Yk, this is the ONE time living in the ass end of nowhere has been good for my wallet.
I’ve wanted to paint minis for a while now, and the one mini I got is a small blueberry I haven’t even painted because I’d need to buy the tools and paints, which aren’t sold here.
If I were stateside I’d be drowning in orc and salamander minis. Or more likely yet, primed but not painted, and tossed aside like half the hobbies I pick up until the moment I got the jist of what its about.

I feel personally attacked
I got 300 eur worth of ifninity minis, lost a shitty painting competition and now ive put it off since i need a paint booth.
Ive picked up airsoft now. At least airsofts cheaper.
Oof, isn’t airsoft a money sink as well?
Unironically really cheap. Mostly kids with no jobs play it so they have no concept what a money sink is.
It’s comparable in cost to a cheaper tabletop mini game.
Oh, I had thought it would’ve been expensive as hell. Guess that it comes down to how built up you have your kit, I guess.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
How about these (via ChatGPT):
Career and Income Losses:
- Lower Lifetime Earnings: Frequent job changes, underemployment, or missed promotions due to difficulty with consistent performance or following through on tasks.
- Job Losses: Getting fired for missing deadlines, poor time management, or conflict with supervisors due to impulsivity.
- Unrealized Potential: Difficulty pursuing further education or specialized training, leading to stagnation in low-paying jobs.
Financial Penalties and Poor Credit:
- Chronic Late Fees: Regularly paying late fees on bills, loans, and credit cards due to missed due dates.
- Debt Accumulation: Impulsive spending, forgotten subscriptions, and lack of consistent budgeting lead to high-interest debt.
- Credit Score Damage: Missed payments or overdrafts negatively impact credit scores, making borrowing more expensive.
Housing Instability:
- Evictions or Foreclosures: Missing rent or mortgage payments due to poor financial management.
- Higher Rental Costs: Needing to pay higher deposits or prepay due to bad credit history.
- Missed Maintenance and Repairs: Failing to address small maintenance issues, which can lead to costly repairs or devalued property.
Legal Costs and Penalties:
- Traffic Violations and Accidents: Speeding tickets or accidents due to impulsive driving.
- Missed Court Dates or Legal Deadlines: Resulting in fines, judgments, or loss of legal rights.
- Divorce and Family Law Issues: Impulsivity or emotional dysregulation affecting relationships.
Educational Costs:
- Dropped Courses or Programs: Paying for tuition without completing the course due to focus issues.
- Lost Scholarships: Failing to meet academic performance requirements.
- Additional Training Costs: Needing remedial courses or career changes.
Relationship Losses:
- Divorce or Separation: Marital stress due to communication issues, forgetfulness, or inconsistent behavior.
- Social Isolation: Losing friends due to forgetfulness, missed social events, or impulsive remarks.
Missed Opportunities:
- Unclaimed Benefits: Failing to apply for grants, scholarships, or tax credits on time.
- Unutilized Memberships or Services: Paying for subscriptions or memberships that are forgotten or unused.
- Missed Investments: Avoiding long-term planning, resulting in a lack of retirement savings.
Get this LLM slop out of here. If you can’t be bothered to write your own comments, don’t bother saying anything at all.
Go fuck yourself. I was honest about the source.
Judging people for using the tools at their disposal to help make a point is just ableism.
Except you’re not using a tool, you’re replacing your comment with the tool.
If I had written the comment out myself, it would have made largely the same point.
I appreciate yout honestly but you aren’t going to find hardly anyone on Lemmy who wants to read anything made by generative AI. People have a strong negative reaction to it. As someone who tried to give AI an honest chance, I found it less than useless for even the most basic tasks. It often has no idea what I’m talking about or when it does it just makes shit up. It’s good for laughs though, I had it write a script for a sequel to the 2008 film Speed Racer. That was funny to read lol.
Have to ask what you used it for for it to be “less than useless” as that seems mighty biased or hyperbolic.
I’m a software developer and work for a tiny company of 7 employees including the owner engineers.
We use LLMs everyday and the time it has saved us in real world numbers is massive to say the least.
It was enough that we all got pay rises and a reduction of hours from 37.5 to 33 per week.
It ain’t doing our jobs for us but to say it is useless is ridiculous and shows the clear bias of Lemmy on this subject matter. It’s a kin to saying a calculator is useless in making an accountable faster at their job.
I like this place but at this point it is nothing more than an echo chamber akin to the Donald where discussion is not encouraged for dissenting opinions and it’s just a circle jerk of everybody feeling superior without any intention of making the world a better place.
Ironic user name for a vibe coder. Do you guys have an estimate for the rate of technical debt and vulnerabilities introduced or is that secondary to “getting it done”?
Vulnerabilities is going to be the same as before as it’s not like we just vibe code the whole thing. It’s akin to Intellisense on steroids.
As an example we have pretty well defined coding standards and so there is a lot of repetition in how we make calls from Typescript -> GraphQL -> C#. And the fact that CoPilot learns from our code base and then learns how we do thing.
Why do I want to write the same mutations or queries every time when it’s the same, when LLMs can do it and we can solve NEW problems not the same one over and over.
Technical debt is certainly down, because take me as recently promoted from Junior to Dev and my bosses hourly consulting rate would be £1000-2000 an hour then me asking less questions saves him a lot of time to actually do the higher level stuff.
I find it interesting how you would question that my boss, literally the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life wouldn’t have done risk assessments and made a value judgement. After all we get paid more now for less work.
We don’t just get things done and we go above and beyond for clients. If we quote £50k for an application and we expect it to take 6 months and the client is still refining 12 months later then we do what is right by the client and don’t charge more.
We have local councils, one of the largest phone providers in the Uk, and other massive clients that always come back for repeat business and recommending us to other people. We do not advertise and we are not short of work.
I have to wonder how many of these people saying LLMs are useless in this context actually earn money coding and how many just rant about it because it’s the trend here.
Eat a bag of dicks. Nobody wants to read LLM garbage, regardless of whether you think that’s ableism or not.
I never want to hear what ChatGPT says, because ChatGPT is a purpose-built bullshit machine. I would rather you leave a comment posting my debit card number than leave hot stinky garbage like this.
Sadly, I don’t know your debit card number, you’ll have to live with the hot stinky garbage.
Maybe you could type responses to people with the bony tentacles on your hands, using your brain?
Maybe you could use your own bony tentacles to add something useful to the thread, instead of shitting on people who have the temerity to use a different approach to actually contribute some useful information.
Or, you know, keep on whining. Whatever.
This isn’t the kind of slop I want pretty girls to throw on me
Username checks out…?
*well-off ADHD tax.
I make it a rule to only start inexpensive hobbies.
Once they have progressed, and I’m getting good at it, they turn to expensive hobbies.
This triggers the end of the hobby cycle and a new hobby is targeted.
I just started magic the gathering as a hobby, lol
My wallet feels this.
Cheaper option: invent a time machine. Go back 30 years. Buy up all of the cardboard with the word Mox on them, and everything with a black border. Travel back to 2025. Sell cardboard and retire!
Proxies. I have several full decks that are all fake cards printed from high quality proxy printing sites, ~$30-40 per 100 card commander deck, not sure how tariffs changed the cost, haven’t ordered recently, but it was not a US based site. Obviously not legal in competitive play, but I only play casual amongst friends
I’m a 5/9
I’m not diagnosed and I’m 9/9
I’m not too fond of calling this a ‘tax’. Tax money goes to funding actually useful things. Conservatives want you to think that giving money to the government and throwing it down the toilet are the same thing.
Good point. What I wonder what word would fit better: Fees, dues, expenses, charges, bills
Extra charges, because that is what those are.
Copays and deductibles
Just cost? It’s what it is. The cost of having adhd
Luckily my wife pays the bills in the house or I be a mess.
This is me too. I don’t think I could survive on my own.
I’m pretty good at making money tho. I’m even good at investing. But paying a simple bill requires 2 doses of Ritalin
Autopay is the way.
Everyone forgets shit. Get over yourself.
Placing all the things you personally forget in an ADHD box does not in any way absolve you.
Same way an autistic asshole is still just an asshole who happens to be autistic, one is not caused by the other.
Yeah everyone forgets things but how many people have ever had their car repossessed while also having enough money to pay off the whole loan because the crappy bank that gave the best interest rate doesn’t have a convenient autopay system?
I don’t think people are thinking of absolution when they recognize these kinds of things are part of their disorder. It’s commiserating with your fellow sufferers on the absurd, counterintuitive, and inconsistent nature of the damn thing.
Your bank almost certainly has a way to mail checks on a schedule.
Thanks for sharing but there is no need to help solution this example that happened more than a decade ago.
The original poster of this comment chain said something minimizing the severity and impact ADHD can have in a person’s life to the effect of “everyone forgets things, get over yourself”
My comment explains that there is a casual level of forgetful and an ADHD level of self sabotaging forgetful which is one of the things that makes it a disorder and not just a person who is a little careless.
Except that “forgetting things” is the most salient symptom of ADHD, while “being an asshole” is nowhere near the autism spectrum.
Right? “Forgetting things” is one thing…but whenever I have a home project I spend more time looking for my hammer multiple times than I do actually working. As an example.
I have 5 hammers, 2 identical drills, and 4 box cutters because of this.
I have some 20 pair of scissors for the same reason.
I don’t even want to know how many screwdrivers I’ll find when I pack my shit to move.
Object permanence is a big problem. A big expensive problem. I can set something down right in front of myself and lose it basically immediately.
So you’re just an asshole then?
Fuck off. This community literally has just the one rule.
These all hit home 😳
spends
\sigh
I want to laugh, but it’s too close to home.
I’ll add:
Missing appointments, rescheduling and then missing that one too.
And still paying for the appointments that were missed
Oh I HAVE A BINGO !(unfortunately)
Last week I forgot to pay for one of the items in my bag. Like genuinely forgot that I had it. Had to pay 165€ for shoplifting.
Also: meds cost the same amount as my phone bill. Adds up, too.
arent you suppose to buy something after losing it? eating out is not allowed for nonadhd guys? is this suppose to be a meme or something?
Neurotypical people don’t lose things as often. And when they do, they often remember where they misplaced it by retracing their steps.
Neurotypical people have their shit together so they find time and energy for cooking meals more often than people with ADHD.
I definitely find myself in all of these, except for the one in the middle of the last row.
i get it now. the picture oversimplified this.
Oh shit I just 100 percented this game. What do I win??
Crippling debt
At this moment he realized. The debt was inside him all along
Debt
I forget…
