I felt the same way my whole life and then two years ago I discovered I just had ADHD. It explained everything and I found community with others who had a similar experience. I’ve never been happier. Last night, for example, I had a meal with a bunch of people who also have ADHD. We hired a private, quiet, comfortably lit dining room in a countryside Inn, took all our masks off, broke out a bunch of fidget toys and chatted. It was amazing, it always is. Find your community 😁

I know what you mean. I always go for this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07V43JNZ7

It’s got a hard but velvety finish and the hinges are quiet. I also find that using it one handed means I can have it out of sight by my hip which makes it less obvious and noisy too.

Infinity cube. I’ve got loads of them. It really helps me listen when people are talking to me.

He’ll be released and probably be offered all sorts of book, talk show, movie deals. He certainly won’t do anything criminal. That would would be cuckoo bonkers. CEO’s of unpopular companies will increase their security and certainly not ever just wander around on their own outside in the street. He will be the subject of all sorts of controversial arguments which will be used to market him. Or… he’ll go into some kind of anonymous relocation program and live a quiet life out of the public eye. Either way it’s going to be one of the most interesting moments to watch in recent history.

So basically the Beverage Goblin song?

How do you mean?

Humanity has “lost the fight against climate change” …because of a few stubborn, greedy governments who have done everything they can to get us all to believe it’s because we didn’t recycle enough.

No ordinary person ever had any power to change this. We could only make change happen if we all came together but we won’t because apparently we’re the problem.

Also worth noting that getting people to feel apathetic and fatalistic using messages like this post is actually a well known strategy to destroy motivation for change. The battle is definitely ongoing and we may yet win it. Don’t give up hope or they win.

Oh definitely. In fact it’s maybe dopamine hoarding so I get to experience it all in one go? But I’ve had that panicky feeling of being discovered before I finish a positive task forever.

That guy’s so funny “If you think that’s insane hit subscribe!!” Wait what? These idiots reveal their agenda so quickly. Windows is fine. Honestly, I’m speaking to you from outside the bubble and we’re all ok. Everything’s running fine and updates are happening without any issue for most of us. This sweaty bearded salesman is just dog whistling Linux users and “mentally vulnerable” Windows users. If you think switching operating systems is going to go smoothly for you, boy do I have a bridge I want to sell you. “Everyone Hates Windows Right Now” yeah right 🤣

If you replace “houses” with “beginning of songs I started to write” that is very much my situation. I thought it was just because I lacked discipline or just couldn’t get my head around song structure until I found out about ADHD.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

Douglas Adams absolutely predicted this :)

What a brilliant question! All feature films would have a maximum run time of 30 minutes. All books would have a TL;DR at the end. If anyone takes longer than 5 minutes to explain a simple concept, they owe you a dollar. Neurotypicals would be highly incentivised to work as diary managers and time keepers for us. Forgetting what you are about to say just as you launch into a great speech would be considered good luck and there would be clapping and hugs. Commas in sentences would become optional. If a Neurotypical stops responding to your text messages half way through a conversation until a week later and then pretends they didn’t just trigger a week long RSD anxiety attack - straight to jail.

Thank God for Trello. Since I started using it about a year ago, anything I put in there gets done. Also I found out that if you put a Party Popper (🎉) emoji in the title of a list, then whenever you pick up a task and move it to the next stage it blows confetti all over the screen. Yay! pat on the head dopamine 😁 Who’s a good boy? I’m a good boy that’s who!

I don’t think something like that would happen here. It’s an extremely professional workplace and Matt’s a really good guy. Can I go? Matt’s birthday’s starting and bunch of Mets are here.

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.
