Some ADHD folks have something called "justice sensitivity"[0]. Put plainly, we get more bothered than neurotypical folks by actions and events we view as morally wrong.
I can't say for certain that this is caused by my ADHD or not, but I have a "sensitivity" to dark patterns. That is to say, dark patterns bug me more than they probably should.
Hiding the pricing until after signup is a dark pattern. It's a clear case of the company optimizing for their interests over mine and they are therefore unworthy of my trust (or so my brain tells me). After all, what other user-hostile design decisions are they going to make?
What ends up happening is that my brain puts its guard up, and keeps it up. It's constantly on the lookout for more subtle tricks and corner cutting.
Furthermore, I'm offended that they think I'm that stupid (but that's probably the developer in me and not my ADHD).
The landing page piqued my interest but then let me down. Hard. Not because $40 a month (as reported by another user here) is too much, but because I find dark patterns to be morally repugnant.
I just wanted to clarify, this app is COMPLETELY FREE. There is no cost.
The cost you're seeing is for our other product that includes live body doubling (co-working) sessions that are guided by our ADHD coaches. I think I might remove that link or move it to the bottom. Sorry for the confusion!
"Justice Sensitivity" isn't a condition or a binary trait that you either have or you don't. It's a measurement in some psychological studies where they ask subjects to rate subjective injustices. The study that page links actually shows the ADHD kids having lower perpetrator justice sensitivity so it's not really that simple either, which I'll expand on below.
That Edge Foundation website isn't a good resource. It's SEO filler content for them to feed their coaching sales funnel.
The actual study it linked is more informative. They surveyed a group of kids about their reaction to different scenarios of injustice and also ADHD traits. They found a positive correlation between ADHD and sensitivity to injustice from the victim perspective, but substantially lower sensitivity to injustice from the perpetrator perspective.
Given that this study was purely in 10-19 year olds (mostly children) and the opposite results for victim and perpetrator injustice, I suspect it's just measuring emotional maturity among the kids. The study also noticed a high correlation with angry and anxious responses, which further supports the correlation to emotional and interpersonal maturity.
And just to add, I also have the justice sensitivity! Because of that, even our other service (ADHD coaching) has all the prices VERY clearly on the home page. It includes the monthly price in big font and a clear summary of what's included in each package. https://www.shimmer.care/
That's what you got after seeing stat after stat of Canadians choosing different options than American ones? In everything from groceries to travel and cultural consumption? That's what you took from that article? "It can only be because they can't afford it"?
BTW, your "source" is an AI generated article by a local blog. It's not news.
> BTW, your "source" is an AI generated article by a local blog. It's not news
Actually, it is AI generated + Human edited (with links to StatsCan for the numbers), and is very interesting "news-to-me" wrt the breakdowns by province.
Well then you'll be happy to know they auto generate these every time new statistics get released[0] and they all read nearly identically. We used to call this SEO spam.
Anyways, the person I responded to used a quote from the article to support their point, but that quote isn't sourced, because, well, it's clearly opinion masquerading as fact. And since there's no author, no-one has to answer for it, or support their assertion with logic, facts and reasoning.
Added: The entire premise... that there is a sudden wave of inter-provincial migration is nonsense. As is the claim that there is a wave of emigration.
It's nothing personal but I clicked your link enthusiastically and was greeted with nothing but clickbait thumbnails.
"THIS COMMON MEDICATION IS DANGEROUS FOR ADHD WOMEN!" & "THIS STRANGE HABIT IN PREGNANCY INCREASES THE RISK OF ADHD!" are just two examples.
I'm sure it's a good podcast but I find this practice distasteful at best and absolutely abhorrent when you're directly targeting mental health patients with poor impulse control and self-regulation issues.
(I want to emphasize that I know you mean well :-) )
1) Over a hundred Spanish soldiers died defending America as part of the Afghanistan war. How many Americans have died defending Spain in a hot war since the founding of NATO?
2) The linked article doesn't say what you claim it says. The Cdn. military is advising the government to go ahead with the entire F-35 purchase. That doesn't necessarily mean the civilian government will agree. We just don't know yet.

How many times has Spain been attacked? Not a great argument.
And just to make sure the record is very clear I am very grateful for our allies and their contributions, particularly to the war in Afghanistan, but that’s Afghanistan, it’s not Russia or China. And Spain in particular is unwilling to increase defense spending - why is that?

They’ll buy. Also the OP said
“Portugal and Canada also both lost interest in American F-35s recently.”
Did they lose interest? Doesn’t appear to be the case for Canada.
>How many times has Spain been attacked? Not a great argument.
It's a perfect argument. You declared that Spain (and Portugal) would likely not help in a NATO action. Yet, recent history proves you directly and unequivocally wrong. Spanish blood was spilled to prove that point, so maybe have some respect?
>How many times has Spain been attacked? Not a great argument.
>...
>And Spain in particular is unwilling to increase defense spending - why is that?
You answered your own question. Well done.
Note: I'm not supporting their decision, just pointing out that it's arguably quite rational from a certain point of view.
Lastly, the linked article still doesn't say what you claimed it said. If you were responding to a falsehood, that doesn't excuse confidently posting another falsehood.
> It's a perfect argument. You declared that Spain (and Portugal) would likely not help in a NATO action. Yet, recent history proves you directly and unequivocally wrong. Spanish blood was spilled to prove that point, so maybe have some respect?
Not all wars are created equal. It’s not the same thing. You either are unrealistic about how the world works or you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.

OP
> Portugal and Canada also both lost interest in American F-35s recently.
Canada’s military
> we Strongly recommend and encourage buying F-35s
But hey you know at least I provided a source… so I’ll just throw the OP’s claim away since they are unable to provide a source.
> You answered your own question. Well done.
Yes, and it demonstrated the point that I made. QED
>Not all wars are created equal. It’s not the same thing. You either are unrealistic about how the world works or you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.
It's very simple. You said you didn't think Spain would ever "fight alongside US forces in Europe or elsewhere". I pointed out that recent history unequivocally proves you wrong. But instead of conceding the point you're changing the criteria to some imaginary scenario that makes it impossible for anyone to counter-argue.
So yes, you're right... I have no idea how Spain would respond to some imaginary scenario playing out in your head right now. But I do know what their actual, historical record is. There are dead and maimed soldiers that prove it.
It's such a disgrace for American civilians to make up some vague hidden criteria for why allied deaths and injuries don't "count". Furthermore, it's exactly this kind of demeaning talk that might makes allies not want to help in the future.
I’m not trying anything because it should have been implemented before launch natively. Not years after as part of some Product manager promotion cycle. Not installing a fix is how Apple wants me to use my machine by default in a broken state.
I mostly work attached to a monitor. I will continue to work how I like, I don’t own a Macbook outside of work. I will continue not installing custom untrusted software just because a bunch of “fans” online told me to do it. I will continue complaining about it. All of that BECAUSE I enjoy the entropy it causes more than actually using the piece of garbage laptop.
I can do a lot of things instead of write that comment. And installing work arounds for a trillion dollar company with an attitude problem is not one of them. Give attitude, get attitude.
What’s weird is being a complacent drone even though you understand the issue.
This is cool, well done. Is there an advantage over putting a folder in the dock?
Even if there isn't, I might find it useful because I currently have my dock set to only show running apps (one side effect of that mode is that folder stacks no longer work).
Thanks! I didn’t know about that Dock setting where folder stacks disappear if you only show running apps — that’s interesting.
One advantage here is that you can drag files directly from the menu into other apps or Finder, and even open it instantly with a keyboard shortcut for quick drag-and-drop.
Glad to hear it might still be useful for your setup!
Thanks for clarifying—my mistake if I misunderstood, but I actually tested it on my setup and found I could drag and drop items directly from a folder in the Dock. Apologies if I misinterpreted the limitation!
We've released a new version(v0.1.0). You can now preview image files, text files, audio files, and more. Multiple selections and drag-and-drop are also supported. Please download and try it out if you'd like.

P.S. I struggled to write this as its first thing in the morning and I haven't even had coffee.
