  • I’m not sure if it’s the new version, but for some reason my account on this instance (programming.dev) doesn’t seem to work properly in Boost, whereas it worked fine before (before meaning earlier this week).

    When I look at my feed (which is set to ‘Subscribed’) it seems to show posts from all communities instead. And when I try to make a post or comment it says something about the login being invalid. I can still see my profile in Boost, though, and I can even open them for editing. Edit: when I try to post something through the app I get a ‘401 Invalid Login’ error message even though I’m logged in.

    It works fine on the other instance I’m in so if seems to be specific to this instance? (I’m posting this from the website, because Boost won’t let me post it from there).

    Thanks for this great app. I loved the Reddit version and I am loving this one as well!

    People who claim having ADHD has benefits or is a super power are just saying it to make it sound less bad. The reality is that ADHD sucks. It’s not impossible to deal with most of the time once you learn more about yourself and how your ADHD impacts you and what can help you manage the symptoms. Every individual is different. And sometimes we just have to accept that we mess up and that, although we are responsible for those mess ups and we have to work extra hard to blend in and try not to mess up too badly, it’s also a handicap that we didn’t ask for.

    I don’t get why people say they have certain positive traits thanks to their ADHD. Why can’t it be because they themselves, as people, are good at something? Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and every individual is unique. ADHD makes things more difficult, but not impossible. We just have to work with what we have and all we can do is try to find ways to get what we want in a way that works for us.










  • I love good movies that are actually good. But lately I haven’t been feeling too well physically (health problems -.-) and needed something to watch. And I ended up watching a lot of movies that are generally considered bad. And I liked them. Because I watched them for what they were and didn’t have any expectations.

    I thought some were actually ‘decent’. Not the best, but definitely not the trash people said it was (on IMDB and RT) . And then there were some that were really really bad. But most of them were fun! Not good, but fun, which is what I’m usually looking for when watching a movie anyway.

    The types of movies or TV shows I like to watch really depend on how I feel. Sometimes I want to watch movie that makes me think or have a big impact and sometimes I want to watch a movie for its entertainment factor. In the end, if I was entertained while watching the movie, the movie was good enough to me at that time.
