I have ADHD with ASD tendencies, despite not being autistic (long story). People like us are more frequently the types who find something new to be interesting, then dive in and learn EVERYTHING about it. For example, I recently bought a new car and spent days near obsessively learning about it. How it works (first electric car), how to model current vs acceleration, how to tear it down and rebuild it, etc. I’m now in the process of compiling a FAQ for my wife, who doesn’t share my obsessive tendencies and can’t retain my frequent “hey sweetie, this is interesting!” data dumps, and setting up monitoring and automations for it on our home lab.

I used to think this was what everyone did. Turns out it’s not normal.

I just tried this and it’s genius! I haven’t ever given side mirror adjustment any thought.

Idaho, the South of the North. I now live in Washington, where that kind of shit doesn’t fly.

No, you’re fine! I didn’t specify. I lived with it for so long, it didn’t even occur to me to outline the process.

Perfect five out of seven.

Nice

We had to fix it or arrange to have it fixed, then the landlord would verify it was fixed to their satisfaction. The landlord was otherwise hands off until it exceeded the cost limit. This was the norm for the area.

They provide maintenance free housing…

Keep in mind this isn’t always the case. Landlords where I used to live are increasingly requiring tenants to pay for some maintenance costs. A past landlord had us pay for anything $300 or less.

This is an art form if you play a lawful good face character and your DM says you aren’t allowed to lie.

This is the real pro tip.

It actually is the seed of the coffee plant.

After reading that, I think calling O’Leary a garbage human is an insult to garbage everywhere.

I also use Nova Launcher and had no idea you could do that! Thanks for letting me know.

I keep all my Google icons quarantined in one folder. Case in point:

Ummm, yeah, me too… Discounts…🏴‍☠️🦜

My wife and I are also neurodiverse and this is EXACTLY what we needed based on recent conversations.

Just a one off gamble aided by a cocktail of ADHD impulsiveness, COVID anxiety, and the stress of living in a 5th wheel with three cats, a dog, and my wife. We did some weird shit.

We were living with family and we had no rent/mortgage for a few months. We live in a high cost of living area, so not having that payment means having an extra $2k+ per month. I miss that part but not much else.

Rezolute. They’re a biopharma company.

Not super rich, but we’d be doing substantially better financially if this went differently.

The year: 2020. I was playing with the stock market and decided to buy 10,000 shares of the cheapest stock, just because it was funny to say I had 10k shares in anything. It cost about $800.

A couple of months later, lo and behold, my $800 was worth about $5000! “Holy shit,” I said, “I made money on penny stocks!” I promptly sold all of it.

Several months later, I check on it again. The company has announced new technology and its share price has skyrocketed, from a few cents per stock to $25. I could have made $250k, but instead made $5k.

You may know this, but if not…

Keep in mind they’re likely referring to the philosophy of liberalism, not the United States “liberal=progressive/left leaning”.

I agree, but I have a problem I don’t know how to overcome. Maybe someone here has an idea.

I’m ADHD as fuck.

It’s the inattentive type and it cuts both ways. It’s not uncommon for me to turn on my phone and get distracted from what I had intended to do by notifications. On the flip side, if I don’t have notifications to let me know to check something, I may just forget the app exists entirely. If it’s something important, that’s not great.

Anyone have any ideas?
