Thanks for your obviously well meaning reply but my brain has always worked this way. For decades... I play incremental online games half a dozen at the same time and watch news feeds that way too. Even before the web was born I would gather multiple tv's and have them play a whole array of programs simultaneously. I cannot watch movies in the cinema and I fast forward through everything I watch. I also watch almost any YouTube video at 2x speed. Not being able to flip between multiple sources constantly is a real and genuine struggle. I asked this question simultaneously to ChatGPT, by the way, and it agreed with you about RSS Feed readers 🙂

Can't math so would do it entirely visually and I would get it wrong but feel happy that I'd picked a number (in this case 215) and been able to move on 🤣
"Ukraine's Zelenskyy"? Phew I'm so glad they specified the country. I thought they were talking about my local postman for a minute. What's old Barnaby Zelenskyy done now, I wondered.
It's a toss up between Hardspace: Shipbreaker, My time At Portia and Just Cause 3 for me. Three very different games. Floaty slicey boom, cute engineer mining and grapple fly shooty basically 🤣
Also very much in an "addiction phase" for the demo of G-Rebels which sadly goes away on Sunday 😥
He is not a merry man!
Two words that have no relevance to that headline but are just there for clicks: "China" and "Ukraine".
The headline is probably more like "Over sensitive flower at a University over reacts when one of two people who shboinked brags a little too much about it".
Oh oh I've got an actual potentially brilliant solution for you! 😁
It's called an Infinity Cube. I've bought like 20 of them and given most of them away (I have 2 now lol). They're not expensive but they have made a huge difference for me in being able to listen to people, period. I also use it for all the meetings I go to and in fact now I really notice what a struggle I go through if I forget to bring one.
The one I linked is made of smooth black, rigid, silky material and has a perfect weight to it. It's also very quiet so people won't notice you're cycling it. I say cycle because that's kind of what it does in a sort of infinite loop and I think that's why it's so perfect for the brain squirrels.
The other interesting thing I've noticed about it is that people more towards the AuDHD end of the spectrum don't vibe with it at all. Letting someone I'm talking to play with it has almost become a way to stealthily test if they are my flavour of ADHD hehe
Historically, once a popular movement had taken to the streets in large numbers, a dictatorship's only move used to be ultra-violence. Now, in a hyper-connected world they have to do a much more detailed cost/benefit analysis. So, the pride march was in defiance of the governments wish not wishing for a different government. Basically, this didn't rise to the level of an existential crisis for the leadership so they are pulling back and using PR to deal with the image issue. The real cost for them, I suspect, is that now there's precedent, so the next pride march may have an easier time. Let's hope so 🌈
When I read this I wondered if this disgusting man did what he did because of his Muslim beliefs so I looked up the connection between honour killings and Islam. Turns out it has very little to do with Islam and a lot to do with just being a horrible, poorly educated human being. What I found out was that people be killin their wives and daughters for what they perceived as dishonouring them since way before Islam came along. If anything, Islam tried apply some brakes on that whole idea. For example demanding that four male eyewitnesses had to actually have seen the act for it to be recognised as legit. This article is quite interesting.
Edit: Sorry. I just saw this post getting re-posted in a bunch of other places. Hadn't realised it was part of an anti-islam social media push. Didn't mean to get in the way. Carry on.
Wow :) you're the only one to engage with my post and not the throwaway bit at the end when I randomly thought about dentists.
So I can easily describe to you how my behaviour became less masked using the "golden retriever" analogy. My energy has often been described by close friends as being "golden retriever" like, a bit like Dug, the dog from UP. Kinda goofy and positive and bouncy. Before I knew about ADHD I used to keep that fairly hidden except to friends. Now that I know why I behave like that I can be a lot more me, a lot more of the time. I'm a much happier person for it too.
My leading theory at the moment is that now I feel the world understands and accepts ADHD a lot more, I'm not only dropping the masks I show the world but possibly also the unconscious masking of my behaviour from myself.
I'm still trying to understand the ins and outs of it though hence the question in here. I just wish I hadn't got distracted and added the random thought about dentists. It seems to have triggered a few people. Probably dentists 🤣
It's not that. I've always felt more comfortable when there is a lot of information in front of me (hence my original question). I love shopping in large supermarkets for example. All those packages and brands, colours and words. It literally makes me happy and I often walk around just smiling because my brain feels peaceful when there's lots happening all around me. The caveat to that is if I'm being compelled to do anything in particular with this information by anyone, like a teacher or a manager. So long as there are no bad consequences if I don't take in all the information and process it according to someone else's rules, then it's blissful. It also makes me basically unemployable, which is why I've mostly run my own businesses all my life! 🤣 Also, because of this, I didn't have a very good time at school, specially at a time when no one knew about ADHD. The habits I've described may look like addictions but they aren't. It's just the way my brain has worked for over half a century now.
