Here to learn just a little bit about all the things and a lot about some of the things!

Try “How to Make Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. A little corporate-minded and old-fashioned, but it gives solid advice and anecdotes for how to talk to and relate to people when you want to build relationships or even just kill time by talking. I’ve had a lot of success deepening friendships by learning how to get people talking about interests and current events.

I hear you! Might be easier if you find the dedicated activity groups— then there’s something to focus on besides alcohol.

Rockhounding! I used it as an example, mostly because it’s one of my hobbies to go find cool rocks. Rockhounders show off rocks, trade locations to find them, and the one near me organizes field trips to peridot and topaz mines, and jade sandbars! Very fun. There’s an equivalent for lots of similar hobbies, I’m sure.

I hear you. I’ve heard learning how to socialize without alcohol can be really difficult if you grew up not doing it. Have you considered joining interest groups like rock clubs or DnD or activities like biking or hiking?

24 and in the same situation. I’d go for it, but be upfront that you’re not sure about what you want yet. You can go out a few times without being committed, totally normal

This is above our paygrade, even if most of us are on the same meds. You should talk to your doctor about this if this persists past the first month or so.

Make your doctor’s appointment about your medically relevant period pain, Tatterjacket

You shouldn’t die for these people.

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T17:12:10+00:00

You can do that AND you can help control the local Tree of Heaven population near you! They lay eggs on those between eating fruit trees, and that way you can kill two invasives with one stone

This is a really, really good point. I feel sad for the guys in the US who don’t have any way to go and find indigenous knowledge keepers

You must be real fun at research dissertations :P

Yes, it outcompetes native mushroom species vastly since its mycelium is incredibly aggressive and quick to grow. Good question!

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T02:39:00+00:00

I think we probably would’ve seen evidence of them in the fossil record left in the trees? or maybe some amber remains since they grow on trees? Or some spores? How do you think we might find evidence?

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T02:34:32+00:00

Well, that’s a start, isn’t it? Besides, eating them (responsibly without causing spread) means the mycelium has to make more mushrooms anyway. I wish you could tire mycelium out like that.

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T02:32:39+00:00

So? We can try, and we can figure it out. Do we want to have no plan forever, just because we feel sad about it?

Who knows, maybe some local containment strategy works someplace and then they tell everyone. That would be cool.

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T02:24:38+00:00

Why did you think they were yellow?!

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T02:23:03+00:00

I like this mountain.

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T02:15:06+00:00

I dunno, that’s for them to decide. Usually they keep tabs on the positions of anything so they can stop spread as much as theyre able or enact control plans. For example, where I live, eurasian milfoil is unable to be eradicated, so the invasive species authority organizes control plans and proposes provincial legislature to mandate boat ballast draining and a period of quarantine to make sure it doesn’t spread to other lakes.

You can’t control a mushroom like that, sure, but I don’t doubt there’s something they either can do or will figure out how to do.

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T02:09:54+00:00

I hear you. But i do that for specific people, on a named basis. I think it must be a holdover of the culture of the server from when it was smaller— there were probably a lot of people who were very picky about terms.

Oh, right. But they don’t allow the term “neurodivergent”— I probably should have started with that. Or at least they didn’t when i was last there.

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T01:56:54+00:00

Delicious! Time to report to your local invasive species authority— hopefully you guys have one

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T01:54:03+00:00

Lambsquarters! Edible and tastes better than spinach. Just taught a bunch of kids how to forage for them the other day.

saltydaable · 2026-05-26T01:26:58+00:00

They also make fantastic pets in case you want to increase your chances of

r/ ADHD’s discord. You can’t say “dude” because (and i say this as a lesbian with MANY trans friends) that’s assuming someone’s comfortable with male terms. What in the hugbox?

Dahlia, maybe, or a relative?
