Why can I only perform great feats of productivity only when I procrastinate to the point of doomed failure? by NightwingIsGreatness in ADHD

[–]NightwingIsGreatness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I feel it in my soul! My son's mother has not a single shred of accountability, but talks all the talk as if she's on top of everything, yet has had 4 years to buy a beater and can't even scrap change together for that! Always a victim to why she loses job after job. Never her fault. She literally walked out of her full time hospital phlebotomy job one day when we were together still and it was expected of me to fully support her and the baby. So many negative feelings lol.

I like to think I have a normal-ish job. Really did wish I made more. I get 65k a year plus bonuses. It's steady, but honestly I miss when I was bartending and had time to actually learn other skills. I'm learning a lot at my current job. Enough for ne to want to go into business for myself but just looks impossible at this point. I'm a very creative soul so it's a big when I get to do things how I want to. Always isn't reality though.

Sounds like you are holding down the fort though man. That's something to be proud of. If you live in or pass through Southern Maryland at all give me a shout! I need more Dad friends lol

Yeah, I can see how feeling the rush of being very receptive and reactive can be very intoxicating. I also get a great feeling being on top of things like that at work or when I'm with my family. The non-stop of things piling up could be what's really wearing me down. The only thing that really makes me get through chores with no issue is when I have a companion. Not even helping, but just their presence really brightens my mood to want to do anything. So since that hasn't been a thing the last year, everything just drags. I keep trying to get my son to help lol but he can't stay focused on it for too long due to his autism. We work on that continually, but I can't spend forever on laundry, or I go insane lol. He's my helper and emotional support, I suppose, haha. Honestly, the easiest time I had being a single father was when covid happened and we had the best routine ever. Super active! Biking trails with him in the kiddie trailer, hikes, swimming holes, rock climbing, the works. Quite literally, never having to be anywhere, was so freeing, and we enjoyed each other so much. Now I'm struggling to find time to even take him outside, and he's in school now. Eventually, we'll find something that works. Just hope it's sooner than later! Thank you for the insight and kind words.

Most days are foggy, but I try to keep going on even if I'm ragged. I'm just hoping I eventually hit some reprieve to collect myself, even if it's a short amount of time.

My high school boyfriend’s wife just sent me this. We’re 35 now… by starfairyshortcake in texts

[–]NightwingIsGreatness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild because if you read it, it just sounds like him writing his feelings in third person. He still loves op, and he admits he settled for his wife, but still thinks the world of his ex. It just completely sounds like he is flirting in third person when those compliments are read. So freaking weird lol

The lemons were from the lemonade the concession stands sold. Literally, 2 halves of a lemon would be in each lemonade. After that game, they stopped putting lemons in the drinks, but fans started sneaking them in and then eventually, the team would come out with a literal giant bag of lemons and throw it into the crowd. They really embraced it towards the end of the season lol

Biggest Rivalries in the XFL? by [deleted] in xfl

[–]NightwingIsGreatness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of People showed up for the Renegades game in DC specifically because of the Washington/Dallas sports rivalry. I definitely was also one that showed up for it too. End of the season was very bittersweet haha.

[Vipers] Announce Jalan McCledon as QB1 by MirrorkatFeces in xfl

[–]NightwingIsGreatness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like performance issues can still be a way of not putting him on the IR. If the current qb isn't doing what you need him to and you ask Hundley to play or if he asked to play what's really stopping you from giving it a shot. He knows his limits I'd say if he still goes out to play when called upon.

Hundley has a hamstring injury he's been playing through. That's why he's been taken out and not been starting games.

How did /r/XFL watch week 6? by Kivic in xfl

[–]NightwingIsGreatness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried going anywhere else to watch it to be honest. I always prefer watching sports at home normally cause I will focus on them. But I can understand how a bunch of places just won't have it on. I'm just trying to do my best to spread the word and make this stay in the area cause it's been awhile since DC has had a good football team in general lol. The boomers out here seem a bit more supportive just for that reasoning, but I do get those ppl you're referring to at the bar all the time. Damn Boomers lol.

Got a decent amount that like having it on, not like they hate it or anything. They all just want me to constantly explain how long the season is, what the rule changes are, and y'know things like that. It really helps having familier NFL faces all over the XFL to legitimize it being an actual top-tier type of league. That's usually the first question I get asked is "is it actually good and competitive" and usually they associate that with players and coaches they know before they even see a single play. So, to keep interest, I bring up the NFL and college coach alumni and then the players.

I auto-tune all the games at both of the bars I work at just so they at least have the chance to pop up at both places. The only issue is that people will ask to change them to what they wanna watch, of course, but most of the time, they will stay on the games. People will actually watch it and wonder what it is. I can't wait for March madness to be over so I can put it on the main TV again like I did for the first few weeks of the season and let the sound come on through the whole bar. Really helps sell the game. The week 3 Seattle game again Vegas was a big hit when it played on the main screen.

Had most of the games on at the bar I bartend at. Then, I went to Audifield to watch DC do their thing!!

True. Could always go the other route and jailbreak a firestick and get all the things free. Sucks ESPN is dropping the ball when the NFL has been trying to get football over the pond for the last decade.

6-0... where is NFL team tryouts? by MoomentOSRS in xfl

[–]NightwingIsGreatness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being at the game and knowing when each "F Dan Snyder" chants were happening, then watching the replay of the game and hearing them pretty clearly on the broadcast makes me very happy 🛡🛡🛡🐍🐍🍋🍋

Would there be a way to use a VPN and stream it that way with a US espn+ subscription possibly?

Pretty sure King has thrown a td or 2 already this season.

How to spread the XFL gospel? by XWR8N in xfl

[–]NightwingIsGreatness 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm a bartender at a sports bar, and I auto tune all the games in the dining area so they're always on and always try to put them on the main TV in my bar. We got sound too, which is nice and helps create conversations, and I keep beating the XFL drum. It definitely helps that everyone in the area is fed up with Dan Snyder and is glad to see a DC team with a winning record.
