Do you really not get how actively playing a video game requires more executive functioning than hitting a video play button?

Sure, I guess so. But here you are saying "I wish I could start literally anything at all", and then you immediately talk about literally starting something. You clearly can start some things. I don't think that watching anime and YouTube is time wasted.

I’m not the original commenter, I’m just skeptical that someone can’t see the difference in cognitive effort required for the two things.

Washing the dishes and running a marathon are both starting things, so if you can do one you should clearly be able to do the other, right?

Maybe slow down and read more thoroughly instead of making assumptions about what I mean. I get this is "ADHD Memes", but that's just a really weird and uncharitable interpretation of what I wrote.
