Yes. Everything is monitored, and it sucks. We’ve internalized it even, you can’t so much as have a hobby without dumping money into it to signal you take it seriously

Okay, let’s say you have a fuel injected car, but instead of using the 02 sensor to decide the fuel air mixture, it just squirts the same amount of gas every time.

The hardware might be able to achieve 400 hp, but the software means it only ever achieves 50 hp

It’s like that. The software drives the hardware. It doesn’t matter how good the hardware is, the software is the brain of the operation - if the software doesn’t know how to utilize the hardware properly, you’re going to have piss poor performance

Driver’s? They literally drive the hardware your computer is using

Look up the Technocracy movement. These ideas have been floating around in certain groups for a while… Such as the heritage foundation

We wait it out. It’s a collapsing empire, a real war would prolong the collapse, they’res plenty of historical precedent

We’re doing our best to speed run it, guys. Maybe make fun of us for healthcare more, it’s a real sore spot

Yeah, a fighter jet with refuels could chase the sunlight for quite a while. At some point jets need maintenance though, but there would be plenty enough wiggle room to land and change jets, we can beat Earth’s rotation

So yeah, sure, it’s absolutely possible

You realize not everyone has the same level/type of ADHD? And not everyone responds the same to medicine? And that ADHD is often comorbid with other disorders?

But one option is hygienic, the other two are convenience. Fuck convenience, put the lid down and wash your hands, it’s for everyone’s sake

You are correct, I did mean lid down too

It does make a difference, it means measurably less poo bacteria on places like your tooth brush

But seat (edit: I meant lid) down is more hygienic when you flush. It isv the morally situation superior position

Force yourself to do things you think are gross. Touch the sink and eat a sandwich. Eat a cracker off the floor. Little, very low risk things like that

Practice being able to overcome it, it’s that simple

Trying to get out all the 2025 shit. 2026 may or may not be better, but I know I want to be done with 2025

You think it hasn’t crossed their mind already? The urgency is the point. They need to tell others they are in distress

You can’t just be left in that state, it gets worse and worse. And if it’s a brain tumor, which could cause many of those symptoms, speed is survival.

I get what you’re saying, but sometimes “it could be a brain tumor” is the brain worm that makes you push through when your family initially dismisses your symptoms

The headaches? No idea. Never had paranoia either.

But I just managed to get treatment for a crippling anxiety disorder, I spent 6 months pacing or crying into the corner

Your description sounds a lot like how I was before my family realized how bad on a way I was. It sounds like major anxiety disorder plus plus

It could also be a brain tumor or something else to. And it can’t wait too long

You need to get help, get your people, tell them you’re not ok, and let them help you. Call all of em. Scream it out that you ain’t ok

I am in distress. There’s nothing undignified about it. Let those who care about you pick up the call. Let strangers pick up the call

Keep screaming. I am not ok! I require assistance!

All else fails, go to the ER, they have to help you. But do the rest first, everyone has some kind of people. In a way I’m of your people, so I answered, best I can, how to call it out better

They can share details, just not your details. And if the details they share reveal a connection to your identity, they fucked up

Definitely, we’re all way more sensitive to stimuli.

All you can really do is do something to distract yourself, medicated cough drops are great too, the numbing kind. Just don’t overuse them, mix them in with the kind with no active ingredients if you need to

Feel better

Well put

You usually can’t get pregnant in your 80’s lol

You want to stay home. Let the FOMO drain from your body
