@Favwontmiss I find that being told I only have to do it till the timer stops helps get me started.
1 hour of laundry, no. 15 minutes of laundry 4 times in a row, somehow fine.

ADHD FRIENDS ONLY:
What “simple” task genuinely takes you an embarrassing amount of time?

@0UTR0EG0 11, then I turned up my brightness and 12. I am not sure if the edge lines for some zones are just blurs or different colors though, in which case I see about 6 more

@potatoslav They do actually have a machine that does that. They then do the guessing game for confirmation

took my baby to the doctor today and they checked his vision with a cool little laser gun with a smiley face on it. gave me a whole readout of his prescription. took 15 seconds. why can’t they use this on me? why when i go to the doctor am i playing a game of 20 questions that lasts an hour and stresses me out bc what if i get the questions wrong?? “read these tiny letters” “slide one, or slide two” we are still doing this to Torture and Humiliate the semi-blind i think

@_celia_bedelia_ Same. Like I don't wear one with pj's, but going downstairs if it isn't a crew neck they might make a surprise showing. Bras are work mandatory for me.
English
Y’all. If I didn’t wear a bra to work it would be obscene and none of my clothes would
fit properly. I police my own undergarments because I just don’t have the kind of boobs to go braless/supportless in a “professional” setting

@_celia_bedelia_ Anywhere. If anyone tries to police your undergarments ask them why they are staring at your chest and call HR for sexual harrassment.

@aroacespidey It depends a lot on the cat really.
Compared to dogs, yes because they don't require walks and you don't like have to be home at 7 or there will be shit on the floor.
They require different things that often aren't as time based, so that comes off as lower maintenance.
English
are cats really low maintenance or do people just neglect them?
English
@upstatefederlst But we did, TV as well... You could only watch what was on...

People out here acting like 80s and 90s kids regularly watched movies from the 50s and 60s.

Film literacy among young people is at an all time low. My gen z students are shockingly unfamiliar with many key landmarks of modern cinema that were released in the 1990s

@n_e_rd Minerva.
"Oh after the schools online registration and grading system?"
Nope after the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare. In what world would I name a cat after administration?
English
When I named my cat after a Greek god I didn’t expect almost everyone to assume I named him after a damn ass purse company and frequently try to correct the pronunciation when I say my own cat’s name.
“Do you mean air-mez?”
No, I mean HERMES. God of messages and trickery!

@thebbvegan If you grow up in farm country, you know very young and most people here eat meat.
English
Do you think if children were told that they were eating a baby cow or a baby pig for dinner, that they would be happy about it and continue eating it as if nothing happened?
No. I can guarantee you that if kids knew where their food comes from, they would be upset that they’re eating a dead animal.

@BahlestKimmie @Trexalicious1 @Rainmaker1973 Including the humidex, unfortunately,yes. It was absolutely miserable. We had a lot of heat warnings last year.
English
@AMcsommers @Trexalicious1 @Rainmaker1973 I doubt it was 110-115 in southern ontario like Tempe but good times if it was.
English
In June 2017, during a major heatwave in the UK, boys at Isca Academy in Exeter, Devon, were not allowed to wear shorts as part of the school uniform: they had to wear long grey trousers.
Girls were allowed to wear skirts so when the boys complained and asked for an exception, the headteacher reportedly said sarcastically: “you can wear a skirt if you like”.
The boys took her at her word: the first day, a small group showed up wearing the school’s plaid skirts and the next day, around 30 boys joined in.
English
@ma1ybe I think they can ask questions, or suggest maybe you could because X,Y, Z, but ultimately if mom says no, that is final.
If you aren't birthing the baby, it isn't your body, so not your choice.
English
@BahlestKimmie @Rainmaker1973 I live somewhere its -45C with the windchill in winter and +45C in the summer with the humidex.
You should be able to complain about temperatures the infrastructure wasn't designed to accommodate.
These high temps are not factored in to UK design, especially old buildings.
English
@Rainmaker1973 “Major heat wave” was probably like 75-80 degrees.
English
@Trexalicious1 @BahlestKimmie @Rainmaker1973 With humidity southern ontario (Canada) was hotter than Tempe last summer.
Then we went to -40 in the winter...Which is the same in F and C.
Everyone is allowed to complain about weather their infrastructure can't accommodate.
English
@BahlestKimmie @Rainmaker1973 Riiiight?!! They should come to Arizona when it's 115°F/46.111°C and then complain...

@sadgirlyboss My 2nd grade teacher hand a kind put their palm on a piece of bread, them wash their hands well and do it to a second piece of bread.
She put them in baggie. In a day the unwashed hand one was blue and growing things starting in the hand. The other one took a week to mold.

in preschool they asked my mom (a doctor) to teach helmet safety. my dad bought 2 cantaloupes, drew faces on them, and my mom dropped them—one helmeted, one not. the unhelmeted one exploded on the class. mom said, “this is why you wear a helmet.”
she was not invited back.
English
@BobbyDukeArts What's frustrating about this is when you are laid off and can't find a job everyone says to just "don't be stuck up, go get a job at McDonald's until you find something" and it's like, nice theory, but they won't hire me.
I get to not be able to pay my bills until I find a job.
English
Why is not getting the job because you're "overqualified" a thing?
It's the professional equivalent of "oh no my steak is too juicy, my lobster is too buttery!"

Refusing to hire somebody with a master's degree for a cashier job is an absolutely rational decision.

@maddimogs This sounds like something the sweedish chef would say

@BIMBOSATTVA_ This assumes that you got diagnosed and treated at 5, instead of 35.
English
Beyond a certain age, like 25, you're just an adult, and ADHD and other such terms should stop entering your vocabulary, this isn't to say that ADHD is not real, it is a real observable neurotype, but you need to be wary of not neuroticizing it, lest you make your issues worse

ADHD is like a permanent debuff where there's a 75% chance of getting stunlocked for no reason for like 5 hours
