Math. I sucked at math since 3rd grade and that shit was a struggle all the way through college. I'm lucky i can even count, I swear to God. Had to pass THREE remedial math courses just to be allowed to take the course that counted for actual credit towards my degree. Lately I've been contemplating going back to college for a second degree, but I realized I'd have to take shit like pre-calculus for the degrees I'm looking at and I just don't think I could do it. My brain is such a letdown.

Awaaaaaaay!

Cigarettes. Went cold turkey every time. 3 time's the charm! It's been 13 years now, but I still occasionally get cravings, and sometimes I dream about having one and then wake up feeling super guilty and horrible about myself even though it wasn't real.

If you're a woman and you're voting for Trump, you ain't a woman.

One of the first jobs I had out of high-school was working at a gas station and we sold scratch-offs and I don't recall that we kept track of the tickets at all.

Omg, this sounds awful, you have my deepest sympathy. Didn't they give you anything for pain management!?

The grasshopper and the ants - Don't be a lazy fuck and then expect others to bail you out due to your own lack of planning

I don't, I just finally gained the willpower to get up and do shit even though I'm not motivated. Very often in life, you have to do shit you don't wanna do. This doesn't mean your life sucks and that you cannot find any joy in your day, this is simply a fact of life. Once you accept this and stop having feelings about it, it's 100% easier to go about your day. I don't think this is a modern day thing, either. I'm sure you could pick any time period in history and find a human that wasn't thrilled with the idea of getting up and doing XYZ thing that they had to do that day in order to survive.

Yeah, if it's not something a little stretching or rehydration can't fix it seems iffy. Talk to a doctor for sure.

This is really fucking weird

Hmm, I have a desk job too, but I get up and stretch a lot, and workout at least twice a week. Does this only happen to you on planes? Do you ever sit for 5 hours anywhere else? Does it happen after like a 3 hour movie, or JUST on planes? I did find this interesting article about soreness and flying: https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advice/general-travel-health-advice/air-travel

They often come in sets of pants and a T-shirt, but like others have posted, most of my pajama shirts are old T-shirts that have become too holey to wear in public.

Are you otherwise very active on any given day when you're not on a plane? Maybe you're never sitting that still and confined for 5 hours straight and your body just isn't used to it? Are you tall? I can see where it would totally suck to be tall and fly for any amount of time, really. The only time I'm ever thankful to be 5'3" is when I'm flying and can have a bag under the seat in front of me and still stretch out my legs and cross my legs if I want to.

I was in NH this weekend and while driving saw a lawn sign on one house that said "Save America, Vote Republican", and right next door on the neighbor's lawn was a sign that said "Save the Planet, Vote Democrat". It was glorious.

I would have preferred "ScreamingGrasshopperMouse", but it was too many characters long, so what I have now will have to do.

I knooow but it's catchy as fuck and I can't help it.

Do they overstay their welcome all the time, maybe not even just at your house, but other friend's houses as well?

Nope, too hard. My mind is all over the place as long as I'm awake. Work, video games, book storylines, politics, a constant background soundtrack of music, from TV commercial jingles to the chorus of whatever song I heard last, plus my own inner monologue are all constantly going on in my head. It's generally not a distraction except when I'm trying to fall asleep at night, but if it was, I'd assume that's what having ADHD is like? But trying to "Silence" my mind is impossible, it just never shuts up, even in sleep I have ridiculously vivid dreams that feel real until I wake up.
