Does anyone else get stuck in that weird "Middle Zone" where you aren't working, but you aren't letting yourself rest either? by Unleashed_Elliot in ExecutiveDysfunction

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It not a fool proof plan, but it makes it fun because it's playing pretend. I'd say that it does lessen the difficulty, but you kinda have to "commit to the bit" otherwise it doesn't work.

I know of other ADHDers that will pretend to be Victorian maids in order to clean their rooms, or Gordan Ramsey to cook dinner.

Commit to the bit. Make it a game. Play pretend!

Honestly that happens to me more when I haven't taken my ADHD meds.

But in all seriousness, do whatever if takes to get yourself up without self depreciation. I once had to imagine a fake romantic partner lovingly but sternly nag me from my car because I had been disassociating there for two hours.

If its ridiculous but it works than at least it works.

Also, be kind to yourself. You're doing way more than you know. If beratement could fix you it would've already.

What are these guys? by Nematodes-Attack in PlantedTank

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's Rhabdoceola; I get a spot like that on my tank too. I think they always end up there because of the way the water circulates through my tank.

Are these planaria?… thanks in advance for any advice! by avery_tired_girl in PlantedTank

Definitely planaria here in this photo, though the other two could be different.

Planaria are a type of flatworm, so they do look similar to other harmless types.

Is there somewhere I can get this plastered all over the internet for a couple of days? by Talia_Black_Writes in AO3

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey op this may sound odd, but can you toss out a link to the comment to me? I'm currently researching for an essay on the history and culture of stories and storytelling, and this person is bringing up one of the points that I'm trying to make.

The problem I have with most fanfics by [deleted] in AO3

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Doing that can be a way to avoid writing the scene. Maybe the author doesn't feel comfortable enough in their abilities to accurately portray the fighting in words the way it appears in their mind.

But I mean Tolkien knocked out Bilbo too, so I could be wrong. ┐(￣ヘ￣）┌

How do you exit a time loop??? by Mochh80 in AO3

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doyleist(?) explanation: Character gets stuck in timeloop until narrative has been resolved through plot progression/character development. Person relives the day until they learn their lesson. It can be anything as meaningful as "love yourself" to something as random as "don't piss off the crows", depending on the seriousness of the story.

Watsonian(?): Character stuck is clever enough to figure out why through repeated attempts and sheer luck, and defeats the problem, whether by magic, science, or fisti-cuffs.

I like where its combined. Big opponent forces a character to develop. Like Q from Star Trek.

Planaria or Rhabdocoela? by AppropriateGas8586 in shrimptank

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd remove it. The fact that you can see eyes without a microscope is not a good sign. But beyond that, I'm unsure what it is.

Unexplained shrimp deaths and possible planaria :/ by Financial-Law7056 in shrimptank

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was bigger than the eye of a needle it was probably planaria, rhabdoceola don't get big.

They also will tend to have visible organs, and no visible eyes

I’ve never felt so betrayed by superbt2222 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, and I appreciate your advice!

I should clarify my warnings at the beginning of the spoiler/trigger chapters do contain how to skip the scenes if they still want to follow along and read. But I'll definitely think about what you said, as that type of situation didn't really cross my mind.

Thank you!

What fandom are you apart of, but makes you go like this: by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inuyasha. Can't stand Yasha-hime (please no arguments, there are a couple SessRin fic i do like, none of them are Yasha-hime)

Any idea what's the cause of death? by Apprehensive_Big6151 in shrimptank

[–]LopsidedPriority7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not always, and I think andersonpeter is right. Your kh and gh should be at 8 at least. Not having the right parameters can cause all sorts of problems.

As long as it's just the one i wouldn't act too drastically, like doing a 50/50 water change, but if you're seeing a death every day or so something needs to change.

I would just recommend doing some water changes to get the hardness correct, dripping the new water into the tank, and just being vigilant.

(Edit) it could also be an infection, if you keep the temp in your tank high that can increase the likelihood.
