What’s wrong with that? It’s a common gesture for thanks in many places irl… that’s the first thing i think when I see that emoji, and I’m from a western culture…

I was already assuming they did have a second set. Taking off the dirty ones and putting on the clean ones is bloody well hard enough. Are people out there really trying to turn around a single set in a day? That’s just setting yourself up to fail, I don’t care how neurotypical you think you are.

Maybe you could find an old coin electric meter, wire that up to your stove/ oven loop, and then just put in the right amount of money for the cooking time you want.

Bully for you.

I was reacting to a comment where I interpreted that the person felt constrained by their adhd to not own very many items of outerwear.

I wasn’t trying to give universal fashion advice.

Keeping it simple is a valid strategy, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Also more sustainable.

Thumb and pinky toe are both digits. I think the opposite of thumb should be more like kidney. And why is only the ‘thumb’ getting inverted? If anything, ‘rule’ is the dominant noun here. Anarchy of thumb? Chaos ofn’t kidney?

I think getting dopamine from starting new things, but no reward for finishing things is one of the main adhd things.

Personally I use a continuous never ending to- do list, tiny writing on an A4 piece of paper folded into 16ths.

Seeing all the crossed out tasks makes me feel proud, seeing something not crossed out in an older area gives me guilt, and overall it just keeps me connected to the futility of existence. 😁

We don’t know that it’s directly on the carpet. When i want to put my thinkpad on a soft surface I use the Beano annual as a handy intermediate layer (other A4 hardbacks are available).

Many human activities cause climate change. LLMs are a relatively new one, and a disproportionate energy user, so it’s fair enough to shout about it and try to minimise adoption. Things that are already entrenched like consumer culture or aviation will be harder and slower to undo.

Also, whether it’s right or not that capitalism is largely to blame, if you take that to mean that the only useful action against climate change is fighting against capitalism, or let yourself feel like you’ve ‘done your part’ by having anticapitalist opinions, I think that’s counterproductive.

Oh how the turntables…

If you’re going to eat the cheese straight, why not just get the un-shredded version? Then you can cut chunks off, or alternatively just bite it straight off the block.

(I think they’re exaggerating to emphasise how bad other things are for comedic effect.)

In Firefox ctrl + tab will do that, but even better you can search through your tabs by starting your search with %

I can’t remember the details, and too lazy to search it up right now, but I think it was like Greta and him were having a Twitter argument, and he maybe posted a photo with a background that accidentally disclosed his location, so authorities who were already looking to arrest him were able to act on it.

The choice is more between ‘Sally has autism’ (some people think this makes it sound more like a disease, more distancing and separate from the person), and ‘Sally is autistic’ (sounds more like a character/personality trait, a way of being).

I think when you read that article it’s important to think critically about how it’s composed. I am as anti-trump as the next European “centrist dad”, but nothing I read there made me think he went out of his way to tell that story unprompted. I imagine he was interviewed, said a bunch of stuff, and then someone cherry-picked the quotes they needed to support the narrative of the article… You can’t just take it at face value!?

The local pharmacist in my parent’s village died from accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms ☹️

Maybe a bit with gabber or grindcore and harder stuff like that. In the UK/EU at least.

Wasn’t cromulent in Blackadder tho? And surely that was before 96? Or am I just missing the relative age of things again?
