Neurotypical person:

• May procrastinate, but can still “decide” to do the task if they put their mind to it
• Maybe some guilt about the procrastinating
• Does the task
• Gets a hit of dopamine, so they feel good and think, “why did I put it off?”
• Remembers that next time there’s a task

ADHDer:

• Get up. Get up now. Please get up and do the task. Why can’t I get up and do the task? I hate myself so much. I’m letting everyone down… Seriously, just do the task, I’m begging you…
• Major guilt spiral, RSD, feels bad man
• Does the task
• Doesn’t get a hit of dopamine, so they feel the same and think, “ugh, why did I bother?”
• Remembers that next time there’s a task

Franziska von Karma. I was going to say Miles Edgeworth, but… let’s face it, there are plenty of foolish fools in need of a whipping right now. 😌

(I know she’s really a “game character”, but she was in the anime, so she still counts. 🧑‍⚖️)

This is one thing that makes me think mine is AuDHD, not just ADHD (waiting for an autism assessment now).

I occasionally pin important tabs, or use Tab Groups, but mostly I obsessively sort everything into Collections and start fresh every time. I can’t stand digital clutter. Messy Desktops drive me mad, too.

And yet my IRL world is disorganisation and chaos. 😬

Definitely! The name (negatively?) shapes how people think of the condition, too.

I’m a fan of “Executive Function Disorder”, personally.

Fun Fact:

1955 is how long we’ve officially existed, originally under the name “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood”. 😅

Definitely long enough to rub in the faces of the no one had ADHD in my day crowd, which is what’s important.

Imagine being an NT person and just bumping into one topic after another like a moth, I’d much rather know how I got to wherever I ended up. 😅

A good retail one: don’t say “sorry for your wait.” Say “thank you for waiting” or “thank you for being so patient”.

Something to do with… it makes people feel good about themselves if they think they’ve done something for you, which in turn makes them more likely to keep being patient.

Does it turn on? If it can record videos, it’s a 3GS.

Maybe it’s ads. Maybe it’s subscription fees.

It’s subscription fees. They’ve already announced it. It’s literally on their blog, and they’ve talked about it in their Twitch (they didn’t do a VoD so here’s a link to a YouTube video) and Reddit Q&As.

“In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier.”

Maybe they just end up selling all your data off to their 1,000+ data broker partners.

I don’t really see how they could, seeing as pretty much everything (including Likes) is already public.

The thing that annoys me in subs of foreign-language things, is where a very simple or recognisable sentence gets turned into something else. Not in a “localisation” way, where extra context is needed. Just in a weird way.

Audio: Arigatou, @[email protected]-san.
Subtitle: Thanks, @[email protected], I really appreciate it.

Audio: Ja.
Subtitle: OK, I’ll see you there!

This seems a lot more common in “official” subs of anime, nordic noir, etc. Fan-subs seem a lot more accurate.

THE WORST OF TIMES ARE WHEN LAWYERS HAVE TO FORCE THEIR BIGGEST SMILES!!!

Friend created. Initials (“MJL”) became word! Makes smile.

There was (maybe still is) a cake shop in Southgate, North London. About a minute from my old flat.

The cakes in the window display rarely changed, if ever.

The guy running it looked like if you imagine the toughest prisoner at a prison, only wearing an apron.

About 50/50 whether the glass would be smashed whenever you walked past.

It was often “open” and had people coming in and out of it at 2-3am when I came back from nights out.

And there was a drive-by shooting right in that area while I lived there, that I always assumed was related. 😅

In the smouldering aftermath, some politicians, keen to shift the focus from social inequality, have muttered darkly about the role of BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and Facebook – frightening new technologies that, like the pen and the human mouth, allow citizens to swap messages with one another. Some have even called for the likes of Twitter to be temporarily suspended in times of great national crisis. That’d be reassuring – like the scene at the start of a zombie movie where the news bulletin is suddenly replaced by a whistling tone and a stark caption reading PLEASE STAND BY. The last thing we need in an emergency is the ability to share information.

Plus ADHD and depression are comorbid, so a lot of what we think of as “ADHD symptoms” might be depression symptoms? Idk just a thought 😃

In-sta-gram

Although I’m only saying that to be contrarian, I do actually agree with you 😬

Squeeze to activate Google Assistant, from the Pixel 2 XL (and maybe others, I don’t remember)

Funnily enough @[email protected] does seem to work in the Liftoff app, but I guess there maybe isn’t a standard yet. 😃

I got’choo, I was just kidding. ✌️

Bloody “serious people”.

Could you get away with having a fidget cube in your lap or (inconspicuously) behind your back? That’s one way I’ve managed to fidget undetected in meetings before haha.
