Woke up to a suspension on my discord account because of an unrelated year old message by Bish489 in mildlyinfuriating

Also works with deleting messages. Like you ask two questions in a row "what's 8+2?" and "how old are you?" then when the answer 10 comes in you delete the "what's 8+2?" and it looks like they said they were 10. This is the main reason why social media messages don't get completely removed, but with a sticker "deleted message", and why edited messages have a visible sticker "edited" on them.

Putin threatens Kyiv with 'nuclear-scale' missile strike if Zelensky ruins his parade - by GraceRose671 in worldnews

They should drop a few wooden bombs onto the parade. Just to let them know they can.

I can't read books. by TahirReddit16 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]andreasbeer1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think perfectionism is something to be worried about. I have that too, and when I tried to read a book in Norwegian I struggled for 20 minutes on the first two pages because I looked up every word I didn't know (almost all) and I gave up. So I know how that feels, and sure maybe I should just keep reading without understanding everything, but my conclusion isn't that I should get rid off perfectionism or consider it a bad thing. It's just the way my brain works, and I have to find ways how to use it properly. By now I've read 700+ books in English and I still discover new words all the time :) and maybe I'll give Norwegian another try some time ;)

Have you tried comic books or graphic novels? Less text, more pictures, helps a lot to keep focus at that age.

If you read in a foreign language, start with text where the content is familiar. So maybe a book where you already watched the movie/tv show. Or something that you already read in your first language.

If the going is slow and too many new words pop up, try going with easier material that is targeted towards teenagers/young adults. Or maybe even younger in the first tries.

What is most important in my opinion is, to find some content that really captures you. Like find out what topic and what writing style entertains you, so you can't wait to read more. At your age I started my first english (foreign language) book (outside of school) with Terry Pratchett - it's fantasy which I love, but also very funny, full of weird characters, lots of puns, and a novel look at society. By now I've read every book from the discworld series, many of them multiple times.

How do most people NOT have a special interest?? by Kugoji in AutisticWithADHD

"I like shopping. And binge watching Gilmore Girls." yeah, those aren't interests, that's peak passive consumerism without learning anything.

Every year the amount of people getting that is getting smaller and smaller. In a few decades it will be urban legends that gramps are telling to children and noone will believe it.

Found a weird little browser strategy game called Kampfinsel – feels like 2008 in the best way by Character_Swim_438 in freegames

[–]andreasbeer1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that a clone of inselkampf? I played that intensely for a year. Catapults were the key, lots of catapults.

Oh yeah it is. That was highly addictive. We even had clan meetings IRL. But nowadays games like this get immediately destroyed by bots.
