though the D³ sounds cool the nerds (doctors) would probably be against it as it’s a double negative that implies we get more dopamine than the intended deficit of it? or whatever a disorder of a deficit would be, honestly i’m not sure

people confuse those two a lot. especially non-native speakers who’s languages have one word for borrow and lend

we should rename adhd again, it really sucks to be only known by the things that annoy others, and not the actual struggles we face. maybe something like “dopamine production disorder” or perhaps “executive functioning disorder”

i’m so tired of ai

that glass looks thin… unless you want to be One Man One Hollow Glass Dick i’d suggest you reconsider

maybe because adhd means our brains are wired differently, yk neurodivergent, and you know what brains are responsible for? that’s right, everything (identity is covered by everything)

seeing as it’s ridiculously hard to begin a career in filmmaking, a lot of filmmakers wanting to get into the field have to start in places where there’s always work to do - and that often haplens to be in ad companies

i think “offer” is the keyword here. they specifically didn’t say “job contract”, they just signed an “offer” of some kind, whatever that is. A job contract is a legal document that has a specific definition of what it entails, an “offer” is just an offer

i think they mean - unless you have signed a proper contract (not just an offer) and there are now consequences for the employer if they let you go for no reason, then you should still stick to your old job

fun fact the fruit was first, the colour was named after it. before that, people called the colour orange “yellow-red”

but set your timer to like 10min more than the washing machine tells you, because that thing is going to be at 00:00 for an extra 15min

if i don’t intend to forget about a thing, i do not put the thing in a place i can’t see it. yes my flat is a bit of a mess because of that, and so is my desktop, but hey, it works for me

as i child i used to play a mind game with myself when i was bored. i’d think of two random things and try to find a string of associations that connect the two. i was born being a nerd, playing the wikipedia game before i knew how to read

my thoughts simply do not stop

i think the world is brighter for having had him. i don’t want to mourn him, i want to celebrate what he’s given us

woah, bee society is more interesting than i thought. thank you for sharing!

no don’t apologise, i know that even just writing things like that out makes the world and your mind make a bit more sense for a while. and if you don’t mind some virtual touch i’m sending you a virtual hug. i don’t know what to say what you probably haven’t thought to yourself already, but since i know the critic in your mind probably doesn’t let you hear this often then - you’re doing great, considering everything you’re doing great, keep going

huh, that is- strange, it sounds almost as if knowing “from the start” about being twice exceptional fucked you up more than being oblivious. very few know about my IQ, and i only got tested at 18, same with adhd where i had my first suspicions at university and started trying to get diagnosed after it. what you’re describing sounds like a deeply confusing child/teenagehood. it sounds like you were kind of taught to feel helpless and doubt yourself

and oh man, i hope that the spark to do silly projects captures you again soon :( they’re so fun, best of luck <3

bi five? so, ten

ayyy twice exceptional high five, how are the unfinished projects going? it’s a strange life to be both allegedly gifted and also have a learning disability, your whole life you get told how much potential you have, but you can only reliably pull off being kinda average

but i digress, yeah that’s a fair point. i guess i assumed when they said “better brain” they meant “better brain power”. i too would like a brain that can perhaps manage to do things when i want it to do things, instead of only doing things when they become emergencies
