Yup. I very much dislike the feel of microfiber towels. Ugh.

Sometimes in the span of ten seconds.

An unborn kid can be indoctrinated or “enslaved”. Maybe both. They don’t like anyone thinking for themselves.

OpenVPN into my own LAN. Stream from there to my device.

All those power lines in the window view feed just that apartment.

Truth.

It’s the suitcase still on the floor, open, with clothes in it from the trip you took 3 months ago.

Yes. Some services are not good at accepting existing naming conventions, insist on their own naming and sorting conventions, or require a lot of third party services that will unfortunately rename your movie to something foreign or otherwise completely wrong.

It takes quite a bit of time to clean up titles and metadata that you may be migrating or adding from a personal collection. Sure, it’s free…but it doesn’t mean it isn’t frustrating or time consuming.

Ok.

Name it. What’s hitting you right now.

If I see it I’ll put it here and maybe someone finds their new banger.

Mine right now is In The Wind by The EMC.

I hate this. You think you’ve got a good streak going and have been doing well for weeks and weeks, then something interrupts the pattern for a day or three…and it’s like trying to start from scratch all over again.

And so many more ways.

Then the fixation disappears and you have a shelf full of food you never want to see again.

Edit: on the shelf just above the expired food from the last fixation that never got thrown away.

Someone else is clearing their todo list, too.

Both a blessing and a curse.

I was trying to keep it simple. Yes, there is more to it than what I said.

People seem to want to overcomplicate the fediverse. Think of instances like independent old-school internet forums each with their own mods and subforums. You pick the one you want to participate in and sign up. Yeah, you can pick more than one, and of course you have to sign up for each one independently of the other. They do not share accounts. Each forum is independent.

The big difference is that each forum can “ally” itself with another forum and your comments and posts are shared and saved among the allies, members of the other forums can interact with you because their comments are shared back to yours.

So in this case one forum (lemm.ee) shuts down, but all the shared info will still exist on the other forums, it doesn’t get deleted from the allied forums. It’s just not accessible to the OP on lemm.ee anymore because the original account and forum are gone.

I think saved bookmarks that are saved on an account will no longer work unless your app saves them externally.

I’ve heard it put as “climbing a wall”. The mental effort needed to overcome the resistance to switching gears or engaging in a task.

Some walls are low and kinda easy. Some are impassable unless the consequences are close enough to overwhelm the difficulty in climbing the wall.

Doesn’t mean it’s easier. Doesn’t mean the frustration and irritability aren’t gonna happen. And no, people definitely don’t get it.

This is the way.

Yep. The irritation and frustration is real. It’s maddening that the times you do remember it’s often immediately after and too late to correct. Like remembering to take your grocery bags to the store. After you’re already halfway to the store.

Oh, damn the “just a few things from the store.”

Go with 1-2 things in mind, wind ip coming home with 15, minus one of the things you actually needed. Meanwhile you entered the store repeating to yourself what you needed and still screwed it up. Why not write it down? Because this time I’ll remember. If you even have the thought to write it down occur to you.

Eh, my whole family is adhd. It’s not the forgetting things that bothers me as much as the failure to put up all available reminders. We know we’re gonna forget. So put the reminder in the calendar app with a notification! Nope. Just another fuckup waiting to bite you in the ass the day after when you suddenly remember it for no fucking reason at all.
