This might not work long term but for my ADHD I pit a timer for my task.

Depending on the task, I will come up with a time just long enough to complete it. I’ll start the timer and be so busy rushing I don’t even think about how much I hate it. Just blaze through it as fast as possible.

You get to pursue all of the really niche crafts. Things like clock making and random complicated stuff like that.

I don’t think one could ever be bored with enough curiosity, and the means to pursue it.

Isn’t the party in power pro Russian? Would make sense then.

Soup!

This is the key behind the fertility crisis of first world countries. SHITS TOO EXPENSIVE. A house is 10 years worth of income, college like 3 years worth, a car (which needs to be replaced every 5-10 years) around a years worth, plus food, bills, taxes and all of this other shit makes it impossible.

I met a lot of people with traumatic histories, and were very insecure. They are utterly exhausting to be around. Constant nitpicking, valid criticism with brutal delivery. Make excuses to undermine others accomplishments.

They are not bad people, or have malicious intentions, but can only be described as utterly exhausting. You are always on edge.

I’m glad people still admire altruism. I have ADHD and a weird symptom of it is a “rigid moral compass” and a “strong sense of righteousness”.

I had pretty cynical and rich parents that were very skeptical of my worldview and attitude. I sort of accepted that I’d remain alone by " doing the right thing". Glad to see it may not be that way 🤞

There are some services I use that make like a million charges under a dollar. Those are really hard to manage so I use a privacy card with a spending limit to keep track of them.

I have elderly family that seem miserable because they never bother to learn or achieve anything since they are “too old” for it to matter.

They assume retirement is just lounging around all day until you die. They don’t pursue hobbies, read books and are not very active since it “doesn’t matter” .

Figuring out abusive relationships for me was hard because I knew friends with good intentions, and gave valid criticism but were absolutely brutal about it.

Now I very rarely associate with very insecure people. They are always looking to “prove” themselves, often by putting others down.

They can’t just accept someone’s accomplishment, they have to go “well actually you got help from so and so…” And always try to undermine your achievements. Extremely mentally exhausting people.

I remember a story of a guy talking about how the store reeked and smelled terrible. After doing tons of searching at the epicenter of the smell, turns out some guy hid a 5 pound beef brisket on the bottom shelf, hidden behind a bunch of breakfast cereal.

The suddens of all

A couple spoonfuls of spaghettios. You know, as a snack.

Just made a saw sharpening vice and a couple file handles.

Planning on building a kiln to dry oak and pine boards, that I hopefully cut myself.

In would look into old workstations with decent grapchis cards.

They are super sturdy, so toddler proof, reliable, usually have good repairability and upgradability and can be found cheap. I’ll let someone else fill you in on what specs you want since that’s a long note.

The state I live in, they are also illegal to expire. The problem is that companies blatantly break the law with zero consequences.

If you try to use an expired card, it will automatically decline, and an employee physically cannot override it. To use your money you have to go online and submit a complaint/ticket to customer support. Good fucking luck getting a response.

The only way after that is to threaten to sue, or sue. Sueing can cost thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars, which is completely ridiculous and why nobody does it. Thats why even though many states outlaw expiring giftcards, most of them still have expiration dates in blatant violation.

I feel like at that point you just invite them to dinner/massage/etc. Much better way to bond anyway. Plus if someone is rare to prioritize fun, a bunch of gift cards to random ass places like rpg quests is stressful for those on an already tight schedule.

Having a bunch of gift cards you know you HAVE to use is stressful!

Never have I ever been stung by a bee, wasp or hornet. I’m not scared of bees either, ill walk right up to them and check em out. I’ve grabbed bees and pulled them out of water, I’ve let them trot all over me and I don’t mind, neither do they.

Netflix killing password sharing despite how easy piracy is. Massive increase in subscriptions
