I'm old and out of the loop but that astroturfing was so blatantly obvious it pinged my BS meter immediately.

Interesting. I always wanted to play the drums but figured I was too uncoordinated.

OP, this person knows what they're talking about. One of the screening questions when I was diagnosed with ADHD had to do with clumsiness. My own parents used to call me, "An accident waiting for a place to happen."

I have slowly been able to improve my clumsiness a little bit, by exercising regularly with a trainer 5 days a week. One of those days is a balance-focused day and after 2.5 years I'm actually able to hold poses and (mostly) stay upright and steady. But it was SLOW going.

The night before my 50th birthday, after I had been taking this class for 7 months, my husband and I were on a sunset cruise and his phone fell out of his pocket and over the side of the ship. I reached out with one hand and successfully caught it. THAT KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!

I celebrate that day every year as much as my birthday now. I managed to show off hand eye coordination before I was 50!

Get screened... :)

I vape most evenings after 5pm. I have ADHD and comorbid depression and anxiety. The strains I like to vape keep me motivated and help me unwind, enjoy my evening, get things done around the house, and stretch/do yoga, or some gentle exercises before bed.

I fall asleep easily each night after weed helps me get all that done. I dream just a little, and they're often lost the minute I stand up.

When I take a break, every few weeks or over vacations, it's harder to go to sleep initially, but my dreams are a little more vivid when I do.

My most vivid dreams occurred when I was taking Prozac, which wrecked my body in every other way, so I don't associate dream intensity or recollection with overall health anymore. I'm physically and emotionally much healthier off Prozac, vaping weed most nights, than I ever was on the stuff.

Edit: Seeing some usage discussion, I go through about 1/2 an ounce every 4-6 weeks vaping with a Volcano.

I have found that by brute force hitting the button between Subscribe and Pending enough it eventually switches to "Joined". I'm not proud of my troubleshooting method.

It's "safe" to work out but you'll want to make sure you aren't compromising your form any due to being sore.

I'd suggest making today a lighter weight workout or just focusing on cardio. Getting your muscles moving will increase the blood flow, which will help speed up getting things back to normal.

I don't mind if you take Earl Gray for your tea, or simply earl gray. It's things like neglecting to put in paragraph breaks and a complete lack of punctuation that really bother me.

I also have a bias against u/ur etc. but I'm annoyingly pedantic about things like that. If Weird Al mocked it in "Word Crimes", it's likely on my list of peeves.

I believe Reddit is to blame... because everything bad comes from them right?

And I fully support your hypothesis here!

Regardless of how you choose to write things out, it's always good to see another feline based username in these parts.

Yes, servers can disable downvotes. Beehaw does that, for instance. I'm on lemmy.world which allows both. I prefer both because I think it helps silence bad faith participation with less active moderation, but I respect that some places don't want it.

Yeah I thought that whole "plea deal" was just a joke from a malignant narcissist, not a real plea deal.

This is great but I've turned it off because sometimes I want to go back to a post I've recently read to see new comments.

I really wish there was an option to hide posts I've downvoted. It's still early days so I imagine that will come later.

Thanks for the PSA!
