I hate the disassociation so much, especially since I have no control over when it happens. I’m always missing the first few words of a conversation when someone starts talking to me and have to use context to figure out what they’re talking about. The worst is when it happens in the middle of a conversation. I’m trying to listen but then suddenly I just tune-out without warning, often without realizing it.

It’s beyond frustrating, especially when you’re trying to have healthy relationships. I come across as uncaring and selfish, which is the worst part. Nobody believes me when I say that I’m trying my hardest to listen.

I’m honestly surprised it’s taking this long. I was expecting same-day justice, delivered straight to his face.

Depression is also a symptom of ADHD

I’m only partially serious. Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor that doesn’t really work well in text. Just pretend that I’m smiling and playfully punching your upper arm when you read half my comments.

That said, Umami isn’t subjective, though. It’s one of the five basic tastes. So you have to admit that not liking a food that’s loaded in it is a bit odd.

The fact that you don’t like tomatoes in of itself is proof that the problem is with your taste buds. Tomatoes are high glutamic acid (umami), and I’ve never heard of a person who didn’t like savory foods.

There’s a reason why MSG is making a comeback: because it tastes good (and because people are finally starting to figure out that its stigma is deeply-rooted in racism. It’s better for you than salt).

Like the others have said, use Voyager to filter out the instances and communities you don’t want to see.

You are hurt. You should go into the light. You are only safe there.

Imgur if you want memes, cats, and politics, but keep in mind that they’re not much better than reddit. No 3rd party apps, and the official app has ads & sells your data to Facebook. You can block it by using the DDG app and enabling App Tracking Protection, however. Also setting your phone’s DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com. You should be doing those two things anyway, regardless of what apps you do or don’t use.

Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I’m considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I’ve never used a Twitter-like interface before so it’s intimidating.

Unfortunately I still haven’t found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There’s always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it’s hard to know what’s crap and what’s actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn’t have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.

More like fans of any sport, mirite?

American Football or International?

Yep, most people are deficient.

Started drinking 500mL–1L of coconut water every day. Cramps are gone forever now. Learn to like the taste if you don’t. It’ll extend your life.

Seriously; why is no one bringing this up? I saw the largest lines I’ve ever seen at a polling location; WAY more than 2020, yet nobody voted? Give me a fucking break. The Republicans have a history of doing exactly what they accused the other side of doing. It’s fishy as hell.

Furthermore, how the hell were we able to get the results the same night of election day? For as long as I can remember, it would take at least a week minimum before we had any clue who won. Yet somehow they were able to process ballots much faster this time? Give me a fucking break.

Edit: Also, does no one else find it odd that progressive ballot measures overwhelmingly won in several states that turned red?

Preach. Fuck Kamela. She’s just as responsible for the death of democracy as everyone who voted Trump, voted 3rd Party, or didn’t vote at all. She’s willing to just throw in the towel and let the country (and millions of Americans living in it) die. So fuck her.

Seriously. I learned way more math, history, and science from YouTube and Wikipedia than I had from 13 years in the K-12 system.

Seriously. Ditch your streaming providers; ditch cable. Just get Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid. And SmartTubeNext. All the video content you could ever need on your TV can be streamed instantly through these two apps. Every movie; every TV show; all of YouTube. All ad-free. Buy an antenna for local channels/sports and you’re set for life.

Never. It will always be just “Twitter”.

Both every time but I also haven’t used a VGA cable in at least 15 years.

Yeah seriously; I don’t recognize any of this crap.
