I've always said my brain is my biggest enemy and I need to defeat it and keep it in check every day. it's a fucker. you don't need to exercise, nah making a meal is too hard just eat toast, you can have a smoke now it's 4.20 don't worry about whatever is on next.. my brain literally tells me to do the opposite of what I need if to do, so now I do the opposite of what it wants me to do. no you don't need to exercise, go for a run no, don't cook tonight, cook properly no, have a smoke it's good bro, wait until later no, cut the grass next week.. cut them grass

it's hard and I don't always win against my brain but it's a battle I win more often than I lose

brains don't know right from wrong, they just pattern match, so we need to define the patterns and make new ones.

I know right from wrong so I have to keep my brain in check. it's a constant battle.

not advocating for the US ever, but in the interests of accuracy..

Washington has denounced the ICC over arrest warrants issued for Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a past investigation into actions of US soldiers in Afghanistan, which the ICC has since closed. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/1821076/us-imposes-sanctions-on-international-criminal-court-hours-after-former-judge-wins-nobel

I'm a Brit and I moved to New Zealand in 2010 and haven't looked back. UK is a shit hole traumatised by Tory rule and Brexit. New Zealand is such a literal breath of fresh air. sure we also have similar social issues like right wing politics (Act, NZ1st, National), but we also had Jacinda and I'd vote for her again forever. you don't move to NZ to get rich, you move because you love the land, and the people are awesome and friendly. I'd never go to the US. ewwww

keep open avocados in a ziplock sandwich bag to keep them from going brown and gross. I can make an avocado last five days and it's still green 💚

you can't get addicted to shrooms you will grow from taking shrooms

never even occurred to me not to drink alcohol with my Ritalin. not like I wash the pills down with a beer, but certainly later in the afternoon I'd have a smoke, weed, and a beer or two and everything is fine. why wouldn't you be able to do that?

massively reduced alcohol consumption in my late forties, dropped 20Kg. significantly better for it going into my 50s. probably could do more exercise but I'm 80kg with 32" waist. I'm happy in my body now. 💯 decision time. I've seen friends who made the choice and those who didn't and the difference is stark. one is dead and I didn't think that would start happening to me in my 50s.. RIP Paul

so you know the leaves are poisonous and you should only eat the stem? just checking..

I'm 52, diagnosed last year was a smoker since 16yrs until 40yrs when I stopped when my daughter was born. one of the hardest things I've done. but I also smoke weed and recently got a prescription so that helps. losing tobacco was good for me. now I vape weed to calm my brain down. Keeps the internal dialogue in check, reduces the noise of my own thoughts. now I have Ritalin. it's good. better then tobacco. my advice, don't start nicotine for any reason. it's horrible and so hard to give up as it integrates itself into your every day activities. my ADHD is manageable and I've have multiple coping mechanisms. before smart phones I used post-it notes to remind me. I've always smoked weed since I found out for it calmed my brain. my advice is do whatever works as long as you don't make things harder for yourself. smoking tobacco and using nicotine are not positive solutions in my humble opinion. nor is alcohol some might also argue against weed.. but I know it helps a lot of people. good luck

As someone who has worked IT for 30years, yes I remember windows 3.1 and Novel Netware, there absolutely is an IT magic that surrounds certain professionals. Things just fix themselves after I'm literally standing by their desk. Problem occurs repeatedly for user. Disappears when I get there. I think some people are just incompatible with computers...
