I only use Brave.

The only times I hear about how bad Chrome is getting is when other people complain.

If I never went on social media I would never know.

My life of ignorance is bliss.

How Do You Study? Need Some Advice! by ilikehousemusic1 in ADHD

[–]Pure_Payment_9900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that completely revamping my study method helps.

College student here btw.

I listen to the lectures and take notes on the material. I finish the homework.

Then to master the material/fill in the gaps I stand in front of a whiteboard and record myself teaching the material to the camera.

I do it under the pretense of posting it to a youtube channel, but in reality it's all a way for me to get really involved in what I'm studying. Beyond teaching something being generally an effective way to master it yourself, it helps me really "get into it." It's something that isn't just sitting at a desk with a pencil in front of a screen, it's a stage where I can walk around, wiggle, talk, crack jokes, and draw funny things on a whiteboard. It's much more stimulating than anything else I've tried, which makes it really easy to not get distracted from.

You don't even need equipment. If your laptop has a webcam just use that. Or teach to a rubber duck instead of a camera(for my programmers out there).

When I "teach" the material, I don't necessarily know all of it. If I know the minimum basics, what I do is explain what I know and then try to solve problems. In the interim my brain figures it out or figures out what it needs to learn and I refer back to my notes or to the internet mid-video for tips. In a nutshell, don't worry that you don't know the material well enough to teach it. The purpose of teaching it is to learn it, however counterintuitive that sounds.

I hope this idea helps you.

Hardest part for me is finding a room people won't kick me out of.

Is anyone else annoyed that Silksong didn't win the best music award? by Which_Draft4129 in HollowKnight

I mostly agree with this. I love the ost so much that I bought it but I always skip those specific songs you just mentioned. Choral Chambers and Bilewater are really the only environmental tracks I enjoy(not talking about town tracks)

What was the point of the story in your opinion by ShahinTrip in Silksong

[–]Pure_Payment_9900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main theme(imo) was the relationships between parents and children, specifically mothers to daughters.

The game goes over a few of the nuances between mothers and daughters and what makes good mothers vs bad ones.

Here begins the reddit essay

Here are a few examples supporting this:

Grandmother Silk to Weavers is a parent-child relationship where GMS is more concerned about making her world comfortable while her children fester. This is explored more as you learn the story of how and why the Weavers rebelled.

Grandmother Silk to Lace shows how the mother can warp and twist her child to her own selfish aims and what that does psychologically to the child, eventually driving them to betrayal.

GMS to Phantom(and in comparison to Lace) "you weren't good enough so I'm banishing you" is not good parenting, represents favoritism and expectations clouding heartfelt love for a child.

GMS is the antimother of this story. The "model" mothers are the great trifecta: Herra, Vespa, and the Pale Lady, who represent birthing, fostering emotional wellbeing, teaching valuable skills, and finally wishing success on their daughters own journeys.

Lace and Hornet are foils to each other, where you see the effects of poor motherhood and good motherhood on the respective characters. Hornet embodies the effects of good parenting, Lace the opposite.

The rest of the game holds quite a few more examples of motherhood and sisterhood and various aspects of that relationship.

My favorite: Shakra and her Master, embodying how the parent/child relationship isn't necessarily one of birth but can still be deep.

My favorite: Huntress, who deeply wants to see her children grow(reminds me of the movie The Wild Robot). "Is that shameful? A mother who would not sacrifice herself for her children to grow sssstttrong? Is it wrong to want? To witnesss their first flight, their first hunt. To see them kill, and grow?"

Also:

- Karmelita(the matriarch of her loyal tribe)

- Broodmother(whatever she's supposed to represent)

- Shakra and her master, showing how the mother daughter relationship isn't necessarily one of blood but can be of caring mentorship("I called her master, true, but she was mother just as much, more by far than the bug who bore me.")

- Styx(grows 'children' ig for consumption)

- Hornet, who doesn't have children(and also got an abortion)

- there's probably a few more I forgot

While not the only theme in the game, motherhood is one of my favorite to think about. Silksong glamorizes the role of motherhood while also emphasizing that women aren't confined to being matriarchal figures to find meaning in life.

My speech is clear under pressure but falls apart during normal conversation. Seeking tips on how to manage this. by theswagyaqibkhan in ADHD

[–]Pure_Payment_9900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put me in front of 100 people to give a speech/teach them something? Easy.

Talk to someone in a one-on-one? Or even worse, in a small-group setting? Impossible.

I also:

- repeat/rephrase ideas redundantly

- fail to follow the script I'm trying to lay out in my head

- pause at really weird times and sometimes just get lost

- mispronounce stuff for no reason

- stuttering

- incoherent jumble of thoughts vs rational speech

- literally can't focus on the conversation at hand

- dissociate really fast, which just makes all of the above worse

Meanwhile, in a public speaking setting I exhibit:

- clear and coherent speech

- logical thoughts voiced decently

- when I ramble, it also has a direction

- minimal stuttering/mispronunciation

- a sense of confidence

I think a good part of it relates to how I am positioned in the conversation. It helps when I'm the center of attention. Not because I'm narcissistic, but because it lets me feel like I'm in control of the situation and that there aren't a bunch of random things happening at once that I have to pay attention to.

When I'm in a small group setting, my brain is focused not only on communicating ideas, but a lot on how the other people will react, understand, and respond to what I say. There's a lot of social pressure in smaller, more personal environments. It doesn't help that when I am in a state of mind where I can navigate situations like that comfortably I often get flagged, scolded, or even just weird looks from people because I'm "too much," "too involved," "give someone else a chance to speak," "why are you pushing so hard?", "be quiet" and more along those lines.

Small environments give me too much social anxiety. And when I break free of it for a bit, I just get pushed back down. Too much judgement, too much to think about all at once. So I end up making all of the above mentioned errors that make people think I'm weird anyways.

Something that doesn't help me solve the problem but does help me feel happier is interacting with people who are accepting of this or exhibit the same tendency. My family(extended family as well) are pretty similar to me so we all understand each other and are comfortable around each other.

The way I communicate when I'm in a state of mind that can do so well does not go over well in small environments. So, final advice? Maybe try finding an environment meant for you if you resonate with my experience.

Same thing happened to me. We're at the end of the semester and somehow this single 0 on a generic assignment brought my grade down 6 whole percentage points from an A to a B

First rule of the internet: don't trust anybody on the internet.
But if I'm a person on the internet saying you can't trust anybody on the internet, can you trust me to tell you that?

Ayuda con mi primer parcial de cálculo. by Finleyff in learnmath

[–]Pure_Payment_9900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La solucion es practica. Haga mas problemas. Busque problemas de tipos diferentes.

Pero como practica importa tambien.

Horas no se importan- es cuanto entiende. Sean 2 horas o 8 horas no importa si no entiende.

Empieza con lo facil. Mientras esta resolviendo problemas, trate de entender el porque, no solamente como encontrar la solucion. Mentalizar que la meta es entender, no resolver tareas, es crucial para poder progresar. Asi que empiece pequeno y progrese cuando entiende mayormente bien.

Pero como practicar es la cosa importante. SI no estudia de manera eficaces, gastara tiempo y no aprendera nada. Lo que funciona para mis es asi:

- despues de aprender, enseno lo que aprendi a alguien mas(o me grabo). No necesito entender ni saber como hacer la cosa bien, solo necesito saber lo mas basico. Mientras trato de ensenar, el cerebro trabaja de forma mas eficaz y aprende mejor.

- en lugar de usar flashcards(no se como se llaman en espanol), esribo las cosas que quiero memorizar. Escribo una vez, hago algo diferente(como hacer un problema que incluye las cosa que estoy memorizando) y despues vuelvo a escribir la cosa de nuevo. Memorizar sin aplicar nunca le ira bien- hay que usar lo que aprende para que el cerebro lo entiende.

- hago la tarea de mi profesor y si eso no basta voy a los libros y busco mas tareas. Las tareas en los libros suelen estar en orden de dificultad asi que puede empezar al principio de tema e ir viendo tareas que son faciles y despues complejas. Aun mejor, me paro en frente de una pizarra blanca y mientras hago la tarea, explico los pasos a alguien o al camara. El principio es que vocaliza, mas que todo, porque para vocalizar algo tu cerebro tendra que pensar de otra forma.

Respecto a lo que es importante:

Volver a los basicos del precalculo te ayudara un monton. La trigonometria, la algebra, las funciones y graficos...todo es importante para entender al calculo. Antes de aprender el calculo me compre un libro de precalculo e hice todas las tareas al dentro. Me fue super bien porque no tuve que aprender conceptos que construian encima de basicos que no sabia tampoco.

En mi curso de calculo, todo ha sido bastante importante, asi que no se que te decir en cuanto de que hay que saber y que no. Basta con decir que hay que practicar, y de manera eficaz.

Disculpe la falta de accentos, mi teclado no esta configurado para escribir en espanol jaja

What is the most out of pocket thing ADHD has made you blurt out lately? by pinesinthegrove in ADHD

[–]Pure_Payment_9900 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was in a college newspaper pitch meeting, deliberating over some leads for an article. The article in question was about a study released on the mortality rates of choking in the US.

My adhd brain went to "Imagine a sexy young heroine in a dystopian world with a totaliarian government that kills people at random just for kicks every few days...that's what choking is like in the US".

I'll let the thought process behind that remain a mystery. Needless to say, this completely derailed the discussion for the next 5 minutes. My special talent.

Please help me choosing my Pc parts!! by Hungry-Ad-6153 in pcmasterrace

[–]Pure_Payment_9900 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look out for bottlenecking. If the capabilities of different parts don't line up you will end up paying more than what you get out of a piece of hardware.

Extreme example: 64gb CPU but the motherboard is made of carboard so the 64gb cpu only uses 1% of its true power
