That's not going to be enough. And please stockpile some at other secure locations.

Not for me either, just a photo.

*The current US Administration....

I am also the US, as is my spouse, my neighbors, and my goofy artist father, amongst many others.

E pluribus unem

I do not support the core of the current administration. There are however plenty of good folks in office too--nationally and more locally, depending on the area.

The world is not so black & white.

So, who profits from this?

Get to know her, she's pretty awesome.

Also--there's always more--if you live with somebody and they say you need to clean up a mess, right then is the time to do it. Unless you are making food at that moment or are in the middle of something really important, like tending to a wound, or putting out a fire.

At that moment your companion is being your reminder, so make use of that opportunity!

You can also create that opportunity by asking somebody in your life who is good at managing things to come over occasionally and help guide you. Not do it for you. Just look over a space and give you direction, then hang out and keep you company.

Have a few drinks or buy them dinner after.

A lot of folk are embarrassed by their messes, but as long as you're not inviting a nagging judgemental nasty mother-in-law type over, I think you'll be suprised how understanding your friends and family can be when you admit you know your ADHD is holding you back but step-up and ask for direction occasionally with cleaning.

Get guidance per problem, apply solutions when able, don't beat yourself up when you slip up, that's going to happen, just re-apply the solution when you realize your slacking at that thing again.

To-do lists and guides and reminders are really the best, but still most will fall out of the habit and have to dig back in periodically.

Reminders get skipped, distractions will happen. It's okay. That's normal for you (and most people actually). But keep the reminders and guides and lists anyway, everytime you encounter them there's another opportunity to accomplish something.

If you realize you've slacked off cleaning, for example, and you have a detailed checklist for deep cleaning each room, you can right then grab the list off the clipboard on your wall and start working through as much as you can before you get distracted or have to sleep or whatever.

If it's all broken out onto little things it'll be less daughting, just hyper focus on that one thing until it's done, if possible. Then move onto the next if you have time still.

Don't kick yourself if you get sidetracked and clean up some clothes in your bedroom after picking up a sweater from the living room, instead of finishing in the living room, as long as you're still plugging away at cleaning some you are doing fine.

And you don't have to do everything all right now.

There's probably too much to do for that to be a reasonable expectation anyway.

And there's no right order, except if you notice you don't have any clean clothes or dishes or TP or food at the moment, then probably prioritize addressing those things first.

You can buy cleaning and chore checklist online. And there are daily journals designed for peeps with ADHD that have spaces for a few check list items, spaces to log positive reflections, chore or cleaning suggestions.

You can go through them in advance and add occasional reminders for tasks you know you forget. Or you can try filling out a couple things for tomorrow before bed today. Try different things. And whatever works best for you, or works at the moment, that is great. 

If you use any of this, remember it doesn't have to be every day. Just keep the tool accessible, mount them on the wall or dedicate a space where they are less likely to get burried, use them as much as you can, and forgive yourself for missing days or taking breaks, or misplacing them.

That stuff happens. It is okay.

I'm jealous of all y'all who know why you got bans.

I've gotten warning and temp bans, but they never specify why. They never include the content. Just saying promoting this or that is very unclear, like how, when, where? Did I actually?

I always just ignore them and carry on on alts for a while.

Their shit is so stupid. But there's a lot of useful content on Reddit. I still hit up old house and DIY type groups, cause I own an old house, and specific tech groups because of the tech I use, but I don't miss the rest.

If I ran for any office I would literally accept all donations, and not concern myself at all with where any of it came from. I'd have no private meetings or dinners with donors, spend no time talking to lobbyists.

I'd just treat every dollar the same and focus on what it's being used for.

It doesn't seem logical not to take your oppositions money if they are going to give it freely. That's their mistake to make.

Even for an accidental discharge?

I'd be interested to know if that's true.

I've seen plenty of both misandry and misogyny.

I've only seen misandry so far on this thread.

It would be pretty upsetting if who saw what was deliberate in order to manipulate the viewers.
