  • 2fa does not provide any protection for this. This wasn’t a hack or compromise of an account. It was the personal information of their supporters put up on the public web available to anyone and everyone.

    As a Network and System Administrator in the healthcare field I am taken aback by what appears to be FVC’s laze-fair response.

    Note that although my information was a part of this, this doesn’t really affect myself. The information published is already publicly available in a number of places online. I have also publicly stated my support for the work of Fair Vote Canada. But that is privileges I enjoy. There are many people for whom having this information leaked would be problematic and potentially dangerous.

    I’ve seen suggestions of a link between ADHD and restless leg syndrome in the past, but that was many years ago. Checking Wikipedia’s RLS page now it states up to 44% of people with ADHD also have RLS.

    I did have issues with it as a child, but was able to get it under control in early adulthood. Although around the same period I also started on Strattera and anti-anxiety medications - so maybe that helped sort it out.

    I noticed it says placebos to be very effective, maybe you can get some of those OTC 😆








  • I had ChatGPT make a press release for them to help make the streets of Norfolk County safer:

  • Complete and utter garbage. The police in Canada are truly a place where the corrupt and incompetent go to prosper. I live a hop skip and a jump from where this incident occurred.

    Shit I’ve been through where charges weren’t brought. A person in Barrie (while I was stopped there to charge the car) pulled a knife on me and said he cut me. A person in the town here via SMS said they would fuck me up. As a child, the father of the kid who stole my brother’s backpack threw a rock the size of a golf ball at me and hit me in the leg (the cop who investigated I learned was a friend of the child abuser and played in the same hockey league with him).

    Please tell me someone is organizing a protest of some sort at this OPP office. Maybe we can organize a water toy amnesty program at this office.





  • That is awful. I hope you can find relief somewhere.

    I’ve been lucky and the drugs are a godsend for me, despite having the gene that makes me hyper metabolize stimulants (which basically means they don’t last long enough in my system).

    It is seriously under-appreciated how awful this disorder is in the modern world - especially if you are not of the wealthier classes.
