Yeah yeah, attacked by Stamets again

Tbh I didn't even read the first part I just went straight to the bottom.

I played Factorio for 12 hours this weekend so obviously I'm fine.

I enjoyed doing game dev this weekend, made an hp bar and my lil dude has a double jump now

Motherfucker.

I was planning on going back and reading it later.

Fuck, every time

It literally gets me every time. I've seen this meme atleast 5 times now and not once have I not fallen for it

This just in: big fonts and small amounts of text surrounded by dead space attract attention.
Nah, it's the ADHD.
- Yeah but you'd think I wouldn't keep forgetting lol
I'm pretty sure I've even posted it here in the past lmao
I recently fucked up my file system so some communities are liable to get some reposts over the next couple months. I can't afford a new SSD and I've had to start ruining things ;_;
- What SSD do you like?

Inattentive is such a PITA. I've had a very, VERY successful career and can't help but think it's been all while doing life on hard mode.

Ouch. Why do you hurt me?

get out of my head thank you

No
<3

Not fair! The letters are tiny!

Dammit.

...

Shit, that's good.

The green 'circle' not being circular is hurting my brain.

Wow, I am called out.

Love you deary <3
- You too! <3 <3

I feel attacked

shit, I actually read them. Time to undiagnose

Time to undiagnose.
I know you're making a joke, but just for anyone else reading: not all symptoms occur at all times all the time.
- Also tha green circle should have a different colored wedge that says "read all of the middle part without retaining the info"
Me too, but I’m crediting that to my adderall this morning

Not only did I read one line in the middle, before jumping to the end - I completely ignored the existence of the top graph

I read the three titles, then the green description, read four or five random lines in the middle to satisfy my curiosity (make sure it was real things not random text). Closed the pic, got intrigued and re-opened it, and realized then that the first title was a section/graph and finally made sense of it. I did not read all the middle tho ! Should I get a diagnosis ?

hey! i read some of the lines..

But it hurts so good!

I was distracted by the legend colours not matching the pie colours and the green pie not being round enough. Didn't read the text obviously

The first thing I saw was that the green dot is fuzzy instead of being outlined in black Then I noticed that the pie was an oval.
You checked with a color dropper or what? :p
- That blue pie slice is definitely not represented in the legend

I've never felt more seen and attacked at the same time.

You know, if I wanted this kind of abuse I'd talk to my husband

Oh i hate that, do you want me to come over and beat him up? Wanna come have a sleep over? We can bake cookies and watch tv and you can meet my cats.
xoxo I'm not kidding ♡

Dammit

This is actually the meme that convinced me to get diagnostic testing. Hoping to get medication for ADHD soon, but the antidepressants are nice (except they make me poop. Like, a lot)

I thought everyone had twelve abandoned hobbies and functioned on the very edge of disaster at all times. No i don't have trouble focusing on the task at hand, I can play RimWorld for hours at a time

You should see my Warhammer collection of half painted minis, and my starwars armada collection.
While I show you that we can look at all my boardgames i haven't opened along with my lego collection
Oohh my swords for Hema too and my video games.
I have a giant list of started video games that I've never finished.
I've got a pushbike too and my boxing bag from kick boxing and it goes on and on
- I bet you also own but haven't played Star Wars: Imperial Assault, the ttrpg. I opened the box, started reading the rules, and suddenly I was playing poker in RDR2
Is that what making me poop all the time?
My psychiatrist warned me about stimulants also stimulating my bowels...but not the antidepressants. She warned me that would kill my sex drive, but that's about it.
- So (TW: TMI), I have had very loose stool since starting SSRI's. And when I have to go, I have to go! (One day I sneezed and did what my mother very patiently taught me not to do 43 years earlier.) I also get hot flashes at the same time every day (I'm biologically male), and have started needing to nap in the mid afternoon in order to function the rest of the day. On the plus side I no longer deal with feelings of ennui or that life is pointless, and my stress levels aren't quite as high, which is nice
- No the poop issue is you keep picking at it too much. Or not enough. I'm a shitposter, not a doctor.

Oh god, you got me

To be fair, that green circle is really big

And the text in the middle isn't only small but there's so much compression artifacts that it's hard to read.
- Can we get some more JPEG? I can almost tell what some of the colours are.

Jokes on you, I'm medicated!

Thanks for the reminder. So bad at taking my meds on weekends...

I'm in this infographic and I like it

Goddamnit.

…okay, you know what? i don’t need this shit.

I actually wheeze laughed at this one, well done

@Stamets oopsies

I don't have 3/12 symptoms in the middle. I can't even ADD correctly.

I read 3 of the points in the middle until I skipped to the green one...

I am disappointed that "getting distracted by squirrels" is not a slice of the middle pie.

Considering I literally had a conversation last week at game night where I said something along the lines of "we should build a wall to protect our settlementsquirrel!"

Hah, jokes on you I skipped to the green circle.

Oh god is this how I find… ooo… butterfly.

Too many words. Pass.

That was a little on the nose.

Pretty colors.

Haha purple color

That's where you're wrong kiddo! (I actually just read them to compare)

Ya I ain't readin allat

God damn.

~~Also, technically the green ~~circle~~ ellipse is mostly the 2nd half.~~
Nevermind, "above pic".

Sunuva bitch.

Also squirrel

Guilty

@Stamets its me and its TOO LOUD

I forced myself to read the middle and I identify with all of them but I failed (passed?) the squirrel test at a psychological examination so I'm officially ineligible for ADHD meds :(

I wonder how much of the middle tasks being read in a horrible order is part of the first one, the second one, the fifth one, the eleventh one, the tenth one, the seventh one, or the ninth one.

Pfffsh. “Tendency.” Amateurs.

What did you do!!!

@Stamets too bad there's no #altText, I can't share it.
