Am I getting my hopes up for nothing? =(

The pen?! Damn, that’s impressive.

The one I might use is a an old Galaxy Note. I wonder if I’ll have similar luck.

Whoa, I don’t know why I’ve never considered Linux on a tablet. I have a couple that are gathering dust in a closet, and if this is doable, it sounds like a fun project!

Being able to separate your ego and desire to be right from the learning process is such an important skill.

The pirate voice in my head nearly ran out of breath singing the post title.

Absolutely. People want there to be a fair trade-off, but life just doesn’t work that way. I’ve seen similar romanticization of autism too, especially with the “savants”.

This is hilarious. Also, did they just have half the cast in wigs?

You try your best to make it feel like one of those luxurious Norwegian prisons.

I had to deal with their T&S for my account being locked once. It was indeed a nightmare.

I consider myself pretty reserved and knew that I had never said or shared anything even remotely problematic, so I appealed, and they denied the request without even looking at it, then refused to respond to further questions (or even tell me what I supposedly did). It took me publicly complaining about the whole ordeal on social media for about a week for someone at discord to notice, look at my case, and finally realize a mistake had been made and unlock my account. They still never explained what happened.

Discord support is the absolute worst. I hope to never have to deal with them again.

I feel this one hard.

In my mind, before I can play a game, I need to have lots of time, nothing else that I’m doing later, and the perfect amount of energy to really concentrate on it. Unfortunately, life has gotten busy, so I’m trying to get more comfortable playing for 20min here, 20min there instead of scrolling on my phone.

I’m not 100% sure, because it’s been circulating as an image, but a quick google search leads me to a meteorologist named Dan Johnson who apparently posted this to facebook a few years ago.

is withdrawal a thing?

100%

Ah, that makes more sense!

ADHD meds are lowering your blood pressure?

It’s been 15+ years for me (although with lots of on and off), but if you’re used to living with ADHD, it can feel like a fog is being lifted. You can suddenly hold more in your head at once and don’t have to mentally “drop” a thought to be able to process other things. It’s like slotting in an extra stick of RAM.

The meds probably have that effect on anyone, but it’s profound if you’ve been working with a deficit.

I might. I’ve tried a few of the extended release versions, but the primary effects would only last the normal 4-6 hrs, and then I’d experience solely the negative side-effects for the rest of the day. I prefer the quick acting ones because I like it clearing my system faster, even if it’s less convenient.

Yeah, that’s not a fun trade-off.

I frequently talk myself in and out of them. I’m currently in an “out” period for the past couple of years. I miss the clarity, but not the side effects.

They say that most are these days, but I don’t trust it enough to test.
