gl hf. at a certain point, the distance between my mum’s level of maturity/virtue and my own growth became asymptotic; somewhere around my late teens/early 20s, aka physical/financial independence 😅
if you’re like me, it might even be the case that you eventually superseded your own mother’s “max” maturity/virtue level, and the mother/daughter roles flipped somewhat…which brings on new, exotic problems! no advice to offer at this time, but you have my sympathies!
@selentelechia@MorlockP would it be possible to anchor the shelves via the baseboards/floor, rather than the plaster itself? unsure how structurally-sound that would be, so maybe check with your husband + various agents and try to get a consensus on viability
@selentelechia the pressure cooker isn't necessary, of course -- i just find that i'm more likely to overcome 'chore inertia' if it's relatively 'hands-off'. standing over a stove and stirring is a luxury when you're trying to wrangle 3 children. that said, a casserole dish + oven will suffice.
i tend to have v spiky/stochastic executive function, so ymmv, but: instant/pressure cookers have been a godsend bc forgetful. even with prep you can cook complete meals in ~15-60 mins (throw in whatever protein you want -- [ground beef, chicken breasts] + some stock, seasonings and veg, then finish with rice/legumes/pasta)
during wartime, it is common for industrial resources to be used to support the military. for instance, dashboards that previously provided actionable insights into critical business functions will be repurposed for monitoring the situation
@KSC3971@ChristianityOn bit of a false dichotomy imo, though i see what you're gesturing at: autists are unfiltered compared to their NT counterparts, but not necessarily more likely to be the 'arbiters of truth'. plenty of cases where autists knowingly or unknowingly 'lie to themselves' and others.
similarities in the myths of atlas and sisyphus suggest they descend from a common root character, who was a more heroic hyperborean figure. an older colder bolder shoulder boulder holder
