    I have never done this, and I’ve been on long term sick leave for 15 years due to my executive disfunction/action paralysis. I have gone months without changing bedclothes but not once taken them off without having clean ones to put on at the same time. I’m pretty sure this is a problem from something else and not what’s stated.

    On the other side of this; I often feel like people think they already know what’s being said and then interrupt or at least show that they aren’t listening anymore but they actually don’t know. So all that ends up happening is that they misunderstand and now the whole conversation has gotten bad. It’s very common for people to say stuff to give context, and that might sound like that’s all they’re saying but they are just making sure the listener is aware of that context. And when people explain things over and over with different words it just means they’re doing their best to describe something in a specific way and translating that into a conversation is not easy. It’s either because they themselves aren’t satisfied with how they said it and are actually showing you respect by really trying to find the right words. Or it’s because they see that your understanding of what they said isn’t what they really meant.

    Don’t ever think you know exactly what someone is saying until they show you they are satisfied with both their own explanation and your replies that show you understand. Show some respect to people by giving them the extra few seconds or minutes to get to where they need, especially with friends and family.

    A reoccurring thing throughout my whole life with friends and acquaintances that have ADHD is just this, they think they know the whole story and that there’s nothing more to it and that every second after that is wasted time etc. but SO many times that is a huge mistake. And it can easily fuck up relationships, it’s not a good thing.

    And just to be clear: I have ADHD, though mine works pretty differently than how it does for the vast majority of people. In no way saying better or worse, those words don’t exist in this topic for me, just differently. And every single person is different from the next, both including and excluding any kind of “disorder” (not a fan ot the word). Just saying that I see similarities with the vast majority of people that have a diagnosis (or not but are clearly on the spectrum) and have only ever met two people who have the same “wavelength” as me in this.







  • It’s definitely not only that.
    I and, from what I’ve seen discussed here and elsewhere online, many other people have stopped watching the channel because of many valid reasons completely unrelated to AI. I haven’t watched a single one of their videos for years, something changed in their content and I just lost interest. Then there have been several controversial events throughout the years, both objective bad stuff and subjective things that made many loose interest and faith in their integrity. They definitely became one of the many channels that lost it’s way because of how big it got. The animations became too “perfect” in a weird way, they lost their personality and they also got scared of having real opinions so they started doing this “all sides” shit and that’s when I tapped out. I’ve tried to watch new videos from them about once every 6 months or so, but I can’t even make it past a minute without completely loosing interest.



  • Both, kinda. I want to wear socks all the time but I can’t stop myself from picking at them so they get holes within a few days. And I have sweaty feet so I always get lint stick between my toes, never found any sock that doesn’t do that. So even though I want to wear them all the time there are enough annoyances from them to make me only wear them when I go to somewhere other than my apartment where I’ll take my shoes off, like a friends place.



  • I use an old Sony TV from around 2008 as my monitor, I can turn on the TV and via my laptop screen shut the laptop down then manually boot again and it’ll be fully booted before the TV is ready and showing the desktop. Got it from my neighbours when they tried to throw it out, it’s not amazing but I’m very happy to have it as I wouldn’t have anything other than the even more shitty 720p laptop screen otherwise.
