I sympathize with the heartache, though. That kind of thing hurts when you realize you were mistaken. You can figure out a way to make time away happen. Let the frustration wash over you and percolate and a solution will eventually bubble out so you can have the thing you want.

Okay, but what you are trying to do is very specifically what business is not allowing. Like, the EXACT THING you want to do is what they don't want you doing. You can't be gone for long periods. I will say most jobs have 2-5 weeks paid vacation off a year, but maybe some jobs only have a few days, so perhaps OP is just trying to save up a couple of weeks. But a couple of months? No, no, the caps are so you can't do that. A lot of companies (especially IT) will do PTO payouts. If you're above a certain amount of hours, you can just cash out once a year.

Probably should stop dating the girlfriend and start dating the brother now 15 comments

I have a friend who is neither ADD or on the spectrum. She's just incredibly creative. So she goes down knowledge rabbit holes and is always excited to talk about her passions or other people's, but of course feels like she has to dial back most of the time. That could OP's situation.
On a bit of a downer side note (and not related to what I said above), I understand the harm in toxic positivity and framing, but othering' ppl instead of 'normalizing' them does tend to make "normal" people wonder if they are weird.

I think I may be a cat 2 comments

See, this is why I can never be mad at cats. They are the most reasonable of creatures.
They are willing to vibe with you pretty often, really. They're fuzzy and patient. It's awesome having a cat around.
(Side note: They embody 'don't start none, won't be none'. I don't want to be picked up or touched against my will, either. All their motivations make total sense to me.)

Is it the Umbrella corporation? 7 comments

I'm not a scientist but isn't turning a group of cells into stem cells bad? I know they get their signals of what to become from where they are, but like, what if all the area got sprayed? Would it be confused? Or like, because it's surface, it would be okay since the deeper area knows it's skin? I know this is a dumb question but I'm being serious.

I dunno. I feel like if history was taught more accurately, ppl would be better able to grapple with being non-important. Since history is taught badly, certain types of ppl think their ancestors or group did more by themselves than they did. They can't reconcile why their lives aren't awesome. Similarly if basic logic and certain historic conspiracies that fell apart were thoroughly explained, ppl would have a better sense of what humans can and can't do (hint: we're terrible at the large scale conspiracies anti-vaxxers, anti-science and anti-government ppl see everywhere.)

I get the joke BUT. The thing that really sells it is the slight peeling of the 'caution automatic door's sign. It looks like subtle world building in an actual film. Perfection.

The second amendment exists to ensure that your family doesn't get raped without consequences. It's literally - its not about having noisy toys.

Alcohol wasnt illegal, fully. The goal was to cut down on the number of families who were getting beaten and starved because the sole provider was drinking it away. A lot of better solutions were available, but hey, they all required changes to the one person who had full rights being able to drink away the only money available and beat up other smaller people with impunity. And THAT was an impossible ask.

I think also it's fair to say "experience" instead of "ability". People with highly limited knowledge of executing against something are bad at it, and don't know they are bad at it.
Related tangent? I heard someone (different context) break down the problem this way, talking about surgery skills - Step 1: high confidence, low competence. Step 2: low confidence, low competence. Step 3: higher competence, low confidence Step 4: high competence, high confidence. That is the proficiency curve.
The Dunning-Krueger effect has clarified so many things to me since Iearned about it. I'm grateful for it. Thanks for the post.

People just aren't all that interresting. 2 comments

It's not about whether people are interesting. It's just how it is with ADD. I feel vv seen by the post and not so much by the title. The less time spent coming up with a narrative relating to people for what is going on when your natural state is checked out, the better. If the person who made this post is neurotypical, good on you but you're not catching the full picture.

Ohh my word
The expectation that this woman will spend time and emotional labor interacting with men who are proud of trolling - it's just too real. Sending sad but heartfelt vibes her way. Maybe one day it won't be seen as automatically a woman's job to engage with P.O.S. to the point that morons blow right past the effort and audacity to post what they *label* as clever. It's like being attacked by lilliputians all the time, I swear. It's such a lovely dream that one day humanity will grow tf up.
