Give the man an aspirin.

ADHD likey helped us in the wild , but hinders us in a society that needs to eek out every bit of cognitive ability to be harnessed by a very rigid system that is very opinionated about how we can contribute. Back then there was probably less incentive to deny your natural affinities instead of something more lucrative. As an ADHD’r I see something familiar in the journals of Davinci, but also in the eyes of the gold rush 49ers.

Also because we are more beholden to the intrusive inclinations of our natural body signals something like a bought of famine might be more traumatizing for an ADHD’r back when trauma was still a valuable survival technique.

I know nothing about 3d printing and subbed to this community because I hoped to one day try. That said almost every post I see like this turns out to at least be partially humidity/moisture related.

So what do you think happened?

Just asking a question…

Did he just get spooked and tweaked/threw out his back or ankle?

Exactly. Been trying to tell people this.

I don’t know about that username tho.

bye bye

I haven’t messed with Debian in a while but I remember the install being a hassle for all of my devices. But in my experience when I go to compile something I have to tediously update scores of libraries as dependency issues metastisize throughout the system. At some point I think to my self “who am I an Ubuntu developer or something?” and I go download some upstream distro like Ubuntu or PopOS.

I would play MechWarrior 3 on campaign mode and try again in half an hour or however long it took me to die a few times.

Making something so routine that you don’t think about it. Like getting ready for work. Build it into your life. Make it a distraction. Get rid of start up barriers that make it difficult to get started. Make it to where you don’t expect to reach the goal. Put all the distractions together so you can switch between them seamlessly. Lean in to the ADHD. Make it so that once you reach your goal your not only surprised but also kinda sad it’s over.

Keep in mind that stimulants are going to interact with your libido in perhaps unintuitive ways. Like a lot of my experience as an ADHD’er this means a more exponential curve where a normal person would be linear. Meaning I take a while to warm up to a situation but I end up having more fun by the end compared to a normal person. Stimulants seem to add more bumps and valleys to this curve in my experience. Also a lot of adhd’rs end up on SSRI medication as well which can dull sex drive. I have found that THC works to counteract these effects

On another note imo someone who makes plans that fall apart at the first hiccup and don’t accommodate the people involved isn’t someone who is good at making plans. Just someone that has very rigid expectations.

Also your partner maybe experiencing some undiagnosed ADHD symptoms themselves. Where by they become more sensitive to ADHD behaviors that they themselves combat with a toxic inner voice. ADHD can be expressed in many ways and not always the cosmonaut - spacey variety. For instance having a very rigid routine in high stimulus activities like shopping where you’re focus is being exploited by advertising and marketing.

The ideal situation shouldn’t be that you are made to cope in such a way that you operate as a normal person. The ideal should be that you have learned something about yourself that can allow you and your partner to organize your lives more effectively with less friction.

It sounds like your partner maybe suffering from anxiety issues. As a adhd’r myself I have to constantly defend my need to just let me do things the way I want. Like give me a goal and let me mess up a bit. Just need the space and time to figure out how I am going to do something my own way cause my experience isn’t typical and it becomes unintuitive for passerby who are trying to facilitate my progress. As a musician I also have become acutely sensitive to how long it takes me to learn an pickup new skills and how my alternative methods often allow me to flourish while traditional methods often hinder me.

The most recent episode of Last Week Tonight talks about it https://youtu.be/Y93ljB7sfco

Was it felony murder or real murder tho?
