    Ok, doesn’t change the fact that clocks weren’t available to the layman until a couple centuries ago.

    We did not evolve to be sensitive to the passage of time.

    It’s a thing whether you like it or not. Your preference for punctuality is a learned behavior, not something that everyone else has.

      It’s a skill which can be practiced. Making excuses to avoid doing that doesn’t help anyone.

        That’s funny, because every time I’ve been in a group effort at uni or the office, the late folks were the neurotypicals while those with ADHD showed up early.

        Which is a polite way of saying, you’re full of shit, a fucking atrocious human being, and you statistically make less money than me who has a literal disability 👍

        Edit: and of course it’s a lemm.ee fascist. Typical.

        Imagine being colorblind and someone trying to explain what purple looks like. Seeing purple is not a skill, either you have the receptors in your eyes or your don’t. The ability to sense time is similar. It is not a skill.

        Damn, I used to believe that because I could do something it was possible if not easy for everybody else to do that thing. I’m ashamed to admit that I felt that way well into my thirties.

        Then (way, way too late in my life) I somehow realized that not everyone was the same as I am, and I learned a little thing called empathy.

        Yes, and it’s a skill that not everyone else values the way you do. It doesn’t make you better than anyone. It probably increases your stress level.
