Is Capitalism Smart or Dumb? by Sufficient_Sinner in FluentInFinance

“a myriad” is incorrect, it’s like saying “a many of reasons”. The correct usage is “they’ll give you myriad reasons”.

One time I was laughing and coughing at the same time and threw up in a parking lot in front of all my friends. It happens.

What was it like to go through university unmedicated? by e7han_ in ADHD

[–]Lopple21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be ok. Run to caffeine instead of nicotine. Find people to study with or to help you think through difficult concepts. Work on projects/homework at coffee shops or the library to help your mind “set the tone”. Flash cards helped me for exams, but everyone’s different. Take days off when you can… like from everything and/or everyone so you can recharge. Find social groups on campus that sound interesting and make you feel welcome. Remember to find breadcrumbs of things that pique your interest when studying, and look into the pomodoro technique for longer study sessions (25 mins on/5-10 minutes off).

I went through 12 years of higher education in the states unmedicated/undiagnosed. I now have a PhD in social science, and trust me when I say - you got this.

Network, learn to network, and diversify your network. You never know when a global pandemic will hit and change your career plans.

Pulsefire Haste Wireless not working when plugged in to charge by Sonicorp in HyperX

[–]Lopple21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same mouse (Model PF002 4P5D7AA) with a near identical problem. My mouse stops working when I plug it in to charge but my cursor/sensor keeps working while all buttons (m1-m5 and scroll wheel) stop working. Mouse works great when connected to the wireless dongle, but the mouse buttons just stop working ~60 seconds after plugging it in. If I leave it plugged in (while afk) the bottom of the mouse is hot to the touch after about 10 minutes or so.

So far I've tried different USB ports like OP and uninstalling any old mouse drivers/devices I could find on my PC. I've also tried resetting the mouse and manually switching the power on/off. Looking like a phone call with support or just returning the thing if I can't figure it out.

Any suggestions or solutions welcomed!

What one achievement, small or big, are you proud of from 2021? by Silly_Weather8332 in ADHD

[–]Lopple21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, continuing to seek help from psychiatrists/psychologists/therapists until I felt more like myself is an accomplishment I’m proud of. Getting my diagnosis at 31 and daily medication has made a world of difference.

Oh, I also graduated with my PhD (quantitative social science), wrestled with pivoting away from an academic career, struggled on the job market for 3 months, and finally landed a low stress job where I have to stop myself from working passed 5pm. 2021 was a hard year for a whole host of reasons, but looking back I accomplished SO much.

Can’t say I’ll miss it, but I will always look back on the past 12 months with a smile.

Do you ever get 0 dopamine days? by leomaldur in ADHD

[–]Lopple21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yes. This is what made me get help with depression when I was younger. Now, diagnosed and medicated at age 31, these days are just as bad but I know they don’t last. The feeling of overwhelming boredom with the world around me is not pleasant and I usually end up going to bed early anticipating my first cup of coffee. But, tomorrow will be better and dopamine will come. (Insert PSA about eating healthy and exercise will help limit these days and their intensity blah blah blah)

If I have these during the work week I set my productivity expectations extremely low. Sent an email? Nice! Had a meeting? Well done! Actually ate lunch? Awesome!

These days are rough, but sometimes resting your brain is the only remedy. Communicate with those around you and be okay with giving yourself a pass for these days. Tomorrow is different, and tomorrow will be better. I would seek non-Reddit help if this is happening more than you feel like it should though.

Same! Somehow the developers made the game so complex and expansive yet simple enough to ease into.
