The monkey that (I think) can see my ears

Makes it simpler without the if-clause.

Parentheses are optional, but help with readability imo

Probably long enough to make yourself slightly unwell, get a test from the doctor, and sue the company for not providing you with all the nutrients they claim! Lol

Does anyone else

Yes

I’ve never met anyone in person who’s even heard of Lemmy. Well, at least whenever it’s brought up 😅

it escalates into an emergency, at which point you don’t really need dopamine to deal with it anymore, now that you have adrenaline.

Oh, that’s why that happens

And be angry at the fire for interrupting you? And forget what the comment was about and just send it, hoping the response made sense but it doesn’t matter anyway because you forgot what the comment you were replying to is about and what the post was about and hey let’s open another app?

ADHD can feel like you’re putting in 350% of effort 100% of the time but only achieving 50% of what others achieve, and then being treated like you only put in 10%.

My whole childhood & life before diagnosis, my intelligence and literally everything am good at was used as proof up career & academic & household stuff out of spite.

The paradox of #ADHD - being excellent at complex, high-stimulus tasks and fuck- all at routine, “easy” tasks was a weapon in the hands of parents, teachers, & employers and a constant abusive echo in my brain.

What internalized was that accomplishments that were fun or that came easy to me had no value, only the ones that involve effort “count.” But the things that involved the most effort for me were mundane tasks that came easy to others, so they had no value, either.

ADHD involves SO many micromoments of shame. Stepping Over the pile of laundry. Re- remembering the bill you still haven’t paid. The sink full of dishes and the fridge leftovers lurking in the back. The small but recurring should have" is cumulative and it’s painful.

The last one’s text wasn’t "Select"able on my phone

I don’t think it’s talked about because it’s missing the point, isn’t it? It’s about digital security and privacy. The fact that it’s a social media platform doesn’t make a difference. If a mobile game were able to harvest data inappropriately the same way, wouldn’t the problem be the same?

Not that I agree with the ban, but making it about freedom of speech seems like a stretch to me.

Yeah, see? I didn’t read that. And I’m not going to read anything you post/comment with this account.

A 5-paragraph shitpost is also stupid. Do most people even read them to the end?

I’m guessing this is satire, but it’s also just not funny.

If this were a serious question, I’d answer it with “/s”. That’s the way to do it on the internet

I’m on Voyager and sh.itjust.works, and they’re still not working for me, lol

If one wants to individually help reduce their carbon footprint, the biggest things one could do is to…

• Not have children
• Not eat meat (or animal by-products)
• Not take international flights

Some people want kids, and some people want to travel. Some people want to eat meat, and that’s ok too. But I’m pretty sure those are the top 3 things an individual can do to reduce their personal carbon footprint.

Since others have been poking fun but not helping…

“Who’s” = “Who is”. So the post title asks “Who is rolling grave […]”.

Instead, it should be “whose”, which is the possessive form of “who”. It’s equivalent to “yours” or “his”.

• Air conditioning
• Chocolate
• Coffee

All 3 are things that are reasonably likely to have troublesome accessibility in my lifetime.

It’s not just proofreading, but people not knowing English grammar.

People seem to be using apostrophes to pluralize words because they get a red line for things like “trys” and notice that “try’s” makes the red line go away.

Ironically, it seems to be more common amongst monolingual English speakers.

Turning them into letters just seems harder to me, lol

I don’t know if that’s a problem with society so much as it is a problem with reality.

…or a problem with time and sequences of events.

You can and should talk about those things early on. But there’s a difference between…

Do you want to have kids?

(which is about ensuring an alignment of values)

And…

What should we name our kids?

(which is trying to get too serious too quickly)

I think it’s more like spicy food. Tons of different ways to make food spicy. It’s generally a little more rough than other “easier” foods, and some people just can’t handle it at all.

And of course, there’s always going to be ultra-spicy food that will leave even fans of less-spicy food to wonder “Does anybody actually eat that for fun?”
