    There was an early 2000s meme of unknown provenance where people would dispute the authenticity of images by saying “This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.” And I’m not saying we should revive this for the deepfake boom, but what I am saying is that as lengthy debates about image authenticity come back in style, the keys to the kingdom await whoever can express skepticism in the dumbest-sounding way

    The video has audio, noises that – in some pattern I haven’t yet figured out – match the impacts of the circles; it adds to the experience, but isn’t necessary, if you don’t want to turn the volume on.

    I see a lot of people joking about the adhd thing of “I have a appointment/phone call at 3pm, guess I won’t do anything all day!”

    But no one seems to make the connection that it’s a time blindness thing. One of the symptoms of ADHD is not having a good and accurate sense of time. And not doing stuff prior to an event with a hard deadline is an obvious coping mechanism for that.

    Can I go to the store? It’s 10am and the appointment is at 3pm. How long does going to the store take? An hour? Three hours? Five hours? I DON’T KNOW!

    I get anxious trying to do things before appointments because I’m aware that I don’t know how long those things take, and that if I think I do, I may be very wrong. Too often I’ve been like “hey I can walk to the corner store and grab a drink, that’ll take like 15 minutes!” and then an hour later I get back and whoops my rice has burnt.

    Plus there’s also the fact that ADHD people know that motivation and focus is a two-edged sword.

    Like, let’s say you decide to play a video game. You’ve got time, you can pause/save whenever, so this should be a perfect fit to make good use of your waiting-time. So you start playing and WHOOPS you get really focused for some reason today (because people with ADHD do not get to pick when their brain decides to focus) and the next time you look at the clock it’s 2:49 and you haven’t showered or dressed and the appointment is 30 minutes away. Fuck. (you could have set an alarm, but now you’re asking people with the forgetting-things-and-time-ignoring condition to remember it set alarms)

    And with motivation, it can be almost worse. Instead of playing a game, you so something useful or creative. You clean your room or fix your plumbing or write a story or draw a picture. And suddenly it’s great. Your brain is firing on all cylinders. You’ve got all the motivation you can ask for, and you are FLYING. the ideas are brilliant, your hands are nimble, you’re getting stuff done you’ve been putting off for weeks or months. And then the alarm goes off. Time to go to your appointment. Fuck.

    You drive there, your brain still full of ideas and plans. But by the time you get back, the motivation is gone. You may still have the ideas but you don’t have the drive to write them down. You can’t force yourself to do it. Your sink is still in pieces. Your room is half-cleaned, and you have to shove all the sorted clothes into one big bin just so you have somewhere to sleep. You’ve left things half finished again, in a cycle that has been repeating your whole fucking life. It seems sometimes that nothing ever gets finished.

    So next time you don’t even start. There’s not time. You’ve been burnt too many times. Why add another half-completed project to your pile of shame?

    My point is that people seem to be going “lol I can’t do anything all day if I have an appointment at 3pm” like this is a quirky “oh I’m so scatterbrained!” weirdness they alone have, and not a major complication of a disabling mental illness.

    (and that’s not even getting into the secondary effects. If you know that having an appointment ruins your whole damn day, you’re going to avoid them. Even when it’s things like “going to that party” or “meeting your friends for a drink/game” or “going to a movie with that cute girl from your math class”. Things you should enjoy. Things that’d help you be social. Things that make you feel human.)

    I love driving at the exact speed limit and having speeders behind me get frustrated. i will get to my destination when I get to my destination and so will you. im teaching you patience right now. you should be listening & learning.

    You’re making me late

    leave earlier ♥️

    I used to ride my bike extensively in a smallish city without bike lanes, and I had a bumper sticker on the cargo box of my bicycle, visible to anyone behind me, that said RELAX, YOU’LL GET THERE.

    I do not feel the automobilists I encountered appreciated my bumper sticker sufficiently.

    every horror writer in history wanted what the 19th floor subplot in the Wayside School books had

    image

    Also the gentlemen with the black attaché case who offer you the choice between being safe or being free and the dead rats who live in the basement.

    I have no idea what Wayside School is

    It’s a trilogy of absurdist children’s novels published by Louis Sachar (the author of Holes) about a school that was supposed to be one storey with thirty rooms but is actually thirty storeys with a room on each floor because the builders were holding the plans sideways (and apparently this is how architecture works). Each book consists of a series of thirty loosely interrelated short stories about the students on the thirtieth floor, and there are a bunch of weird anomalous things that become running gags throughout the novels and, actually, now that I think about it, I can definitely see how Night Vale would have been inspired by this

    Calvin’s parents decide to take a Hawai'ian vacation. They’re not sure how much of it their son will tolerate but they would like to do at least a few things that involve sandy beaches and scenic cycling routes. They are therefore pleased when Calvin seems to make friends with a local girl about his own age and the two of them run off to play

    Now, from Calvin’s point of view what has happened is that he spotted actual aliens, and starts trying to bring this to the attention if the adults. But the tourists are like, “that’s nice, go shoot ‘em with your water gun, have a good time,” and the locals are like, “yeah, they’re an older couple who decided to retire here. Happens all the time.” Eventually, it becomes clear that Spaceman Spiff is going to have to handle it himself.

    From Lilo’s point of view, Jumba and Pleakley are her gay uncles, do you mind? Calvin does mind, and so the two of them spend the rest of the afternoon terrorizing Kaua'i in the effort to destroy one another while the aliens alternate between bailing them out of trouble and attempting to escape.

    Hobbes and Stitch, meanwhile, are calmly playing checkers and drinking non-alcoholic margaritas.
