    tbh I am always disappointed when this conversation comes up in these spaces. I feel entirely left out and invalidated. It’s difficult for me to avoid the assumption that many of the people taking the opposing position here are self-dX. Like how mild are your symptoms that they go away when people are nicer to you and lower their expectations of you?

    ADHD fucking sucks. I don’t mean the way people treat me sucks. I mean ADHD sucks. It is a roadblock that prevents me from accomplishing goals that I set for myself, even if I take a week off work to do it. Even if the goals are just for fun. I want to be able to focus on programming. I want to be able to focus on writing. I want better executive function. I want to be able to consistently make better choices. I do not want to be cared for. I am an independent person and I always have been. Living in a multigenerational household where my grandma does my laundry and I cook on odd numbered days when I feel like it or whatever will not change the way my brain works. It also just sounds like a nightmare.








  • Hosts flat seat -> server workflow gets frontloaded -> servers spend all their time greeting and grabbing drinks/setups instead of prebussing -> bussers have to do more work to get a table guest ready -> hosts start to panic as the lobby fills up -> hosts yell at bussers to teleport around the restaurant as soon as a guest so much as thinks about the check -> repeat

    All of this just barely works until someone drops a glass in the ice, or we get behind on a starter, or a piece of equipment breaks, or literally anything goes wrong. And that’s just front of house, when you factor in the drama that can happen back of house when we’re understaffed and FOH demands too much too quickly it’s a miracle that there aren’t mass walkouts.

    I live in the death spiral. I have a different seat but we’re all on the same damn ride.

    I really envy you people who would thrive in a different world. Since I stopped taking meds I have found it utterly impossible to maintain good habits and my life has more or less stagnated. I don’t think socialism is gonna fix my brain you guys. Except by, you know, making Vyvanse not cost 800 fucking dollars.


  • The 2% refers to the amount of fat in the milk. Whole milk is usually something like 3-4%. So 2% milk actually is the “other 98% of the milk” since they skimmed half the fat off. Milkfat is actually not bad for you either*, vitamin d is fat-soluble and taking the extra milkfat out can make it harder for you body to absorb it.

    Fat is also flavor, and when it comes to something like yogurt you have to put something else in so it won’t taste like shit. That something is usually sugar. For the same flavor yogurt its usually at least double the amount in the fat free variety. And it still tastes like shit if you ask me.

    *the dose is the poison, if you eat nothing but cheese you will die of congestive heart failure


    IME customers fucking hate it when you infodump on them when they ask questions like this


  • You just reminded me of my short bastard super from one of my old jobs. They put me on the prep deck to get all the wash process water off the parts with compressed air before they go into the paint booth. One day they bump the line up to something like 14 feet per minute and tell me that I should stop the line if I need more time for quality reasons. So I stop the line because water is still seeping out. Fucking Mike whips in there with his private forklift and goes “hey why the fucks the line stopped” and hits the go button. A couple back and forths at shift meetings and I give up, because they’ve got me working 5 or 6 10s and I have lost the ability to give a damn. So now the paint is fouling on every fourth part, and when the facility manager comes round bitching about our reworks guess who gets thrown under the bus?

    God I hate manufacturing
