@Dana @pippa

oh damn

why are people just waltzing up to it like that, isn't the army bomb squad supposed to deal with this kind of thing

@BeAware

i have started the ball rolling, but getting treatment in japan is a long road 👍

@BeAware

i can put more effort into avoiding the consequences than doing the work because the fear of getting into trouble makes the monkey brain work harder

advice/insight please

i spent a lot of my high school life just not doing work that i didn't like doing (see: all homework that wasn't history) and just avoiding the consequences (detention doesn't mean anything if you don't go) while still doing everything important (tests)

turns out those consequences are having zero tolerance for the parts of my job that i don't like doing/don't see as important, and that i also avoid doing them

is this an #ADHD thing or...?

"there is no crime in japan" tell that to the specimen who stole my daughter's birthday present out our mailbox

@Dana i went to New Zealand and simultaneously experienced reverse culture shock and culture shock at the same time

@Dana

market research done by Subway as to "why Japanese people don't like our bread"

@Dana Jesus, IV and all? Poor guy can't catch a break.

@Dana Glad to hear he's doing alright. Stay healthy yourself. When health shit comes at you it can often seem like it doesn't stop, so here's hoping. 🤞

@glen_malley @Dana

the UK equivalent just allows you to have an online page to manage your physical card's finances and... why is that so hard?
