Since you mentioned you got your hearing checked and everything is okay… Auditory Processing Disorder is a pretty common neurodivergence with a lot of overlap with ADHD/OCD/depression/anxiety/et al. It’s common with any or all of the others, but it shows up in neurotypical people too.

I’m ADHD and have APD as well :)

My building has these and 2 of them failed in the first year. Can’t replace the battery so had to replace the whole thing.

And they’re going to populate. Sounds like a movie I saw.

I don’t fly a lot, but that’s also its main use. I’m on a trip right now, I bought Pokemon just for this trip :)

Fr stop producing c-tier content for millions of dollars and just pay for better content and/or make it cheaper. I don’t need 14 generic action movies starring Ryan Reynolds and dozens of forgettable shows.

Awww… reminds me of my Husky, she really mellowed out in her elder years and I got a small stuffed brontosaurus toy from the shop. She treated it like a baby and would carry it around, and we’d make a game of hiding it and letting her find it.

Rest in peace Hannah 🥲

Have you ever talked to her about it? Are you a supervisor or any sort even if she’s not a direct report?

This is minor, but if it bothers you and distracts you from your work I’d say address it as feedback - “Hey, I’m usually pretty busy when you come in. You seemed upset that I don’t get a chance to stop and properly greet you, but I’m focused on work at that time, let’s catch up on a break/lunch”

I used to let so many of these little things go because it wasn’t worth it but little things add up and can make the workplace miserable. I’ve found people are pretty understanding and I started being more assertive about distractions and my work life has improved a lot. I’m ADHD and getting derailed kills my productivity. People eating at their desks, approaching me the moment they need something, asking questions when the answers are available on SharePoint, etc.

I had no idea this was a thing until one day I was swapping games or something and temporarily held it between my lips. I didn’t taste it right away so I didn’t immediately link it back to the cartridge, but I mentioned it to the SO and she enlightened me.

I fell for a trap set for children and pets.

Check out Timberborn, it doesn’t check all of your boxes but a lot of it revolves around water management - building dams and reservoirs, diverting rivers, surviving dry seasons, etc. At its core it’s just a fun city building game and I highly recommend it if that sounds good to you. It’s 20% off ok Steam right now too.

I really like The Tower Game lately

Someone called me a cinnamon toast bitch today on overwatch.

I can hear the music and the AK ricochet sound effects.

Yeah I used be like wow I have $5000 time to buy some bullshit. But really $3-4000 of that is upcoming expenses so I really only have $1000 and I should use that to pay down a CC or student loans.

It auto categorizes now but it’s still a little tedious, sometime recently they added batch categorizing so I can grab all the restaurants and add that to my Eating Out category but it also forces me to look at my finances every couple days which is a good habit imo.

I use YNAB (you need a budget) it’s not free but it’s GREAT for setting savings goals, paying back debt, etc.

It’s also flexible if you need to break your budget for some reason. You can pull from another bucket easily (gas bill is high, pull from emergency savings or cut from gaming), or just overspend and it goes on a report to keep track and plan better.

The best part is peace of mind on big bills - when it comes time to pay taxes or pay for my 6mo car insurance I’ve already been saving 1/12 or 1/6 of that total every month leading up to it. I can put everything in auto pay and never have to worry about the money being there.

Yeah they gave em a clip and an order to follow someone with a rifle and pick it up when they inevitably get shot.

Yeah I was way off, and my hand was in her pants so I couldn’t see what was going on.

I see, when I’m on All I browse by Hot.
