@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... It's more computationally expensive than writing a simple script to do the same thing. You just don't notice it because modern computers are so stupidly powerful.

There is a big caveat to this statement though: the latter requires the user to know how to write such a script, or to have one convieniently handy. Plus, you have to weigh the effort of writing such a script against the amount of work it's going to save you.

Personally, I wouodn't trust an LLM not to hallucinate and subtly corrupt my work in a non-obvious way, but that's a judgement call and you might choose differently.

@nprofile1q... I keep going back and forth as to whether or not I should persue a diagnosis. I don't know that it would give me any benefit, and while I don't live in the US,* some of their policies do tend to leak across the border. To that end, I wonder if it would be an unnecessary risk to have official documentation of having autism on the record.

* I live in Canada.

So, for a while now, after hearing a bunch of #ActuallyAutistic individuals talking about their experiences, I've been asserting that I wouldn't be shocked to learn that I was on the autistic spectrum.

Today, for shits and giggles, I decided to take the AQ and RAADS-R tests, and scored "very strong alignment with autistic traits" on both. While I'm not shocked to learn this, I have to admit, I didn't expect to score that high.

@nprofile1q... It's not that I'm getting rid of anything—apart from the dried out disposable lens wipes I found in the bottom of tje bag. It's about not carrying them on my person at all times.

I don't get rid of things easily, but on the flip side, I don't acquire things easily either.

Had to do a purge of the stuff in my bag. I was in denial about it, but it was starting to throw my shoulder out. Nothing in it was that heavy, but the cumulative weight was getting excessive.

Hard decisions had to be made.

"You know that #ADHD meds are addictive, right? They're basically speed!" 🤡

Listen... if I were in danger of getting addicted, I wouldn't need daily reminders to keep me from forgetting to take them. 🤦‍♂️
