests.

Bwaha, thank you fellow human!

Thanks All!

Ok, thanks!

I’m using Memmy, so I’ll try to login on the web someday and get that server instance blocked. (Presuming we are running v19+, not sure)

40% less genocide, yay

I say to thee, I’m mad as hell, and I can’t take it any more.

No Human Rights, No America

Kudos for looking out first your future self - I had to leave the field entirely after it got to the point where I couldn’t stand to look at a computer anymore. Still can’t for more than an hour, two years later.

I intend to reply more later, because this does deserve a longer reply, but I am short on steam.

In the meantime, have you heard of login.gov? Check that out. The day that .com gets a hook into that is the day that identity problems are (mostly) solved.
