Use Coursera to take a Certification in an area that interests you like IT or bookkeeping. I found it dead easy and the courses were broken down into really small units that I could finish a few a day.

I saw that roll-up piano she’s playing in this episide when I was a kid and I was in love with it. I don’t even play piano but the idea of flexible, roll-up electronics stuck with me over the decades.

Told my teacher I preferred “the movies in my head” and earned myself a EEG to check for epilepsy as a 10 year old. No always explain my vivid imagination.

For reference, they still sell these too: Full Sheets

It’s en-shititfication because the en- prefix means (among other things) to “cause to be”

So as long as they are making it worse, they are enshitifying it.

I’m happy to report Straterra leaves me personally totally intact. I get a little more bored on the weekends but otherwise feel fine. I only drink socially but so far Alcohol presents no issues. I’m a full-time stoner and I haven’t noticed any differences in my Cannabis effects. I do smoke just a little less because I’m a little more focused during the day but it’s not a big difference.

I got off stimulants 20 years ago because I hated feeling like I was ‘either on or off’ and Straterra has given me a steady middle ground that’s supremely pleasant. I was very against meds but after I hit 40 and was working from home over pandemic my symptoms just weren’t manageable any more and Straterra helped immensely.

I’ve been on Straterra for about 18 months.

You do need to take it every day because the drug builds up in your system over about 3 weeks to the correct levels. It adjusts how much of your norepinephrine gets reused and so it takes some time to take full effect. I also was in the habit of only taking stims on work days and this will not work for that, it needs some time.

The biggest side effect I or anyone I know has had is some lightheadedness right before my next dose. I ended up getting split doses 12 hours apart but you can also bump the dose up to avoid this, I’ve been told.

Compared to stimulants, I prefer the steadyness of Straterra. I don’t wake up in a panic state every morning, I think thought a problem first before a knee-jerk reaction sets in, and I can focus on my work without being constantly side-tracked, and I still feel like “myself” and can engage in my creative work day after day in a sustainable way.

Best of luck to you!

Yeah, Baldur’s Gate 3 for certain. Shadowheart, Astariaon and Wyll, left to right. The red icon mean Wyll has 70% chance to hit with that Eldritch Blast.

I was at a party with a bunch of friends getting pumped of a night of partying and the news stopped the party completely. Killed the vibe and we had a quiet night in. It was erie how it affected people.

If you know, you know. This one hit hard.

Same but with a 30 minute intermission where I explain to my kids who everyone at The Council of Elrond is.

They found and translated a bunch of tablets of letters to him that were found all together. As I remember, there were several complaints about the quality of the copper and they decided the building they were found in must have been his workshop. It’s possible he has happy customers who just didn’t write him letters.

For ducks sake:

If it was “for another reindeer was conceived.” then the line would rhyme properly and fit into the song.

ADHD makes you work 2-3x as hard all the time about everything you care about so when compared to a regular person we are fucking superstars at working our asses off just to get along.

Unfortunately nothing is measured in effort and caring alone. So until you also get good at whatever it is you’re doing, you don’t get any notice. So we appear from the outside to go from okay to amazing at things pretty quickly and faster than other people, but it’s really because we’re either working 200% or not at all.

Don’t sweat the grade. You’ve now burned into your memory this failure and you will have an easier time remembering to stop and check your files for that kind of error before submitting. I’ve been in the workplace 20 years now and I have 1000 past disasters whispering in my ear every time I do something so my work is exemplary compared to my coworkers and I look like I have a superpower. I just have a lot of experience failing first.

There’s way more garlic in my hummus

I say tahini and peanut butter are the same thing because a tahini and jelly sandwich is pretty good.

Thanks for reminding me I could use Google Lens to translate the German Memes.

According to that this joke goes: My Dad asked me if I have a favorite fruit. I told him “Papa, ja!” Literally “dad, yes!” But also pun for “papaya,” a tropical fruit.

A+, good joke and not too bad to translate.
