Vector pinball, lol

It’s great for killing 10 minutes at a time

I fully agree.

I bought like a $400-600 Costco mattress because one of my friends has one that’s super comfy. But it’s only been two ish years and I’m ready for something new.

To be fair, i think I did get my money’s worth.

This was gonna be my answer too. That one was tough

I guess it really earns that murderhorse

No way!? That’s insane. Wow. Wow. Thanks for this fact

Princess Mononoke might be a little dark for an earlier age. There’s some really brutal scenes in it.

Of course that didn’t stop it from being my favorite from age 8 onward, but still.

Oh the stories I could tell about my childhood dog, Grace. She was the most ungraceful dog to have ever lived.

When she was still fairly young, she got into some pill bottle somehow, ate all the pills, and then went on a drug induced bender where she proceeded to chew through the entire cushion of our couch. The kicker is that there was a phone sitting there and she managed to step on it just right and leave a 20 minute voicemail of her going to town.

We were poor so we kept that couch and just stuffed a blanket in the giant hole she made. It was hilarious at the time, but in retrospect, it was appallingly bad. I don’t remember if my parents took her to the vet or anything, but she was fine and grew up just fine otherwise.

Whenever I can find it- Centipede. Especially if it’s in a cabinet with the trackball.

Otherwise I play Donkey Kong Country a fair amount. Or Super Mario World. SNES games are my jam

Are you able to smell ants? I have a friend who can track them down in their house and they have a hard time with odors too

Hey hey, same on a few of these.

Saline tastes like rubber bands smell, in my opinion.

My friends have called me sensitive to everything. Apparently most people don’t love walking through neighborhoods just to smell other people doing laundry? Hahahaha. I love it.

I’ve wanted some really excellent headphones for a while now, but it’s haven’t yet been at a place/time where I can pull the trigger. It will definitely happen one day

Wah! Yep. My bad, hahaha. Brain toot

Lmao. Yeahhhh, I always get a crick in my neck because I try to watch all the work they’re doing. It’s fascinating

I hear bats, absolutely. I can hear electronics as well, and some are just so frustrating. I’ve never heard a dog whistle, as in I’ve literally never seen one in person, but there’s a house near to me that has a warning thing when someone approaches their yard, probably to ward off dogs? But my god, it’s loud and high. I try to avoid that route at all costs.

I have a heart condition that I get an ECG (electro cardiogram) done for every 6 months or so. It’s just an ultrasound on your heart. They always take mine from a bunch of different angles and a bunch of different types of pictures.

But I was recently in the hospital and told the technician that their machine was loud. She looked baffled. I told her I can hear the ultrasound and hers is the loudest I’ve encountered. Apparently I’m the only person she’s ever done work on (or however to say that) that’s been able to hear it.

So I guess that is my super power. Or I’m just autistic, as apparently many autists can hear very high pitched noises.

But the ultrasound is pretty cool. The frequencies and the pitch will change depending on what photo mode they’re in. Like a doppler mode is all pewpewpewpewpew while the normal mode is all eeeeeeeeeeeee. Lol. It’s hard to explain.

If you have an instant pot or something similar, pressure cooking eggs using a 5-5-5 method is also super great.

Put the eggs in a steamer tray or little rack- as long as they’re not touching the bottom. Pour in a cup of water, then seal the lid and make sure it’s not set to venting. Set it to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes (I do 4, actually because I like it a little jammy in the yolk).

It takes ~5 min for the pressure to come up, 5 min cook time, then you give 5 min for the pressure to naturally come down before venting and taking eggs out to put in cool water.

I’ve personally never used an ice bath and my eggs come out gorgeous every time.

So many keyboard shortcuts.

Tab, end, shift+home, del

I delete things en masse that I don’t mean to, just out of habit.

Both of my parents had difficult upbringings that both of them need some serious therapy for. I don’t really know any details, but a little bit ago my mom got a random call from an investigator in southern California. They had either caught some guy or were trying to catch some guy that killed a string of young girls some 30 years ago. All I know is that after talking more thoroughly with the investigator, she was sobbing - and my mother is a very hard woman. She had a run in with this guy and my guess is that there was something very traumatic involving an SA. But I don’t know and I don’t want to know because I don’t have the oomph to carry that weight with her unless she goes to therapy.

I know some other stories from either of them and it rings true that hurt people hurt people. But I don’t want to know more about any of the hard times nor the party times because it’s too much for me to bear.

I’ve been at my current job for four years now. For three years I enjoyed it, but then came a new process. I want to quit but the circumstances aren’t right right now. I just can’t stand this newer process, it’s just mind bogglingly bad. And every part of it is like the exact antithesis of what I can accomplish easily with my ADHD. Not that I’m hiding behind my diagnosis, but it just feels like every step of every single thing I have to do is in direct contrast to things I have the ability and executive function for. I want to scream.

I don’t know if there is active prevention, but I’m about to ask my boss to have a meeting to tell her that I am falling way behind because of this switch up. Basically cry for help - but really rather than help,I hope I can just fill a vacancy that deals with our legacy records and data, where my mind works.
