Can you fire customers?

@Auspice cursed me with a narrative that I had no choice but to embrace.

Ask not for whom the birb honks. It honks for thee.

@surreality

@Auspice

Yes. Also vim is better than emacs and people who use the latter are weak minded.

@surreality said in Tablet keyboard:

Some people make rape jokes thinking they're just being funny, too. "I was just being funny!" is not a universal defense.

Yeah, but rape jokes are never funny, but jokes about people being goofballs and spending a lot of money on silly things are always funny.

@Warma-Sheen

ADHD is a relatively well studied condition. It is not the brain functioning faster than normal, although it certainly can feel like that. It belongs to a vlass of diseases known as executive function disorders. OCD is another executive function disorder.

The drugs for OCD and ADHD do not slow the brain down. Very few drugs actually do, and the ones that do tend to be reserved for people with epilepsy and severe anxiety.

Keep it up and you're gonna catch these wings hands

@Ganymede said in Dark Ages Vampire -- Terra Mariana:

Salubri: Humanists to a fault, the altruistic Salubri find themselves drawn to wherever the Crusades may take them, where they can tend to the needy, the sick, and the infirm, as much as trying to relieve the suffering of the victims’ family. Auspex, Celerity, Majesty, Vigor. (V20, p. 408.)

aaaaaaaaa

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have wanted to play a Salubri ever since I learned about them but you never can because in modern settings they've either been Tremere'd or gone antitribu, which doesn't appeal to me at all.

Or Wu Zao, I guess, but I don't know a lot about them.

Update: fuck the heebies and the jeebies I just churned out a notice with two incorporated motions LIKE A BOSS

I AM (occasionally) UNSTOPPABLE

You know what's awesome? Constant low-grade anxiety interfering with your focus when you need to draft motions. I love my mental illness significantly impeding my work.

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

@Auspice I am also bad at self advocating, I always feel like a kid in the principals office when i go to the doctor.

It literally took me becoming an attorney and setting professional standards for my client relationships before I was confident enough to tell a doctor "I view this as a relationship where I tell you what is happening and you work with me to solve it, and I need to know if you view it the same way." (ETA: Pretty sure my voice was shaking as I said it, too.)

It's really hard. Try to remember who is paying whom. Doctors aren't obligated to prescribe you oxycodone for your headaches, but they sure as hell can sit down and listen to you about the pain.

@Auspice

I may very well cheat and start before November 1st!

@Auspice said in Arty stuff and Writey stuff:

Anyway, I'm not joining this year because I'm under massive deadlines at work where they, well, y'know, pay me to write. So it's hard to add NaNo on top of that I'm afraid.

Yeah, what with the whole "having to write briefs, motions, and memoranda while at work" thing, I'm very doubtful of my ability to come home and write ~1700 words per day.

Are you doing Inktober? NaNoWriMo? Other things?

Hello?

Anybody?

I'm planning a book and am lonely.

Having a scene with people with whom your IC relationship is very tetchy and your OOC relationship might be but you're too much of a coward to ask, and the scene is really nice and everybody seems to genuinely enjoy themselves.

Steal the money and use it to start unionizing. They'll thank you later.

...is that really that terrible a wait??

I have SSDs for a reason.

when I reboot my Mac, it remembers what programs I had open and relaunches them for me.
Get your fuckin' Windows to do that.

...why?
