Strattera is a non-stimulant ADHD medication that I’ve had success with which stays in the body for a few days, making it easier to remember to take it every morning. If I do miss a dose I’m still feeling some of the effects from yesterday.

The Voyager app has keyword filters. I have words like “Trump” and “Elon” in there and it has helped a lot.

I think my executive dysfunction has exacerbated my fear of people and society. These two issues are cyclical, and keep reinforcing each other. Past experiences with executive dysfunction create anxiety around future attempts.

And this just compounds as I get older, which makes me think that I’m on my way to being a curmudgeon.

It does indeed seem like a good product, and I buy these when I can. I wonder if they’re more ethical than the local eggs I get at the co-op.

This way of thinking is just a different way of doing math and has absolutely nothing to do with ADHD. This type of post is likely responsible for a large portion of the people self diagnosing themselves with something that I struggle with.

Stop posting this shit.

I’m seeing a lot of articles putting the rate at 5%. Google is just so much worse than it used to be…

That 5% figure is 3 years old, and one report from 2018 had the figure at 8.7% so it appears to be dropping. Based on the political climate in the US that number is unlikely to my rise anytime soon.

That 5% figure comes from The Guardian, a British newspaper, which I would actually trust more than a domestic source at this point. Based on what I’ve read about what the Trump administration has done to the EPA, I would imagine any new pollution reports won’t be a possibility for a while.

Yes, based on what I’ve read. Less than 5% of the plastic that consumers place in recycling bins actually gets recycled. The rest is shipped to other countries, who then dump it in the ocean. When you throw plastic in the garbage it ends up in a domestic landfill. Landfills certainly aren’t ideal, but at least we know where it is, and it’s better than the ocean.

Plastic recycling is one of the primary sources of microplastics. They use jets of air to remove labels, which creates an enormous cloud of microplastic. People who live near plastic “recycling” plants have more plastic in their bodies than people who don’t.

There are articles about this out there.

There are water filters that remove microplastics and PFAs called Zero filters. They’re kind of pricey and create plastic waste, but they help. The only real downside I see is all the damn plastic I’m throwing away, but at least they last 6 months.

This was delightful to read, thank you for typing it out : )

Fireworks in November? Fuck that. There’s absolutely nothing wholesome about fireworks.

Gotta keep saying it until people stop using his photos for memes.

Sharing art without crediting the artist isn’t very wholesome…

You’re both right. Capitalism accelerates climate change but so does the outrageous electricity requirements of LLMs.

Is this intended for cars to replace Google Maps? Is there a trail version for backpacking? Looks nice!

The ending of the sequel fucked me up for weeks. Absolutely brutal.
