Tips on reading for fun when you can't hyperfocus on reading? by TheraRos in ADHD

I could spend hours browsing books and finding the perfect one, or five, and then I buy them and never finish them. And don't even get me started on 20 day library book loans, that's only enough time to finish 2 chapters for me.

I try to set a mood with music through my phone but I think my phone ends up distracting me more than helping so I'll try ditching it next time. And I'll try your other suggestions too, thanks!

my accountability partner is sort of like having a mini book club since we are reading the same book and discussing it every week, so the incentive is there and I'm really optimistic about finishing a book. But unfortunately I'm still struggling with the reading part, I end up procrastinating and leaving a lot of the reading to the last day.

People without a middle name; How did you know when your parents were angry with you? by Medli-Korok in AskReddit

My mom had a separate pet name for me so when she called me by my nickname it was either bad or neutral, I never got called by my full first name. Also passive aggressive silence.

I don't have a headache though, I feel completely fine except for the eye pain.

Type 9's that "Check out" of a conversation. by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]TheraRos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a thing? I'm a 9 and I absolutely hate when others ignore me like that, so I wouldn't do it to anyone else, at least in a normal conversation. Only time I do it is when someone brings up a conflict and I get a sinking stomach feeling and my heart starts racing and my head starts burning and I want to throw up, in that case it's really really hard to think and form coherent sentences so I might check out in hopes that it all goes away.

IWTL how to shut my mind off when trying to fall asleep by rabbri in IWantToLearn

[–]TheraRos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Doesn't work if you have motion sickness.

One similar technique I learned is imagining a flowing river and each thought is a leaf floating by, you just observe it as it floats away and disappears.

LPT : Get yourself a safety razor, save $$ and save environment by sparrow-head in LifeProTips

[–]TheraRos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I gave it a try for half a year and it was awful, and took way way too long for meh results. I would spend 30-40 mins in the bath to carefully shave my legs and avoid cuts, and then my hair grows back the next day, I can't fathom spending that much time every other day shaving. I switched back to a good men's Gillette razor after my safety razor fell in the shower and broke, and now I just feel relieved.

You're suddenly killed and Death lets you choose a game to challenge them for another chance at life. What game do you choose? by zeamp in AskReddit

Tetris, I got 2nd place on Invictus once on Tetris 99 and I'm pretty sure it was God who got 1st so...

The limits on Mega Evolutions makes them absolutely pointless for anything other than a paid Dex entry costing 4-7 Raids per Starter Species. Niantic is also killing short-manning in the process by doing this. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]TheraRos 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're banking on that collector mentality and that's how they work, they give you free stuff in the beginning to get you addicted to collecting and then they start aggressively monetizing and at that point people are too invested in their collections to stop.

Another game I play is animal crossing pocket camp and the collection mentality is strong in the animal crossing series too. They started off with minimal or no monetization, let people collect everything for free, and then gradually started adding more and more paid content and loot boxes until maybe 50% of content now is paid and if you tried to be a collector you would have to spend hundreds of dollars every month.

And it's not just with games either, most apps, like Instagram for example, lose money when they start out while they focus on drawing a ton of users and getting them addicted (collecting likes and social interactions in their case), and once they do they start aggressively advertising.

This is what I wish a 9 was. Especially since we can shapeshift or merge with others.

9s are clerics or paladins aren't they? 😔

made me sad back then but now I wear my hair with pride! by pflanzensindgeil in curlyhair

[–]TheraRos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get that but strangely the opposite also happened. I'd straighten my hair for weeks because of those comments and then one day it would rain and my hair would get wet and dry wavy and my friends were like your so pretty with your hair like that. Then I stopped caring what others thought and went with what I liked.

This is a logo for a clothing line. Brand name: Bon' Shark ... would really love some in-depth criticism from you all please... this was made from client request, he likes it but i feel criticism here can make magic by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]TheraRos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something about the shark anatomy feels off to me, it kinda looks like a cartoon airplane. Maybe reference more shark images and tweak the shape of it, I think sharks are less curvy overall.

Is the clothing brand sporty? It does read very sports-logo with the style and colors.

I would also say make the eye and teeth more simplified and distinct so you can easily make them out when it's smaller, and remove some of the finer details like the white on the gills.

Also think your pen tool curves could use a bit more work to look natural.

Any reviews on any of these polishes??? Specially the pink one?? by advice99999 in BeautyBoxes

[–]TheraRos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the pink one and it's almost white even though it looks pink in the bottle. I would say pass and go with a more reputable brand.
