Your comment is actually very reminiscent of Reddit.

I wish I had received a realistic expectation when I went. Aside from vomiting in the parking lot after, I should have found someone to drive me. I had a very very hard time getting home and I shouldn’t have driven at all. I’m lucky I didn’t cause an accident.

Thanks for posting. I was literally l looking for updates on this recently and couldn’t find anything. I was worried that it might have been forgotten about

Why you gotta call me out like that? This is annoyingly accurate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That used to happen to me. I found I could only listen to audio books if I was doing something else to use up some extra “processing resources.”

I would describe it to other people as an overloaded circuit. If I applied all my brain power at the book, it would overload and shutoff.

If I was doing some tedious task that required some attention, but not too much, I could divert some of that excess energy away without overloading it. So for me that was, stocking shelves at work, doing the dishes, folding laundry, etc.

Driving wasn’t enough so I couldn’t listen to the book. (Though, later, I did train myself to and now I can do it fine)

Yeah I read the post and didn’t take the intended lesson. I said “oh! I can make that!”

All the posts are from the same account.

I just checked, it’s all from the same account.

Awhile back, I started tracking the time between the listed showtime and the actual start time of the movie. I logged them all and I would post it on Twitter. Then, Elon bought Twitter and I sort of abandoned the project (and Twitter).

At AMC (where I see most movies because it’s near me and they have a monthly pass), pre-roll/previews are 15-30 minutes long. The bigger and newer a movie is, the longer it is. Most tend to be around 20-25 minutes.

I started showing up 21 minutes late to most of them but I would usually be right on time for the start of the film.

I didn’t hear about that one almost at all and I go to the theater every week.

I only knew about it because I like the director and go out of my way to look up interesting movies.

I had to use ADHD Online too. I was in a waiting list for 8month. At 8months, they called to see if I wanted to keep waiting. I said yes but never heard back, until a friend recommended ADHD Online as well.

All good! Were different people and what works for me might not work for you! I just love books and I want you to be able to enjoy them too. :)

I had the problem a lot in the beginning. I start and quit books several times over over the years. Then, one day it started working and it’s awesome.

Try it again, once it “clicks” you’ll just be able to do it when you want to.

I switched to audiobooks. Do a mindless task while listening that keeps me focused enough that my mind doesn’t wander, but l not using so much that I can also pay attention to the book.

I watch Futurama every night at bed. Hulu is the only app that plays when I leave the TV on but turn off the screen.

I only have D+ because it was cheaper to get HBO and Hulu in their bundle rather than separately.

Birds can make two sounds at once! They harmonize with themselves! I think that’s incredible. Sometimes when you hear a some birds calling to each other, it’s actually just one bird.

I learned about it during this podcast!

I assume they are just trying to get on Brendan Carr’s good side so they don’t cut NPR and PBS.

I do preorder digital games but not just anything I’m excited about. It has to come from a single dev or small dev team that I specifically want to support, and help fund their progress. In this example, I’d preorder Haunted Chocolatier by ConceredApe (dev behind Stardew Valley).

OR, if the game is made by studio with a stellar track record or an absolutely phenomenal game. These more rare but their are a few. These also need to treat their dev team and customers well. No crunch. No shady micro-transactions.

For example, Hades 2 is something I would consider preordering. The next game by Larian Studios might also be on that list.

And they don’t get it right but want to move on with the conversation. Now you don’t hear anything they say, just trying to remember the word. You try to force yourself to listen but you can’t stop your brain from going through every word you know.

Two hours later you yell out “effervescent”. You’re overcome with relief only to realize the other person is one and now you’re in a work meeting.
