raises hand please tell me liking star trek isn't an ADHD symptom
Ahem. I too, like Star Trek.
What are your feelings on charcuterie and mechanical keyboards?
Listen here you little shit
If you look into ergonomic keyboards, vast majority of mechanical keyboards look like trash afterwards.
charcuterie: love it but it's a lot more difficult now that both meat and milk hurt tummy :(
mechanical keyboards: now this one I don't get, personally. i need my peripherals to be as quiet and compact as possible for sensory filtering and portability
You can do quiet and compact, mechanical, believe it or not! In that case, in my opinion, it would be all about the tactile sensations.
… is there a wrong number? We can forgive people for discovering it late in life and not watching it enough I think.
I haven’t watched since it went to paramount+.
I'm actually writing a book on this. Take RSD, the new darling of ADHD "influencers", for example: the concept that fear of rejection is an ADHD trait, and that non ADHD people ignore rejection is so preposterous it makes me mad.
Think of the whole sociodynamics of teen and young adulthood, for example, or the billion dollar industries based on catering to people's fear of rejection. Most people crave acceptance, praise, being valued, etc. We are social animals.
Lots more in the book.
I'm wring the book in spurts of hyper focus, with days or weeks between these, of course. We do have major, objective challenges.
A lot of the "traits" I had that I connected to my ADHD was ironically not from the internet but from this book by Michele Novotni, PhD "What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don't". When I did, I functioned way better. If I learned earlier I wouldn't have suffered and lost lifelong opportunities.
That's my experience in this /c/community too.
My wife doesn't understand why I always clean every dish/pot/utensil as soon as it's done being used, even before I sit down to eat. If I leave even just a stray fork to be cleaned later, I'll just keep stacking dirty things to be cleaned with it later until I run out of dishes, run out of room, or both.
Solution that somehow worked out for me: Moving together with friends :P
i just moved in with a roommate who's barely ever home and I've done more cleaning in the last 2 months than I have in 5 years lol
she's not even a neat freak but my brain is like "we have to keep the apartment tidy because another human lives here." my mean fuckin brain... I'm a human too why didn't I deserve a clean apartment when I lived alone ;_;
You know what you did!
/s
When I lived alone I ended up airbnbing my spare room. It was sometimes stressful, but it meant my house was constantly tidy. As soon it was just me the entire house would sink in to madness.
I lived with a friend for a month while he didn't have a place, my apartment has never before or after been so clean. I guess it's because I don't want other people see how messy I am, so I end up being not messy.
Is anyone else concerned by that faucet? I have never seen a faucet like that in my life.
This faucet is not electrified but we do have heated water by electricity in Brazil.. Yeah its kinda dangerous but we have more important things to worry about
Ikr!
This is a very common faucet in Brazil.
They drink water?
Oh I missed the sponge.
I thought this was one of "only poor people drink from the tap" memes.
Rich people drink fridge, or bottled water.
it tends to be the opposite, doesn't it though? poor people are more likely to live in places where tap water isn't good for drinking so they buy bottled
What, washing a glass by hand?
I know right, who would use a plastic disposable sponge instead of a reusable kitchen towel in their own home?
