I Defeated the Demon Lord but it Turns Out the Demon Army was Largely Unaffected and I Fell Victim to a Flawed Belief in Great Man Theory

I Executed The Demon Lord With One Flawless Strike And After A Brief Power Struggle The New Demon Government Is Substantially More Committed To The War Because Of Some Reason I Don't Know

As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, one thing that’s been helping me grapple with the intense shame I have over all my “wasted potential” is accepting that potential doesn’t exist and never did.

This sounds so harsh, but please bare with me.

I procrastinated a lot growing up. I still procrastinate today, but less so. And yet, I got good grades. I could write an A+ paper that “knocked [my professor]’s socks off” in the hour before class and print it with sweat running down my face.

I was so used to hearing from teachers and family that if I just didn’t procrastinate and worked all the time, I could do anything! I had all this potential I wasn’t living up to!

And that’s true, as far as it goes, but that’s like saying if Usain Bolt just kept going he could be the fastest marathon runner in the world. Why does he stop at the end of the race??

If ANYONE could make their top speed/most productive setting the one they used all the time, anyone could do anything. But you can’t. Your top speed is not a speed you’re able to sustain.

Now, I’ve found that I do need to work on not procrastinating. Not because the product is better, even, but because it’s better for my mental health and physical health to not have a full, sweating, panicked breakdown over every task even if the task itself turns out excellently. It’s a shitty way to live! You feel bad ALL the time! And I don’t deserve to live like that anymore.

So all of this to say, I’m not wasting a ton of potential. I don’t have an ocean of productivity and accomplishments inside of me that I could easily, effortlessly access if I just sat down 8 hours a day and worked. There’s no fucking way. That’s not real. It’s an illusion. It’s fine not to live up to an illusion.

And if you have ADHD, I mean this from the bottom of my heart: you do not have limitless potential confounded by your laziness. You have the good potential of a good person, and you can access it with practice and work, but do not accept the story that you are choosing not to be all that you are or can be. You are just a human person.

He's suing them over it for $25M.

Wyland has said any financial recovery from the suit would support public art, ocean conservation, and environmental education through his foundation.

"This should have been an opportunity to show the world that global sports, public art, and environmental stewardship can stand together," he said. "Instead, a landmark was painted over. We want to do our part to make sure that what happened here does not become the standard for how public art is treated in cities across America."

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

to the casual observer it may look like i'm trying to summon a demon but anyone who knows me will realize that i am simply calling my wife

[underneath-the-skin]

The wife and the demon are the same person

[an-anxious-gay-mess]

The fact that these replies would mean wildly different thing had they been said on a different platform, such as Facebook, is absolutely hilarious

Do you love the disparity of the EA CEO's pay?

I'm sorry for doing this, but also I'm not. Andrew Wilson is the one who should be sorry.

capitalism likes to act like it’s the big grown up who takes life seriously but the entire system is based on such laughably childish goals that a fucking 6th grader could tell you it’s unsustainable. trying to always beat your previous profit record is not only an obviously impossible goal, it shows a complete lack of forethought, and is also, completely pointless. it’s not the shrewd mindset of a master strategist, it’s the impulsive drive of an addict, always looking for a better high. its the kid who eats too much candy on halloween and gets sick. it’s childish and honestly just fucking dumb.

This is beautiful. Is this the same lady that learned the iron fireworks technique too?

[ilovehumanssosomuch]

I'm posting this here because yes it's visually beautiful, but more importantly it shows the process of learning. It's not easy. It's scary. There's not a lot of people doing it.

It's beautiful because of the effort, not in spite of it. I feel like we don't value the effort of learning in social media posts, and this was incredibly done.

[Video transcript: Let's make lahsa, a wonderful Yemeni breakfast. it's cheesy, gooey, and so light you can finish an entire pan. Having it for breakfast will put a smile on your face. If you love shakskuka, lahsa's gonna make you unfaithful. Start by chopping a large onion, 2 large tomatoes, and some chiles. Sauté the onion in some olive oil--Al Wali, of course. Once the onions start to brown, add the tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, tomato puree, and any spices that you like. You're the boss of your lahsa. Add the chiles, and let the tomatoes cook till dissolved. Crack 3 eggs on top, add a splash of water, and mix it very thoroughly on low. Spread some liquid cheese* on top while it's cooking. You can also use cream cheese if you want. I think this is where the name comes from, the cheese being spread into a thin layer.

Cover, and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Garnish with some green. Have it with bread, a cup of tea, and enjoy.

*in the notes, several people suggest the liquid cheese is labneh

In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?

[stjohnstarling]

Yeah it’s one of the options on the Contact Support form:

[sharas-bae]

for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.

[stjohnstarling]

Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.
