tilefan

I've been experimenting with modafinil and armodafinil for my adhd, and this morning I took the largest dose of armodafinil yet (250mg). I took it at 10am, and went back to sleep with an alarm set for 11am, and just woke up at 2:30pm.

ADHD is fun

the safest form of messaging I have is Signal, but the whole point of the safety number is to verify that the person you're talking to on Signal is really that person, so I can't send my safety number through Signal. any other option I have, the data is going to be harvested by somebody.

how do you all do it if you don't have physical contact with your Signal people?

specifically, the emoji ones, not the text ones underneath

finally got around to updating YouTube ReVanced, been using the regular YouTube app since that video issue started, and nothing makes me appreciate what you guys have given us more [like, I tested it, you get shown partially unskippable ads before videos on how to perform the Heimlich maneuver].

there are even new settings in there that I wanted and didn't even have to ask for. I love this app so much

I know that if I go to my own library on desktop, I can download actual files and move them around and do whatever I want with them, I thought maybe that was why I couldn't find the download to watch later option, so I went to a shared library, and the option isn't there either. you can see where the option exists on mobile

solved: Settings >> Chats >> Chat backups >> Create backup

all the instructions I can find for creating a backup are instructions for transferring my account to another phone, which is not what I'm trying to do. I just want a nice little zip file or something that I can save on some third party storage device.

DISCLAIMER - I am not planning on fighting a pelican.

there's a brown pelican that hangs out on the railing of a very narrow portion of a boardwalk nearby. the only reason it makes me nervous is because it's huge, but their nails look short, and their beaks are pointed, but curved downwards so they would have to try to bite me with that long thing instead of pecking me.

like, if a bird capable of clawing or eating my eyes out attacked my face, I'd honestly have no qualms about killing it immediately. but if I ever get attacked by a pelican, it looks like I could just kind of hold it off without having to hurt it. am I right in that?

the native Android stopwatch widget is 3x2, and even resizing it on a third party launcher, it takes up way more space than it should.

the best I can seem to find out there is 2x2. I figure a 2x1 or even a 1x1 should be easily feasible. I don't give a damn what the rest of the app does (other than showing me ads, of course, or charging me a monthly fee)

according to Urban Dictionary, it's either a hand job through clothing, or another term for 69ing. I don't understand why either of those would be called an "over under"

I've had hemorrhoids for like 25 years, so I've always been very discerning about my toilet paper.

this entire time, I've been using whatever toilet paper I have found to be the softest as facial tissue, to blow my nose, as well. my reasoning being, if this stuff is gentle enough for my hemorrhoids, of course it's going to be gentle enough for repeated use on my upper lip.

then, a friend turns me on to one of those new "with lotion" facial tissues (my bathroom tissue always has aloe in it) and wouldn't you know it, my upper lip finds it to be softer than the toilet paper. but, when I try using it as toilet paper, my anus doesn't find it to be less irritating than the toilet paper.

why do my butthole and my upper lip think that different things are softer? is it just chemistry?

edit - turns out rebooting it five times is what works.

when I'm using any of my Plex players, it acts like my server is turned off. when I go into settings, it says that my server is unavailable with a secure connection. I've tried restarting everything, rebooting everything, I can't watch my server.

once a year I email my favorite flashlight manufacturer to ask if they've finally made a flashlight that just turns on and off when you push the button, and every year they're like, "no, but thanks so much for your feedback!"

be honest, have any of you ever used the flashing feature on your flashlight? did it actually come in handy? handy enough that I have to scroll past it every single time I want to turn my flashlight on or off
