I’m not sure to what extent it’s actually manifesting differently or being masked better than institutional bias against the idea of women having ADHD - diagnoses are about 3x more rare for women…

But the inverse also applies - there’s not much stopping wizards from portkeying/apparating into the Oval Office or the pentagon and magibombing them, or Avada-ing key targets. Wizards are probably the worst kind of guerrilla fighters - ones unchecked by range. And as far as food is concerned, food multiplication is a thing. I personally believe that in the long term, the way muggles would win would be through subverting wizards, not by pure overwhelming force.
But they were able to setup the core of their commercial and governance infrastructure in the middle of London, with no particular notice from muggles - not to mention, we know that the government already knows about wizards (MoM liaises with the PM). So there must be a quid pro quo already in place, with the government tolerating and aiding in the existence of a semi-independent polity in their heartlands in return for unspecified benefits, probably defence against foreign wizards.
True enough, the capabilities of Magic haven’t been explored enough canonically to disprove that - but if the government learned of Magic, the first thing they’d do is subvert some wizards to their side, who might be able to counteract them - in many ways, it’s a battle of statecraft as it is of actual power.
I personally think it depends on exactly what the limits of Magic are - it could be anything from Muggles eradicating Wizards, to the opposite, all very plausibly. To me, it comes down to the power of modern surveillance vs. the power of notice-me-not + space-expansion + anti-detection spells. Plus there’s a whole bunch of other powerful spells and devices (time turners, for example), but the muggles have a while fuckton of gold and other valuables to recruit these capabilities to their side as well.
Why do I see numerous suspicious deaths of various government officials in the future? I wonder…
Nonetheless, it is hopefully an excellent Forrest step in tackling the various organised crime syndicates of the world.
I never submitted any of my 10th or 12th grade reports on time, since I found them excessively tedious. And virtually all of my assignments in uni were completed last minute.
A lot of symptoms associated with ADHD make procrastination more likely
I know people shit a lot on deep dish, but the sheer amount of cheese… I’m in love.
Exactly! Same with my landlady’s cats! I can play with them if I want to, and have no obligation to feed them or anything!
Shocked, I tell you, shocked
I have to admit, the US’s policies are probably destroying what little credibility it has in the Global South, showing that the so-called “rules based international order” is not worth the air it is spoken with…
To be fair, the Azerbaijani government hates Armenia plenty enough even without Turkey being involved.
Only 300m to fight an invader but 14b to butcher children and civilians in general? Wow Biden, much nice, you’re definitely the better option. Edit: I’m definitely not pro-Trump, I’m just one of many, many fed up people who hoped for something other than a Biden-Trump rematch. But I guess fanatics gonna be fanatics.
In my case, it was to increase the number of available job opportunities rather than any genuine interest.
Protests that are suppressed will evolve into riots that will bring change.
When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and then kneecap life while it’s distracted trying to figure out how the hell you did it
