On the bright side, I’m sure you occasionally get people insinuating you have a massive hog, right?

That’s only for specific fish parasites. Or else we could just freeze beef, thaw it and eat it raw.

I smash water. Drink a minimum half gallon a day. I want something different from time to time.

So continuing the analogy, to “not hand my wife a credit card,” I need to stop having conversations with her? Speak in short sentences that are harder to interrupt?

Nah, we’ll keep trying to improve ourselves and keep communicating with each other.

Sorry if you don’t want to feel bad about interrupting people.

It’d make more sense to compare it to another neurological disorder. Maybe BPD. One of the symptoms of bipolar disorder is impulse control.

If your partner is in a hyper manic state and keeps banging bar randos, that’s still disrespectful even if it’s a symptom of their disorder.

If they run up a credit card debt because it causes them tremendous mental effort to not buy things on a whim, it’s still harmful.

Now you might get into a relationship knowing these are possibilities, but you’re still hurt and/or damaged by them. It would make sense for you to make rules about your partner trying to get help and curb the hurtful behaviors.

And my wife is awesome. I don’t look down on her at all, I just get hurt feelings when I can’t get through a story after trying multiple times. I also have ADHD and 9 out of 10 times my thought is long gone by the time she’s done interrupting me.

Right? What options do we have that aren’t alcoholic or sickeningly sweet?

Just because it’s part of your diagnosis doesn’t mean it’s not rude.

I’m not going to be like “man I love being interrupted. It really makes the conversation fun.”

Just letting you know that it’s very appreciated.

My wife interrupts a lot and after a while it can make me feel under valued.

I didn’t think child labor still existed in China, just harsh labor conditions and low pay.

China’s government’s strict control of the media did, however, lead to me not questioning the social credit score thing.

Right? Now do Facebook.

I don’t know why everyone is defending body shaming as a shorthand for something undesirable.

It reeks of people saying they would never say the r word about someone neurodivergent, but defend it’s use for people they disagree with.

That and the edits of pizza cake are the two biggest things I miss.

And the porn, of course.

It sounded like the guy meant the 1700km/h is a velocity, not an acceleration, which is why we don’t feel the force of acceleration.

I was pointing out that spinning is acceleration, just in this case we can’t feel it due to other forces.

Have you seen the elementary school experiment where you spin an egg on a flat surface, then you stop the egg and let it go and the then the egg starts spinning again?

If the earth suddenly stopped spinning, the atmosphere would still be spinning at 1700km/h.

A cat 5 hurricane has wind speeds of 253km/h. So we’d be boned.

Not quite. When you’re rotating, you are constantly accelerating in a tangent direction to the diameter. So the poster is right that we should be feeling a force shooting us away from the center of earth.

Except the force of gravity cancels out the centripetal force and then some.

So [force of gravity] - [centripetal force of Earth’s rotation] = 9.8m/s^2

Yep, and unfortunately a lot of fascists on Reddit.

I do like how whenever a conservative Lemmy pops up, it has more trolls than users and the mods abandon it within a few weeks.

Aww does the wittle baby not want to die of mawaria?

Here I am watching scrambled Sex and the City, wondering when it will get to the good part.

Yep, it was the only habitable parcel of land in the world with zero inhabitants until 1832. Jewish people and Palestinians both saw this weird chunk of land and realized they could just move there since no one else was there.

Yep, the reason so many trumpers were shocked that Biden won.
