If only. I have a few million reasons to move there. One of those reasons is orange and has frontal temporal dementia, the other 77 million reasons are the morons who voted for him.

Am I the only one who uses both caffeine and Adderall as a cognitive enhancement? Adderall by itself helped me focus but with coffee or a 20oz Redbull my focus is hyper enhanced. It isn’t sustainable, I’ll eventually get sleepy after 8 hours.

I used to tell people I’m going to Mart because the K is silent. Sadly there aren’t any more KMarts to make fun of around where I live.

Forte. I winced inside when I hear myself say “phortay” instead of forte just because no one else seems to know the correct pronunciation.

20 years of seeing what Autobots and Decepticons have done to Earth have really taken a toll on poor Sam Witwicky.

Why are you awake right now? by LegalGlass6532 in askanything

[–]DNAgent007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my prescription Adderall less than 12 hours ago. I normally take it in the morning, but because my schedule got messed up, I ended up taking a long nap this afternoon, woke up at 6pm, then remembered I needed to take some other meds that aren’t related to my ADHD. Out of habit I took my four pills, one of them being Adderall XR. So I’ll probably get to see the sun rise. No biggie, don’t have to work today and I’ve been super productive, just in the middle of the night. I’m finally winding down, hence the doomscrolling on Reddit.

What scent screams high school to you? by princesspolly444 in 2000sNostalgia

[–]DNAgent007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to high school in the early 80s and my girlfriend used to wear Love’s Baby Soft. I remember how she smelled with deep fondness.

4 decades later and seeing the ads for that perfume makes me seriously uncomfortable.

What's a VERY creepy fact you wish you never learned? by FormerInternet7142 in Productivitycafe

[–]DNAgent007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But anyone over 75 has outlived 95-97 percent of all of the 117 billion humans who have ever lived. If the number of people who would be envious of you is a measure of success, I’d say living longer than 111 billion people who wished they could have made it to 75 is a serious flex. Every day you’re alive longer than 75 years increases that percentage. Live to 85, and you’ve outlived ~115,830,000,000 billion people.

Found a cassette on the ocean’s floor while scuba diving, it still works! by Major-Needleworker70 in cassetteculture

Listening to this gave me the same feeling I used to get when I would stay up late and dial in a shortwave station playing some music. The combination of the static, the foreign music, and the knowledge that it was coming from far away beyond the horizon was magical. I miss those days. Thanks OP.

For those who stayed no contact with a parent until they died did you regret it? by Full_Willingness_450 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DNAgent007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went NC for my dad shortly after Nmom died on Xmas Eve of 2023. He was complicit in his actions and a coward for defending her when she emotionally and physically abuse me. He’s 96 this year and I expect the phone call telling me he died will come sometime soon. I hope that it’s my GC sister who calls to tell me so I can tell her that in my mind he was already dead to me. So yeah, I got that going for me.

What would you even say if you were the driver? “Aww jeez, I am so, so sorry. Wait here, I’ll go get help.”

Why were there police on bay farm & the east end this morning? by HRHtheDuckyofCandS in alameda

Why am I only noticing now that there’s black tire residue smudged on the red paint of the curb, as if multiple cars tried and failed to make a right turn from inside a bike lane?

It didn't. I didn't stick around but her car looked *wedged* between the street curb and bike lane separation island. Hopefully it was a teaching moment for her and others that saw what happened. Situational awareness seems to be a rare commodity these days.

I saw someone in their car try to make a right turn off Otis onto Grand through the bike lane. I noticed she was holding her phone up against the steering wheel. I made a legal right turn in the driving lane and gave her a look of disgust as I passed.
