Fuck me, get out more.

Which would you prefer? As an X slacker, I only have enough spare “meh” to handle one or the other.

Wait… you’re a millennial? Doesn’t that mean you’re basically a kid? Does this count as grooming? Help, I need an adult!

realizes half the adults in his family are dead

Typical boomers.

…for now, anyway.

I’ve got small dumblights that are motion-activated and run on AAA batteries. Bought one for the bathrooms specifically so getting up in the middle of the night to take a leak doesn’t involve turning on the full light. They worked well enough (and they were cheap enough) that we now have like 6 in various places.

Sometimes more than once.

Thank you!

Note that I am not disagreeing. Just pointing out that not being able to trust anything anymore is on-brand.

Magic can be tricksy like that.

Thanks, the best to you as well.

Intellectually, I get why they’re doing the things this way. I’ve been in IT for 25 years, I’ve done my fair share of troubleshooting lol. But the slow motion nature of it is torture. Will this work? Dunno, let’s give it 6 weeks. Okay, now up the dose. Anything? Up the dose again. Guess this wasn’t the right one. Taper time! Okay now try this. Will it work? Dunno… etc etc.

All the shit going on in my head feels like a bundle of Gordian knots. Try to tease out a loose end, it just pulls the whole thing tighter. I get why they’re trying to concentrate on one aspect, but again, knots. I’m trying to have patience, but at the same time these bills aren’t going anywhere. If I don’t pay them my Right To Exist is revoked and all of the effort was for nothing.

I bought a cheap silicone grip case for my 3DS XL. Night and day difference. Not so cheap was the Satisfye Switch grip, but they both make playing handheld so much more pleasant. Both *systems sacrificed ergonomics for portability. Adding grips reduces portability in exchange for ergonomics. I’m okay with that.

I was diagnosed about 20 years ago. Went through the pharma-go-round and all that. I remember it pretty well considering they the only med to do anything was Adderall and what it did was give me panic attacks for routine work problems.

Fast forward to last year and needing serious mental health treatment. Psychiatrist after talking to me for 20 minutes: “I don’t think you have ADHD.” APN from a different practice: “You’re just trying to get stimulants.” I tried tracking down my old doctor, practice was closed. Found him elsewhere, has no access to the old records.

Got myself a full neuropsych exam. ADHD, autism, PTSD, possible bipolar II. Neat.

Fast forward another year. Still on the pharma-go-round. Still not on ADHD meds. Turns out my depression is treatment-resistant. But at least I found providers that aren’t writing me off based on vibes or whatever.

Doesn’t matter, bait headline worked wonderfully.

Here’s a sampling:

Aye.

In general, if someone ND is complaining about X, equating it to NT X doesn’t work. They have the same name, yes. That’s because we don’t have words for X² or X³ etc. Imagine if house cats, ocelots, pumas, and tigers were all called “cats.”

“A stray cat wandered in and it looks hungry.”

“So, what’s the big deal? We have three cats at home. Just give them some kibble.”

“I think it plans on eating me.”

“Stop exaggerating.”

This also works as a reply to OP’s question.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

How to piss off management with one simple word.
