Looks at the state of the world.
You sure about that?

Not if it’s not more fun than a 12ga slug. Not even meaning this in a depression way, I’ll keep working for and looking towards a better future. But when shit really hits the fan I’m not going to be starving to death in a ditch because of environmental collapse or becoming an actual slave to a facist regime. The way I see it, there’s worse things than a quick death.
ever see “comic book confidential”?

“if you are going down in flames, hit something big.”
lol 30. Hitting 41 and still don’t get it. But 42 will show me the meaning of life and everything.
Incorrect. I just hit 43, and there’s no meaning of life, the universe, or anything.
The cake is a lie.
Though I do get the joke, the meaning of life is what you make of it. If you expect it to reveal itself to you at one point, you’ll be disappointed.
The meaning of life is what you make of it, if you are able. Pretty big caveat.
The more that I read about ADHD, the more I think that I should get checked out for it.
Yeah, I fucking wish I was only 30.
Is there anything you wish you did when you were 30?
Buy bitcoin.
Dude, I knew so early about it, people were just giving them away. I thought it was a scam, still do but I could have been the beneficiary of the scam instead of just a passive observer.
same. i had a friend that was going to pay me 2 bitcoins to drive him 20 minutes to check out a car and then back if he didn’t buy it. i decided that i would just do it for free because we were friends and i didn’t want to figure out the wallet stuff. woops.
My former doctor: “Ya. You probably have ADHD but you’re fine. You’ve learned to cope with it.”
Me: Drinking half a bottle of Jim Beam every night to “cope”.
Side note: nice seeing you around again Stamets. The meme quality was suffering in your absence.
Heard that before. “Learned to cope” does not mean “Is coping healthily” you asshats.
And thanks buddy <3
Narrator: they were not fine
yep, but ADHD is not a disability. Right? Everyone is sometimes unorganized or slacks around for a day…
/s just to be extra sure.
✨✨ It’s a super power! ✨✨
<sound of loading shotgun>
There’s a part I need to install in my car. The box has been sitting right next to the front door for two weeks…I’ll knock it out over the weekend I promise
(Narrator: He will in fact most likely watch hockey and drink beer on the couch)
This feels personal because I’m literally in the exact situation. Lmao
Me too, except I think it’s been about a year now and the box slid off the back of my desk.
Like when you set some important object down in a random spot and genuinely believe you’ll remember where it is when you need it again, in spite of this never working ever.
edit: for reference, seconds after posting this I looked to the left and noticed the lovely piece of pie I brought in here with my tea about a half hour ago. I’ve almost finished my tea.
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve gone looking in a closet for something to work on project #7 and found the missing piece to project #4 I put right there to remember…I would promptly lose the change jar for a year or so
Bought an insulated mug for my tea this year, game changer.
30 seems like only yesterday
Suddenly realize as a 24 year old i might be really young for lemmy. Every one is above 30s lol
Edit: and most seem to be ADHD, questioning what am i doing here.

25 also
Being ADHD and getting closer to our age
I enjoy Lemmy because there’s always interesting comments to read. I bet it wouldn’t be the case if we were all the same age. And… that’s why I think I fit in here for the most part: because many lemmings are like me and enjoy this small but engaged community.
The best part is being 53 and still totally believing it every single day. I’m going to absolutely crush tomorrow!!!
Haha. High five (10 times and then high three). 1971 babies unite! (…tomorrow).
I’m gonna do my meditation via the monroe institute tapes… starting… uhhh… in five minutes
Sometimes I have bursts of this in the middle of the night.
35 and still have these walls between me and the simplest tasks. No idea if it’s ADHD, but somehow I manage to get through.

Me too. Son’s dyslexic and I’m noticing a lot of ADHD traits in him. And it all reminds me a lot of how I was and it just explains a lot of the things in my life. Just got to get around to finding a therapist for him and me…
Erm, embarrassingly older.
Nah, I think this is a no embarrassment zone. Get cozy.
