I enjoyed this immensely.
“autism didn’t exist back in my day”
autism back in the day:I’d wager that some examples of autism back in the day resulted in things like obsessing over the math about change resulting in calculus, or about what happens to things moving at close to the speed of light, resulting in special relativity (and that obsession continued until it was generalized). Or a guy that loved to paint but also invent things that couldn’t be made with the tech at the time. Or realize that everything in the solar system is moving the same way and there is no special retrograde movement, it just looks like that because we’re moving at a different rate.
I’d wager there’s at least a bit of autism involved in most cases where someone realized that conventional wisdom was wrong, with possible exceptions for times when something new gave access to new obvious evidence, like the microscope letting microbes be seen directly.
Same shit why ADHD wasn’t as prevalent back then because everyone smokes and nicotine is a good stimulant for ADHD.
that makes me wanna try it but I CANNOT be trusted with addictive chemicals at this point in my life 😭
I’d say it’s about 10% as effective as a cup of coffee for my ADHD symptoms, and coffee is about 25% as the low dose concerta I take…if I drink one coffee per hour for the entire work day.
Math says: don’t do it.
I quit smoking cigs a decade ago and would never consider using them for ADHD over coffee…and I only use coffee if I’m out of concerta
This is a wise choice and I respect that you know yourself well enough to know this.
If it helps, I’ve heard many ADHD people report that nicotine is minimally helpful compared to actual ADHD medication. All medications come with harms and risks, but self-medicating with nicotine is a pretty poor return on the harms “investment”.
As someone with ADHD who quit nicotine a few years ago, don’t do it. The stimulant effect is milder than a cup of coffee but it doesn’t last as long and is incredibly addictive. If your brain needs stimulants, just get a prescription for Adderall, all other legal stimulants will pale in comparison
Was not aware we were supposed to compare shoe size to age.
For a better ageing experience, you should start to regularly work out before you get older than your shoe size.
Just make sure you use metric units or the whole system falls apart
The whole system is, in fact, falling apart
edit: this is about the US, right?
I don’t really follow the US news that much, but I have been watching some legal eagle videos from time to time. It’s been pretty wild. Seems to me that laws don’t really matter any more.
Well, recently I also saw a news headlines about federal courts ruling that certain executive orders were illegal etc. I guess you may still have some hope.
“System” makes me assume it’s the simulation in which you and I reside
Maybe that’s the root cause of our current situation: we are all 11 years old
I think he’s playing on the saying “act your age, not your shoe size,” hinting that he knows it’s a silly/childish thing to do, but excusing it because his feet are enormous.
VERY dull and slightly autistic. Well done.
Funny, I was thinking this person is actually slightly too interesting for this community. I may need to see a doctor.
This guy does berry good work.
Blueberries used to be called torx fruits in the olden days
And secure torx fruit was reserved for the most elite in society.
I always felt like Hank Hill was autistic-coded in some way, even if Mike Judge did not think of him that way.
Size 47 shoes?
EU 47 would be around US 12
Haha, I just thought the ridiculously oversized shoe was a clever way to say he was a clown for trying this. Looks like I am the actual clown lol.
And 47 years old
And you know what else matches shoe size? 😏
Orthopedic inserts?
Driving safety
Torx ftw.

I thought the star part was the bottom of the fruit.
It is time for you to pick some blueberries.
It’s where the petals fall off from
Damn, I have a whole bush of variously sized ripe blueberries and no Torx T30.
