I found this video from How To ADHD to be highly encouraging, and helped bolster both my self-esteem and motivation.

Better yet, I think it applies to those without ADHD as well.

@alayna Bro I FEEL

@Laser That's sexist

@farhan

1. While interventionist policies are unethical IMHO, I fail to see how the US government is oppressive, I am unaware of many examples of this.

2. They do? I actually haven't heard then talk about it at all.

@alex True.

It takes more than one admin to run a social network with a million users.

Still makes me feel better about leaving for #QOTO. After all, it is smaller, with more admins, who I actually trust.

@alex I'm still sympathetic to the users, but Torba's actions have evaporated my faith in him, and thus his ability to run an instance well, thus lowering my respect of the instance itself. Of course, coupled with its glaring software issues.

@farhan Hello there @mudgeelight! Nice to meet you! Although I think I have seen you before from my SFW alt account...

@farhan There are some similarities in the interventionism, but the government isn't used to turn on the citizens like they were in Rome.

@farhan (And there's nothing biblical about opposing banking and the military. In fact, whole there's little in the Bible about banks, there's a lot of evidence that God views armies as a good thing.)

@farhan On the #Trump issue, the Christian community is far more diverse than you give it credit for. Many are #NeverTrump voters. Others find him unappealing but are hoping his Supreme Court picks will end up overturning Roe V Wade. A precious few (led by the American Family Association) have convinced themselves that he's actually a Christian, despite his lack of piety, use of profanity (which I don't view as sinful, but they do), and his "pastor" Beth Moore's deep-seated theological issues.

@farhan You have a good point, that a lot of Protestantism is cultural, but I view the cultural movement as Baptist, since Protestantism is a specific belief system, while the Baptist denomination is very theologically diverse, with only rejection of infant baptism as a core doctrinal belief. I think all Protestants are Baptist, though.

Follow the Southern Baptist Convention and you will find it's more political than theological, sadly.
