  • A huge part of what makes ADHD a disorder is the fact that it's incredibly difficult to form and retain habits (aka executive dysfunction). Alarms, reminders, etc. might increase the likelihood that any given task gets done, but not by much, and it doesn't guarantee that task will get done with any regularity whatsoever. The other part of executive dysfunction is difficulty with task initiation. I can't speak for every ADHD'er but, if I manage to remember something needs done, there's a solid chance I simply wont be able to get it started. I'll sit on the couch for literal hours, knowing that I need to do the laundry, that if I don't do the laundry I won't have clothes to wear tomorrow, that it'll take me 5 minutes to get the load started, that I would be so much better off if I just did them, that I would feel good having accomplished just one thing today, on and on. But my body physically won't move. Ill be sat still, staring blankly at a wall for hours, screaming at myself to just do SOMETHING, and yet I can't will myself to move.

    You saying "just set a reminder" is akin to telling a depressed person to just not be depressed. Like, gee thanks! I didn't know you can just do things. Guess I don't have "can't just do things disorder" after all!

  • I thought it was supposed to be a giant weiner bulge

  • Small ambulance, most are ~20-25 feet

  • Eat a handful of benadry, you'll meet the hat man and his shadow buddies

  • Odd, I'm brittle and soft

  • While the findings of the new research are observational and cannot prove cause and effect, the study did a good job of controlling for other factors that may influence health, such as age, body mass index or BMI, smoking, physical activity and diet in general, said Rachel Richardson, a methods support unit manager for The Cochrane Collaboration, an international nonprofit highly respected for its scientific approach to research. She was not involved in the study.

    From the article,.emphasis my own. Not saying you're wrong, and I'm skeptical myself. But I'm also not a subject matter expert or a manager for a well regarded international nonprofit

  • I went to the midnight release for Skyrim and RDR2, decided to quit while I was ahead haha

  • Sticking your dirty finger in your mouth =/= intentionally eating a handful of clay from a preferred source that is baked and seasoned with salt and vinegar. Incidental ingestion is not the same thing as intentional consumption. Are you gonna tell your kid that they need to lick their dirty hands clean?

  • I don't, but even if I did, toes don't bend like that. My partner has hypermobile joints due to a connective tissue disease and even her toes don't do that. I've outlined the "toe" in question, who's pinky toe is that huge and shaped like that?

  • And the kid has 6 toes that make no anatomical sense

  • The 2C doesn't have the connection points for a dock, that's part of the features they cut back on for the budget option. It also doesn't have the RGB or the buttons on the underside of the controller. I'm happy with my choice but I've also been tempted for the higher end version for all of that stuff too

    On the QC thing, the 8bitdo controllers are less "refined" than a dual shock or an Xbox controller. The abxy buttons have a little play side to side in them and minor stuff like that. They're slightly lower build quality than the big name controllers, but not in any way that will affect gameplay or responsiveness. The joysticks have tuneable dead zones, you can test the pressure sensitivity in the triggers, and fully configure the layout to suit your needs. They connect without a hitch and the 2.4g is very low latency. I watched a few vidoes comparing controllers when I was looking and the QC thing came up too. I was a bit apprehensive but pulled the trigger and, with the experience I've had (on cheaper controllers no less) I feel that a lot of professional reviews place an undue emphasis on their QC. They may have been lower quality in the past, but I genuinely haven't had an issue with them and they've held up great so far

  • I have two 8bitdo ultimate 2c controllers (the cheaper Xbox style controllers) and they've been great. The only thing they're missing is RGB, other than that they tick every box. I use them for my steam deck and on my bazzite PC and they work flawlessly, have held up very well in the ~8 months of regular use they've seen. My one (minor) gripe is battery life. A charge lasts several days, but my Xbox one controllers lasted about a week, sometimes more when I was using them. They're USB-C, charge pretty quick, and you can use them while they're charging so it's not a big deal but still worth mentioning

  • The original 14 points stem from Umberto Eco from his essay Ur-Fascism. There's a breakdown on the wikipedia page, and here's the full essay. The US still meets the OG 14 points too

  • What's happening now?

  • Two psychiatrists have told me that I almost certainly have ADHD but "we don't prescribe controlled substances" so they weren't going to formally diagnose me. It seems the only place I can get a diagnosis as an adult is private specialty clinics. I'm poor and the two clinics in my area aren't sliding scale (which I can't afford for most clinics anyway) so I just get to sit here with a confirmation of what I've known for years and no way to get it treated, or at the very least, put down on paper

  • Mexico is part (most) of Central America I was mistaken

  • I need to know how the penguins commute
