Me trying to start a new Total War campaign.

I can’t believe I’d never heard of this; I’ve been desperate for something like this to come along.

A Wayland reimplementation of XMonad.

Two video game ones:

• Noah Caldwell-Gervais
• Grim Beard

I think it was a dig at how Will Smith reacted to Chris Rock.

Elvanse (Vyvanse in some parts of the world).

Perhaps this is some sort of internalised ableism but I used to have this internal dialogue where I’d reflect on how difficult it was to do “boring” things and a straw man NT person would sarcastically imply that “it must be nice” to have an excuse to get out of “boring” tasks.

Um, fucking no. If you think about it for like two seconds, you realise how much of being a happy, independent and healthy adult relies on being able to complete tasks that aren’t immediately captivating. Those tasks still need doing, I don’t want someone else to do them for me. You’re left with either waiting on when the ‘inspiration’ strikes you, having to improvise some game or arbitrary reward structure just to clean two dishes or you just rawdog your way through the task and you feel every second of the boredom and come out the other side feeling worse than when you started because no satisfaction from completing the task can pay-back the effort you put into completing it.

That’s why ADHD adults burn-out. Without medication, every day you end with a ‘motivation deficit’ where no satisfaction from completing tasks can cover the costs of the determination and focus one spent to start those tasks. Eventually you just ‘default’ and you can’t do anything any more.

Stimulants to me feel like a small loan on every task. It’s a fine balance but they actually let me come out of tasks semi-regularly with more energy/motivation than I started. And when you have a surplus, productivity begets productivity.

Evolutionary, what advantage could this possibly hold?

How can they be racists?! They’re middle-class!

Christ I hate The Express.

Sweet Caroline. No question.

I may carry the dubious distinction of being the first Jewish artist to be de-platformed and defunded by Germany

The first? You sure about that?

Shush, that’s the secret European country only rich people know about…

Really excited to hear what you think.
