        That cone is a traitor. It promised me happiness and instead offered me only lies. I'm not mad at it, just disappointed.

              The image links to the thread. It was a worthwhile read, to me at least.

                            So, I wanted to share this, as I married someone in the neurological field and learned an immense amount of shit about myself, and ADHD. Because I had ADHD when ADHD was just some bullshit excuse for your kid not listening, or something. So no meds. Never. Not ever. Because ADHD isn't real.

                            Obviously it is.

                            Anyways, I've done really dangerous jobs, and also have been in construction for like, twelve years now. Big construction. Personal residence. I fucking love it. It all makes sense to me, and best of all: ADHD isn't a flaw, it's a merit, in construction and the very nature of the job helps curb your inattentive behaviors. Forgot what you were doing? No worries, champ. Contracts and job scopes are written down. Having a tough time? No problem: Everybody is embracing the suck and eating that same shit sandwich. Tempers flaring? Yep. They do that. Get the fuck over it and move on - what's this?! Everybody is getting over shit as fast as you?

                            So, apparently construction is full of peeps with ADHD, which makes sense, because we all rage against those fucking engineers.

                                @horrorhound Which is interesting, because engineering is full of people on the spectrum in one way or another.

                                We all rage against the architects, though, because what bloody idiot puts that there and this over here and that girder through the chimney and how the hell are we supposed to make any of this actually work?

                                  Engineers only have to make it work in theory. Not in practice.

                                  And everything works in theory.

                                    Huh? That's literally the opposite of any engineer I've ever interacted with. Electrical, mechanical, software... we have to make actual tangible things that work in practice.

                                      Hey, some of us have to make it work in practice too, you know.

                                      The term 'engineer' covers a lot of territory, from the person who designs new tech to the person who fixes the washing machine. And a lot of us work in the nebulous space where theoretical meets practical, because theory's cock all use if we can't make it work.

                                      About half my team have deep theoretical knowledge, the other half have at least a decade on tools, and there's one or two of us who've got experience across a lot of fields instead of in-depth knowledge of just one. It's the best team I've ever worked with, in several ways.

                                          Engineers are all about making things work in practice. I think you got something swapped mentally.
