Once upon a time this happened to me when I had classes. I kept saying I’d get up for the next one and never did (in fact I basically stopped going to class for a week).

I really knew I should go and get out of bed but the more I thought about it, the harder it got.

Eventually, I got medicated, and while sometimes my body tries to stop me from taking my meds, it’s easier to overcome that than it is to get out of bed when executive dysfunction hits.

That’s why I keep my pills right next to my bed and typically I take them immediately when my alarm goes off.

I also set out a protein shake next to them every night so I can eat “breakfast” without having to wait for them to kick in.

Probably not the best solution for everyone, but if you want a suggestion, that’s mine.

Also remember that you’re not alone and while some people might not see the struggle, that doesn’t make it any less valid. Be kind to yourself

Perhaps this is just a projection of a square from a non-Euclidean space in which the lines are in fact straight and parallel.

I think the 2D surface of a cone (or double cone) would be an appropriate space, allowing you to construct this shape such that angles and distances around geodesics are conserved in both the space itself and the projected view.

This shape in that space would have four sides of equal length connected by four right angles AND the lines would be geodesics (straight lines) that are parallel.

Well, thanks to the comments, TIL that I might hate this because I have really dry hands lol

I just started learning rust like two days ago and I haven’t had too many issues with OOP so far… is it going to get considerably worse as the complexity of my projects increases?

1x 150mg Bupropion and 2x 10mg methylphenidate?

This typically happens to me when I’m in the middle of something or when I’ve been trying to think my way through some problem for a long time.

It’s not zen because it’s like I literally don’t exist, and when I do come back around, I think “shit I’m wasting time I need to get back to things” and then it happens repeatedly so i dont make any progress.

I originally used linux because I could only get my hands on ancient or broken tech.

Then I switched to Windows again because I was able to buy a modern laptop and started university which more or less required Microsoft services.

Two years ago I started using Linux on my dual booted machines more frequently. Last year I realized I mostly didn’t need Windows so I decided to find a daily driver distro.

I forgot how easy it is to get caught up in distro hopping lol. I started with Debian because I remembered apps with Linux support typically only provide .deb packages.

Then the new KDE came out and I couldn’t wait to use it so I moved to fedora. Then, in looking into visual aesthetics, I decided I wanted to give hyprland a try and honestly just try Arch and make everything my own.

That was a mistake. Too many options to the point I was only using my computer for messing with the visuals.

I moved to fedora because it would just work, used it for a semester, and then moved back to arch (w/ xfce) and have been using it ever since.

I’d say around the switch from Arch to Fedora was when I became a Linux nerd because I realized that there isn’t really a best distro for every circumstance. My nerdiness has reached enlightenment lol

No no no

Snack the keeps, booze the purge

That’s what they meant

Cyberpunk 2077 enters the chat

First time using the internet was probably playing poptropica with my siblings.

First time really using the internet was trying to get the ancient windows XP computer in our basement to be less slow and connect to the internet secretly. Ended up going down rabbit holes leading me to learn to write simple viruses, learn what Linux was, and learn to hop on tor for anonymous chat rooms with random strangers across the world.

Sure I was super afraid of viruses and pedos, but it was a nice escape from the small religious town I was being raised in at the time. It was nice being able to talk about philosophy and my own opinions without an adult hitting me for “defying god” or saying “homeopathic medicine is pseudoscience” etc.

It’s kind of odd how nostalgic I am for basic html websites and old looking IRC clients. I’m pretty young for someone who misses “the old internet” but that was the only kind of internet interaction I could really access (without parental supervision) for a long time.

I like vocaloid music, but many of the songs are in Japanese which I don’t speak
