Damnit! And bravo my friend, I guess I need to watch the whole series again

Nope, gen z, and I haven’t actually read any of the Harry Potter books myself.

But you’re on the right track; I think it was reading The Hobbit that did me in lol

Well, that doesn’t make it clearer so I’m guessing it’s an episode from the new(ish) seasons that I haven’t gotten around to watching yet

When I am talking about fibrous material, like individual strands of carbon in a composite, I naturally type “fibre” but when I talk about nutrition or the internet it’s “fiber”

I also tend to spell armor armour and color colour despite being American.

Oh and I write grey instead of gray.

I also catch myself writing units like metre and litre instead of meter and liter sometimes.

It really all depends on if there’s a spellchecker turned on that will tell me I’m spelling things wrong.

I have literally started to add every thought in my head into obsidian and already it feels like someone could probably recreate my mind from it lol

The best ADHD feature is the ability to link notes, even ones that done exist. So if you have a really specific idea about some topic you can just write it down, link it to the topic, and then get back to whatever task you were doing when the thought arose. Then when you have time you can find the idea again as long as you remember the topic or topics you linked it too

Damn, I think this is the first one (that I’ve seen) that I haven’t been able to guess and find a quote for.

My first guess was Leela and the Genestalk, which from the other comments seems incorrect.

Second was beast with a billion backs but I don’t think yivo actually leaves many suction marks mostly just “Yivo touched me in a bad place, my spinal cord!”

From the hint in the comments that they were indeed tentacle marks, I thought maybe it was a head in the polls where Fry activates the thought activated “magic tentacles” of the hotel bed, but I don’t think those leave marks and fry is wearing black in that scene not his red jacket.

The only other one I could think of was Farewell to Arms in which leela gets covered in tentacle marks from the monster in the puddle but if I recall correctly in the next scene fry is only wearing his underwear, no red jacket.

I have been beaten but as a wise old polygamist once said: “You can crush me but you can never crush my spirit! … Ahh my spirit!”

If anyone wants to read up more on “Governments were formed and exist to protect property rights” you might want to read The State and Revolution. It is pretty short and very relevant to this discussion

I grew up in a small Utah town. The only four adults I ever remember hearing admit they were wrong especially when it came to politics or science or religion were my father and three of my high school teachers.

All the rest would literally tell me that the research papers and encyclopedias I tried to cite as evidence were made up by either satan or some government deep state conspiracy. Or they’d say we can “agree to disagree” about shit like animals feeling pain and the flaws in eugenics (I wish I was joking)

Yes, they have always been this stupid. Learning requires accepting when you’re wrong and the vast majority of people I knew growing up saw that as weakness.

I thought it would be different when I got out of that place, and while living in a larger city is better, it’s not better by all that much.

 

I don’t know if there already is a real Web 3.0 definition out there (the first search results I got were using web3.0 to promote crypto so fuck that definition) but like Web 1.0 was the internet being a way for specific scientists/hobbyists/organizations to send esoteric data right?

Web 2.0 is the shift over to creating and sharing content on a broad scale, people reaching out through the web to interact and express themselves. Creators and companies trying to reach out to be accessible by lots of people.

We went from “you have to put in work to send/receive data on the net” to “it is easy for you to send stuff to the net and recieve stuff from the net” to “the net knows where you live and begs you to give it data it can sell then takes that data even if you refuse”

We also went from “you want this info, you need to find someone with it, set up a connection, get it” to “now we have efficient search engines help you easily find what you want” to “the internet is now the library of babel but worse because all the nonsense is ‘AI’ which can sometimes convincingly look like it isn’t nonsense.”

Both those paths seem like direct continuation so I propose we use web3.0 as a term for the enshittified internet.

Thoughts? We can call the decentralization of the net 4.0 because it’s being spurred on in response to 3.0 yeah?

Deleuzian Rule

 

I noticed a few months ago that while I don’t like taking my meds when I don’t have anything to do, I feel the desire to take my meds before going to do things with my family members. It feels like I’m less anxious and frustrated with them when I’m medicated.

I looked into it and it looks like Adderall might weakly act like an SSRI, so it might be kind of like microdosing anxiety meds.

Well, yesterday, for an unrelated reason, I decided to take an extra dose of my meds.

WARNING: DONT DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS UNLESS YOUVE TALKED TO A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.

Don’t worry I did let my psychiatrist know before hand. This experiment was meant to just make the focus effects last the whole day by starting earlier with my other doeses and then taking two extra half doses spread out in the early evening.

Fun fact, 40mg is the max recommended dose and I ended up taking 45mg. I don’t intend to take that much ever again. It wasn’t horrible but it did feel like I passed the point of it helping me focus.

After taking the first extra half I felt my heart rate go up and I got a slight tension headache, but I felt okay enough to take the other half. I expected it to make me more tense or more jittery, but at what I assume was the peak, I felt the opposite. For the entire peak and rest of the evening, I felt just incredibly calm.

My heart rate was even lower than it typically is on meds (though still high). But the weirdest part was that I just felt calm. My muscles didn’t even feel that tense. I was not able to focus all that well, (which means 45mg is too much Adderall lol) but I was fine with that.

I didn’t feel any high or happiness, honestly I felt bored but I was just like fine with that. I didn’t feel the urge to listen to music or watch something but I also could listen to music or watch something without feeling annoyed like I do when I want some stimulation but nothing is the right stimulation.

I even scrolled on lemmy for a bit but saw it was all more trump and Elon bullshit and instead of doomscrolling compulsively I just put my phone down. I mean it was literally like Nirvana. I had no desires or happiness but honestly I was just fine with that.

Anyway, my best guess is that I took enough adderall that it started acting like anxiety meds. I do have generalized anxiety which I haven’t gotten medicated for because I still have some irrational desire to not take meds, but that’s not the topic of this post. What I want to know is do any of you feel similar calming effects from your meds?

It really seems counterintuitive for stimulants to make you less anxious. And hey Methylphenidate made me wayy more anxious than adderall. Oh, also I don’t feel any high from adderall, (especially at that dose I took last night since I got a slightly annoying stress headache). I don’t feel withdrawal either even when I take a break after a long period of constantly being on my meds. Hell I still have to force myself to take my meds every day, so I guess it’s just not giving any sort of reward to trigger habit formation. Anyway, I say all this because I’m wondering if not getting adrenaline or pleasure from the adderall is correlated with being able to notice a calming effect from it. Anyone feel like their experience supports/weakens that hypothesis?
