Also, ADHD was a factor haha. Getting the dishes done and keeping the place tidy was enough of a struggle without extracurricular activities like the disposal of paint cans!
I once had a deduction from my deposit for a paintbrush and can of paint left on top of a kitchen cabinet; it had been left by their team when I moved in.
Idk if it's available for iOS, but I really like AntennaPod. I also use Kasts on desktop (GNU/Linux), and I self-host a gpodder instance to keep my subscriptions synced.
To be honest, I think 'founders syndrome' vibes have been radiating from their content for years. Owner-operators are often some of the most toxic employers.
Beyond innumerable rules at home (no sneaking out of windows, no making potions out of toiletries, no growing mold in the bathroom, no snakes in the house, etc.) once as a kid I had $5 of birthday money burning a hole in my pocket, so at lunch I asked for as many $0.25 cinnamon rolls as I could get with a $5 bill. Although the cafeteria workers tried to talk me out of it, I spent the rest of the day parading around with a huge sack of cinnamon rolls which I didn't share with my classmates, as I was determined to bring my catch home to impress / share with my family. The same day, an announcement was made over the intercom to the entire school announcing a new two-per-person limit for cinnamon rolls. Details may be off as this was years ago, but that's what I remember!
Yea, the workflow is a bit different. Not having a concept of fill opacity as separate from layer opacity forced me to change the way I do certain things, and having certain retouching tools grouped with the brushes was confusing at first.
For years, I didn't use anything besides Adobe CC, because it's "industry standard," so I've never given anything like Affinity a go in earnest.
With all FLOSS design tools, I had to have a bit of a reckoning with myself; like most people, at first I thought they were unintuitive, until I was able to have a bit of objectivity and found that most of the issues I had with them didn't arise because they were unintuitive; it was just because they didn't work like Adobe tools, which are themselves complex tools that you really can't just pick up on your own without some degree of instruction.
Again, just my opinion, but I prefer Krita to any FLOSS alternative. I've been designing professionally for over a decade, using Adobe for most of it; Krita is my preferred FLOSS tool for photo editing, and I've tried them all.
