When I use it, I mean ok, because that’s what it actually means. It’s simply a way to acknowledge someone was heard. I will not be changing bc others read more into it. Tis way too exhausting to consider every hidden meaning someone might have.

When will they understand, if I'm introduced to your product through an advertisement, I do not want to buy it. I will make a point not to. Do not annoy me. If your product is good enough, it will be bought.

I've learned from the Japanese phrase 'itadakimasu,' which is said before eating as a way to thank the person that prepared the food. I think in the west, a lot of us grew up learning to say things like grace before a meal, but that is too religious for me and gives God credit for peoples' hard work instead. I love the idea of ritualistically thanking the people who actually made the food. It was one of the things I appreciated while studying there that has stuck with me.

Better search. Even with modifiers, results are so chaotic and not what I’m looking for. Just the other day I was trying to find recent information and set the parameter to only results in the past month. Three separate search engines (Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing) all showed year old results first. Not to mention the bubble they put you in.

What about people with no gender and shortish hair? 🥺

On the surface, I probably look like the person you're describing, but no one knew I had an ADHD diagnosis that went ignored in childhood. No one knew how much I was masking every day. It's harder now because I have to make my own meals, clean my house, etc. All the things I didn't have to do as a kid. I got to learn, which I loved (my special interest is research) and do various activities I enjoyed, even if it was exhausting. Now, I'm stuck doing all the things I was never taught by my family, with no structure, just trying to survive. Of course it's harder than when I was a kid. Those memes help me feel valid and seen, something my family were never willing to do, but at least now I have friends that get it.

There's so much trauma that happens from neurodivergence being ignored in childhood, and that takes time to process. I spend a lot of my days crying over all the times I wasn't allowed to cry growing up, processing things in therapy, etc. I literally can't force myself to enjoy life without first having the needed tools. It's sad that I can't do what I used to, but I'm slowly getting there. Kindness and patience are what are needed most, when that's not something I was given as a child.

All this to say, you never know what's below the surface.

I would totally watch that

I've always thought it had the same energy in that they both simply acknowledge having seen the message. What's wrong with that?

This is me too, including every janky MMO I think I might remotely like. Gotta grab my character name. But Threads, haven't bothered to touch it.

The day I can play all my games on Linux and know the games i want to play will come to it, I will rejoice. I want so badly not to be stuck on Windows.

Agreed. I always look at it like this: Politics should be determining the best way to implement and expand human rights, not debate whether we should have them at all.

It’s like dentist only know how to shame. I have yet to meet one that understands self-care is hard for people with ADHD/Autism. I’m doing by best and shame makes me give up.

Well done!!

For some of us with a tendency to overapologize, learning to say thank you instead at times is helpful.

Sadly, be shocked. I got a friend through registering to vote and even offered a ride on election day this past November and she still decided to not bother "because politics are stressful to hear about."

Yep, between Reddit and Twitter, I might need to buy some more popcorn.

I'm quite happy with mine :D

This. Would I be impaired driving? Likely not. Still won’t do it, because I’m not just risking myself. That would be a risk for everyone.

The only thing keeping me from deleting it is how much I rely on the CPTSD subreddit. It’s a big part of my livelihood. Otherwise I’d have deleted every trace.

Same here! Rarely leave the house without it

Thanks! I’ll give it a look.

This has been my way. I knew it would be hard, so every time I find myself wanting to check reddit, I think of what I planned to do there and attempt to find an alternative. It's led to a lot more browsing the internet like I used to "back in the day." And then I only visit reddit if I can't find what I was looking for elsewhere. For most things, I find alternatives easily. I've mentioned in comments before, really the only things that I haven't been able to replace are the CPTSD and CPTSD memes subreddits.

I'm AuDHD. I need my keys and things in the same spot, but I also struggle to remember to actually put them there. That's the missing part of the habit for me. I have to consciously think "put them here" every time or future me will have a meltdown when they can't find what should be there.

Don't forget Myspace. I so miss that, Xanga, and AIM.

Because as long as politics is still fighting for human rights, rather than discussing the best way to implement them, it matters.

Thanks :)

This explanation really helped me make sense of it: Monty Hall Problem (best explanation) - Numberphile

So it’s not just me. Felt like I was going a bit crazy seeing that.
