I left my laundry in the car yesterday.
I feel so stupid.

How did I go and pick up my laundry from the laundry room, drive back, and just.......leave it

And not realize until this morning when I was like oh I need clean underwear

ADHD/Anxiety are in the genius cat. Depression tho is in workaholic cat.

I told someone recently that I love playing FFXIV because it hits the perfect notes of dopamine success. But then there's days, like today. when I could totally login and ACHIEVE a lot (.... in a game...) but I just..... don't have the motivation.

@GreenFlashlight Not specifically, but when you can manage planet wide communications with any handheld device, is localized wifi worth mentioning other than as a downgrade.

I suppose I'm just thinking of all the times someone had to walk from the bridge to engineering or wherever with a data padd instead of just, I dunno, emailing Geordi's work account with the specs for whatever damn thing they needed to make the deflector dish do this episode.

The same reason that until the pandemic people thought multiple in-person meetings a day was required.

@Derp said in Fun Stuff on Amazon (or Wherever):

@Auspice , this one is for you:

Pikachu and Bulbasaur Xenomorph

I am both intrigued and horrified.

Another Life is the best sci-fi I've watched in a while.

@Wretched said in The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves):

Look my posing style.

I will never apologize for my semi-colons

But 100% my friendship with @Paradox did begin with my going 'you use a lot of semi-colons too!'
(And IIRC he also has add/ADHD so hmm!)

I watched it twice. So good. Can't wait for next season.

I might have to watch it again. I love it. I can't believe I almost slept on it.

The story is great. The horror elements are awesome. And the characters are wonderful. I want to snuggle William he's such a cinnamon roll.

Sean Connery

I have no further words.

'Loud and annoying quiet people' hits me hard.

I had a friend pressure me to prune my tabs recently. I resisted so hard but I honestly needed it.

Kitties.

I have two now.

I’ll post pictures when they stop hiding from the world.

Guess what their names are?

Use GIFs only.

You already told us.

Fellow four-eyed nerds who also wear facemasks!

Do your glasses fog up when you breathe? If so have you found any ways to fix this? It bugs me, but the reviews for anti-fog sprays on Amazon show... iffy results at best.

I just wear masks that I can sort of nudge up beneath my glasses. So long as my glasses overlap the mask, I do OK.

It helps that I mostly wear my (prescription) sunglasses when I go out. Which...... doesn't help when I go in stores and push them up on my head and become effectively partially blind, but my old pair of glasses are practically worthless so. XD

But yeah: masks that can nudge up just under the bottom edge of the glasses lessens the tendency to fog. Doesn't negate it, but it helps.

I forget where the old thread is, but. I remember some people being bummed they missed it.

The holiday depression is real this year.

I was put on wellbutrin for depression.
It's actually been kind of an issue when it comes to getting ADHD treatment (when I had insurance and all) because I'd repeatedly get told 'Oh, wellbutrin sometimes helps with that. Just give it time.'

IS FOUR YEARS ENOUGH TIME PEOPLE?!

@Wretched said in The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves):

what do I win if I mark all of them

tho honestly until looking at this I've been like haha maybe I don't have adhd because I'm not hyper at all

but I do all of these.
every
single
one

Fun idea for the holidays:

Go on UNICEF's site
Donate money for vaccines ($19 will get like, 100 polio vaccines)
Donate in the name of an anti-vaxxer relative
Send them a card letting them know

(Note: you need to do this through the 'Shop' link vs. the standard Donate button. I linked directly to it. It's their 'inspired gifts.')

I wish someone would be my cats' favorite. For even a day.

Dozens of toys. A cat tree. But no, this damn 20lb asshole wants me to hold him ALL DAY LONG and will yell and dig claws into me when I don't.

(And people are all 'omg you're so mean to your cat' when I'm streaming and saying 'No' 'Stop' etc to him. I'M NOT MEAN I JUST WANT SOME TIME TO MYSELF.)

@SilentHills said in RL things I love:

@Auspice Are the stars made out of glossy paper?!

It's a shiny-shimmery paper I ordered specially.
This paper! It's the proper length/size for folding stars.

If you order it, be warned that it ships from Singapore so it takes a while to arrive. But it is v. good paper for it. Even with my being rusty in folding, I only had a few that didn't come out right and had to be thrown out.

"Well, cars believe in you so..."

I'm glad someone does.
