Swing and a miss bud

I'll be voting for the most progressive viable candidate. If that's kamala or AOC or Gavin newsom, yeah we might lose, but that's not going to stop me from vocally supporting them over some joker like Jill Stein who has literally zero chance and knows it.

Radical left wing politicians are not electable outside of small college towns. Democrats, and Americans more generally are not radically left wing. Calling for the death of America, or Israel, or any country really, is not a position that will win you a general election in this country.

I'd say I'm probably more optimistic than most, but I don't know if I'd apply that to the whole population. It's a disorder that affects your ability to perform in the ways society expects you to, and for a lot of people, that sense of failed duty is a weight that they bear every day.

For me tho, I've never really given a fuck what society expects out of me. I live for myself first. If my boss or teachers or parents are pissed because I'm not measuring up to some metric, that's their problem. I'm in a career now where I don't need to worry about finding a new job. They're plentiful. So I just focus on what makes me happy and put in just enough effort to keep my head above water and save a bit for down the line. Work and education have always just been a means to that end. I'd say I'm definitely an outlier in that regard.

I've got bad knees, so running (and a lot of other sports) is out, but I live to bike. I commute every day of the year, rain sleet or snow. It's my favorite part of the day.

The most important part of staying active for me, was finding something that I actually enjoy. If I can trick my ADHD into thinking it's playtime, and not some drudgery that needs to be completed, it becomes a game, and suddenly I can focus for 10 hours straight.

I'm not anorexic. Im a healthy 225. I love eating. I just sometimes forget that it's something I need to do everyday. 😅

I like my smartwatch. I'm extremely ADHD as well as hypoglycemic. I have a lifelong history of not eating, then working/playing/exercising until i get woozy or pass out. I'm a terrible judge of what I actually need to stay functional. Always have been. I'm stubborn and will just try to power through things when I actually can't.

The watch helps me track my sleep/rem cycles and lets me know when I've been neglecting my health. It lets me know when I'm getting stressed and need to take it easy, and it estimates how many calories I've expended on a given day.

The watch and pager functions are nice for reducing screen time when I should be working, but as a health monitor I find it indispensable in keeping me honest with myself.

Same, but there's no way in hell this type of psycho gave it all away. He stashed a couple million somewhere for a rainy day. That's how these people work.
