This meme is so old that I was 27 when I first read it.

ADHD. A lot of people might say depression, and ADHD gets misdiagnosed this way too, especially because people are much more familiar with the way depression manifests rather than how ADHD actually manifests beyond stereotypical hyperactivity and difficulty focusing.

What you're describing is executive dysfunction and energy regulation problems. The reason you can't stop scrolling is because your brain doesn't produce dopamine enough, and it's only used to the short bursts it can produce. This creates a feedback loop where you're stuck stimulating yourself with quick, easy dopamine hits, and that's why anything that seems like a prolonged task feels like an impossible endeavor. It's also why you'll get tunnel vision if you ever do start playing that game.

1. Turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the machine.
2. Set the machine to cold water, delicate/gentle cycle.
3. The picture you posted is of a dry, hot desert, right? What do you think a machine called a dryer that uses heat will do? Hang them to dry on a cheap rack from Amazon or your shower curtain rod instead.

I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.

Wtf that's my partner's friend! I've seen people I know on Reddit a few times before, but I didn't expect it on a less populated place like Lemmy. It's a small world.

I’m not in a theater. I’m at home. I don’t want the TV crazy loud for a number of reasons which can include the fact that I’m not a terrible neighbor, the time of day, my partner may be asleep, etc.

If I wanted to go to the theater, then I go to the theater where I have certain expectations which includes well-mixed, loud sound. That’s fine, and I will hear both things that way.

Serious question: How is this different than all the other sensationalized headlines about some technology that's gonna change everything, and then you later hear nothing about it?

I genuinely appreciate the technical breakdown. 💜

"I know this is awful, but it'll probably happen again."

I don't know, chief. Probably not the best approach.

I don't think the problem is simply that it's offensive. It's that it's not even funny.

Good thing browntiger15 explained that that was some legit fairy tale level shit right there, or I wouldn't have known from the story.

To add insult to injury, the mom was flying to her brother's funeral when, upon deboarding the plane plane, they were stopped by cops and questioned under suspicion of human trafficking. Can't imagine how rough the whole trip was for her.

The community is called c/antiquememesroadshow, so that's kinda the point there.
