  • Yes and no. Laws can be designed for different states or even interpreted differently based on state law. A good example is conditional funding based on certain criteria, drinking age for example. What is unusual, and maybe unconstitutional, is if the laws are designed to target certain groups or political affiliations. So if the purpose or effect violates constitutional protections, such as equal protection, due process, the First Amendment, or bans on bills of attainder (laws targeting specific people). But we all know with this administration it is a free-for-all since so much of this shit is blatantly either illegal or unconstitutional and nothing is being done to stop them.






  • The one thing that my wife and I consistently fight about. I’m 55 and have had this all my life so it’s not new. Basically all of the little quirks like unfinished projects, hyper-focusing on certain things (typically video games but often software projects or some electronic project I’m building in my lab … it’s a lab dammit not just a garage), clutter on my desk, terrible time management, misplacing stuff, delayed audio processing, forgetting bills or appointments, procrastination,etc… you know all the typical ADHD stuff. Yes my medication helps but not always 100%. And yes I can overcome 95% of them with just Herculean willpower that I just don’t have 99.9% of the time. She thinks it’s just an excuse and that all of these things happen because I guess I’m either lazy or just don’t care.

    I do finish projects (sometimes) and have figured out how to use my “super powers” for good at my job, and I’m able to function most days so I guess I can see her point. We work very well together since she’s an ultra planner but sometimes a little more empathy would be welcome.
