Seeing your reply in my inbox reminded me that I got up to get some ice-cream, but forgot again en route to the freezer. On the bright side, it means I still have ice-cream in my freezer

"Multiple new scylla songs too, Supergiant are spoiling us."

Awesome. I love how catchy the Scylla songs are

Thanks for reminding me that I have ice cream in

I like it. Let's get philosophical on this shit. What even is a chair?

The genocide is ongoing.

Perchance do you have autism and/or ADHD? I ask because I experience the same thing as you do, and for me, it feels like it derives from my autism/ADHD. Like, sometimes the first cue that I am severely dehydrated is that I get a headache. I get a similar thing with hunger, where I could legitimately go for multiple days without noticing I'm hungry if I don't get reminded that food is a thing.

I really love how Technology Connections is just living his best life, being so iconically nerdy that he has masses of adoring fans, despite the topics he covers being so ostensibly dull. I remember scoffing when I first stumbled across him; I thought "a 40+ minute video on [boring stuff I didn't care about] — who would watch that?". I think I probably started watching it with the expectation that after a few moments my disdain would be validated, and I'd move on. As it happens, I was enchanted by the magic of "passionate nerd explains something in depth".

This is also useful as a visual cue for "the dishwasher is finished and needs to be unloaded". My ADHD means that visual cues like this are super helpful

I think it's plausible that there are more people here that are neurodivergent. However, even more significant than this is a culture where neurodivergent people are more visible. At Reddit, calling someone or something autistic would usually be an insult. Here, it's more often that we are recognising each other and existing in solidarity.

I was going to say "bit of both", but I realise this is complicated by how long I was on Reddit; the culture and experience over there changed over time. I wonder whether the parts of Lemmy that remind me of Reddit are invoking my earlier experiences

That's a really sucky situation to be in. I'm glad that they haven't cut you off, but I can imagine that the stress of the possibility makes engaging with therapy harder than it should be.

I am in this image and I don't like it.
