I absolutely cannot believe that I held out on trying Linux Mint for this long. Feels more stable, more user-friendly (yet more customizable). Overwatch gaming feels a little less "odd". (In Ubuntu, there'd be some janky window handling). #linux-mint #linux-ubuntu #ubuntu #linux

cleaning up my desktop and found this little gem

1st panel: a man pours red paint into a paint tray
2nd panel: the paint touches the tray. a corner of the lines of the tray is not connected
3rd panel: the entire background of the panel is now red, as though the paint tool in MSPaint had been improperly used

I’m a little bit blown away at how incredibly educational and helpful www.languagetransfer.org/courses has been. I’ve been struggling with finding a beginner course for learning Spanish; I wish I found this sooner. #LanguageLearning #SpanishLearning #LearnSpanish #SpeakingSpanish

I’ve got Daily Tasks, simple Tasks/Reminders, Shopping lists, but also more obscure things like reminders for relationships or chores. And I’m just so surprised at how much seeing a number for the due/overdue reminders has helped; night and day difference.

For several days I was wondering why my productivity tanked; I was originally thinking that it was meds losing their effectiveness. Then I realized that I had converted the reminders app icon into a widget, which removed the red dot with numbers on it. Silly but effective.

I’m hoping that i fixed my #ADHD productivity problem. Sure, meds were critical, but also having the proper productivity system in place is also important Surprisingly, mine was the #iOS reminders app; not only that, but I had to see its badge numbers and how many reminders were due. #nuerodivergent

Neurodivergents will be like ‘I’m so tired’ and then refuse to sleep because they haven’t had enough me time after surviving the day 🤷‍♀️

Feel overwhelmed by your to-do list? Try making a to-don't list, of things you don't need to do. Mine for today includes: - get haircut - dismantle and rebuild TV - learn to speak Farsi - invent velcro - cause small earthquake in east Nebraska - kidnap a Klingon I haven't done any of them. Success!

OpenRCT is fantastic. Just make sure you don’t have any life goals for the next 3 months.

I definitely don’t have a grudge against #Netflix

“Netflix to open their own restaurant”

A comment below that image shows:
“Are you enjoying your meal sir?”
“Yeah it’s amazing!”
“Splendid” *Removes it from the menu*
