"How are you ever gonna keep a job if you can't keep juice in a cup?!"

I was 9 years old

Absolutely!

I've always felt that Hate is an absence of Love, like how Cold is an absence of Heat.

You can go to a person and emit all the love in the world, and for some people that's all it takes, but some people are just too insulated. That usually happens when their hate is tied to an ideology that their identity is dependent on.

Sometimes it's not an ideology so much as a traumatic experience that associated their trauma with a hatred of some person(s).

In either case, the only way to dispell that hate is for the person to open up their barriers enough for the love to make it's way in, and that's a lot of work.

Absolutely. The most useful "habbit" I have for managing my ADHD is being brutally honest with myself at all times.

If you learn to reflect on your patterns and feelings, you start getting a good idea early on when you're gonna be in one of those dysfunction days.

Best thing I've found to do about it is "take the day off". If I know everything is gonna be uphill in a unique way, I take it easy. If I'm at work, I try to focus on the most accessible micro-tasks, or "tedious" things that take zero cognitive work.

For me those days are a sign of burnout and I know little will be accomplished if I force myself to overwork that day anyway. So I prioritize resting my brain. Sometimes it means doing nothing at all, sometimes it means video games or folling around with in GarageBand with a keyboard and bass.

Letting your brain do whatever random bullshit it's craving can be just as restful as doing nothing. Sometimes these days can actually be really productive for my hobbies, or housework, or spouse time, just depending on what my brain wants.

My girlfriend and I both have ADHD, but meditation has always been easy for me, especially at night.

You don't have to do anything special, it can be while your in bed before sleep, for some people it's just helpful to create a ritual or activity around it to occupy the part of your brain that's liable to fixate on stress.

I've tried sitting with her for a guided meditation app she likes, but it makes it harder for me. Sometimes I feel like Ron Swanson talking outside the meditation class. "I have no idea what these guys are doing, my mind was completely blank"

Honestly one of the reasons I fell for a pyramid scheme coming out of high school.

A friend invited me and I went to shit on it and get him out, but the main guy's whole thing was "everything is a pyramid scheme, at least here you have the chance to build a pyramid beneath you."

Obviously there were other reasons as old as time, but the argument of "so what, your 'regular job' is already a pyramid scheme you can't win" was pretty rattling to a teenager in 2011.

Big deal, I do that every time I have Benefiber with a cheese pizza

Nowadays, everybody is trying to talk, like they have something to say. But nothing comes out when they move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish, like they forgot about Dre.

From what I understand, most good pranks are about putting things in Jello and rearranging furniture

Nothing to do with users. Operating systems don't support it in their default file managers and viewers.

Nobody has beef with the annual developer fee.

The problem isn't even that they want to charge 30% for processing app payments. They can charge whatever they want for their own services.

The problem is that Apple prevents users from installing any apps from outside their own app store, then bans developers from using any other service but Apple to process payments. It's anticompetitive 101.

If Apple allowed 3rd party app stores or let apps implement their own payment processing, there would be no issue here.

The YouTube Channel "Rose Anvil" is a leather worker and their entire channel is about shoes. They routinely take big brands and cut then in half to do an in-depth breakdown of their materials amd construction.

They made a video recently about a brand someone else mentioned in this thread.

They also have videos where they show their favorite shoes from the past year and what they like to wear personally.

As a graphic designer, I knew at a glance that nobody was paid to make that stupid "x".

If a client as big as Twitter asked me for an X logo I'd be so fucking depressed. It would be such a pain to make a proper logo like that without looking exactly like a dozen other ones, because it's hack and has been done to death.

The X everything app is literally some high school composition notebook doodle shit Elon has been clinging to for over 20 years. He's like the dad from the movie Holes that thinks he's a great inventor, but just keeps catching the house on fire and stinking up the place.

This is not only an ad written by a hack, it contributes to widespread gaslighting on what our phones do.

It's well documented that our phones are always listening and sending keywords to advertisers.

Battery life is the single biggest indicator of how invasive our phone are.

If you're old enough to remember flip phones, you know they'd last easily days, to a week, or even longer between charges.

Even as Blackberrys came about with GPS navigation, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc, the battery life stayed about the same. Over time we've expanded the ability of those features, but we've also made them all significantly more power-efficient.

Some argue all the "always-on" features for optimizing signal and spontaneous device pairing is responsible, but these can all be turned off.

Even with all the Android Dev settings optimized for minimum background activity and all apps restricted, an S22 Ultra with 5000 mah battery will burn through most of its capacity in your pocket in a day.

Worth mentioning how tiny flip-phone batteries were too. A 500-900mah battery would take a flip-phone through a week where a modern smartphone with a 5000mah battery barely lasts a day.

Met Robert Patrick (best known as the T-1000 from Terminator 2).

He had a booth at a Horror convention. I knew nothing about the convention and didn't know a ton about his other work, but his local agent asked their local family if they knew a Graphic Designer because the booth posters for Robert and Billy Boyd got lost in luggage.

I eneded up being a last minute call for help, had the agent send me what official images they had, and threw together what I could in an hour or two so I could get it to a printer in time.

Was right by Robert at his booth all day, interacting with his fans. He seems like he probably has some political views I'd disagree with, but I've never seen anyone spend time with fans like him. He truly put the time and work in with every single person in that line.

Had no clue how many diverse fandoms he was part of. He seems strongheaded, but very professional and super loving to the people that show up for him.

Got to have lunch with him and Billy Boyd that day, and they're total dorks together in the best way. Billy Boyd is 100% the sweetest man and it was hilarious realizing he had voiced Chuckie.

When I'm in that pit, most good advice isn't helpfull.

What is helpful is to acknowledge that the pendulum of this cold and indifferent universe swings both ways.

When you're deep in the shit, and you see all the walls crumbling down, and you feel how fleeting all the good things are, just remember that the bad things are just as fickle and fleeting.

The world has been ending since it began. It's important to pay attention, notice, and do your part when the opportunity presents itself. It's equally important to remember that none of the apocalyptic events in human history has ended humanity yet. When you can't stop ruminating on the lowest points of your life, remember that you've been through all of that, and you're still here.

Life is a struggle, and a beautiful mess. Nobody is ever "done" with the hard parts, but we're never "done" with the good parts either.

Take a deep breath and remember that you'll never get dealt a good hand if you cash out, and you're never playing alone.
