- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 2 days ago:
I’m pretty sure they used to do this, at least a hundred years ago, way back when companies first realised that there’s endless free real estate for adverts on the internet. Always wondered why they stopped.
- Comment on Cameron Diaz Says She'd Do a 'Mask' Sequel if Jim Carrey is 'On Board' 2 days ago:
“Actor would take job.”
- Comment on Has anyone attempted to create a Fediverse-based Character AI like service? 5 days ago:
Honest question: why do you want that? What would you do with it? Tbh, I’m not even entirely certain I know what it is you’re looking for. “Character templates”?

A new Whovian, how nice!

Gotta be honest, I don’t get that either.

What exactly was it you expected?

True.

Doesn’t even need to be directions.
“You know, [place], over in [major part of city]?”
“Oh yeah, haha, [major part of city]. (Discretely take out phone because I have no idea where anything is in this city that I have lived in for 20 years)”

Thank you, Great Circle of Obviosity, for guiding us in these uncertain times.
- Comment on What advice would you give to your younger self? 1 week ago:
Ask your parents to take you to a psychiatrist and have you tested for ADHD. Throw things at them until they say yes.
- Comment on Achievement unlocked? 1 week ago:
Ah yes, I should’ve figured.
- Comment on Achievement unlocked? 1 week ago:
Any explanation why the elk did that? (Other than “because he can”, of course)
- Comment on Resume help 1 week ago:
You may have seen it by now, but just in case: there’s a bunch of us in the comments whose experience of their ADHD is exactly like yours :)
So, uh, hey, that’s one aspect in which you AREN’T weird ;D

Some estimates put the number of victims at more than 200,000.
Estimates by who?

Ah yes, quality journalism.

Attention DEFICIT is a misleading term. It’s more an issue of not being able to willingly direct your attention.
That’s why ADHD brains hyperfixate on something and we’re are unable to switch to something else, even though we KNOW we should/want to/have to do the other thing - we can’t direct our attention away from the thing our brains are hyperfixating on.
What sometimes looks like rapid “task switching” is again the inability to direct our attention so it flips around uncontrolled.
This also often leads to a weird state of paralysis where we’re doing absolutely fuck all because we can’t activate our attention properly but we’re yelling at ourselves on the inside to DO THE FUCKING THING YOU FUCKING LAZY SHIT.
For ADHD brains to be able to consciously, actively direct attention, there needs to be some immediate reward. It can’t be some vague reward that might come in the future, like “you won’t have back pain when your old (so exercise!)”. That doesn’t work.
For me (and others, I hear), it’s often the thought that others are depending on me doing The Thing. That’s why I was absolutely insanely good at organising shit in my last job - my coworkers depended on me having prepared all kinds of data. Without this reward, I am completely useless at organising stuff.
Unless it’s interesting, of course, which is again an immediate reward.
Does this sound in any way like you?

“I am very self-reflected and think carefully about everything.” (x_X)
- Comment on Resume help 2 weeks ago:
If I said I’m good at switching tasks, that would be a total lie.

That looks atrocious. I need to see it now.

Yes.

Well, you ARE an honorary EU member, makes sense that you’d use the clearly more sensible system ;D
Tap for spoiler
I am joking, it just seems more sensible to me because it’s what I know.
- Comment on Which one are you? 2 weeks ago:
This is more interesting than I would’ve thought. I’m also sick right now so I may not be of entirely sound mind.
This is what I recognise as a standard Mikrowelle control panel like I’ve been using all my life:
You punch in a wattage, turn the knob to set the time, and then you press start. Older models would have a knob for setting watts too. Note the lack of a “popcorn” button.
And this seems to be the standard when I ask Duckduckgo for “microwave”:
Wot?
- Comment on Which one are you? 2 weeks ago:
Every microwave I’ve ever seen was like this.
Is this some EU vs US thing?
- Comment on Which one are you? 2 weeks ago:
Okay, but I can’t set any percentage. I can set watts and a time.
- Comment on Which one are you? 2 weeks ago:
Best Imy microwave can do is 650 W, 800 W, 1000 W?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I second this.
- Comment on Do you want me to heat that up in the "Michael Wave"? 2 weeks ago:
I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the truth behind Michaelsoft Binbows: youtu.be/yDzAAjzbV5g :)
- Comment on Do you want me to heat that up in the "Michael Wave"? 2 weeks ago:
Wot. That’s crazy. “Labtop” is harder to pronounce (minimally so but still) with voiced b immediately followed by voiceless t. Everything I know about linguistics (not that much, tbh) tells me that, if anything, a thing called “labtop” should over time evolve to be called “laptop”*, because it’s easier on the speaker with voiceless p and t.
^* … maybe even lappop…?^
- Comment on What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm? 2 weeks ago:
We’re all aware that that’s the original reason but the point is that the franchise made an effort to come up with an answer that makes sense in-universe.

- Comment on Jared Leto to Play Skeletor in 'Masters of the Universe' Movie 4 weeks ago:
Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to watch this the second I can get my hook on it but I’d really prefer (and would pay for) a decent MotU movie, even if it’s “just” good weird.
