    Is that really a feature of ADHD?

    I mean it explains a lot I’m just surprised.

    I thought I just hated the idea of people thinking they have authority for “reasons.”

    No, officer bob, pointing the pistol at my head does not give you the authority to take my money. Just because you are threatening me with lethal force and will likely face no legal consequences, does not actually mean you have the right to demand the money I worked hard at obtaining in my hands. That’s basically school yard bullying. And before you get all bent out of shape, yes, I earned this because it’s not easy to walk out of a bank with everyone’s cash. You just stuck a gun in my face. Hope you feel good with the power trip you theiving bastard.

    I put a calendar widget, an alarm widget, and google keeps widget on my phone’s homescreen. It helps a lot when it’s the first thing I see. I also use Nova Launcher to make everything more aesthetically pleasing, which helps incentives me to use them. I also love true black backgrounds for OLED screens (one less distraction and saves battery).

      I have my calendar on my home screen and I just ignore it because now it’s just part of the scenery. The only thing that actually helps me remember things is having a smart watch with alarms because I don’t ignore the haptics on my wrist.

      Remembering to keep it charged though? That’s a whole other thing.

        I do that, too. I bought a USB power bar that sits on my nightstand, so I’m more likely to charge my devices. Do you ever get “ghost notifications”? Like, your pocket or wrist feels like it’s vibrating, and you perk up?

          Yeah I have my chargers on my nightstand and I put my phone on the charger every night no problem, but my watch and ring (I have an Oura) I want to wear at night (for the haptic alarm that doesn’t wake my partner, and sleep tracking); so a lot of nights I end up laying in bed on my phone for 30+ minutes past when I wanted to go to sleep just waiting for them to charge enough.

          Also, I used to occasionally have phantom notifications but now that I think about it I don’t think I have for a while. 🤷

        I love KISS Launcher! I remember when it first came out, I immediately made myself a pipboy using an online tutorial.

        I only stopped using it once android started enabling widget customization. Dropping it mildly increased performance on my phone, but I’m cheap, so my hardware isn’t the best.

    I was watching that ADHDVision channel on YouTube, and the whole time being like, “Wow this person is making so much sense, this is kind of mindblowing.”

    Then I got to a video where he started talking about his program to organize group video chat sessions between ADHDers to work together as accountability partners, and was like, “Wow that would be so effective… but fuck that.”

    But normies basically do everything they’re told. I mean that’s their whole reality. They don’t even have individual mind. They are embedded in the hivemind like pebbles embedded in a glacier. All of their morals, thoughts, desires … are just a product of the hivemind.

    You don’t want to be like that. That’s fucked. That’s a zombie holocaust.

    What we want is ADHD with good self-discipline. Is that oxymoronic?
