Let sleeping dogs lie + lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas

It takes a village to raise a child + your village is looking for its idiot

I remember almost always being hungry when I was a kid, and being constantly punished for serving myself a "piggy" amount of food etc.

My ADHD and insomnia went untreated until college because my dad and his (now) ex didn't believe I actually had ADHD (because I had interests I could focus on, when I actually had access to them) or needed medication. I think if I wanted to overeat, it was probably for several reasons:

First, I read it was discovered in the late 00s (when I was already in college) that insomnia causes overeating and obesity.

Second, high blood sugar was the one thing I'd ever had access to that could increase my attention span, so naturally when I was trying to read a book and just couldn't follow it, "ask for some bread and jam, it's helped before" would reach the top of my list of options before long.

Third, I was living with chronic anxiety because my dad's ex was so good at finding faults in everything I did. She made me follow a checklist and "check in" before taking leisure time, and then she inevitably found a reason not to actually give me any leisure time. Then she punished me for "stealing" what little leisure time I occasionally managed to extract, implying I didn't have any time that was supposed to be mine.

Delaying my puberty may have helped my brain catch up with my body a bit (I didn't have any hair down there until I was 17, and the last time I was violent at school was at age 13), but I can't help thinking that even in the early 00s there would probably have been safer ways to do it than by keeping me chronically hungry.

ETA: If this is somehow the wrong subreddit for this sort of topic, then please let me know what a better option would be, and I'll repost it there. I know this isn't a parentally-induced-chronic-hunger-support subreddit, but neither is any other sub I've been able to find, and I have reason to think my case wouldn't have happened if I'd been neurotypical -- and might not if I'd fit comfortably into just one diagnosis, or into two diagnoses that were considered compatible by rural Canadian "experts" in the late 90s.

I learned this past weekend that LinkedIn has an ID verification feature. So I tried to verify myself, but failed because it doesn't accept US Permanent Resident Cards or expired passports.

I don't drive, and my state charges a fee to issue a state ID, with no discount for being on unemployment benefits. I'm also looking for a new place to live with lower rent, so unless it's absolutely necessary for my job search, I don't want to get an address that will be out of date in 2 months printed on a new ID.

Is LinkedIn's ID verification actually a necessity for finding remote work, in the current low-trust US environment and in a field with as much foreign infiltration as software engineering? (I'm not a security specialist and don't intend to apply for defense-adjacent work.) Or will the companies that care about it prefer to use their own systems anyway?

ETA: I already have my previous work email verified, which was at one of the Big Tech firms.

Only fills the top 1/8 of the block (making it AFAIK the first solid-top block that isn't as deep as a slab). Breaks like Frosted Ice when a player or heavy mob (player-sized or larger humanoid, horse/donkey/mule with a player or heavy-mob rider, ravager or hoglin) stands still on it, but doesn't melt faster than normal ice. Can be waterlogged.
