I feel as though what drives most rude / inconsiderate behavior I experience IRL on a day to day basis comes from a place of having this unearned and unnecessary sense of urgency in situations that aren't actually urgent. I think if more people became aware of this completely unnecessary sense of urgency in situations that actually aren't urgent, it might make co-existing and sharing public spaces with other people a lot easier and more tolerable.
That text post that's been making the rounds that goes something like "Omg you made it to the same red light as everyone else but faster and more dangerously and recklessly, should we call nascar? Do you want a medal?" summarizes exactly what I'm trying to talk about.
It's like when I have to change buses at one of the bigger and busier bus stops, and the people who get off the same bus as me shove and elbow past me to get off before me, and then shove and elbow past anyone even slightly in their way on the way to the bus they're switching, only to end up on the same bus as all the people they shoved and elbowed with several minutes to spare before it leaves and plenty of open seats left.
I think this unnecessary urgency a lot of people feel in their day to day lives drives a lot of bad behavior. I'm not saying I'm innocent of this, I've felt it too in plenty of situations that didn't call for it, and regrettably was less kind than I should have been as a result. But I try to be aware of it, and always try to ask myself it it's really as urgent as my lizard brain is trying to tell me it is, and even if it was that urgent, does that still justify unkind behavior?
Is shoving or elbowing another person aside going to make the difference between whether or not you make it to the bus before it pulls away? (hint: at least where I live, most of the time that's a no because the drivers usually won't leave if they see people from another bus heading towards their bus). Is shoving and elbowing people aside in a crowded grocery store going to make any noticeable difference in how quickly you get your shopping done?
Does a few extra seconds of time actually justify cruel and unkind behavior towards people you perceive as slightly inconveniencing you?
Someone pointed out to me once how a lot of people, when out grocery shopping, amble through the aisles at a leisurely pace, maybe checking out this new product or that tester... But when the time comes to queue for checkout, all of a sudden everyone is super impatient and not leisurely at all.
That fully rewired my brain.
Ever since then I've tried to keep that in mind when I shop. If I'm not hurrying through the store, I'm not gonna be impatient in line for checkout.
A while ago I had a commute I did during rush hour once a week. I was delightfully NOT in a rush, because it was from university and my last class finished a good hour before I would need to leave to get to my destination
You know that feeling you get when youāre stuck in traffic but the lane youāre not in is moving a little? Like āgoddamnit I should have changed lanes last time I had the chance. Maybe I should try and squeeze inā. Even though I wasnāt in a hurry I still caught myself wishing I had predicted the future and picked the faster lane
So I decided to try a little experiment
Each week when I hit the bad traffic I would pick a car in the other lane to āraceā. (One with a memorable number plate, or better yet an unusual vehicle or color that was easy to spot at a glance). I wasnāt allowed to change lanes, and if the other car did then I had to pick a new one
And then we raced
Often I remember seeing the other lane moving, and my chosen opponent pulling ahead. Frequently far enough that I lost sight of them entirely. āWell, Iām never seeing that guy again,ā I would think, looking for a new target
Except that I would. Pretty much every single time, I would catch up, and even overtake them. Over and over, on every trip, if I didnāt try to weave between lanes Iād end up near the same car. If my lane was moving and the other was stopped it FELT like I wasnāt able to go as far/fast as they had been, but overall that wasnāt true.
Sometimes I would even get to race a car who was doing the lane change thing. (Usually because I made a mental note of āthat guy is driving kinda dangerously, Iād better pay attention to themā and then ended up remembering which car it was.) And almost invariably, I would catch up to them at some point. The cars that were switching lanes depending on which one was actually moving/moving faster STILL ended up no better off than the rest of us
I think about those trips a lot when Iām driving somewhere and getting twitchy because Iām running late or whatever. Yes itās frustrating to be stuck in traffic, yes I could try to shorten the trip by making risky decisions, but that would just make me feel stressed out about the driving itself and would it actually get me there sooner? Probably not
being an everything crafter is great but also sucks. like i want to get my watercolors out but i need to put away my microcrochet first. i want to do some leatherwork but my oil paints are on the table. i want to whittle but i'm using the bucket i catch wood shavings in to hold my papermaking mush. i want to write my book but my hands are too busy knitting a sweater. i want to code another video game but i'm too busy studying nalebinding. do you see my problem. the problem is that i need more hands
This is how I realized i was neurodivergent. My diagnosis of ADHD shocked no one.
Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:
Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need
The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to
You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking
No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)
Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.
Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!
Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.
This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

So one of the things that can apparently contribute to kidney issues in cats is if they eat too much dry food and don't drink enough water; cats are adapted to get a lot of their water from their food since they're originally desert animals, and might not get enough water if they don't eat wet food. Unfortunately, Dozy won't eat wet food no matter what; she categorically refuses to touch the stuff. So a few months ago, we were looking for ways to get Dozy more fluids, and my wife noticed at the pet store a cat drink--basically meat broth with some floaty bits in--that was low-protein and meant for cats with kidney issues. So we figured, worth a try, right?
Great news: she loved it. Super tasty apparently. Great success. Along with the kidney-sensitive treats we found, it was a nice way to supplement her diet. Unforseen long-term consequence though: she loved it so much she began demanding it throughout the day. Like, would come up to us and meow, and meow, and meow, and not stop, until we got up, went to the kitchen, and got her some cat drink.
And by doing so on demand, we have unfortunately created a monster: no matter what we are doing at home, Dozy knows that if she sits next to you and meows, 1) you know what she wants, and 2) you know that she will not stop until you get it for her now. And when you do get it, she gets extremely excited. She will bum rush the kitchen door as you enter. She will run around your feet as you open the can. She will let out the creakiest, crunchiest, most nails-on-the-chalkboard meow you've ever heard if she thinks you're not going fast enough.
I do not begrudge her this. It is gratifying to care for a creature whose most ardent desires are so simple that it is this easy to fulfill them. But I am a little sad, because I know in my heart that I have never loved any comestible as much as she loves this cat drink. She has a pleasure of a purity and intensity that I will never know.
[the creacher in question]
Drop the deets of this feline ambrosia? My cat is supposed to eat more wet food for kidney reasons but she just licks all the juice off and leaves the rest, which is a very inefficient and expensive (for her human) method
its rude to reblog things from people you arent mutuals with fyi. :/

it's true and you should say so louder
I don't know any of you, hitting the reblog button.
Pin-Lee suggesting that Murderbot start reacting to its injuries more to let humans know itās been injured after realizing that itās been casually walking around after a fight leaving a trail of Fluids. Itās like āI could.. probably write some code for that I guess.ā and Dr. Mensah is like ādonāt worry about it if it would be distracting to you. Justā¦. tell us afterwards. We want to know how youāre doingā and itās like āi can give status reports yes.ā
Pin-Lee is like āI still like the idea of you giving an indication youāve been hit. For example.ā she points finger guns. āBang oh no I have definitely hit you with a projectile. Indicate that somehow.ā
Murderbot, with extremely flat inflection which would not immediately seem like a distress call to nearby humans: āOuch. I Have Been Injured.ā
Pin-Lee is like āhm no thereās gotta be some sort of. I donāt know, you donāt have to verbalize if you donāt want to, maybe thereās like an alarm noise you could make? or an āAAA!ā sound? Okay letās try again BANGā
There is a brief delay (less then a second) and then Murderbot responds with damage vocalization option 2.
