The Secret of Monkey Island Master of Orion Dune Strike Commander Privateer

my treatment resistant major depressive disorder, which ruined my young suicidal life from age 9 to 34, has almost entirely resolved as a result of treating my ADHD

It’s almost exactly the same story for me.

Took me until age 37 and my experience with SSRIs has been BAD.

Losing all those years to depression is still a major bummer for me, leaving me low key depressed most times. And despite knowing all about it and managing it with routines and medication, my ADHD still often feels like a significant disability.

Only if you do your part.

(is the logic here)

And lots of straight up Latin, yeah.

Of course you realize that English is a Germanic language? Therefore it is you who have strayed from the proper words. 😉

Noah Caldwell-Gervais. Thank me later.

I feel like they’ve gotten better over time. And some settings you’re really only supposed to be changing if you know what you’re doing.

You know you’re going to be suffering the FOMO until you do it.

Dialogues that don’t require clicking OK to apply my selection. What if I change my mind or click the wrong thing?

Here’s a past annoyance: help text for BIOS settings that was like

Tronic memory catalyst conversion ratio: Sets the ratio of tronic memory catalyst conversion.

O RLY? 🤔

Blue LEDs are eye piercing, especially when they are always on and you are trying to sleep in the same room.

Users are lazy AF and hate to read. No matter how instructive the error message, some people would rather open a helpdesk ticket because “the computer isn’t working again”.

It says right there your USB drive is full and suggests deleting some files to free up space, Karen! 🤨

Cries in 4K monitor

Seriously, I love the concept of NewPipe but the low resolution bugs me too much. I’m holding out with Firefox and uBlock as long as I can.

And guess what, if it gave me an ad free experience at an affordable price I actually wouldn’t mind paying for YT Premium.

Yeahhh, I mean, it’s not terrible once you zoom in but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to crack this joke.

There’s no gooning like gooning adventures with your friends. 😄

Actually, I think you’re both right. Yes, Joe Rogan (as a cultural phenomenon) has no good reason to exist and I, too, want to see him destroyed.

But the evidence is mounting that many people love to listen to a wretched, moronic, self-important piece of shit like him (or Alex Jones or countless others on the right). Because he validates all of their worst tendencies for bigotry, conspiracist thinking, and intellectual laziness. Building up another Hasan Piker or Jimmy Dore isn’t helping because all they do is preach to the choir.

If you want meaningful change you have to get money out of politics, reform the voting system, and focus on education. Not that any of that is going to happen without a major upheaval but hey, I’m trying to be constructive here…

Fun!

Let’s not forget the grand daddy of them all: The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Somewhat apropos I recommend watching Adam Curtis’ take on what he calls Oh Dearism:

My favorite NES “soundtrack” is Dark Side of the Moon, Brad Smith’s fantastic adaptation of the Pink Floyd classic for the NES console.

Great “use” of quotation “marks” and I’ll have one of each please. 😊

Some people just can’t handle being released from Plato’s cave.
