The half eaten cold food was the most personal part of this personal attack.

Mine is a really big dog, and it’s leash is tied to me.

Because it often drags me off to pursue stuff, whether I want to or not.

I am entirely over ‘blank won’t fuck you’ as a response to shit. It’s cliched and trite and kills a conversation.

Drugs!

But the more helpful answer is; I break it down into as many steps as possible in a document or on a piece of paper. Then, when looking at all that is overwhelming, I take the first few steps and put them on their own document. And then I plan a break after those.

And at the end of the break I take the next few.

Now you might be wondering- “flicker, what if I look at that list, and I still can’t figure out where to start?”

And my answer is, if I made the list of steps and it still seems like too much, I try making a list for those steps.

But I also treat it like an addict does kicking their addiction.

This huge list might seem like a lot, but even if I can’t do it all, even if I can’t do much? I can do this one thing. I put on music to make it easier to tolerate, or TV in the background, or both, and resolve to do just one thing.

Because there’s times when one thing is too many. So if I do one, I beat that record.

If I do the one thing, I might do another? But that’s to decide after the one thing. Just doing one is a big deal. We will start there.

*while the stimulant medication is in effect

Lol I’m ridiculous

I’m glad this was your takeaway as well because it felt to me like the second person was belittling the first, and… they really should shut the fuck up.

There’s misplaced, lost, and I put it somewhere safe.

The last one is the most dangerous and you’ll never see it again.

This is the ADHD memes community.

It gets very frustrating when people comment on every meme suggesting that this feeling might be caused by something else. ADHD unfortunately has to fight pretty powerfully to occupy a space for just ADHD.

I have family visiting later this week so I have a ton of stuff I want done before they get here…

So of course I played House Flipper all day.

Additionally, I work 12 hour shifts, so I either have to do an IR in the afternoon, or an XR in the late morning…

There’s a thing called instant release and it tends to last only like 4 hours. 4 hours is what the doctors say- for me, it lasts about 1 and a half, or 2.

No one who has been paying attention is surprised.

As I’ve said in the last however many posts people made to YPTB about feddit- yes, you guys have been breaking the rules. But these rules are fucked, so that is a good thing!

Do the unlawful thing in a space where the laws are wrong and immoral and unjust! Why is this so hard to understand? Get banned by assholes! Wear that shit with pride! Call a nazi a nazi to their face! Anyone protecting nazis is a bastard! Scream that genocide is real! Getting banned from an online space isn’t even a slap on the wrist. It’s so barely inconvenient, it’s literally the least you can do!

4!

I have terrible news for you.

People on the internet will argue about anything, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. I get that you’re trying to stir up a specific type of person, so you can antagonize them, and I respect that, but you can’t assume anything you say will go uncontested.

It’s smart to pick the fight you want to have, but you don’t even have to try that hard. And there will be lots of places on the internet where people, even ones who agree with you, aren’t trying to see reminders of the kind of stupid shit that exists in this world. That’s okay! You can’t spend every minute of your day engaging with assholes like your post might have attracted! It’s bad for the long-term health.

Anyway, good luck. I hope you get whatever stimulus you were hoping for, and have a good day.

Any community member is allowed to rule on any action placed here. We’ve even had mods pre-emptively post their own actions here for judgement. That’s not stirring the pot, that’s normal community engagement. (It would be stirring the pot if she had engaged with the topic, and not the mod action. Big diff.)

I really didn’t want to actually post a response here but your mugging for the audience, “hey look at this comment!” behavior is such a pet peeve of mine. If you’re going to accuse Ada of being a zionist, accuse her. If you’re going to complain about the mod action, do that. But “here’s a quote from someone else, and I’m going to side-eye the situation” is so… gutless, and adds nothing.

I was a big fan. There were some less awesome ones, and some very awesome ones, and some dropped storylines, but overall I recommend.

I get by on never taking my meds on my days off. It works pretty well for me. I’m aware I might be one of the lucky ones.

This needs to go to flippanarchy.

You mentioned that already. If you are arguing with someone, you can stop.

Other people reporting them for being rude, while they’re arguing with you, doesn’t actually support your action. I know it feels like it’s not fair that a regular user can argue with you, and you’re supposed to take it, but that comes with the territory of being a mod.

If someone is tilting you, or annoying you, or arguing and you are making no progress, you need to learn to disengage and move on. You don’t need to reply to someone just because you believe they’re wrong. People will always be wrong on the internet.
