A lot of this applies to me and I’ve been to a bunch of therapists for ADHD.

I’m doing the career for which I went to school, but I find fast-paced jobs. I know all sorts of useful stuff from decades of unfocused Wikipedia, which creates a “Texas sharpshooter” illusion of organized education. If I don’t put something on the schedule, then don’t count on it happening at all.

It’s extremely difficult for me to pay $80 for a game already!

I’m not sure I could even enjoy it anymore - the satire on the radio will hit different after this. And my non-gamer friends would just see a scab.

Same thing as return to office. It’s not even about the money, it’s about power and control.

This thread: “It’s because of all the assholes! Why, nearly everybody I meet here is an asshole!”

Nobody tell him what happens to the mice afterwards.

I wish I could go back in time and tell my boomer family members to keep using email instead of Facebook. They were right and we were wrong. Now they’re the only reason I still have a Facebook account.

Yes actually. I loves me some weed too, but society has no right to put you under this pressure.

Bored people discover and create all sorts of useful stuff. Your thoughts are worth having! Yes even those thoughts. You deserve to be happy as the person you were born to be. ❤️

Me: Sorry, what was that you said?

NT: Nevermind

Me: But I’m asking!

NT: Don’t worry it’s no big deal

Me: [suppressing extreme grief over what was certainly a big deal]

Oh man if they started judging my performance by AI use, it would certainly increase but not in the way they want.

I can’t find any similar graphs for before 1945, does anybody know where I could find the data?

We should get some FOSS gait analysis

The most profitable decision for MS is to leave the golden goose alone.

It’s really a bunch of separate tips. For example if you’ve got to clean the apartment, just try to clean the hallway first.

Ooh I know what I’m using as variable names this week
