To each their own, naturally. I usually eat stuff that’s not super crunchy and I also watch with subtitles since I have difficulty processing spoken language anyway lol
Was socialized/seen as a girl growing up but got Dx’d like three different times in childhood and got prescribed meds exactly zero times because ??? They seemed to think it was just something I could “get over.” I was still expected to be the A+ overachieving student even though I openly resisted.
I think part of it may be socialization but it doesn’t always fall across gendered lines. Some folks who are quieter/more anxious/more prone to people pleasing will fall into that masking category. It also probably comes down to people who have parents with unfairly high expectations of their children.
Outside of getting meds my methods of coping are mostly paring down what my commitments are and forcing myself to give myself grace when I’m not perfect.
“Reasonable accommodations” apply to both workplace/school AND at home. What works for you also will probably change, a lot. That’s part of having ADHD unfortunately.
Refrigerated meat (namely poultry, don’t do red meat so idk) also mostly gets tossed after the one week mark but I have a weaker immune system. Although, living in the US I don’t like eating too much meat for that same reason.
Dry goods are fine unless there’s mold or bugs.
Everything else gets the sniff test, or only goes if there’s visible mold. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Microslop pulling from Steam is likely to effectively kill or close to kill their gaming division. They’ve already trained their players to be on PC with game pass and if those players want to own one of those games they’re most likely going to buy it on Steam.
Not sure another full XBox console release is going to go well for them anyhow.
I am exactly pragmatic enough to know that I am not truly pragmatic.
For personal, trivial things when I have something I like I will keep it that way until it falls apart or becomes ridiculously outmoded. I do not pretend there is logic to them.
I tend to like the simplest things for daily use objects but that’s not “pragmatism,” it’s preference. Even when something nicer is available, lol. I waited until my phone was freezing when opening a calculator AND it would no longer charge to upgrade it, even though it was likely justified a year and a half before that.
I understand where you’re coming from and that’s a valid take.
For me it’s the time period and to a degree a resulting language barrier for certain pieces. Dostoyevsky for me, (I know W&P is Tolstoy, bear with me) was understandable but hard to bear with because he wrote like loved ones I have who have serious mental struggles. A lot of Russian culture and literature is similarly toned. Ralph Waldo Emerson came across to me as self-righteous. And Tolkien, though he’s a fantastic author, writes with heavy visual description which I can’t process well due to aphantasia.
Although, I loved Frankenstein and begrudgingly, also Jane Eyre. I also got a kick out of Chaucer. Every few years I’ll re-read Little Women. I also adore learning factual information.
I think most of it comes down to a variation in personal perspective/preference AND whether you’re critically engaging with the material you’re taking in. Hell, the Barbie movie can be thoughtfully critiqued. I’ve known folks who wrote doctorates on specific video games.
I’d argue the “cooking vs. eating” would be more comparable to “reading vs. writing,” though, no? Cooking ends with material output. Maybe “eating and savoring a meal vs. mindlessly downing a bag of chips.”
Ingesting information is ingesting information. For most of human history stories were oral tradition rather than written. Accessibility is also a factor. Not everyone can physically read, nor can everyone listen to an audiobook or podcast. Both are valid options.
I’m impressed by anyone who can get through heavy, old literature without falling asleep no matter which format they choose though lol
Same reason for criminalizing homelessness; “justification” for rounding up autistic people and putting us into labor camps.
They do this anyway with immigrants, native peoples, and black USians but theyve been looking to expand that dragnet even further to all disabled people as well.
See also: targeting trans folks, putting critics in prison for 100+ years over having a box of old zines in their home. The out-group will always get bigger.

High pitched brass/string instruments
Corrugated cardboard rubbing against itself
Dull non-mechanical pencils on paper
Machine guns/explosions (war-heavy video games come to mind)
Ads. I can’t explain it but just ads, period.
That’s off top of my head but I could probably come up with 20 more lol
Adventure Time (10 seasons though). Perfect lil 10 min. episodes to accompany a meal too.
Only on milk. Learned that one the hard way.

It’s okay we still have theoretical physics
“May” but reading the article, unlikely.

Message is good but the illustration has slop vibes unfortunately
Möbius beef
However she prefers. Girlfriends do need to stay hydrated, like all members of the subclass partnerus romanticus

Usually this requires an OnlyBeans subscription
This would be welcome over in !bats@lemmy.world if you feel so inclined
Technically less steps since the corn is unprocessed
Aww this is a wholesome oldpeoplefacebook type of post more so than a shitpost lol
