  • The skunk should be a bat. We need a flying type.

  • Not other things good either.

  • What do you mean by that? The standards of education or mental health in schools?

    In the U.S., schools are funded by property taxes, so schools in rich areas are fine, although educational standards suck across the nation.

  • Depends on the person. I’m a therapist, tons of my clients are very upset, scared, crying, having trouble sleeping, depressed, feeling powerless and angry, etc.

    This administration’s actions are taking a huge toll on some people’s mental health.

    And people who are trans or gay? They are scared and many want to get out but can’t.

    Having said all that… there are plenty of people who are not bothered because they are not informed and don’t realize how bad things really are.

  • On fingers? Look, some of us need an abacus.

    Edit: I also distinctly remember the claim that humans fart 14 times a day on average. Are you telling me this figure was just made up? Without counting the farts with smart underwear?! That’s a travesty. I was spreading misinformation this whole time.

  • Yes, they have been all over Etsy for a while now.

  • I knead that in my life.

  • Yeah, that’s very accurate. We can’t “just” relax.

  • True dat - that’s where the dopamine dial comes in handy, same for those same tools like breathwork in between switching from relaxing to doing.

    I’m not going to pretend it’s perfect by any means, but I am better at it now in my 40s than I was in my 30s (only comparing medicated to medicated), so practice helps somewhat.

  • This might be a controversial opinion, but learning how to relax has been the best thing I have done for myself as an AuDHD person (other than getting diagnosed and medicated for ADHD).

    Finding activities that work for me (breathwork and movement; edit: also music) for switching from busy to relaxed and back was super important.

    And learning how to recognize when I’m about to crash earlier and earlier so I can do something about it.

    I also really like the concept of the dopamine dial, where you turn the intensity of dopamine-producing activities up or down depending on what you need.

  • I love my husband but I love not shidding my pants better.

  • Here is the official diagnostic criteria:

    Disregard for and violation of others rights since age 15, as indicated by one of the seven sub features:

    1. Failure to obey laws and norms by engaging in behavior which results in criminal arrest, or would warrant criminal arrest
    2. Lying, deception, and manipulation, for profit or self-amusement,

    3. Impulsive behavior

    4. Irritability and aggression, manifested as frequently assaults others, or engages in fighting

    5. Blatantly disregards safety of self and others,

    6. A pattern of irresponsibility and 

    7. Lack of remorse for actions (American Psychiatric Association, 2013)

    How is this “not really bad on its own?”

  • Just dug mine out of the closet. Here it comes.

    I'd pay good money for this

  • I read “beers” as “bees” and was really confused. Although a few bees wouldn’t hurt as long as you don’t antagonize them.

  • My dog likes to sleep in. She will poke her head out of the covers at 7:30am, watch me get up and then go back to snoring.

  • What about…

  • So, likely major depressive disorder? I’m not surprised. The future looks bleak.

  • I’m pretty sure they are talking about doing this all day. It’s just a new name for major depressive disorder.

  • I’ve got irises. Can you milk me, Greg?
