If I could get something like this for my steam deck + Xbox controller, I’d be sooooo happy

This is me, so much. Both my parents, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents. After I got my diagnosis, it’s like all of a sudden my family’s whole history of immigrant trauma snapped into relief.

Heavy lifting is the only thing that’s stuck for the way my brain works. I used a program called 5x5:

• only 5 different lifts to learn, each full body so there’s no fiddly minmaxing
• more or less timeboxed. 5 sets of 5 reps 3 times with about a minute between each rep and set. To improve, you add more weight, not spend more time
• consistent, once you get the routine down, and you know roughly how long it’ll take, you can just let your body take over, coast on muscle memory and motor neurons, zone back in in an hour when you’re done
• numeric satisfaction as your weights increase in fixed increments.
• immediate gratification because functional strength is neat and comes on surprisingly fast

Downside: So hungry, all the time.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been active. I used to live in an apartment directly above a gym. Now I live in the boonies and need to convert my carport into a garage before I can buy a weight set.

Soop coop

Depends on how they pronounce it

Always felt more like a hammer to me.

I hate that thing

Only if it’s one per extremity. Like running around on your middle fingers

If you want to talk weird, each leg on a horse is actually one really long finger.

Gandhi. Seriously. Sleeping habits aside, dude was pro-apartheid.

Sorry, I’m still watching the opening sequence of motion picture, I’ll let you know what I think when it’s done.

But for real, I feel like the last season of Picard was finally a chance to see the TNG TV characters in action in a TNG movie.

I call this my “rule of three” - I wait until I’ve seen “something” three times before deciding on an abstraction. Two isn’t enough to get an idea of all the potential angles, and if you don’t touch it a third time, it’s probably not important enough to warrant the effort and risk of a refactor

Funniest for me is Starship Mine, for several reasons.

You don’t have super powers, you’re not having a “spiritual crisis,” you have ADHD and you’re losing your shit. See a doctor. Medicine is good.

That’s it. That would basically rewrite the last 18 years of my life (not that it’s been bad, but I lost out on doing cool stuff in my 20s to figuring out I had, and how to deal with, my mental illness)

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

Not enough people consider the origin of these words, trying to use them divorced from the thing that actually makes it a pejorative. Growing up, “gay” was another one people tried to use as an insult “non-homophobically”

It’s poisonous for a reason

Easy! Run it on fusion!

“healthy unemployment rate”

/me waves from that place

It’s absolutely a thing. It was a game changer for me when I gave up fighting it and just accepted that “whelp, my brain’s just gonna brain today.” If you can, just try to give yourself what you need and slow down. It is what it is.

I also find something satisfying about doing a big methodical cleanup after I feel better from a slump, your milage may vary.

Misread “worm” as “woman” at first, was concerned.
