It’s very common to want to quit something once the charm of learning something new fades into the chore of repetitive practice. Even more so with ADHD.
I need to subdivide to do anything complex, and sometimes I leverage that skill for motivation. I break down the task into whatever size pieces are small enough for me to take the next step. Sometimes my entire first step is ‘stand up.’
Excellent analogy.
I used, “Why do starving people have distended stomachs? They can’t be starving with those big bellies, right?”
The ship is more accurate and less upsetting, although shock can sometimes be compelling through cognitive dissonance. I think from now on I’ll start with the ship and progress from there.

How do people cope with repeated exposure to trauma? If you ask any first responder, it’ll be sarcasm every time. Dehumanizing the situation is a defense mechanism for psychological survival.
What is the point of all of the rageful, hateful fearmongering about ‘foreigners’ from right wing media?
This is the point.
The ones serving up the ads aren’t even the ones listening. They’re buying collated data from many different sources, then their algorithm matches your interests with one of the products they’re contracted to sell. Next thing you know you’re looking at a Rolex ad because you zoomed in on someone’s watch on their Instagram post.
I agreed that you’re technically correct. Just like POTUS technically has no authority over SCOTUS, but some presidents get to appoint more justices than others.
You’re saying there’s a system. I’m agreeing and saying the system is flawed.
Technically, sure, but the DOJ is overseen by the AG, who is appointed by the President. That ‘balance’ created in 1870 is not well checked by our system.
No problem!
Are you for real? He’s the leader of the Justice Department that charged Luigi with terrorism in the first place.
Thanks to Trump, we now know that Luigi could be elected while imprisoned.
He wouldn’t need Trump’s changes. A US president has unlimited power of pardon of federal (not state) charges, with the exceptions of impeachment related crime and self-pardons. The President can even pardon citizens before they’re charged with a crime, like Carter did for the Vietnam draft-dodgers.
Trump’s immunity change by SCOTUS blurs the self-pardon line a bit by allowing POTUS to commit crimes without repercussion as long as they are “official acts,” whatever that means. That change is more forward-thinking, making it far easier for his team to plan his crimes.
They failed to mention the new CEO.

Good eye. Turns out they’re both frames from a video.
Here’s the original photo before the low-quality noise reduction and oversaturation, in case anyone else is interested.
That was partially because older PCs had rectangular pixels vs a Mac’s square pixels. Square pixels translated better to other mediums.
Edit: I just realized that was more like 25 years ago. God I’m old.
Credit cards should be used exclusively for discounts and to build your credit. Only use them if you have the resources to pay the balance in full every month so you’ll never pay interest.

You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol
According to the WSJ, missiles are now the largest threat to airline passengers.
Statistically speaking, the natural predator of the airplane is now Vladimir Putin. Lol

People would eventually begin to realize the futility of possessions and start to live truly free lives.
