Oh, and a consistent exercise routine helps a ton too. And so does keeping a consistent sleep schedule. And so does minimizing stress. And minimizing shame regarding your symptoms.

I’m a procrastinator

I’m accruing technical debt

In healing from my own ADHD-related trauma, I’ve learned that “I’m not interested” is often the actual reason and that there are coping strategies for making this the case.

In parenting my ADHD-riddled children, I’ve realized that “I’m not interested” is also not a panacea and sometimes no amount of coping will make you interested in certain things

Can someone more experienced in self hosting explain why I would wanted a dedicated prosumer NAS over just a regular tower with a bunch of drives? I understand why someone working at a data center might want a rack mount NAS full of drives. But the desktop NAS models you see on like Newegg don’t immediately strike me as special.

I’ve had a similar “DM’s unexamined biases” experience with treating certain races as inherently deserving of slaughter. Like, my first campaign ever was run with a goblin sorcerer who I got really close with. “There’s a war where one side is all goblins” is not a clear cut plot hook to get us to join the opposition by itself.

Dunno how feelgood it’s supposed to be, but I just rewatched Why Stop Now and it’s great

2025 is the year of the Linux laptop

The eugenics must flow

About 3 million Americans die every year. Compared with other rich countries, we die at an alarmingly higher rate: One-quarter of those deaths wouldn’t have occurred if America were only as deadly as its peers.

The Black Book of Capitalism strikes again

I’m playing both sides

I used to refactor code from r/programminghorror as an exercise. And I’ve headed 2 divide and conquer initiatives for gradual refactors on a 500k line codebase. I’m decent at it. But getting buy in is hard. We somehow once got management to agree to a 6 month feature freeze so we could pay off tech debt and get the platform to stop shitting itself on the reg.

The rest of my career is going to be joining startups a couple years in and gradually refactoring their AI fueled spaghetti, isn’t it?

Communist January 6ers in the ballroom in 2033:

“Requirements”

D-FENS is so aspirational especially the part where he stands up to the brown people and foreigners and then

That’s why I like old school image boards with filtering. Some places have such specific tags to exclude or include and it’s nice

I was not doing well

My worst week ever, I averaged 22 hours a day

Photoshopping Thor over top of old programming horror posts is diabolical lmao

Many of these things can be curbed through medication and therapy. And people with ADHD will still pay more an average for all of them. Both things are true.
