Long read but absolutely enlightening take from an excellent historian.

Pop shove that in your pipe and smoke it my dude 😎

Foxparks!

I was on Wellbutrin too, but it didn’t help the ADHD enough, despite improvements in mood. I’m currently on straterra because the scheduled stuff made me nervous. I think it’s working, but it’s subtle so sometimes I’m not sure.

Like a leaf on the wind.

It makes it hard to start things knowing it’s likely to end in boredom or burnout. I find it helps try to focus on the good things in life, and appreciate that life is a series of menial tasks but joy can still be found around and within despite the seeming monotony.

I sometimes will remind myself that even on my worst days, the life I live is charmed in ways I don’t always realize. I saw a note in someone’s house once that said, “Remember when you wanted what you now have.”

Mr.PoopyButthole, the hero we deserve!

I’m feeling scared because I’m worried I blacked out, made a new account and posted this.

I really appreciate this explaination, it goes past most of what I usually hear about and yet perfectly encapsulates all of the issues I’ve always had that seemed to get shrugged off by my family.

I even got passed over for a raise today because even though I excel as a service technician with the most positive reviews from customers, my paperwork isn’t consistent enough. Clerical stuff just shuts my brain down, even simple paperwork I’ve filled out hundreds of times before. I’m feeling really down about it and trying to figure out how to work around this spaghetti pile between my ears.

Mad respect, as someone who is trying to understand it better, it’s hard breaking down what I thought it was and how limited that is. It really starts with the name itself, I never really considered that.

That’s very true. I’ve been down so many rabbit holes by now though that I have started giving up trying to do anything because I feel like as soon as I get good at it I’ll lose interest/it’s pointless/etc. Thanks for replying and making me feel a little bit seen.

/remind me 1 hour hahaha

Nobody’s ignoring it. There’s plenty of room to investigate that too. Corruption of any source SHOULD be confronted and removed regardless of affiliation, but that wasn’t the point of the exercise. Besides, your assumption of my lack of morals from a single reply (and regarding a what-aboutism to boot) is just another logical fallacy. There’s more of them too if you’re looking for more ways to be an unreasonable contrarian online.

Nice what-aboutism, Biden’s son isn’t even an elected official in any capacity. False equivalence is a red flag logical fallacy.
