  • Now I have a bit more function, I want to address this. Being locked into myself while doom scrolling on the couch is not enjoyable. It’s not something I want to or should enjoy. It is distinctly unpleasant and a reminder of just how much I am a slave to my fucked up brains constant need for stimulation. I have things I will enjoy and WANT to go do and fucking can’t because I’m stuck to the couch or stuck in my chair, doing something that provides my brain immediately activity. It fucking sucks. And, when I talk about how ADHD preventing me from doing stuff sucks, there’s always someone who comes along saying something along the lines of “your productivity doesn’t define your worth =D it’s ok to not do anything!” And like. I understand what you’re saying and that you’re trying to help and that that’s probably something that’s positive to a lot of people but you just don’t understand that it’s not a job or a hobby or chores not getting done that sucks, it’s being a nonfunctional human being that’s the problem and that that positive platitude applied to THAT problem is saying “stop trying to be a functional human being =D” and that is so incredibly frustrating.

    I’m sorry, I understand the positive message you’re trying to spread but it’s… When someone complains about not being functional, telling them to enjoy their misery is actively unhelpful.





  • If this is at the beach landing, decent odds it was shore bombardment from some of the smaller weapons. The amount of naval fire directed at the opposing forces on the beach was incredible. My favorite little moment I’ve heard about from that was a battleship engaging a sniper nest that infantry had radioed in with their 16" main guns. There’s a naval historian on YouTube by the name drachinifels, I highly recommend watching his video on operation Neptune.
