Pretty on-brand career move for Señor Chang I see

Yeah my metricpilled brain instantly noped out when I found that out

It would, except.. they use it to measure the amount of water in swimming pools.

I take a second lower dose at about 1pm. It helps push the effect all the way into the evening. But yes - it’s been life changing for me too

Hello, I am diagnosed with ADHD and I take Vyvanse. It’s similar to adderall but much slower release, and I find that it helps me a lot with both motivation and focus.

Unfortunately there is no shortcut to avoiding the rabbit holes. The things that are proven to help are the things we want to do least, like setting and sticking to a strict schedule. If you need to get specific things done, body doubling (asking a friend to cowork or just be in the same space as you) can help for short bursts.

The more you practice mental discipline with small things the easier it gets with bigger things. But ultimately there is no “cure”; it’s all learning to live with it best you can.

Feel free to DM me with any ADHD stuff. I am not an expert but can maybe share experiences/insights.

I recently found out about the “acre foot” as a volumetric measurement and instantly died at the stupidity

I keep being told “if Biden wins then next time the Dems can choose someone younger or lefter but if trump wins there will be no democracy in four years” and my mind boggles at how delusional this is. As if the DNC are suddenly going to pander to the youth and realise it’s time for AOC (and I know she’s awful but that’s what the libs think of as a radical candidate lmao) after spending decades ensuring only the most hawkish imperialist fucks get the nomination

So I founded a start up with my partner. It’s an online business that isn’t making a bunch of plastic products and is a service that will help players in our hobby. But honestly, the mental weight of fighting for capital and trying to get funding is.. I don’t know if I really play the entrepreneur game well enough for it. I am good at making connections and leading projects and managing people. But the constant need to sell what we’re doing to capitalists as not only “will make a successful business” but “will 100X your investment in 5 years” is just. Excruciating.

The reason I’m doing it though is that I just don’t see how in the current world I’m supposed to get to a stable and secure state without owning our own business. I used to be a lawyer and I was just protecting the interests of the oligarchy and it was unbearable. Being an employee for someone else is, to my kind, always a risk. We are privileged enough to get this chance to try to build something that lasts, and we are good at it.

Honestly I long for revolution and the collapse of Western imperialism. I’m bourgeois as fuck but I want to dedicate my life to a meaningful cause. In the meantime though I guess I’m trying to “win” at capitalism enough that I can just be independently wealthy and not rely on others. I don’t know. I hate it all

I just threw up in my mouth a little

Japan ragequitting League of Nations vibes?

What are your thoughts on the different interpretations?

Will do. I think I may have heard about it before but it’s all kind of fuzzy. Isn’t Everett multiverse the hip new hotness right now?
