nostr:npub18wycf9txusvwsgqr2lw0p5wvyetnny3tdw2sclgsxy8du8vru9eqqafs8q yeah, i suppose i've learned some lessons. but i also know i wasn't listening while i was in the middle of it.

i'm finding myself in the weird situation of being someone who's trying to control his drinking, and now i'm kind of worried for someone else who drinks a lot.

i'm trying but the bastards won't pay up

will be using my usual trick for preparing frozen pizza without a proper oven today: slice it up, give it a crust on low heat in the frying pan and then throw it in the air fryer to bake the toppings.

nostr:npub1ral5m0tkm8ddg7ck7hcwsm8epprv473ejrrt6vhnyz7pst4yc49s0lh708 i'd gladly have as a job to fix such items and sell them, but not unless people came to me with them.

in today's mental wellness landscape there are a lot of good methods you can use but what is lacking is structure. a lot of these things need to turn into habits. usually, when we humans try to install such habits in many people, we invent a religion for it. the one that aligns the closest with our modern understanding of psychology is buddhism, particularly the Zen school.

now i'm seriously considering to get a hookah. not for drugs. but because it helps you practice deep breathing. your lungs take care of the drugs part through endorphins. much of the relaxing effect you get from having a smoke is just the breathing technique you're using. nicotine itself is a stimulant, not a relaxant.

you can tell a weed smoker how to make his body produce natural cannabis (endocannabinoids such as anandamide) using his lungs and he won't listen

gotta love how most people will dismiss a business idea because it's too niche, when it's precisely such niches that you're most likely to succeed in as a small fish in a big world.

nostr:npub1jhuk93p4cj9lwyx58pjxc8dt568drym2djyy2qhx0u8dawlskl7s2fxhwd starting a store that sells old computer parts would also be fun but i'm not sure there is even a market for it, i suspect our cities are too small

nostr:npub1jhuk93p4cj9lwyx58pjxc8dt568drym2djyy2qhx0u8dawlskl7s2fxhwd yeah, it sounds like the Norwegian ones. i want thrift shops with electronics and tools in them. like a home improvement thrift shop. Clas Ohlson but everything is second hand.

nostr:npub1uc6tx7ur9wfj7v2vydrdgyw53l6p53g0dd9m7q5d52rsrgg0zlzsw3kd4h i find that i'm highly extroverted when i'm in a room i feel i can relax in and where i already know a few people. in a room full of strangers, i'm extremely shy.

nostr:npub1uc6tx7ur9wfj7v2vydrdgyw53l6p53g0dd9m7q5d52rsrgg0zlzsw3kd4h there are a lot of facets to this, i think, and it depends...

i was slow to develop social skills. i had a desire to socialise, but was clumsy about it, often being mocked and bullied by NTs in school.

i also score high on the Neuroticism trait on the Big Five personality scale. the Neuroticism scale is sometimes flipped upside down and relabeled Emotional Stability. being that kind of person makes you vulnerable around people, so there's this inner conflict between wanting to socialise and not wanting to get hurt or humiliated all the time, not helped by foolish decisions you sometimes make when you have ADHD.

so much good stuff is thrown away that waste disposal companies are now setting up thrift stores

buying and selling things on the second hand market is always a hassle, so people just throw stuff away instead. it's crazy.

i technically have both ADHD and ASD as diagnoses but the ASD part doesn't come on as strong and i only see myself a little in the stuff that autistic people talk about. it's more subtle stuff. and in many if not most of the cases when i exhibit some kind of autistic trait, it always overlaps with ADHD traits. "mild autism as a subset of ADHD" almost.
