I’m pretty sure ours still has junk in it from the last family that lived here.

It could be GMO’d to make the leaf thicker

It does get very predictable and repetitive. I feel like the conversation goes the same way under each political meme.

An actual shitpost. Finally.

I hate when it codes

It lets you do so many obscure things and I love it. You get treated like you are fully in charge.

He was a lone wolf and they’re acting like the Mafia might come to free him any moment

This is great news!

looking into what it would take to do collaborative sketching in Rnote.

I was just thinking about this

Whaaaat

I watched this video, in Russian

Did you have to study

This was already famously a problem back in the times of The Lebowski

I feel like many people are secretly hoping for a refresher. Nobody just wants to say it out loud.

I am proud to now be able to say with certainty that my '25 will be better than my '24.

You’d be correct, the first episode is indeed very dull and boring. I’d recommend to start from Season 4.

I feel like Seinfeld reveled in the naughty pleasure of schadenfreude

Seinfeld should be the baseline for commonsense humour

There’s some theory about how we intuitively avoid or engage with things depending on real and perceived levels of effort

Hmm yes I’ve definitely experienced this too. Do you have any pointers on what to read? It woukd really help me if I could understand my seemingly irrational distaste towards learning some things.

I’ll check out Zack Fredman. So you say it’s good to be on the lookout for ND people to take inspiration from? There are YTers like William Osman, Michael Reeves, and Adam Savage who I believe have a very similar neurotype to me. Unfortunately their solution was to become youtubers which isn’t of much help to me (although I understand there are jobs with similar workflows).

Another option, stop putting yourself down for engaging with “unwanted distractions”. Unless it’s something that’s going to ruin your life, try embracing it fully.

I guess? It’s not that the old hobby I found in my cupboard when looking for sth else was an unwanted distraction in my life – it’s that it was an unwanted distraction in that specific moment. I’d have been happy to embrace it fully earlier that morning had I remembered I’d had it*. The problem was that it cropped up when I needed to complete a specific task (eg. paying taxes) at which point I objectively could not go with the flow even if I wanted to and at which point it was a hinderance.

(*I guess the solution, then, is to develop a system that reminds me of all the potential things there are on offer to do whenever I’m bored.)

My wife has this fight with herself sometimes as we’re cleaning house, starting one task and ending up in the middle of multiple different cleaning activities. I do the exact same thing, the only difference is I love myself for it. I will eventually get to a clean house, and as long as I don’t keep stopping to self loathe, it will be cleaner, faster compared to an NT person. I know, because I’ve cleaned NT people’s houses and they are always blown away. I’ve got a model that is pretty close to monotropism that I think explains all these things, just cba to post about it yet.

Please do lmk, I need this!

Scotland actually had a Sturgeon as prime minister
