clever & funny bio goes here
I have ADHD, and I also happen to have an absurdly good sense of direction.
My biggest problem with video games isn’t losing track of where I am, it’s losing track of when I am.
Video games, especially the Civilization series, and MMOs, make it incredibly easy for me to lose track of time. I’ve stayed up late and ruined countless nights of sleep from those.
Mobile Voyager user here too. I’m mostly pretty happy with it, as it reminds me a lot of Apollo. It would be nice if keywords and link domains I’ve blocked were sorted alphabetically instead of by block date, and if crossposts from communities I’ve blocked were also themselves blocked.
I don’t think I’ve signed into the web version in months, if not at least a year.
I live in the US and while I don’t often dream about living in other countries, if I had to move elsewhere long term, I’d probably pick whichever of the following I was able to get a decent job in, comparing expected net pay to cost of living:
Postmodern Jukebox (link)
They do covers of popular songs in a wide variety of styles that somehow consistently work just as well as the originals, if not better. Two of my favorites:
Frog Leap Studios (link)
They do metal covers of pop music. Doesn’t appear to have been super active recently, but there’s a nice back catalog of tracks to enjoy. Two of my favorites:
The usual level of stress.
Am entering a moderately busy season at work, which is kinda nice because I have poorly medicated ADHD and an impending external deadline is one of the few things that reliably gives me any amount of executive function.
Otherwise, trying to get my brain to cooperate feels like trying to wrestle a greased-up toddler or nail jello to a tree. It’s just a long exercise in frustration that ends in me hating my brain and wishing I could’ve just had a normal brain and thinking about how much easier my life would be with a normal brain.
I know we shouldn’t feel guild or regret or whatever over things we had no say in. And none of us had any say whatsoever in the circumstances of our birth.
But if there was a character creation screen at the moment of my conception, even if it was strictly limited to the options available as my mom & dad hooked up, I would’ve made many different choices:
Having a brain that I didn’t have to beg and plead with, a brain that let me work at a steady pace instead of procrastinate + sprint, would be fucking amazing.
Some of the Van Wilder sequel movies got pretty stupid. Same with the American Pie sequels.
Only one of these movies I ever watched all the way through was the Tokyo Drift one. I liked the fish out of water aspect of the plot, and I remember the soundtrack being pretty good.
Not saying it should’ve won an oscar, mind you, just that it’s not nearly the dumbest movie I’ve ever watched.
Every time someone writes a mediocre fanfiction work, I do one pushup.
Clarence Carter - Strokin’
I saw a picture of justin bieber and taylor swift where someone did a face swap between them, and they wound up looking like a cute lesbian couple.

Home: Firefox, plus Opera for specific tasks I don’t want tied to Firefox usage
Work: Firefox, plus Edge for one M365 specific task that simply refuses to cooperate with Firefox
Mobile: Firefox, plus Orion for misc tasks that I’d rather not do with Firefox

Just how high off the ground is that ‘6’ button?
I tried instagram & twitter for a week or two each back in like 2019. I thought they were kinda dumb and deleted them.
I disabled my facebook account in the latter half of 2020 because it was just making me depressed. I don’t think I’ll ever actually delete my account, since it has my only copies of pictures with now-deceased family members. But the longer I’m gone the less I miss it. Especially the algorithmic sort, aka “you’ll watch the content we show you and to hell with your preferences”.
I wasn’t aware of DBT as a therapy form until this comment chain, honestly, so I think I saw the original and assumed it was intended to be CBT but a typo got in the way.
And truck nuts
“One more turn…” “Wait, wtf, why is my phone buzzing?” “Aw fuck that’s my wakeup alarm. Fml….”
