Haha, doing the voices! I give them different accents in my mind, like southern Murican, Indian, Russian.

God I hate AWS

Last year I tried to go off medication because I had been on it (extended release ritalin) for seven years and wanted to see where I was (and I had been laid off so I was less scared of work impact and was keen for things to be a bit different). Did that for half a year and then went back to the doctor. Tried Strattera because I thought it might be milder on the stomach - it did nothing for me. Then we tried lisdexamfetamine because it has a reputation for “being better” and my doctor thinks it’s great. And I really tried and varied the dose and so on but it is less effective for me and has more side effects. So now I’m back on Ritalin but trying without time release. Anyway, long story. Just wanted to say that I think high doses of stimulants can make me a bit more anxious and scatterbrained rather than the other way like it’s supposed to. And that Adderall isn’t necessarily better than Ritalin just because it’s more expensive and more “hardcore”.

And I think all the other advice here about writing down a conversation agenda is much more important - not for social bonding conversations of course, only those with a goal. Just wanted to point out that medication adjustment is never ending for this stuff. And maxed out stimulant plus Strattera sounds like a doctor who just upped her prescriptions until they were max and then went “welp, that’s all I can do, bye”.

Finally, a tiny bit of the problem could also be you. Tiny, miniscule bit. Some conversations are just social bonding. They don’t have a purpose and if they meander over lots of topics and shift abruptly that’s fine. It might be a bit uncomfortable for some people, especially if they like scientific rigor and structure. And you might have developed a little antipathy towards those kinds of conversations if your important conversations also get similarly derailed. I certainly would. So written notes for important conversations and space and patience and love for other conversations 😘

There’s poor emotional regulation but adrenalin is also self-medication. So screaming at other people gets your adrenaline up which helps you focus and feel good. Obviously unhealthy and sucks for everybody around you. Very toxic.

Never finish because you are overwhelmed, perfectionist, and scared of change

You can’t tell it no. In the tusk case just start over. Never use “don’t do this, don’t do that” instead use incompatible behaviour (e.g. I hate when my friend’s dog jumps on me so I’ve trained it to sit when greeting me).

Dude looks really young. Is she a pedo or vampire or something?

Remove the broken leg. Stack books to replace it.

An MCP server can also just be an interface to something useful but simple like a calculator.

Solve physics and kill god

Yeah, the people who want Mar a Lago face (Google it) will get that.

But if other plastic surgery is undetectable then how would you know whether anyone has had it?

Oops my career. Again.

Doesn’t rooting disable a bunch of apps?

At my old job people were constantly transitioning to organisations that they had professional relationships with i.e. customers or suppliers. See if you can’t switch some of your tasks at work to interface with potential employers.

Ouch, sounds like she never got over a postpartum depression.

She can’t help you mate. I don’t know whether she wishes she hadn’t had you because she regrets inflicting the pain of existence on you or she’s just a dickhead but she can’t help you.

Underscore alone is a special variable name and I’m pretty sure anything assigned to it goes straight to garbage collection. Whereas _myvariable is typically used to indicate a “private” class variable or method (Python doesn’t have private so it’s just a convention).

You can use anything that doesn’t start with a digit or punctuation as a variable name (underscore beginning also allowed) unless it’s a keyword.
