    Cleaning your cup in an already immaculate kitchen is like a vacation activity. I enjoyed pottery painting too but im not going to start doing it at home.

        A lot of the “traits” I had that I connected to my ADHD was ironically not from the internet but from this book by Michele Novotni, PhD “What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don’t”. When I did, I functioned way better. If I learned earlier I wouldn’t have suffered and lost lifelong opportunities.

        I’m actually writing a book on this. Take RSD, the new darling of ADHD “influencers”, for example: the concept that fear of rejection is an ADHD trait, and that non ADHD people ignore rejection is so preposterous it makes me mad.

        Think of the whole sociodynamics of teen and young adulthood, for example, or the billion dollar industries based on catering to people’s fear of rejection. Most people crave acceptance, praise, being valued, etc. We are social animals.

        Lots more in the book.

        I’m wring the book in spurts of hyper focus, with days or weeks between these, of course. We do have major, objective challenges.

          charcuterie: love it but it’s a lot more difficult now that both meat and milk hurt tummy :(

          mechanical keyboards: now this one I don’t get, personally. i need my peripherals to be as quiet and compact as possible for sensory filtering and portability

            You can do quiet and compact, mechanical, believe it or not! In that case, in my opinion, it would be all about the tactile sensations.

          If you look into ergonomic keyboards, vast majority of mechanical keyboards look like trash afterwards.

          … is there a wrong number? We can forgive people for discovering it late in life and not watching it enough I think.

          I haven’t watched since it went to paramount+.

              I like The Next Generation, I think it’s a great entry point.

              The consensus is to grit through much of the first season, after which it gets good.

              You start at the beginning. The original series and ‘The Next Generation’ should keep you occupied for a while. The movies are mostly bleh, maybe choose by RottenTomatoes. ‘Deep Space Nine’ and ‘Voyager’ seem to be alright, haven’t watched them myself.

              Also, watching ‘Red Dwarf’ after ‘TNG’ works splendidly.

      I lived with a friend for a month while he didn’t have a place, my apartment has never before or after been so clean. I guess it’s because I don’t want other people see how messy I am, so I end up being not messy.

      i just moved in with a roommate who’s barely ever home and I’ve done more cleaning in the last 2 months than I have in 5 years lol

      she’s not even a neat freak but my brain is like “we have to keep the apartment tidy because another human lives here.” my mean fuckin brain… I’m a human too why didn’t I deserve a clean apartment when I lived alone ;_;

        When I lived alone I ended up airbnbing my spare room. It was sometimes stressful, but it meant my house was constantly tidy. As soon it was just me the entire house would sink in to madness.

    Even the expression. That resting bitch face, that says “I’m so good with the dishes, i even enjoy doing it”

    At home i stare at the dishes far too long and it’s painful doing them.

        Oh I missed the sponge.

        I thought this was one of “only poor people drink from the tap” memes.

        Rich people drink fridge, or bottled water.

          it tends to be the opposite, doesn’t it though? poor people are more likely to live in places where tap water isn’t good for drinking so they buy bottled
