100%. Definitely starts promoting everyone in the meeting too once they are all high.

I appreciate that perspective. They aren’t bad habits, they are different habits… and they work better in certain scenarios too. Convert those mannerisms to superpowers I say.

Yeah I definitely think it could work if it’s done the right way There are some much needed functionalities that Lemmy has yet to offer that will make it easier to stand up instances like this (easier customization, better cross-posting, better admin/mod tools, and clearer documentation). But the idea is great and it could work with some patience and hard work across various different players in the lemmy game.

Great idea! Will be checking it out soon. A few communities I am moderating on lemmy.world are:

• NY Giants
• New England Revs
• XFL
• North Carolina FC

Would be interested to see how crossover might work between instances.

Yeah I don’t know if I could handle the crash and other side-effects. I already have so many other health things I am trying to manage and understand I feel like this would be another wrench thrown into the proverbial machine.

I did get a chance to meet with the therapist and she immediately was like “you have ADHD”. All it took was mentioning my unending fidgeting and constant need to rush things and she already knew where it was going. I wonder if a therapist has the ability to administer any tests even if they aren’t for the purpose of medication - more as a clinical confirmation of diagnosis I guess?

Thanks for your ADHD story btw!

Yeah, dang - thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.

If I could add you myself I would. I’ll check back in a couple days to remind you. Every vote for seltzer counts.

Not me but my wife. If she is having trouble falling asleep I always remind her to play Futurama on her phone then she is out like a light in ~10 minutes.

I think from a business perspective a third-party app is still competition only in the sense that they are pulling away “numbers” from their own app, views, analytics, marketers. Even if they aren’t direct competition it’s something that they are competing against in a different sense. But your point is still correct - these apps are participating and aiding in a beneficial way even if it can’t be quantified by their financial / marketing / product departments.

I mean FREE is the best discount you can get sooo… YOINK!

Yep, and sometimes it can be triggered by “intending” to leave the site either by navigating away from the cart or moving your cursor towards the tab’s “X” button - you don’t always have to close out of the tab.

True, the log/activity view is probably more feasible.

If they are so pro-capitalist then why are they not OK with competition then?

That’s a solid additional tip there - mostly works in cases where an email is involved.

It’s up to the writer. Exactly. It’s also important to remember to pick one way of doing it and do it that way consistently throughout the work you are writing for.

Nothing is better for and ADHD brain than tests and more tests. 😬

I’m hoping that I won’t need meds at all and there’s an approach where I can just use therapy to help me understand myself and how I can manage my bad habits.

What’s frustrating is that I took some tests when I was younger but they were administered by someone in my family who actively was hoping I wouldn’t have ADHD and therefore wouldn’t need meds - so that confused me a bit… unless they were right and I’m potentially an anxious mess instead. But anxiety might be it’s own meds 🤪. Still would like to avoid it.

So, relax, get the foundational bits out of the way, when the time comes be honest about how I feel. Simple enough. Thanks!

Only when I hit a point where I say “I am very tired and should go to bed” and then that’s when I might actually start doing work. Got to love it.

fist bump 👊 😎

I literally am doing the same thing. I should be working on some client projects that are due over the next two days and instead I created 7 different communities. But I am creating those communities so damn well! 🤷🏻‍♂️
