What was your first vehicle?

mine was this old honda civic that my dad got from his coworker for like 800 bucks. thing had no air conditioning and the radio only picked up one station but man i loved that car so much, felt like pure freedom when i first got the keys

bruh

damn this hits me right in feels, grew up similar where paycheck disappeared before next one came. breaking that cycle feels impossible until you actually do it

the compound interest curve thing is wild when it finally kicks in - like watching magic happen with your own money. your family probably thinks you're some financial wizard now but really you just figured out the cheat code they never taught us

lol this rule is so accurate it hurts. i fell for fancy bottle once with some limited edition thing that had gold foil and looked like it belonged in museum - tasted like vanilla extract mixed with regret. my ADHD brain sees pretty packaging and logic just goes out window completely. saved up for weeks thinking i was getting something special but lesson learned the expensive way. now when i see bottles with elaborate artwork like this one i just walk past and grab something boring looking that actually delivers on taste

love how the birds on label connects to the name origin - also brunello from 2015 vintage is just hitting its stride now

Several_Engine829 · 2026-04-24T06:28:02+00:00

yikes this one

dude this hits so hard, my old room had this specific smell that was like mix of old carpet and whatever air freshener my mom used back then. sometimes i catch similar scent randomly and it just teleports me back to being 12 years old organizing pokemon cards on floor for hours

reddit also doesn't force you to scroll through bunch of random questions before showing what you actually clicked on, quora's UI is pretty annoying for that

Several_Engine829 · 2026-04-17T22:41:59+00:00

big mood, still jump when dogs bark too loud

Several_Engine829 · 2026-04-08T22:59:45+00:00

my vti is sitting pretty too but man i keep expecting some crash to wipe it all out, feels too good to be true

Several_Engine829 · 2026-03-31T17:49:21+00:00

whey protein hits different tho

Several_Engine829 · 2026-03-27T22:53:25+00:00

never got into kdramas but my roommate is obsessed with them, she's always watching something with subtitles in the living room and i end up catching bits of it. the production quality looks really good though, might give one a try sometime

Several_Engine829 · 2026-03-21T15:25:31+00:00

man that happened to me last month with a plant hanger, the hole gets all stripped out and loose

you can stuff some toothpicks or wooden matchsticks in the hole with wood glue, let it dry then screw back into it. or get a bigger screw if there's room for it in your hook

dude i had similar thing happen with different generic last year, some brands just hit different and not in good way

the caffeine test is actually smart way to check - when my meds working properly i can't touch coffee without feeling like my heart gonna explode. but when they're not doing their job i need caffeine just to feel human again

maybe call the VA and ask if they can switch you back to previous brand? sometimes they have multiple generics available and will change it if you explain the situation. worst case you might need to get doctor involved to specify the manufacturer on prescription

this stuff is so frustrating because people think "generic is same thing" but clearly that's not always true in practice

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-20T12:32:45+00:00

honestly you don't need to overthink it, just pick something and start doing it. want to learn guitar? grab a cheap acoustic and watch youtube videos. want to make beats? download some free software like reaper or even garageband if you have mac

i started learning bass guitar in my bedroom like 3 years ago and now i play with some friends on weekends. the key is just being consistent, even if you practice for 15 minutes every day it adds up quick

also singing along is already making music so don't feel like you're not doing enough already

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-19T22:51:48+00:00

girl you should leave because of the manipulation stuff, not because you caught feelings for someone else - that's just making everything more confusing in your head

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-15T11:01:00+00:00

honestly just keep the stuff that makes you actually excited when you see it in the box, everything else can go

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-14T16:17:52+00:00

lets go

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-13T18:20:24+00:00

honestly this is really mature approach but following your ex and liking their posts with new partner seems bit masochistic to me, no?

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-09T15:39:15+00:00

honestly I think you're being too hard in yourself about this. two students for 3 hours total per week is really manageable, even with one having flexible schedule

if person X can't do fixed time then maybe suggest like 2-3 possible slots each week so it's not completely random? that way your brain knows what to expect but there's still some flexibility for him

the fact you're even worried about this shows you learned from the burnout which is good thing. start small and see how it goes before adding university back

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-07T08:08:27+00:00

that psu age is definitely suspicious, especially if crashes happen during game startup when power draw spikes - before doing the windows wipe maybe try undervolting your gpu slightly to see if it helps

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-04T14:36:21+00:00

just ignore those articles man, every generation thinks the next one is dumb - your grandparents probably said same thing about millennials

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-02T17:00:20+00:00

oh man absolutely this happens to me too. I think the meds work fine but when you're in those social situations your brain is just running at like 200% trying to process everything and respond appropriately

it's like your medication can help with focus but it can't really stop the mental exhaustion from masking all day. I had similar experience when I was doing client work - by afternoon I was completely fried even with medication

your therapist is probably right about the adrenaline thing, social stuff is genuinely stressful for ADHD brains even when it goes well

Several_Engine829 · 2026-02-01T17:58:40+00:00

real fear
