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.

Another example: JaeJae was promoting chocolate and held a piece between two fingers - that was taken as clearly a sign of her hate for all men.

Word of caution: an entire NAS may be a bit of overkill if it’s JUST to get pictures from one device to another. Also consider that, if you get a small, cheap one, you may be tempted to tinker around with what else it can do - which will quickly become frustrating (“If only I had invested a LITTLE more, look at all the shiny fancy things I could do with it!”). Yes, I speak from experience (Synology DS 720+).

Ah yes, I should’ve figured.

Any explanation why the elk did that? (Other than “because he can”, of course)

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

The fuck are you on about? Where is any of this in your original post? What does it have to do with anything?

“Meme” is not another word for “joke”.

Edit: lolshit wall of text about ADHD of all things. Sorry!

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 you’re 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?

Edit: and did you have trouble directing your attention to get through this text? :D

“I am very self-reflected and think carefully about everything.” (x_X)

If I said I’m good at switching tasks, that would be a total lie.

Seconded. Ideally this would sync with any mobile devices because I am incapable of self-control and putting my phone where I can’t reach it. I might even (gasp) pay for the privilege.

Yes.

See this comment by me: https://feddit.org/comment/3984361

Well, you ARE an honorary EU member, makes sense that you’d use the clearly more sensible system ;D

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?

Every microwave I’ve ever seen was like this.

Is this some EU vs US thing?
