I would say that any deaf-from-birth person who ever regularly interacted with hearing people would know they sound a certain way

Wow, I’ve seen a lot of ADHD analogies over the years but I’ve never seen that hits so hard because…This is almost exactly how my brain functions.

On good days, I can just act and don’t have to think. On bad days, I involuntarily make numbered lists in my head of the steps needed to accomplish a goal and then get overwhelmed at how many steps are ahead of me.

A trick I’ve found to “harness” it is to consider how difficult the task is overall. Most of those “overwhelming” tasks are just a little bit too much but they’re several steps.

If cleaning ten dishes is twice as much as you can bear, your new goal is one. That should be only make out you at 20% overwhelmed. And hey, since your hands are wet, why not hit your limit before you take a break? And what do you know, now you’ve finished cleaning all of them.

Whole lot of really serious replies but I think it’d be better to spin your original statement as a joke/exaggeration/misinterpretation"

“I love my job but let’s be real - if I didn’t have bills to pay, I’d be chilling on a beach instead!”

“I love working here - but my role specifically. I’m very happy in my position and don’t see myself as CEO one day or anything.”

I want to like this so much more than I do. It does look a bit better in other photos.

I think I’d hate it less if the ship was centered on the buildings. As-is, it looks like the back fell off (which is not very typical)

You should put this in a writing community instead, questions like this aren’t really what this com is for

I was moreso asking about the values that used to (but no longer) exist in the republican party as the main change I see is the willingness to let the mask slip.

Though I am still confused why you consider yourself a conservative when you support all those progressive ideas! I am not a conservative but we seem to agree on a whole lot

I hadn’t considered the Electoral College thing so I’ll give you that…but the rest of the list, aside from the supreme court thing which is non-partisan, are things conservatives (famously) fought against.

Are you sure you’re conservative? If you really hold those ideals, I think you might actually be progressive…

The only thing to do is push back, and try to save what can be saved.

Not trying to bait here but what do you want to save and how far back are you going to find something worth saving? Some aspects of fiscal conservatism have their merits but I’m stumped thinking of any good socially-conservative opinions from the past hundred years

Someone just discovered the Saddam Hussein meme and decided to flood lemmy with as many as they could repost

You forgot fetishists

I’ve had several jobs since then and met a few lifelong friends but the point is none of that matters when you’re on the clock. Don’t get involved in the drama and don’t date your coworkers (unless you work in hospitality, I guess)

After the resulting shit from being friends with my coworkers at my first “real” job, I avoid work socialization as much as possible. I’ve been with my currently company for 3 years and have only given my number to 3 people…two of which just wanted pictures of my dog since I stopped using Instagram.

Nobody knows me that well and I like it that way. Nobody asks me to fix their computer, nobody shares the latest gossip. If they try, I say “oh wow” and then look back at my screen

Oh I actually just learned a cool trick for this.

If there’s ever a crowd of innocent people you want to mow down, you can just say they’re Hamas. You don’t even have to say it beforehand, you can declare it after the fact (if you get caught)

So far it’s worked 100% of the time I’ve seen it used so it’s seemingly pretty foolproof

My nephew got one of those smart watches for kids. There’s no real games, the camera sucks, and he can only contact and be contacted by approved numbers but it’s nice to have.

I like getting his goofy texts, too

I did the same test after seeing the comment! Hands are weird!

Hold up a flat object like that, it does look weird but hands can be weird. I imitated it pretty easily with a book when I saw your comment

Her fingers aren’t weird

Point to the tariff that makes sense?

I kind of like that it’s a kinda ragged duck in a pretty pond

Right, because you know going in that you’re interested. Neither of you provided a description to let OP know if they’re even interested before they commit 8 minutes to a video that may or may not answer the question

It’s not a huge deal or anything, your “not to be rude” line just made me laugh. I was at work and definitely could not afford the time
