Below is an anonymous poll for.. reasons.

I’m pretty open about it. Found out last year. First I watched THIS VIDEO, which really hit home in some spots (especially the bridge jump thing), then I started wondering and went and got professionally tested. Basically I checked every box and rang every bell on the test.

What I wonder is, why so many people weren’t surprised at all, and yet nobody bothered to mention it to me for 50 YEARS!!!

Also it turns out that the nonstimulant drugs they try so hard to get you on at first, cause me to HULK OUT emotionally. Absolutely turned me into a right proper raging asshat.

Finally got the right prescription, really got myself balanced out. And… No job = no insurance = no drugs. So that sucketh. I’m with the rest of the world on this one, basic health needs shouldn’t be income based.

I gather it’s a bit like looking at a chubby lady and trying to guess if they’re pregnant or not.. you don’t just go “oh hey how far along are you?” .. talking to people about “health stuff” you think they might have is pretty taboo right across the board. So nobody going “Oh hey I think your brain needs chemical help to sort out your executive function, don’t you think?” is not a shock at all really.

I get what your saying, but it’s not just acquaintances, I’m talking every bit of family and CLOSE friends I’ve ever had. The very people who are supposed to ask the insulting and edge case questions. I don’t really do people very well, and that colors my expectations of what other people should do, but damn, ya know?

The irony is that acquaintances aren’t comfortable bringing it up, but family and old friends may have blindness to it because you’ve always been this way and any behavioral changes that presented themselves appeared slowly over time, making recognizing them difficult. It’s the same reason you yourself didn’t recognize it. Even in the video you linked the girls brother got diagnosed and she recognized the symptoms in herself but it took years to actually come to realize what it meant.

On a side note, I really relate to Limitless now.

@Pilgrimsmaster

so I worked out, because I am using an eSim, Korea blocks access to their .kr tourist websites

@Pilgrimsmaster

once you finally get all the way through to check out, You need a Korean Credit card,

Sounds like living in America. So many services are denied because I don’t have a “valid US phone number.” Including wiring money. I can’t even send money to my own mother. (Gah, I wish we could get a working cryptocurrency solution so we don’t have to rely on “payment services providers” just to be able to participate in the economy!)

Oh, and butter is meant for toast, not coffee.

You need a Korean Credit card

Not long after my post above
I managed to find a workaround.

This will likely not be of interest to anybody here, but I will share it just incase ANYBODY in the same situation I was in stumbles across this post.

Let me re-frame it so a search result may direct them here.

How to Pay & Book Activities Online in Korea Without a Local Credit Card

If you are a non-Korean resident trying to book activities, tickets, or shop online on Korean websites, you’ve likely run into the same roadblock I did:

Korea’s payment systems usually require a Korean credit card.

If you are stuck in this situation, fear not, there is a workaround using a local prepaid Debit Card.

The Problem with T-Money

Most travelers know about T-Money. It’s a fantastic public transit card that can also be used as currency at many convenience stores and physical retail shops.

• Cost: A standard physical T-Money card costs between 3,000 to 5,000 KRW (approx. USD$2 to USD$4) depending on where you buy it or if it is a special character edition.
• The Catch: It is not a true debit card, and you generally have to reload it with physical cash at metro terminals or convenience stores. Which is ironically, not very convenient.
• More importantly, it won’t help you with online domestic bookings.

The Workaround / Solution: NAMANE Card

A great alternative for foreigners is the NAMANE Card. Unlike a standard T-Money card, the NAMANE Card features two separate, built-in digital wallets that you can manage directly from an app:

• Transit Balance: Used just like a regular transport card for buses, subways, and trains. (accepted everywhere T-Money is)
• Pay Balance: Functions like a domestic prepaid debit card.
• Cost: A standard NAMANE card costs 7,000 KRW (approx. USD$5) at local kiosks, which also allows you to fully customize the front of the card with your own photo.
  You can easily move funds between these two wallets instantly in the app.
• There are plenty of places to buy them, but they are notvas prevalent as T-Money options, but you will likely arrive somewhere that has a kiosk nearby; I used the website to locate a NAMANE kiosk near me.

Details:

1. No Resident ID Required: You can purchase and set up the card via kiosks across Korea (including airports) without needing a passport scan or local phone verification.
2. App Top-Ups: You can reload your balance directly in the NAMANE app using your international credit card (Visa/Mastercard) or digital wallets like Alipay+, avoiding the cash-only terminal headache.

Thanks.
I’ve been there for an overnight stop over and intend on going back for about a week, so this will be very helpful advice.

@TSMC55

Awesome,
helping a rando on the internet is good;
helping somebody I like, priceless.

Any questions before you go, drop me a PM

[TSMC55]

Thanks. Seriously.

I will. My situation is a little fluid at the moment and am not sure whether I am going back to Italy, Germany and France at Christmas or not. If not then a quick trip to Korea may be in order.

Also I am across the ditch in Arrowtown in about three weeks if you are anywhere near there, and home, and thirsty.

They’re laughing, but honestly if you import these robots into your country and into your homes and workplaces, you are literally importing future soldiers the minute the CCP decides to turn on “kill all humans” mode.
