Unlike in real life, this bee is going home to accolades.

So you’re saying the horses should have been used to hide all evidence of the ineptitude of the men.

That works too.

“Some DIY is fun, some is stuff we do by mistake because ‘well how hard can it be anyway?’ and it teaches us a lot for the next project. The rest we do purely to spite ourselves, because we should be able to do it, damnit!”

-thing I said to a friend who asked why I was putting so much effort on myself when I could just buy a flat-pack for the same cost and 99% less effort.

Ha sorry not you judging; partner. Who won’t either. I just have poverty spend-confidence issues. 😅 justify every large purchase. This one is “because I want it” which is difficult justification.

But it glows, precious. It has power, precious. I wanted it so much, and now it will be mine, my precious. 😊

Thank you! I’m super pumped!

Maybe someday all that practice will pay off. Unlikely, you know, but maybe.

Have not watched Buffy, no. But I believe you fully. Just didn’t think it was a big deal for voice but… at the same time I’m quite face blind so muffling and costumes don’t usually impact my ability to recognize someone. So it’s low-key amazing to me the lengths some people go to

Y’all do know that’s a real thing though, right?

I read something about they are under new ownership and keeping logs now, despite saying they don’t (they aren’t in a privacy-friendly sort of place). This was like 6mths ago. I can’t find anything about it now, so I’m not entirely sure what’s true, but it’s enough to spook me on it either way.

Additionally, for me at least, the service was being blocked a ton more than used to happen (couldn’t access a lot of the sites I was using it for) and it doesn’t seem the client has been updated in ages.

It’s probably fine, but it’s not worth it for me anymore.

My attic is over the detached garage, so I’d choose person hands down.

I probably wouldn’t know for a really long time, because I don’t use that space (the ladder up there is duct-taped where it cracked at some point, and since I don’t use it, I’m not about to replace it) it stays decently warm up there so less concern about finding a frozen corpse, and if someone did croak in the garage, the smell wouldn’t permanently be in the house.

But roaches would find their way into the house.

Why?

Are we not ruining Earth enough and need more stuff to ruin, or do the rich want somewhere to go when they have destroyed things for the rest of us?

I mean I love space, and I’d love to move to a retirement community on the moon (I’ve even come up with a crappy slogan! “1/6 the gravity makes old bodies feel new again!”) but for real, why do we need commercial enterprise in the moon? Can’t we just have a nice moon that isn’t ruined by capitalism like literally everything else it touches?

I’m not who you replied to but I was on Ritalin from 5-13 or so, then off all meds until about 34.

I sought it out because things were becoming more of a struggle than they used to be (for context, I graduated hs, served in the military, and graduated cum laude with a BS all unmedicated). I just couldn’t get the same motivation from my prior strategies.

I am on basically the same drug now (methylphenidate), but a lower dose than when I was a kid (the extreme high dose is why I stopped taking it-so many side effects). At this point I really only take it when I want to be productive, mostly because I cannot remember to take it daily to save my life.

It does have its own set of challenges, like there are still side effects, and remembering to even take it early enough is a pain (if you delay, your sleep is likely to be impacted), and a lot of doctors don’t want you testing positive for thc, even if you use the drugs on different days, which reduces your options for overcoming the stimulant effect at night.

But it does help me get going when I take it, and imho it is worth it if it works for you too. You might need to try a few different meds to find the right one for your adult chemistry, but if Ritalin was effective for you back when, methylphenidate might be an option now.

And if you decide the meds aren’t worth it, they don’t give you the effect you were looking for or the side effects are too much, you don’t have to keep taking them. The joy of being an adult is nobody forcing it on you.
