Life's tough out here for us queers who love werewolves but hate long debunked alpha wolf pack dynamics.

@WizardTimeSpeed @privatebirb Suddenly physiological responses to misfires in neurochemistry are some how equivalent to not using a hot/cold pack

@GhostOfSocrates It's crazy how much more productive I was at my last job when my manager let me come in a half hour late and just make up the time whenever than when I changed managers and the new one removed all time based accommodations and my performance suffered so much he fired me.

@Wizpog69420 @Gzalzi And commute time estimates can be off by upwards of 15 minutes in my relatively small city. FWIW I'm usually at most 10 minutes late to things, for things I don't miss entirely the latest I've been is about 30 minutes, and if I'm awake I communicate my ETA.

@Wizpog69420 @Gzalzi Who said anything about pissing? An unexpected bathroom trip can take anywhere from 1-30 minutes because of my GI problems (another common ADHD comorbidity). Different snacks work on different days. Some days a handful of trail mix will make me vomit. These things also stack.

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@Wizpog69420 @Gzalzi As an example, sometimes standing up makes me realize I have to use the bathroom immediately or I haven't eaten anything all day and I'll be too dizzy to drive if I don't find a snack that won't upset my stomach. Lack of awareness of that kind of thing is also a symptom of ADHD.

@sapphyreblayze We've certainly got our problems with that sort of thing, but leaving a light on continuously for an entire year costs less than a dollar, including cost to eventually replace the bulb, so calling this one wasteful feels like a stretch.

@ShayWoulahan If your legs were broken and you had to walk up a flight of stairs to collect a life changing amount of money you'd probably do it. If you had to do it every day just to survive, or your friends thought you were disrespectful for not doing it for them, that's a different story.

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@Wizpog69420 @Gzalzi I wear watches. I set alarms constantly. If I can manage it every time commitment goes directly onto my calendar. These things certainly make it more consistent than if I didn't, but it's a difference between a 15% and a 10% failure rate.

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@3LandObserver @voidpires Fuck I can't believe I never thought to just time things. Just tried it and now tasks that used to take anywhere from six minutes to six hours depending on the day now always take exactly the amount of time my stopwatch said on a random Thursday. Fuck off lol

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@absolutelyXfizh @privatebirb If I was magically teleported to all of my commitments an hour ahead of schedule fully awake, showered, and presentable, I would in fact not notice that hour passing most of the time.

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@privatebirb It's amazing how being "wheelchair-bound" never makes people better at walking

@celinedionysus_ I think the real answer is because the current author is active on twitter.

@Gryffix I've never missed a flight because I clear my whole day if I'm flying, but I have very much missed exams and doctors appointments. I'm almost always late to the doctor. I was also late to my own wedding which took place literally in my front yard so like

@Mitch_Henessey6 @JanyNicole If 15 minutes of your time is worth more than a million dollars to you, you're either delusional or you should be breaking your friends off a few bands sometimes

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@_adamcurtis_ @adhd_beans @uncanny_eli @AlexAllenPoe Sometimes you're about to step out the door and suddenly have to use the bathroom. Sometimes you stand in the shower until the water starts running cold without noticing. Sometimes you realize that since you're horribly behind on laundry you don't have any clean shirts. Et cetera

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@ChairByThWindow @EedenEnne *My* friends generally know how difficult this kind of thing is for me and plan around it, and I in turn do my level best and am on time to most things where it matters. Not that hard to just be compassionate adults on either side.

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@EedenEnne I cannot fathom the mental gymnastics of saying your doing everything you can to beat Lebron James in a game of pick up basketball and still losing. Do you just not care to win? Are you incapable of sinking a few threes under pressure? It literally makes no sense to me.

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@ChairByThWindow @EedenEnne Hey fun fact there are in fact disabilities that make you do exactly that and while it's sometimes possible to willpower yourself out of that mental trap, it isn't always, and even when it is it requires significant amounts of mental energy.

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@RizoaOfficial I think you might be a) overestimating general perception on Linus's intelligence, and b) somewhat misunderstanding the purpose of this type of video. They're more about demonstrating what compromising on non-performance factors actually gets you price/performance-wise

[NF Julien @ManictheNobody]

@TheGreatGug @TheFloppestra @Absurdum14 @ShayWoulahan I don't know about you but I live in a world where leaving my house requires me to prepare, which takes a variable amount of time, and leaving my job just requires getting up and walking to my car, so there's an asymmetry here about what "abiding by" an alarm means.
