Now we are getting into the quantum physics question of if the universe is discrete or continuous. Which seems to be unsolved.

So I guess that's my answer. If the universe is discrete then there are finite genders, and if it's continuous then there could be infinite genders.

I'm no mathematician, but I don't think that's how it works. A quick Google says there are 100 billion neurons. So you would have 100000000000! possible combinations, unfathomably large, but finite. Granted, a human brain is more complex than the configuration of neurons, but I don't know how it becomes infinite.

I'm also way past the point of overthinking this.

I thought something similar, but the human brain is finite, so I don't think a single person could have an uncountably infinite gender; unfathomably large, maybe, but it would still be finite.

Edit: I'm not trying to be bigoted here. If someone does identify that way I don't want to discredit your identity.

Yeah, I got to that point in my thinking and then just gave up and posted my first thought.

I'm way overthinking this, but I'm going with finite. It could be an unfathomably large number, but gender is a human construct and there are a finite number of humans. Let's say each human that ever lives has a unique gender identity - there could be billions or trillions, but it would still be finite.

Wow, I didn't expect an expert to chime in.

I'm a software consultant and juggle multiple accounts without issue in Outlook. Whenever the authentication expires I have to sign in again in a bunch of places, but that only happens once a month.

Islam believes in most of the Jesus story; that he was the Messiah, he was born of a virgin, and performed miracles. However it differs where they believe that Jesus is not the Son of God nor was he resurrected.

But yeah, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Baha'i are the major Abrahamic religions and worship the same monotheistic God.

With the power of AI

Here's a TLDR of your text:

  • ADHD brains are well-suited to tech jobs. They thrive on the variety and urgency of IT work.
  • Success requires balance. You can't rely on high-stress situations to focus long-term.
  • Your experience is your asset. Learn to translate your instincts into process improvements others can understand.
  • You'll need new skills. Develop time management and task completion skills to progress.
  • Other ADHD-friendly careers exist. Consider EMTs, kitchen staff, or machine operators where focus and pattern recognition are key.

Haha, yeah, free. I totally haven't spent hundreds of dollars on the game. It's over a decade with thousands of hours though. I haven't really played the last couple years though, but that's mostly because I have small children and a career

Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you've done some good work you can start relying more on word of mouth and charge more.

I would recommend doing some small jobs on Fiverr or Upwork. Contracting isn't for everyone, nor is running a small business. Fiverr and Upwork will be pretty disconnected from your local contacts so if you mess up or decide it's not for you then it's easier to leave.

Ultimately it's networking, instead of rolling your eyes when an acquaintance has an app idea you can offer to help.
