@siryouarebeingmocked nah, you still shouldn't make assumptions about people like that. There's this magical thing called... asking. ASK the person "Are you experienced with/knowledgeable about cars?" before just assuming they are or aren't based on whether the person is a man. If they are humiliated by the fact that a woman is knowledgeable with car mechanics, then frankly they deserved the humiliation. (I'm saying this as someone who is human and makes plenty of mistakes of my own, including making similar assumptions about people. Yes, it's embarrassing when that happens, and rightfully so! It teaches me a lesson in making unfounded assumptions about people, especially based on stereotypes!) There's nothing wrong with being humbled every once in a while - stop making these sexist mechanics out as being victims for not bothering asking people what their car mechanics knowledge is before just assuming.

I'll add that for people who have tried melatonin and it doesn't work. (Aka me) Who have night owl brains but Morning Person Jobs, TAKE NAPS if possible!

At least that's what works for me. In college I needed to get up at 7 am but that didn't stop me from going to bed at 3-4 am. What would happen is I'd sleep ~2 sleeping cycles before my alarm went off, and that was enough to get me through until the late afternoon, where I would finally get home and pass out, *actually* tired. Then, I'd sleep about 2-3 hours, and wake up in the early evening. It worked absolutely perfectly for me because I'd wake up before a lot of things closed, but I'd still get enough sleep, and most importantly *distribute* my sleep in a more efficient way. To top it all off, I know I'd be able to stay up until 3-4 am like I wanted to, which is also when I'm most productive, so I've been using this system for over 6 years and it's worked beautifully.

tldr: if possible, stay awake when you're not tied, and sleep when you are. If you're exhausted when you come from from school/work and wired in the late night, then just... take a nap when you're tired. You're probably not going to be doing anything productive anyway if you're that exhausted

When are we going to talk about how utterly over the top and ridiculous neurotypical advice for ADHD and sleep is?? It’s straight up fucking bonkers.

Someone with ADHD: I really really struggle to fall asleep at “regualr times”, no matter how tired I am I just can’t seem to fall asleep at 10 pm!!! But I almost instantly fall asleep any time after 2 am. What should I do?

NT sleep advice: You, someone who cannot conceptualize time in any way whatsoever, need to identify TWO HOURS in advance when you want to sleep and, with your executive dysfunction that makes making decisions at will almost straight up impossible, make the decision to stop whatever you’re involuntarily hyperfixating on. Then, you, with a focus disorder that makes it so that you have to be doing something at all times, sit and do nothing for 2 hours. You cannot read. You cannot be on your phone. Do not move. Do not talk to people. Just sit and do nothing. If you can’t fall asleep it’s because you Did Something and it’s your fault. Bluelight 24 hours before you want to sleep is the reason. Never look at a TV, Phone, computer, OR let one of these objects be within a 24,000 mile radius of you. Never ever go NEAR your bed unless you’re already asleep. If you are AWAKE in your bedroom ever you will not be able to sleep.

ADHD Sleep Advice: Get a job that starts at 2 pm or later and go to sleep at 4 am and wake up at noon.

As a Brazilian, I wholeheartedly agree! STOP TELLING US OUR LANGUAGE IS WRONG

Unpopular opinion

Stop saying Latinx.

Even Spanish speakers can’t pronounce it.

Spanish is a gendered language, you literally cannot “gender neutralize” Espanol. The masculine ending IS the gender neutral form of any word.

It’s extremely self entitled to believe you can suddenly start changing gendered languages, when there is ALREADY gender neutral endings in said languages.

It’s disrespect, because you must not understand these languages if you think it’s such a great idea. IT’S NOT.

Latinx is not the gender neutral ending. Latino is. Mexicano is.

Would you seriously walk up to a Spanish speaker and say “Ellxs son divertidxs, ¿verdad?” When talking about a mixed group of boys and girls.

No, because you’d look so, so stupid, if not confuse the Spanish speaker and also have a VERY hard time pronouncing that.

Stop it.

Ah, with gym memberships and stuff that makes more sense. I can see that adding up to ~300 a month easily for a lot of people. I'm lucky in that I only spend monthly money on gym and maybe one additional product, like a deodorant, soap, or hair product usually

I was calculating how much I spend on my hair (products + appointments) and jesus $3756 is the avg, insane

I had a dream once that a girl I knew was becoming the next God. Because I was acquainted with her, I got to participate in meetings suggesting things for her to do when she became God. Very soon into the meeting, someone suggested she smite Jeff Bezos and redistribute his money into healthcare, and everyone immediately and unanimously agreed. I spent the rest of the dream excited for it

I still remember the way she walked into my office, which is a good sign, as it only happened this morning.

I looked her up and down; mostly down, I’m pretty tall.

She had a face.

Her lips were saying hello but her eyes were telling a very different story, blinking in morse code about the assassin in the air vent.

She knew she had me right where she wanted me: at my desk, in my office, at 11am, the time we had scheduled for this appointment.

As she leaned in close I couldn’t help noticing the kind of details that would give you an uncomfortable degree of insight into the precise contours of the author’s sexual obsessions. It was awkward.

I promised her I’d do whatever I could, because promising to do whatever I couldn’t sounded dangerously illogical.

She reached over and took a swig from the bottle on my desk in a way that was clearly intended to be alluring and transgressive but honestly just felt a little rude, and besides there could have been absolutely anything in that bottle, window cleaner, who knows. As it happens it was only water — I’m trying to stay hydrated and kick the booze habit I picked up after the untimely death of my partner — but she still knocked it back and grimaced just for show.

This Dane meant trouble. (She was from Denmark).

this, my criteria for "authority figure" is so broad

an authority figure: [expresses slight, arguable disappointment in me]

me, shaking: Wow. Can’t Believe I’m The Worst Person Alive
