I find it easier to think of it like bad eyesight, rather than a disease. We usually think of diseases as things that eventually go away, especially when there are medications for them, and that doesn’t happen here.

Some people are born with good eyesight, and they can see everything clearly right from the get-go. Some people can’t, and they need the external modifier of corrective lenses or, no matter how hard they try, the world will be blurry. So, they wear those corrective lenses every day just to function in the world.

Taking meds for ADHD is more like that.

Don’t think too hard about how much further you have left to go; road hypnosis is your friend. I’ll often finish up several hours of a long drive without even really noticing it, so long as I’m not constantly checking the ETA. If you’re not driving in the middle of the day, getting tired can be an issue - I like to make sure I get a lot of sleep before a long drive, and sometimes even change my sleep schedule for a couple days beforehand if I’m going to be driving while I’d usually be asleep. If I’m really worried, I might buy an energy drink or two, but I usually only do that for 10+ hour drives.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive, though. Even if 99.9% of a species fits in perfectly with the environment, if that last little sliver destroys everything, and the rest of the species is unable and/or unwilling to stop them, then we destroy everything anyway. Sure, it may not be ALL humans, but it’s still humans.

I only have 176 open now because I accidentally closed them all a few months ago and couldn’t get them back.

If a person drinks 3 liters of water a day for their whole life, that’ll be about 100k liters total. Assuming it takes about a minute of actual drinking time to finish a liter, that’s only 100k minutes, or 1,667 hours of drinking time, so it’s no wonder we’re not experts.

I always thought I was too ugly for people to be attracted to me. Eventually I cleaned myself up a bit, got on a dating app, and found the woman who is now my wife. I was proud of myself for becoming someone who could be attractive. Since then, 2 girls I knew in school have told me they had a crush on me… Like, why didn’t you say anything!? It was obvious I had no idea!! I now think everyone must have at least one person who’s yummed by their yuk.

More like “On my way to completely ignore 100% of the voters after I won the election with 46.09% of the vote.”

I find that the tired part is easier to swallow if you instead think of it an a happy opportunity to put on some music and rest your eyes.

There’s plenty of lists online that’ll give you a good rundown of the popular ones, but my absolute favorite is a hidden gem called Steambot Chronicles. It’s got so many different things to do packed into it, from fighting with giant customizable robots to playing a bunch of instruments with unique rhythm mechanics, to hustling pool. Plus the storyline splits based on dialogue choices you make, leading to a few different endings including a couple where you join the bad guys. It’s just a really fun game that I’ve played more times than I can count.
