  1. I can handle a ride with no ass house.

  3. I own my mitochondria wipe.

  Calming herbs: lavender, lemon balm, lime (linden) tree But any herbal infusion is probably better than coffee (and often cheaper). Chamomille, green tea, fennel for example you might find in a shop, they are not necessarily indicated as anti-anxiety, but still better than coffee.

  From my own experience, quiet indoor activities that involve sitting are not so great for anxiety. Moving, talking walks, being outdoors, especially in nature, work wonders. What grows in your area? Maybe the anti-anxiety medication is right there (happy to help with identifying the plants you find).

  But … that’s cheating! No way it passes the toddler aviation aesthetics check.

  Also, non-native needs to know the difference between ‘further’ and ‘farther’ …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paper Towels - Cube Or Sphere?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You probably meant ‘further’ but I was wondering for a while if your comment counts as inverted dad joke in its current state. Also, which paper plane? Inquiring toddlers need to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is it about Mark Zuckerberg's appearance or demeanor that creeps people out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I know what he means. There’s a certain too-much-ness, a weird stiffness around me and other neurodiverse - you wouldn’t notice it on a good day but it’s certainly annoying for others. I’m not really capable of normal social interaction in groups at all (groups = more than 1 people present), and I might fake it for a while but it becomes clear after a few interactions.

  Finally someone else says it. I’ve come to think the same in recent years. Keeping us isolated (and also diagnose us with or encourage self- diagnosis of mental illness) is all too convenient for those in power to keep us small.

  Lots of good advice here already, especially regarding IFS, which is a therapy approach that works with splitting one’s inner monologue into a conversation between different voices.

  Since a lot of commenters seem to equate inner voices with schizophrenia or psychosis I’d like to let you (and them) know it’s not that unusual to have inner voices with different personalities! I found my inner voices very helpful to deal with my mental challenges and this never turned into anything uncontrollable. I had a similar very critical inner voice which I then recognized as mainly being my mother’s way of criticizing me - even after I went no contact with mom, she was still occupying space in my head telling me everything I did wrong.

  The way out was really simple, CBT-based: a therapist reminded me to be kind to myself and I just practised - like giving myself an inner hug every time I used the unkind voice and remembering that kindness to myself is important (not beating myself up for being unkind!), and to avoid self-deprecating humour. It just took some time, maybe a year, and now I see clear improvements. The voice is pretty much gone. At the moment I have no need to separate into different voices and feel quite at home within myself. Hope you get there soon, you seem a be on a good path towards it!

  What the fuck, that looks absolutely desperate! I’m sure it will have the opposite effect. Fuck reddit.

  It’s nice you found a way to have your smart home working with open source solutions.

  Sorry for having to bring this up, but I really wish you didn’t have to include the ‘wife stupid with tech’ trope in your post and that awful phrase ‘the wife’ that seems to be so popular with some guys these days. It seems so disrespectful to talk in this way about the person you share your life with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belkin is ending support for nearly all its Wemo smart home devices⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And another pile of junk has been created in the endless "Buy-this-cool-shit -> Sorry-this-cool-shit-is-obsolete -> … " cycle. Poor environment.

  My home is dumb as fuck. My light bulbs only obey the flick of old fashioned light switches. My fridge doesn’t try to engage in conversation. I have to close my curtains by hand. I monitor my health by figuring out how I feel. This old fashioned life of manual drudgery still leaves me sufficient time to laugh about the fools who buy this kind of stuff.

  Every bit of tech you buy these days is just conspiring to make you buy more tech. The best option for your financial and mental health is to avoid everything marketed as “smart and innovative must-have” like the plague.

  Don’t forget that you have to pay for an additional subscription to use SamsungShave with your new 5 fold and that your have to give the app access to all your private data - but who wouldn’t do that for a really close shave!

  '“This allows you to continue exploring topics of interest and engage in more meaningful conversations with the AIs across our apps,” a Meta spokesperson said. ’

  ‘meaningful conversations with the AIs’ makes me want to laugh, or cry. Welcome in a world where meaning has lost all meaning.

  A friend told me about her experience in a fully automated hostel with sleeping pods where the automatic doors may or may not malfunction when you try to open them with a magnetic wrist band. That’s horror film material imo. I hope this shit gets wrecked and forgotten together with the self checkout. I’d like to meet some real people please, all you profit hungry corporation go shove these robots up yours yesterday.
