You start to live out of spite. If we don’t mean jack shit to the world and there is no grand plan or purpose for our existence, fuck it, find your own just to spite the nothingness.

In all honesty, I was there (sort of) a couple years ago, started reading philosophy and it kinda helped. Went from stoicism, to nihilism, and landed on absurdism.

But you could add some truck nuts behind every train car and some bull horns on the front.

Or a weirwood grove in a horrible timeline where the North became suburbanized.

Hunt Showdown with my mates, really loving this event. Had been burned out of the game for a long time but it feels sorta new now.

Crusader Kings 3, loving Tours and Tournaments. Hadn’t played much ck3 till now, I miss some features from CK2 but, I’m sure it’ll get there eventually. Not like CK2 was perfect out of the box.

Project Zomboid: doing a TLoU inspired run with a bunch of mods on apocalypse settings. It’s pretty hard, but very fun.

Rimworld: always there when I need it. Currently running a mafioso vampires run, pretty fun, but I think I’m ready to move on.

Worst thing is I know better and still cant keep my damn mouth shut

OP didn’t cut off her mum because of her identity, they did so because their mum didn’t respect them or their wishes. Have a good day, dude, you’re a lost cause.

Not very polite or reasonable ngl

Honestly OP, I’d look into third party controllers. I’m assuming you’re gaming on PS, but if you’re gaming on PC, 8bitdo makes bang for buck xinput controllers. I got the pro (I think, has paddles round back) and it’s held up through Rocket League, Elden Ring, Fifa, and For Honor. No drift issues just yet.

The one thing I hate about the sub feed is that I can’t seem to filter out shorts. I have no interest in shorts, and they make up more than half of my feed.

This is very common if you switch languages often. Half the time I’m typing something in spanish and want an english word it jumps the gun and outputs a word I’ve never ever used, and viceversa. That said, I still prefer swipe.

In my corner of the world we’re not there yet, a handful of places have adopted online menus but even those are a hassle. Most places just upload their physical menus as a pdf and call it a day, the others ignore basic principles of design and make the site overcomplicated.

If it were to be implemented in some new restaurant, I hope it gets implemented as you describe it, sounds like a dream.

I’m SzPD and not from the states. Had to go through Houston last year on a connection flight, when I first saw those tablets in the airport I thought it would’ve been the bees knees. Thing is, those things are so overloaded with useless shit (like ads) I just wanted to talk to a waiter. So many clicks to get to the main courses on offer, and there wasn’t any available space for notes, in case a costumer had a specific need (allergies for example). Plus, signal was so damn slow it took a while for it to load the dishes’ pictures.

No contact ordering has potential but it needs UX designers on top of the whole thing in order to make it more convenient and faster than just telling the waiter what you want.

Atm, Niagara. Like it much better than the default one.

Woah, way more info than I thought I would get. Thanks! I’ll look into it.

I’m a long time Android user but have rarely gone further than changing the launcher regarding costumization. Can anyone ELI5 the benefits I would have, as a regular consumer who uses his phone to just text and browse lemmy and the internet from time to time, and is just starting to learn about FOSS?

Not like I would be able to install this, I think. I’m on a Redmi 10 atm. I just want to learn.

Oof, sounds like a tough situation, man. Little guy has a lot of growing up to do, still. How long ago was his last psych test? 'cus I do the shutting myself up in my room. Shrink tells me it’s because of my szpd. If he’s got that, that would make his emotional situation a tad bit more understandable. It usually starts showing up after 11 years, and is expressed more often in males. There’s little more to do with it other than CBT, if the patient thinks it ought to be fixed.

Speaking of CBT, might be something worth looking into. Haven’t tried it myself, at least, not guided by a professional, but I’ve heard great things about it. Best of luck, man. Glad to hear you’re trying your best to help the kid, too many ND kids go without.

Second to last paragraph hit home, ngl. I have adhd, gad, szpd and depression, my mum has adhd and probably either BPD or depression but refuses treatment. For a while there during the pandemic we were like oil and water. So, I can relate to your step kid.

We’re doing much better now, but it took some time. Not sure where the rift is between your step kid and your partner, mine was values with my mum. It took boundaries being drawn by me for our relationship to get better. After it got better I started going to therapy, and my shrink hasn’t suggested a better way to deal with the situation so, yeah. Not sure if this is any help but, yeah.

Had a psychiatrist tell me that, didn’t like that guy much ngl.

Learnt about it very recently myself.

Word of warning: the key word for many ADHD (and other mental disorders) is the word “often”. Most people forget where they left their keys or wallet, most people ramble from time to time, and most people feel rejected from constructive criticism from time to time. When it happens so frequently it becomes a hindrance to day to day life and significantly decreases performance and quality of life when compared to other, seemingly “normal” people, that’s when it might be time to book an appointment with the doctor.
