@Annie_Wu_22 All of these ‘apartment of a 30-something woman’ make me sad. The conspicuous absence of tiny clothes, messy hand prints, crumbs on the floor. They are all tastefully lit, impeccably styled, and lifeless.

@Jeff_like_Feff The OA! Please it was one of the most original shows I've ever seen
English
I don't even sub to Netflix anymore because every show I thought was good would get cancelled after like one season. They literally trained people to not care about shows because they never committed to them unless they were wildly popular. That and subscription fatigue.

Netflix's top shows have been losing 30-70% of their audience between seasons 1 and 2. Executives are trying to figure out why. Netflix's second season swoon & more in this week's newsletter: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

"I'm very self aware" says the neurodivergent girl who keeps writing herself plans for tomorrow that depend on her waking up with more self discipline and adherence to routine than she has ever exhibited in her life

@thintechgodhead How was it in your childhood? What are your safe foods and how did you discover them? What do you enjoy about the foods you like? What happens in your mind when you think of a new food that you haven't tried yet - does it also cause a negative reaction?

hi, i have ARFID so severe that I get IVs to make up for my inability to keep me hydrated through oral fluids alone. I think you don’t know what ARFID actually is, because you are describing something that would work for normal picky eating without recognizing what makes it a disorder. genuinely open to answering questions about it if you have any!

No that is how you fix it. You show them what a well balanced meal looks like. You just don't cave when they try to eat only the chicken tenders. You don't force them to eat it all, you just don't give them anything else until they do.
English
@twitchyspoonie Would you be able to explain the difference? I had Covid pre-vaccination so I'm wondering if I'd be able to make this distinction in my own case
English
@rickygreenbeans Yeah, I agree with the other people who commented. I think screens used the wrong way and too much can cause some issues, but not like covid. I have cognitive issues from a flu when I was a kid, before I had a smart phone and social media was a big thing.
English
No one is going to want to admit to or talk about their cognitive issues after covid if you talk about them like this though lol.
As someone who also has post-viral cognitive issues, the way a lot of y'all talk about that is dehumanizing and irresponsible.

It’s some real 1 + 1 = 2 shit like… a virus prone to causing brain damage has spread unmitigated though the population for half a decade. And now society is full of people who are stupider, meaner, more impulsive, less empathetic. It’s not surprising! At all!

@ccchristtt It's already happening! There is a reiteration of corporate memphis present in cafe's menus, mixing CM, Matisse, and Rubber Hose animation style.
example from Canva: canva.com/templates/EAGr…
English
i give it ten years, we'll see the corporate memphis art style be fondly remembered just like the corporate art trends that led to vaporwave and frutiger areo. it's inevitable.

I have a whole folder of these

@EmberExplores @twitchyspoonie You stated something that wasn't complete and I added more information that makes me believe what I said in the first place. You're free to dispute it further instead of whatever this reply is?
English
@rickygreenbeans @twitchyspoonie So it very much was not a “genuine question,” but you trying to bait people so you could state your anecdotal opinion repeatedly. Got it.
English
@rewildyrmind Someone suggested that long covid might make you more susceptible to becoming addicted which turns into a closed cycle... It would make sense
English
@rickygreenbeans I think both. Short-form content decreases attention span, plus so much misinformation and rage-inducing content online. And the algorithm is meant to keep you scrolling.
English
@EmberExplores @twitchyspoonie Tiktok wasn't popular until 2020, other types like YouTube / Facebook / Instagram shorts didn't launch until mid 2020 / 2021. I'm not saying "phone bad", I'm saying watching hundreds of 10 seconds videos per day is probably responsible for a lot of cognitive decline in people
English
@rickygreenbeans @twitchyspoonie It’s Covid. We had screens (and addictions to them) before 2020 but we were not collectively experiencing rises in anger and impulsivity like we are seeing now as people repeatedly contract infections.
English
@rickygreenbeans What is the "it" you're referring to? Cognitive issues?
English
@wildcat_of @laserloony @twitchyspoonie Interesting! But it sounds like your time online is not short form content but more reading / finding community / texting etc. I don't think these are bad
English
@rickygreenbeans @laserloony @twitchyspoonie It’s just one data point, but I can tell you that in my case my cognitive impacts have been negatively correlated with screen time, not positively
(Translation: if anything, my cognition improved as I spent more time online. Tho I think it’s spurious. Sure didn’t hurt tho)
English
@laserloony @twitchyspoonie Did you use it as extensively? For me personally TikTok & Reels have been extremely detrimental to my brain fog, fatigue, ability to focus and complete tasks..
English
@rickygreenbeans @twitchyspoonie I think it's COVID. I had a smartphone prior to COVID and didn't have the symptoms that I do now.
English
@musestoomuch facts! modern therapy was created long ago that it does not work with many modern day problems. we need less talking and less thinking
English
@sanguines13 i think therapy was invented for people who didn't spend most of their days thinking about themselves and talking it out.. watch some old kitchen nightmares episodes. those ppl need therapy. we have a new flavor of mental illnesses that needs new approach
English
i don know if my mental illness could be cured by therapy because my thought patterns and emotional responses are basically normal when medicated and then flip like a switch when im not so how can it be lifestyle related
English
@Favwontmiss I used to do it as a kid / teenager and I remember thinking that imagination is something no one can take away. I promised myself to never stop having those elaborate scenarios because everyone else seems boring. Here I am, years later, all my dreams are about bills and work.
English
Anyone else create elaborate fake scenarios in your head where you’re the main character just to fall asleep? Just realised I’ve been doing this since childhood. Romantic plots, alternate lives, comforting storylines,full production.
Is this a neurodivergent thing or have I just been directing bedtime cinema for 30 years?

The nail salon!
They soak your hands in acetone, power drill your nails to nubs, julienne your cuticles, and then put your hands in a radiation machine proven to damage dna and skin cells
Ous'B 💚@BongsMahlangu_
Ladies we need to talk, what’s ageing our hands so much or am I not using hand cream enough?💀
English
@rickygreenbeans @theashleyray why? because work and sex with ugly old men sucks probably?
English
this would be so embarrassing to me, why are you asking a man for this omg
