    Absolutely, this kind of incredible skill can't come on its own without a ton of flubs and failures. I think it's admirable how much background work goes into something as silly as an improvised ad for a made up sandwich. I wish I had 10% of that ability to come up with funny shit on the fly just like that

    Yeah, in fact, since I'm not interested in the game itself, I'm thinking it would be a much better idea for me in the long run to buy a resin 3D printer and print my own minis. I already have an FDM printer but it's too low-res for great looking miniatures.

    Looks great! I want to get into WH40k mini painting next year after I finish my new furniture!

    Funny thing is that I'm not interested in playing the game at all, the appeal of 40K to me is the lore and the cool minis

    ::: spoiler CW: animal abuse So, today here in Brazil a case made headlines: a nine-year-old broke into a vet hospital, tortured and killed 23 animals... I don't know what to say, this is one of the most brutal things I've read in a very long time, really fucked me up. How does this happen? How can a child be capable of such cruelty? Isn't there some kind of innate empathy towards other mammals? What the fuck is going on inside that boy's brain? :::

    Man, jesus fucking christ... this world can be a very grim place sometimes sadness-abysmal

    Absolutely, although I imagine that it would be prohibitively expensive and/or illegal for them to do so. That's why I try to offset my leeching by seeding a ton of stuff whenever my PC's turned on

    I second the stremio + realdebrid recommendation, but with the caveat that it's pretty bad for the torrent network, since it doesn't seed... I use it, but I make sure to seed everything I download like crazy on my PC's torrent client

    ADHD without meds?
  • joaomarrom joaomarrom 1w ago 100%

    Well, I've been to a psychiatrist who will not prescribe me stimulants or even fucking ask me questions about how I'm feeling until I have a neuropsychologist's assessment that I have ADHD. He only prescribes me arbitrary amounts of Wellbutrin and sends me on my merry way. It helps with my mood but does fuckall for my focus, so what I do is drink a lot of coffee and chain-vape the whole day, but I don't know whether or not that helps or is simply a habit of mine.

    What does in fact help me is to make much use of my Google Calendar to remind me of all my work commitments (I absolutely will forget them if I don't set up reminders) and if there's a specific thing I need to focus on, I use the Pomodoro method with some app for convenience. That is assuming I remember that I have a task to do and manage to muster the initiative to actually get started, which often doesn't happen.

    What's up with the WAIS test?

    Is anybody here familiar with this thing? I'm talking to a psychiatrist to get assessed for ADHD, but in order to start treatment, if necessary, I'll first have to do this *neuropsychological assessment* called the WEIS test. It's expensive as shit, more than 2k, but seems to be the only way for me to get any kind of treatment. I can either pay that amount or wait 8-10 months to get it through my health insurance. I did some digging and apparently it's this assessment of intelligence that can only be applied by qualified professionals. It frankly sounds like I'm about to get my brainpan measured. Have any of you taken this exam? Is it as stupid as it sounds? Has it helped you receive and/or validate a diagnosis? Honestly it fucking sucks to me, having to jump through all these hoops just to have somebody listen to me and say "you have/don't have ADHD".

    Folks, everybody's saying that Deep Purple plagiarized their greatest hit. Lots of Brazilians come to me and they say it, "Maria Moita was stolen!", they're all saying it. "They stole our song, and they made it purple!"

    This game has so much soul, its gameplay probably feels dated as hell nowadays (haven't played it in years) but it's still in my top 3 best written games ever, along with Planescape Torment and Disco Elysium. I first played it more than a decade ago and I still think about this poem sometimes. *With bony hands I hold my partner* *On soulless feet we cross the floor* *The music stops as if to answer* *An empty knocking at the door* *It seems his skin was sweet as mango* *When last I held him to my breast* *But now we dance this grim fandango* *And will four years before we rest.*

    Not gonna lie, I'm glad to have something funny to laugh about, given how grim things are right now. I hope you get a brief chuckle out of this. God knows I needed something fun this week. This is a Br*tish weirdo who apparently went looking for gold in Afghanistan and got himself captured by the Taliban. A while ago someone claiming to be a friend of his posted saying that he was alive and well and enjoying his time as a captive. Everyone called bullshit, including the Chapo hosts, who had a lot of fun with the whole situation last week. Everybody was sure that this guy was very much dead but it turns out that the even funnier outcome actually came true: he really was alive and well, indeed having picnics, playing Xbox and apparently watching fucking Barbie with the guyliner-wearing Taliban. Don't get me wrong, he's still a Br*tish dumbass who has no business being in Afghanistan at all, especially given his intention of establishing a gold mine, but this is truly the only really funny thing that's happened this week, and I thought I'd share.

    When will the bad thing stop happening in the region? Those affected are tired of being affected by the thing in question. Some have said that the thing that is happening is, in fact, a bad thing. Experts agree that there are bad things happening in the region where bad things often happen for many different reasons.
