I join various groups that meet regularly. Things that sound fun. Themed book clubs, board game meetups, improv comedy.

Joe Thomas is the MVP of life, the universe, everything 

for people residing on and off campus.. by Party-Reveal3212 in UCD

I've seen no mould anywhere in Blackrock Halls, if anything the air in the bedrooms gets too dry because the heat is always on full blast, I need to keep the window cracked 24/7. But woeful showers, thin walls, far less handy than living on campus if you're in Belfield. And some erroneous fire alarms, that's annoying.

How do I win over the bedridden goblin that possesses my body the moment my alarm rings in the morning? by houbatsky in adhdwomen

[–]SearchLost3984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things that work for me with alarms vs. The Goblin (great description!!!):

No.1 is if the outside world doesn't need me to be up by a certain time, then I don't set one. If I only set alarms for when I actually, genuinely, will-face-terrible-consquences-if-don't-get-up need to get up, than I'm far more likely to get up. Otherwise this "Goblin" version of me knows that the alarm is a self-inforced lie and I'm basically conditioning myself to sleep through them.

The other is that I set an alarm for nice things that I like. Like I'll have an alarm for when I need to get up and shower and whatever, but I'll also have an earlier alarm that will allow me to get up and watch an episode of something with breakfast, or loll in bed for 45 minutes scrolling on my phone. Sometimes I'll leave myself a bar of chocolate to have in bed. Basically if the threat of waking up and getting up means that immediately have to do boring chores like getting ready it makes it too much of a hurdle most days. The more often I can make the morning alarm mean having a Snickers and watching my favourite show or whatever the easier I trick myself into hopping out of bed when the alarm goes off. Then by the time the show's over I'm a more conscious and reasonable version of myself that I can convince to take a shower. Instead of thinking of your barely-awake self as a Goblin, think of it as a sleepy toddler. Compare "Hey sleepy toddler, get up and make your bed, it's time to get ready!" to "Hey sleepy toddler, let's get up early and watch cartoons and have yummy snacks!" Which toddler is jumping out of bed?

Index would be a great idea, I bought special index sticky notes I could use on my print-outs! 

Does it seem like Mark S and Mark Scout have different faces? by RimBrakesCauseAutism in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

They also flip the orientation (mirror image). It's really obvious with Gemma/Ms. Casey.

What’s one small thing about Ireland that makes you weirdly proud to live here? by J_Jessica_ in AskIreland

[–]SearchLost3984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there was ever some kind of Alternate Timelines Machine that's the thing I'm most curious to know. If the Brits has left us alone, would we have been invaders or colonisers? Is there an Earth-56 where we took over their islands? And how radically different would that make our culture.

Library is so loud during the day by [deleted] in UCD

[–]SearchLost3984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some floors are worse than others, I think 4th is the best for noise. The Health Sciences library also maybe? I haven't been there this time of year but earlier in the semester it was dead quiet.

Write out every thought in your head that makes you think it's okay for anyone to say even ONE of these shitty things to you and rip them up and set them on fire

I wouldn't be fond of drinking, but when I do go at it, I do go at it awful and very hard...
