I posted in an ADHD community about how I’m fed up with managing my symptoms and I think I finally need to talk to a professional. Someone tried to blame my symptoms on capitalism.

As someone who simply left Reddit because they took away RIF and only stays here because I’m stubborn, Lemmy is the left wing version of Truth Social. A great deal of the users here are the absolute embodiment of the people from Sanfrancisco in South Park huffing each others farts about how progressive they are.

Like, I get it and I do agree in principle on most things with Lemmy which is the only reason I dont leave, but make no mistake THE FEDIVERSE IS AN ECHO CHAMBER.

I saw what you did there.

Now in all fairness, inflation is a thing and in the last 10 years there has been a lot of noise about stopping fentanyl. Dont forget that the C is Customs.

Well if they dont I just dont watch them.

If it helps, theres 2 things I respect when it comes to content creators/youtubers/influencers.

1. They are rarely if ever on camera. Futurecanoe, GrogTV, early Babish, etc.

2. They are absolutely transparent about how they are making money and they dont try to monetise every avenue.

IMO Its appeal is that its a solid 8 out of 10 across the board.

The story is deep enough for adults but structured well enough for kids. It doesnt pander to boys or girls. No cheesy soundtrack or “scrappy do” bullshit. No terrible voice acting choices (Jack Black probably would have done a great job as Syndrome.) Dad kicks ass, Mom kicks ass. Its somehow almost a parody of a superhero movie while being better than most of them at being one. Somehow theres way less cinematic cringe bullshit than any Marvel movie. Its not just good as a kids movie or as an animated movie. Its a straight up GOOD MOVIE that you can put on for a room with 4 generations in it and its unlikely anyone will hate it.

Its no best movie ever made but I have a 6yo and when I hear “Can we watch The Incredibles?” It’s an automatic yes.

Sometimes a role needs Jack Black, he is perfect in High Fidelity.

Dr Mike from RP?

One of the fitness people I follow has two apps and he regularly tells his viewers “You dont NEED my apps to get great results, you dont NEED to watch my videos either. I just think they both help. Now just subscribing as a member is just money for me so you should definitely do that”

Which is a level of influencer honesty I can definitely get behind.

Ill die on this hill btw.

When a KFC meal is perfect its one of the best fried chicken experiences on earth. When you get everything fresh, well seasoned, drink is ice cold… Bruh… Problem is it almost never is either the bun is stale, the chips were cold, the chicken was dry, the burger has just way too fucking much mayo… theres always fucking something.

But that one perfect Zinger box you had 18 months ago will bring you back monthly to try again.

I dont think wagyu is overrated but I absolutely cannot justify the cost.

Just the ability to sit and watch a movie and not be constantly churning all the things I’m ignoring and really should be doing instead would be nice.

At least theres an active community for that hobby on Lemmy.

Capitalism didnt make me start 10 hobbies to give up once the hyperfixation and dopamine from buying the supplies wore off or make cleaning the house simultaneously an impossible job and impossible to ignore.

I just want to stop pissing me off.

Yeah thats what I meant about “within their niche” They try and buy the shit themselves for their hobby and have a storefront and only rep for products they reasonably stand behind.

Doing the “to the masses” type products dropshipping is usually a losing game because theres always someone more unscrupulous who will do more underhanded shit to be 10c per item cheaper.

I know people who have had good success with dropshipping but only within their hobby/interests niche. They freely admit that “This is the cheap chinese one but it gets the job done.” And word gets around that they are trustworthy and reliable.

Also and I hate to say it, a lot of indie titles are shit.

Like yes I cant do it, yes its a big achievement for an amateur, massive respect for having a go but… Bruh this just isnt very good.

Tactics was great. I wish there were sequels to it.

Whichever is cheaper.

I would say you’re pretty much on the money only in the region of 1000sq for a single person being “optimal” once you take into account storage spaces, bathrooms, balconies, and so on. A kitchen for one and a bathroom is likely the same size as for a couple. A couple doesnt need a noticable amount more room than one person. Add kids and immediately double it… they have a lot of stuff.
