I like the nomadic/sedentary comparison of ADHD/normie. When things are steady and unchanging, and planning is usefull, then ADHD sucks. When things are chaotic and unpredictable, ADHD is a superpower (and medication hinders it).
My ED goes away when I need to react to a problem. Not sure how this extends to other people though… I’m good at problem solving, so I don’t get anxiety in front of the unknown.
I was talking with a Russian expat about"nato threat to Russia", and he just replied laughting “what threat?”
Yup! It’s not “abandoning” per se, it’s more like “totally forgetting that I was trying a new life routine, so stopped doing it”
That’s why it’s so hard to take medication every day.
I recently got my boss to send a donation to an open source project!
It was technically not free to use for commercial purposes, but we could have done it anyway… However my boss agreed when I mentioned how insignificant it would be on the project’s cost!
Which Linux distro would work on a phone? I have an old zenfone 8 lying around.
Haha, don’t worry I was also joking!
I have the same trauma where I claim I can do stuff but end up with too many responsibilities.
I like skiing and video games. What are my traumas?
I take notes just to look professional. Don’t try to read my notebook afterwards!
…, no food…
And also
It takes 10 days
There must be something to it 🤔
Nice try Google!
Me with my ahdh friend: let’s order takeout and meet there!
Result: we each went to a different location, and it turned out we ordered from yet a third location on the other side of town! Luckily, they agreed to stay open until we arrived to pick it up.
I was always told “I don’t know, ask your grandfather” He was in education and had encyclopedic knowledge of so many things!
I have more attention than most, but I just can’t put it all in the same basket! (Unless hyperfocus…)
Society hyperoptimized on productivity profit such that taking time to enjoy a side quest is frowned upon…
Power corrupts…
Wait… “Stockholm syndrome” was really just caused by the fact that the criminals were more empathic to the hostages than the cops themselves. There was no special psychological phenomenon involved.
Otherwise, I agree with your comment!
Yeah, washing one thing is simple, but a long sequences of things to wash is ensuring to think about… There are greasy things, crusted things, that all need different methods to wash. Also, it takes a long time for the water to become hot. Then drying…
But then, once the first thing has been washed, the water is already hot and soap is already partially washing the other greasy things! Might as well do a little bit more washing while we’re at it. If i stop, i have to dry my hands and wipe the countertop…
I usually go with 1/3 cup of the same thing, it’s what works best for me! (Only addingv water and salt… It’s bland but it works)
Anything else like peanut butter, cheese, or sweet cereal with milk will screw my stomach and bowels… I keep coffee to a minimum, and drink it black.
Could be related to your body spending energy on digesting breakfast. In my case, if I eat something to fat or sweet, or with some fruits I’m intolerant, then my day is screwed…
Imho, the expectation that we musts et goals and achieve them is partly due to the society imposing this on us… Yet it’s true that we must still set goals regarding food and sleep!
When I’m by myself (ex: backpacking), I try to avoid setting goals, and to go with the flow. The hardest part is not to overpay for things when normies assume that “not planning” is a good reason to screw someone over. (ie: they didn’t book in advance, so off course it’s normal to charge 5x the price!)
I decided that I don’t want to be a virtuoso at the guitar, I just play for fun. If I can’t practice a full hour everyday because of my ED, I no longer care.
