For children it was perhaps the last time where at least a bit of your innocence could last beyond age 12 or 13. Less control, more "well, the sun is shining, let's hope they will be back by dinner". I've probably never have known a neighborhood in more detail than when i was 8. You could do something stupid and it wouldn't be filmed or photographed, with date and location tag, immediately uploaded into the cloud and available at a buttons press. You could get BORED, and then you'd do something that you hadn't tried before, because you couldn't just grab your phone and bombard yourself with tiny dopamine hits.

My nieces/nephews are struggling with this so hard. They are good kids and their parents are doing a commendable job, but they are lucky to have enough time and enough awareness to strictly limit their kids access to media.

Don't worry, You Are (Not) Alone.

The smell is unbearable. Probably the only place these should be smoked is in the Cuban jungle. I've had a pleasant cigar experience before, but it's much worse than cigarettes for everyone in a 200 m radius.

People here focus a lot on the fighting and difficulty.

Just so you know, it's also absolutely gorgeous to look at and the game feel is incredibly tight and responsive. If you just run around in it for an hour or two, but don't have the patience for getting really good a tapping your shoulder button, you probably still have a good time.

The only one that was on par so far was Nine Sols. It has the most insane final boss I've ever seen and the only bossfight I had to grind harder than Father Owl. Probably took me 8+ hours over three days. After beating it, i felt like I could parry bullets in real life if just tried a little harder. Gorgeous and deeply engaging game too.

When you walk as a group, little conversations and pairs will form naturally, chatting and joking along the way. I will very often walk by myself, either pacing too slow or too fast, nobody joining me. Sometimes it feels like an escort ques, where you just don't have the correct walking speed button.

On the other hand, I'll find and love you other weird fucks easily at a party, bouncing erratically around from place to place or telling me for thirty minutes about your favorite type of algae when I asked what you did today. Just gotta get invited to a party sometime again...

If the director has a great sense of humor and a horror background, just make Hornsent the protagonist. Also Jar People please.

Most slop isn't made for my taste, so I'm honestly looking forward to it.

Feels more like the dope ass bear is looking at me.

I work in heavy industrial production and my company bought another.

Their plants were in a much worse state in regards to health and safety. Higher incident rates, worse safety practices, less maintained equipment and a worse culture about mistakes and criticism lead to people get hurt much more often.

Among all the corporate nonsense, I appreciated that they actually invested the money to make work safer. People get heavily injured or lose their lives when dealing with these large machines. Most of the workers there were grateful as the last owner was just interested in running the plant dry, no matter the cost of human lifes.

If you make or sell anything in the US, or really anywhere, you need stuff from China. Anything that contains any electronics (i.e almost everything important), many resources, plastic parts, anything the US has outsourced is ordered via sea freight from China.

Now it's 64% less things over a single week. Your whole economy relies on cheap stuff from China and they made it not cheap anymore. So companies will not order anymore, because they can't afford it, knowing that can't just double their prices. Most companies probably hope, that this is temporary and want to delay their orders until they have some level of security, that shit is not two or three times as expensive as it was the month before.

If that doesn't happen, everything down the supply chain will be affected. From food to cars to data centers and IT, consumer goods, cosmetics, healthcare. The shipping companies themselves. Logistics, ports, trucks. Building materials like steel and concrete. Everything. And most companies hold very little things in storage these days, they rely on just-in-time delivery because material on stock is expensive, so this impact will come very quick.

And nothing, outside of a gigantic national effort that would be comparable to the brutal industrialization of the Soviet Union or China, could compensate for this. The consequences are a massive economic crisis agaist which 2008 or Covid looks like peanuts.

Trump will bend. Or he might have to dodge a few more bullets.

 

Love to completely avoid a simple but critical task for weeks only to be reminded that I really need to have it done by now and now I have to make shit up and pretend I'm dumb or lost my notes or my dog ate my laptop, because saying "my brain didn't give a fuck about this particular task for the last month because there was no real deadline and now I'm filled to the brim with anxiety and I want to hide in my bed for three days because now there is one and it was today" is a valid thing in therapy but some how not at work.

Anyway, ADHD sucks and I get knocked down but i get up again and so on.

 

Two years ago I saw this this video about ADHD in adulthood through some post on hexbear and experienced a certain... feeling that there was puzzle piece missing to my utterly disjointed, disorganised, unmotivated life. Thank you to whoever posted that video. I owe you so much.

One and a half years ago I started going to a self help ADHD group in my town.

One year ago I got a lucky appointment by a new psychiatrist and started my diagnosis.

Two months later he confirmed my diagnosis and I got started on Elvanse (Vyvanse/Lisexamphetamine).

For the first time in my life I am not on a permanent collision course with whatever I am doing. I go to work, mostly on time and do it well. I can write an email or make an appointment without agonizing for hours. I do the dishes and clean my floor before it's disgusting. I only lost my wallet and phone once and even found them again. And I learn to structure and shape my surroundings and my schedule so that it works for me. I still fail often, but don't fall into the spiral of doom that would so often over take me, when failing before.

But the most important thing is this: I am not utterly miserable anymore when I wake up, agonizing over the day in front of me, over all the little tasks that seem insurmountable. I know it can be done, one step at a time. If not today then tomorrow.

Just had to get it out. If you wanna share or ask something about ADHD things, this could be a place. meow-hug

 

If you hit Donald Trump with any sniper rifle calibre from 150 m distance ANYWHERE on his body, the man's toast. He's a 80 year old jellybean, held together by his personal BigMac/Adrenochrome mix.

But the dude likely played too much COD or CS and simply got convinced that Trump has too much HP and you need to go for the headshot. Motherfucking freeze-gamer
