Get fucked.

I feel like the memory is the thing I struggle with the most. The wandering mind is bad enough but then when I catch myself I often I don’t have a clue what I was doing. I always just have to leave myself clues around. Everyone tells you to just write stuff down but you can’t just write down absolutely everything. When you say you’re forgetful people think you mean passwords and important details, but it’s absolutely everything.

What a load of bullshit. Maybe I misread it but it says that German companies would be 101% more productive if they bought newer laptops and phones (American ones no doubt). They also claim that businesses are trying to use old hardware for modern workloads. Apparently a six year old laptop can’t handle Outlook and Word.

As soon as you finish a task something else comes up.

I don’t know if it’s a thing but for like two weeks I was extremely motivated, like being a functioning adult was my latest hyper fixation. I was socialising, eating well, exercising, even getting up in the morning to get shit done and get out the house. Something was motivating me but I’m not sure what.

I can feel it wearing off now but I’m desperately trying to hold onto it.

I wonder if those officers knew it was illegal before they took up the job?

Still popular in a lot of poorer places. If you have no infrastructure then it’s often the most suitable means of keeping warm at night, especially since you don’t really need to worry about storage or anything.

“mostly because the English have been trying to erase Irish culture for centuries”

What on earth are you on about? Do you think anyone in England is waking up thinking about ways to suppress Irish culture? You do realise that England and Ireland are separate countries now?

This looks bad for Mandelson and Clinton but there’s not really incriminating about Blair. They met at Downing Street for 30 minutes at Mandelson’s recommendation and talked about politics.

I know we always think about walking as some kind of positive metal health thing but whenever I’ve actually gotten out there for a walk I’ve found it boring unless I’m actually going somewhere in particular. If I’m just wandering I feel like I constantly have to think about where I’m going.

I once went like 7 years without ever checking my balance. Now I have it hooked into my Apple Wallet so I accidentally see my balance when I got it pay for things sometimes.

When/where was this?

I used to imagine myself getting I. Trouble until I learnt that I have ADHD and I was giving myself massive anxiety problems. Nowadays I just sort of try to push out of my head the possibility of doing anything else, like sitting on my arse isn’t even something I am able to do.

Between the ugly lump on the back of these and the horrid Liquid Ass interface this is possibly the ugliest iPhone they’ve ever released.

It used to be possible as networks could advertise that they owned IP ranges that they didn’t actually own using BGP, which is what’s used for high level routing. This is what China did around 2010 where they allegedly routed all the internet traffic in the world through China for like 10 minutes. I guess somebody could do that and then just drop every packet.

I expect that’s not possible anymore though, but I’ve been out the game a while so I don’t know for sure.

I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of people out there who know exactly who Banksy is. It’ll be like with The Stig, all the journalists knew who he was but the mystery was more interesting and sold more papers.

It is but this kind of cultural change takes generations. I remember a couple of years ago seeing a newspaper article celebrating Rabat having its first female taxi driver, then a few months later I saw a video of a kid being beaten by her Dad because she had a boyfriend. There’s a big cultural divide between the people who’ve been raised with traditional values and the newer generations who been raised by the internet. Moroccans are not worldly people.

I do this, it’s been one with other providers but I don’t use Netflix.

It’s called Auditory Processing Delay, it’s pretty common in people with ADHD. I get it myself. It’s kind of like your attention is elsewhere and you “record” what somebody’s said and then replay it and process it once you’re done with your current train of thought.

I used to do French classes and we would go round the room and have to say what we did on the weekend (in French of course). I think everyone thought I was shit at French but in reality I just couldn’t remember what I’d done on the weekend.
