ADHD is falling down a rabbit hole trying to find an answer to this question and realising that there IS actually a definitive answer, which turns out to be that it’s a “half empty glass” if the last thing that happened to it was that liquid was removed, but it’s a “half full glass” if the last thing that happened to it was that liquid was added, BUT you also have to factor in evaporation which is happening constantly, so really every glass that contains an amount of liquid that corresponds to half of it’s containment ability is actually “half empty” except for the few seconds after water was added to it, in which case it is, briefly, half full, then describing your findings in a single, insanely long sentence.

Launching a war to go retrieve his Nobel PEACE prize. This stuff writes itself lol

Anyone know who the “third party” is that Renault is refusing to name? Also, I wonder why they are refusing to name them…

Maybe it’s just all these years being stuck in this darkest timeline, but all that headline translates to in my mind is “Trump decides Putin is weak enough for him to have a go at re-negotiating his pee-pee tape deal with him”. Putin will either push back or fold and when he does then Trump will just “change his mind about Ukraine” again. So to summarise… meh.

Yes, and the tabs are all nuts 🥜 and the brain monkeys 🐒 are after them! Get away from my thoughts naughty monkeys 🤨

Leaving reddit was also one of the best things I ever did for my mental health. Joining this place has been such a positive thing ☺️

“scrolling down post by post is such a dumb concept.” It really is isn’t it! 🤣

THAT WAS IT!!! Thank you so much 😁😁😁 Oh my goodness 😲 such a blast from the past. Also makes me realise that it wasn’t moving all the time but it was size that indicated importance. Honestly I couldn’t find this no matter how hard I looked. I was sure it was long gone. Wow…

I’ve never taken any medication and don’t intend to. The thing I’m obviously not successfully getting across though is that what I’m describing to you is not an uncomfortable life in any way. I love the way my brain works 🙂 Really I’m just after a news reader of some kind that would work at the same speed that my brain hoovers up information. Also, I think you’ve probably called me an addict enough times now thanks.

It’s not that. I’ve always felt more comfortable when there is a lot of information in front of me (hence my original question). I love shopping in large supermarkets for example. All those packages and brands, colours and words. It literally makes me happy and I often walk around just smiling because my brain feels peaceful when there’s lots happening all around me. The caveat to that is if I’m being compelled to do anything in particular with this information by anyone, like a teacher or a manager. So long as there are no bad consequences if I don’t take in all the information and process it according to someone else’s rules, then it’s blissful. It also makes me basically unemployable, which is why I’ve mostly run my own businesses all my life! 🤣 Also, because of this, I didn’t have a very good time at school, specially at a time when no one knew about ADHD. The habits I’ve described may look like addictions but they aren’t. It’s just the way my brain has worked for over half a century now.

Thanks for your obviously well meaning reply but my brain has always worked this way. For decades… I play incremental online games half a dozen at the same time and watch news feeds that way too. Even before the web was born I would gather multiple tv’s and have them play a whole array of programs simultaneously. I cannot watch movies in the cinema and I fast forward through everything I watch. I also watch almost any YouTube video at 2x speed. Not being able to flip between multiple sources constantly is a real and genuine struggle. I asked this question simultaneously to ChatGPT, by the way, and it agreed with you about RSS Feed readers 🙂

Can’t math so would do it entirely visually and I would get it wrong but feel happy that I’d picked a number (in this case 215) and been able to move on 🤣

“Ukraine’s Zelenskyy”? Phew I’m so glad they specified the country. I thought they were talking about my local postman for a minute. What’s old Barnaby Zelenskyy done now, I wondered.

Just the songs? (laughs in ADHD) 🤣

You’re right. When I said “do Americans understand” I meant “do Americans who support Trump understand” I should have been clearer.

So do Americans (edit: who support Trump) understand that they are the ones paying the tariffs? When Trump tells them how many billions he’s collected in tariffs do they realise it’s their money he’s collected? I keep wondering if I missed something…

If he was called RJ Maybe it would be impossible to definitely charge him with anything.

He is not a merry man!
