That’s along the lines of what I expected. I’m always just curious how our brains work, so thank you.

I always try to find an alternative to the word regardless of the context because it’s not like it’s hard to do and I’d rather not cause that reaction in anyone if possible.

It sucks that we keep doing the same thing over and over as a society as this is not the first word ruined by being used in the exact same manner as a way to bully and harass and make fun of people.

You’d think some day we’d learn that we can actually teach people not to be shitty and we don’t have to accept this behavior from people at all.

I have a question about for you about this if you don’t mind. In certain mechanical situations the word is used to describe a delay added (for example in a car engine you may use this word to describe a certain timing adjustment).

Does the word in a context like that still cause that visceral reaction or does the context make it different - is it only when used to describe people that it hits that way?

I’m only asking this because it popped into my head the other day when I was reading my service book on my engine and ran across it.

It’s kinda similar to how people commonly used a shortened form of ‘transmission’ in the automotive industry but it became a slur for trans people - I feel like I haven’t heard that one in a while so I’m guessing it’s fallen out of use, but I was just always curious if the taint of people bullying with that word crossed over into other contexts.

EDIT: Wait I’m sorry I see I misunderstood what you are asking about. I assumed you didn’t have a CarPlay screen. Disregard.

Original post:

So I haven’t tried these yet, but I’ve been watching a lot of videos about them. I’m not sure this would work for you, but I’m eying one of these for my 82 truck that still has its factory tape deck:

LAMTTO 9.26" Wireless Car Stereo Apple Carplay with 2.5K Dash Cam, 1080P Backup Camera, Portable Touchscreen GPS Navigation for Car, Car Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth, AirPlay, AUX/FM, Googel, Siri

To me, for 100 bucks this beats the heck out of replacing an otherwise decent head unit or just using Bluetooth. It can connect to a line in, then your phone connects to the device with wireless CarPlay.

You may need to confirm that your lighter loses power when the ignition is turned off, otherwise you may have to wire in to keyed power somehow, or remember to unplug it when you exit the car, but that’s really the case with any of these devices I imagine.

Aside from line out, it has a built in fm transmitter or will connect to a cars built in Bluetooth if you have that.

Again, I haven’t gotten one of these yet, but based on reviews I’ve seen, this seems to be the best one to get so far.

This is the actual list:

Neglecting Personal Development

According to Buffett, the best investment one can make is in oneself. Enhancing skills and education can boost earning potential significantly. Knowledge and abilities are assets that no one can take away from you.

Relying On Credit Cards

Credit cards can be convenient, but high interest rates can quickly overshadow any benefits if you don’t pay the full balance monthly. Buffett advises against needless spending that could lead to credit card debt.

Frequenting Bars and Pubs

Spending on social activities like drinking at bars can add up. Opting for more affordable social gatherings, like home get-togethers, can help save significantly.

Chasing the Latest Technology

New gadgets may be tempting, but often, last year’s model serves just as well. Buffett himself has a history of sticking to functional rather than flashy tech. It’s important to assess if the latest upgrades genuinely provide added value for the price.

Overspending on Clothes

Buffett, along with other billionaires, leans towards simplicity in his wardrobe. Choosing classic, durable clothes over flashy, expensive brands can result in significant savings.

Buying New Cars

Cars are notorious for their rapid depreciation. Buffett recommends buying pre-owned cars and holding onto them for as long as they’re reliable, instead of falling for the allure of the new models.

Unused Gym Memberships

Buffett promotes an active lifestyle but cautions against unused gym memberships. Free or low-cost fitness routines can be just as effective if regularly practiced.

Unnecessary Subscription Services

Subscription services, if not carefully monitored, can become a financial drain. Review these regularly and cancel those that don’t provide value.

Over-Reliance on Skincare Products

Buffett advises against overusing or needlessly combining skincare products. Finding a simple and effective routine can save both money and your skin.

Regular Nights Out

While socializing is essential, frequent nights out can be a significant expense. Opting for budget-friendly alternatives like home-cooked meals and movie nights can cut costs considerably.

Gambling

While gambling might seem like a shortcut to wealth, Buffett emphasizes the importance of understanding the odds. He urges people to make financial decisions that favor their long-term wealth accumulation, not momentary thrills.

Smoking

Smoking, beyond its health implications, is a costly habit. Quitting can lead to a significant boost in your personal budget.

Me too, but it hides under my beard so it’s not really visible anyway. It does occasionally itch, but not too bad. I like my beard more than I hate the dermatitis.

I have this and it is exactly how mine looks too. It also clears up generally within a couple of days after I shave. I also get it on my scalp and on my sternum, which I think is common with it.

Every plant is weeds

I just block em. It works great.

So I’ve been reading your comments and I hear what you are saying but I kinda feel like this goes beyond adhd and into something else.

What, I’m not sure. I can only speak from my experience, but I never feel like I have to adjust my behavior for anyone else. I am unaware of time, things not directly in front of my eyes, how loud I get, yes, but no one else notices or cares about these things, or in the case that they do, they tell me.

It seems like you’re saying you are constantly questioning everything you do (correct me if I’m wrong)- and if so, that’s not sustainable, and not something you should have to be doing. That puts an incredible amount of pressure and stress on you. This would be horrible for a neurotypical person but for someone with adhd even more so! We have too many things going on in our minds already to be able to worry about stuff like that all the time on top of it!

I almost wonder if your fear about how you might be affecting others is outsized because of a traumatic experience or chain of experiences in childhood or earlier in your life?

They make all my neurons fire at the same time and make me feel alive. So maybe not “about” adhd, but for people with adhd.

There’s plenty of other seats you can pick that don’t leave a single seat out there. If everyone had their choice they’d have an empty seat between every group of people going to the show. This is to prevent that and perfectly reasonable.

Actually now that I’ve looked it is a similar but different location lol.

I camped here and it was amazing. Cold, but amazing.

You mean back in ios3 in 2009? I wonder what phones you think everyone else had back then.

The story behind what inspired that song is pretty interesting though….

It’s more that I don’t presume to know the full reason behind every decision they make.

The A16 processor that’s just made its way to the iPhone didn’t have usb3 on chip, the new A17 on the iPhone pro does. My assumption is that next year when iPhone presumably moves to the A17 that it will then have usb3 speeds.

Not everything has to be some nefarious plot, damn.

The pro has a new processor that they’ve added usb3 to. The base uses the last generation processor which did not have that.

You’re making a lot of assumptions about their intentions and claiming that people are defending bad behavior, but it really just looks like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

It’s not built into the A16 chip that is in the iPhone, but it’s been added to the A17 that’s in the pro. You think there’s space in these devices to just add an extra chip? Get real.

It’s okay. You probably are funny, I’m just reading while falling asleep too.

Lightning to lightning cables aren’t a thing though.

And true, that might work to charge an old apple pencil but I don’t think the pencil even works with a phone, I believe that’s an iPad specific accessory.
