Baby steps. They don’t have to be organized lists, there’s no need to overthink it – write emails to yourself, send TODO messages over Whatsapp to yourself – be as chaotic and inefficient as you like in the process of writing said lists, and don’t worry about the perfection.

Wheelchair users can get around without standing up, and dyslexic people can read and write at their own pace

poor Flat(-chested) Earth…

Compare your life to that of a caveman: constantly watching out for predators, fire risks, intrusive insects, maintaining an insufficient shelter, tanning and hiding your clothing out of necessity, sleeping fretfully, and of course spending a good portion of your day scrounging for food whilst keeping the kids alive.

Our ADHD brains were in overdrive much of our history to cope with the dangers and stress of living.

Nowadays we have systematic soceital dangers to focus on, but we forget that our minds are far less distracted by real threats, and so we seek arbitrary topics to hyperfixate upon

Just breathe, write lists, you got this.

Are you telling me that my toilet seat shouldn’t be fluffy?

I worked at a hospital for 20 years… in IT,

Hi there, I work in a small lab just upstairs and was wondering if it’s okay if I spoof a few MAC addresses to get wired internet and then use my personal VPN to torrent a few GB’s of films and games? I’m sure you understand

No you’re thinking of Rubik Kube’s for which he invented the the Hoover Dam

oh my man/lass, next time you buy a tangerine have a look at the label on what they put on the skin

Density of precipitation methinks, red yellow green blue from high to low

Edit: actually that makes no sense. Maybe it’s height of rain cover with the above colours, and the black spots indicate density?

Shit, I actually don’t know.

Looks fearsome though

Edit2: Best I can find, but it’s not that parseable

Yeah I’ve made peace with what I want from the game, because period-perfect accuracy would be way too jarring to stomach

Ghost of Tsushima:

A Samurai and several of his battle-ready female companions try to reclaim their island after Mongol invasion.

I remember thinking “did they really have female warriors and lords back then who called the shots and fought alongside the men? I like the message, but a bit of realism would be nice…”

And then our brave stoic rugged Samurai literally prostrates himself in front of his lord/uncle at every opportunity constantly grovelling and professing how unworthy he is and how he seeks only to serve, and then I’m thinking “oh yeah… the stoic Samurai is a trope, they were either small militias or snivelling arms of the state.”

So I’m okay with realism being bent if it means I’m not constantly questioning the values of my main character.

Oil and Gas still dominate, of course, but we’re steadily chipping away at it, and it might be an exponential trend rather an a linear one. Exciting times!

Still solid advice, though I’m wondering if the “can pay off the house” part still applies post 2000

That’s what really gets on my nerves about that Nolan movie; not once did they mention the Major as the prime motivation for the bomb, in the hopes that the shockwaves would dampen his spirits somewhat after a rampage. Hollywood hacks…

He did say pretty much words to that effect during that Laura Kuensberg interview recently
