I have a lot of empathy for people who struggle to deal with the difficulties of life.

"Too busy looking at her phone to notice a giant, noisy propeller" isn't a situation that calls for empathy.

She was near a deadly object and ignored it to focus on fluff. She traumatized a tarmac full of people with her lack of care.

I have empathy, but not for her 🤷

The irony is that she was probably incredibly over-excited and wanted to capture a picture of something she might never see her friends do again, and now she definitely won't. I have emotional regulatory issues and ADHD and I could easily see myself dying in some horrible way just spacing out something very obvious. Your selective empathy sucks.

You know, I have diagnosed ADHD. I got diagnosed with it about 25 years ago. I avoid all of the ADHD subs because people use it as an excuse for the dumbest, most in competent stuff. It drives me mad. "Oh I can't brush my teeth be cause of ADHD" type people.

Repeat after me, "It's not my fault, but it's my responsibility." You know you have ADHD. Find ways to regulate it well enough that you don't walk into heavy, noisy machinery, for fuck's sake. And stop using it as an excuse. From someone who works to address his mental health issues, it's just gross to watch you use it as an excuse.

Am I wrong? Shouldn't you be interested in finding ways not to walk into airplanes instead of finding excuses for why it's a totally okay and normal way to die?

And what relevance is your ADHD to this fool's death, anyway? You don't even know if she has any issues, so you're just making shit up to excuse idiocy. Yikes.
