I, on the other hand, will start a sentence, – something like, “but regardless, what really gets overlooked is…” – and realize that from word 1, I didn’t even have the concept of a point.

I realize, in that moment, that I was ENTIRELY reciting tokens.

Technically still a touch!

Damn it, it’s now GNL and we have to rewrite all the textbooks!

at least I can rely on people online to call me privileged because of my genitals and skin colour

Dude. Life is too short. Spoons are too hard to come by. Whoever is saying that to you, block them. Block them right now. For good measure, block one or two people for the mere crime of showing clips containing this bullshit rhetoric.

Not people complaining while offering wholesome alternatives, mind you, like Jordan_the_Stallion8 or Speech Prof or Joey Swoll (YOU MUST NEVER BLOCK JOEY SWOLL!)

But if you’re following some internet personality, and they show these weird extremists to you, and all you feel is anger afterwards… get rid of the people showing you the crazy man-haters. You do not need that in your life.

There will always be some portion of the population that seeks to invalidate every form of pain. Every, single form of pain!

• saying rape victims are “asking for it”
• saying poor people just need to work harder
• saying ADHD folks like you and I are only held back by our laziness
• saying black people who get the shit kicked out of them by a police officer “should have tried to deescalate”
• saying white men live easy lives

Often these people are narcissists, and are fed by the outrage they generate. Sometimes they are just set in their ways, and don’t realize that science and society have moved past their obsolete worldview.

But in all cases, these people aren’t worth your limited energy.

Block them and subscribe to ADHD groups on all of your apps.

The person saying “have some empathy” and the person complaining about being called privileged are two different accounts, fyi.

With all due respect, if you haven’t tried peanut butter at least once with every form of easily-retrievable food found in a fridge (tortilla, rice, carrots, celery, apples), then you have been managing your executive dysfunction waaaaay too effectively. What kind of ADHD meds are you on?

Almost. I’m a backup you created of yourself. You don’t remember why. Neither do I. One of us was going to write it down, but by the time the pencil was in hand, the thought was gone from both of our minds.

You know, soy milk is a beverage that has protein.

Let me spell that out:

• it is a beverage (can be pulled out of the fridge and consumed in a matter of seconds)
• that has protein (can be used to substitute for part of a meal)

There have been days when I got my carbs from apple juice and my protein from soy milk. And also, like, a carrot or two. (Those can also be eaten with peanut butter.)

Do with that what you will.

You know, this wouldn’t be a problem if you had decided to have the moxy (aka $250,000 in startup capital from your parents) required to make yourself into a self made billionaire. If you’d gone that way, you could afford to hire a private chef by now.
