Why has the UK embarked on this moral panic of ADHD isn't real now?
This article is incredibly insidious. There's a lot in there that anyone would agree with -everyone has some level of ADHD symptoms, classrooms need to be adapted for how real children learn etc.- but the ultimate point is that ADHD isn't real. www.economist.com/leaders/2024...

the total failure of every negative policy the british government implements is always, always evidence for doing that policy even harder. then it fails again. then we just do it harder again. rinse and repeat til everything is banned
Their recommendation is ummm fuck idk ban “depression content” whatever that means

this is part of the general leftist critique of liberalism, right? you've built a system that creates the conditions for bloodsoaked psychopaths to control society, and then in one corner of the room you've put a crown and a bunch of signs around it that say no putting this on & keeping it on

I don't know why exactly anti-dooming discourse isn't seen as useless as dooming. And the doomers at least have evidence on their side on this one
youtubers, streamers, podcasters, etc are always on this beat bc they don't know how anything works & know that if they say something like this, their audiences will lap it up now & also 3 years later when they point to total gay commie revolution not happening and go "see? i was right!"

But hey, if you push through and beat the odds and become a one-in-a-million success story, you too might one day have a throng of fans tweeting at you to kill yourself
a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal

it’s worth underlining that the amount which a modern live game is not this is directly the result of devs fighting inch by inch, for months if not years, against the guy at every corporation who demands an explanation for why you aren’t doing this at all times
No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"
