  • My dad is the sort of guy who thinks mental health is for chumps but you could see the concern in his eyes when I came back from college with my own diagnostic and started listing off the signs my therapist pointed out to me.

    He still won’t admit it, but he’s fanatical about his coffee, tells me he can’t turn his brain off without a drink (a separate issue), hates breaking his routine, etc etc. Not just a match for ADHD but a match that basically perfectly fits my particular flavor of it.

    Glad your kid is getting support at a better age, mine is too. They’ll handle it much better, hopefully, with the extra help.



  • Yeah I dont think 12 hours is feasible, anyway.

    By hour 10, are people really working with the same level of care as when they started?

    In healthcare that’s a much bigger concern than some middle-manager in a corporate office.

    Three 8:15 hour shifts, instead of two 12:15 hour shifts. Seems much more reasonable, adds 15 minutes total to work time.


  • Definitely can taste it. It melts into the toast first, and the peanut butter doesn’t, so the taste is more buttered toast + pb. It also softens the toast, so theres a distinct texture difference between that and just peanut butter on toast.

    Grilled pb sandwich is interesting though now imma have to try that.


  • It is indulgent for sure.

    But I mean, two sources of fat doesn’t make it redundant, they’re doing different things. The butter makes the toast not dry, and the peanut butter makes it creamy and adds flavor. It’s like a grilled cheese, cheese and butter are both fat sources, but they’re not redundant.







  • Its because its less propaganda.

    The agreement, according to OP’s source, would prevent them from seeking sources that aren’t official sources, and also locks down a lot of journalist interpretation.

    This means that the document basically says they gotta parrot whatever the government says to the press, and not do journalism about it.

    Fox news might live on propaganda, but they don’t want to be constrained by whatever propaganda the government is nice enough to give them, they wanna make their own.

    I think it’s most likely being rejected because they understand how a slippery slope works and are concerned that soon private media won’t be allowed.


  • Fulgora first is what I did. It was hard without foreknowledge, just because of the terrain. No details, OP might be spoiled, but that was a heck of a challenge for someone who doesn’t usually optimize for that particular issue.

    Fun though, and then I had the science for power armor , which is a massive help in every world.

    Anyway, OP, every planet makes each other planet easier. Gleba is centrally located, and while hard to automate, has as much iron and copper as you’ll ever need. It also can produce everything needed for a rocket launch pretty easily, so its a good spot for a self-sufficient outpost.

    The others each bring things to the table that make gleba easier, but gleba makes them easier too, so there’s genuinely no wrong answer.

    Fulgora is where I’d go if I wanted to kit up the engineer with the best equipment. Volcanus is where I’d go to kit up my factories. Gleba is where I go to kit up my science.





  • That’s quite a problem. You tend to get those by dividing things into black and white like that. I’ve known quite a few smart people that just still don’t care about English being imperfect, and I’ve met a few dumb ones that care greatly about details like word choice and ignore the conversation to focus on errors.

    Splitting the world between “people who do a thing you agree with” and “morons” is a choice, but its one I try to avoid as a rule.


  • Well I wasn’t more productive (or less productive), but I definitely feel less guilty. Since I’ve been fairly confident that stress from guilt has been preventing me from accomplishing anything, I’m gonna keep trying and see if that works out.

    Relatedly, do you find you have to make the list the day of? Is it more the repeating out loud that’s helpful? I expect for me, I’d be able to make a list the night before, but I don’t think I’d be able to make one further out than that without me just ignoring it completely.
