What a fascinating question! I hadn’t previously considered this.

For me, the coffee helps lol

I used to be the same :) But a while back, I was hospitalized for severe depression. I learned in IOP that doing something you love to warm up for the day - instead of immediately pursuing productivity - improves happiness and helps me look forward to the day instead of dreading it and making it hard to get out of bed in the morning.

I do as well. It’s a lot of work, but at this point, it comes naturally.

If you’re looking to bolster any routine: my unsolicited advice is to add stuff to your routine slowly over time. One thing at a time. If you jump into a whole new routine, you’ll burn out and abandon it. It definitely takes some building and patience.

Oh, a morning routine! It’s my favorite part of the day and something I’m oddly passionate about!

Most importantly, I make sure to go to bed at a reasonable time the night before, and i leave my curtains open to let the sunlight wake me up naturally. Just in case I’m extra sleepy, I set a vibration alarm on my phone and place it under my pillow for backup

After I wake up, I:

1. Head to the restroom

2. Sluggishly make my bed

3. Go downstairs, drink a glass of water to hydrate, and then brew some coffee

4. feed the cats

5. Then I drink coffee and watch TV for a bit while I wake up and wait for the caffiene to kick in

6. Shower, brush teeth, apply deoderant, style hair, shave stubble, apply cologne

I have really shit mental health, so I have to take extra care of myself and be very intentional about my actions. My morning routine is a sacred part of the day and helps me enjoy being alive :)

All of this is completely normal, yes. However, frequency and intensity are typically the separating factors between neurotypicals and those diagnosed with ADHD.

Gavin?

This is wildly incorrect. Where the heck did you get this data from??

I’m not sure if I understand how hotel AC functionality is devoid of comfort. Wouldn’t a functional AC also be indicative of comfort? Definitely better than a Non-functional AC i suppose.

The trick is nuance. Being bombarded constantly by meaningless ragebait is not healthy, but it it very important to remain informed.

Because she is a public figure and a politically exposed persons

Libertarians can be both Left or Right, Libertarianism is just the opposite of Authoritarianism. Left/Right just indicates economic policy.

Huh, a very intriguing thought; thank you for sharing

Very interesting! Im going to research this more later! Thanks for the information!

Oh interesting! I was unaware that German didn’t contain gender neutral pronouns. Is German a gender heavy language similar to Spanish?

Fair enough!

Oh, easily fixed: If you aren’t able to tell if someone identifies as Masculine or Feminine; there’s a solid chance that they’re Non-Binary. If you aren’t sure though, its always safe to refer to and think of someone as “They/Them” and Non-conforming to traditional gender roles.

Gender Identity is not human nature, but rather the product of culture and language association. There have been plenty of cultures in recorded history with multiple - what we would call today - Gender Identities.

Language and its impact on perception of reality is a very interesting topic of study.

Typically I’d agree, but in this day and age and its emphasis on efficiency and lack of free time individuals get to spend with family and/or have a hobby - knowing how to prep nutritionally healthy foods in under 5 minutes can go a long way.

I eat a lotttttt of Soup, Frozen Vegetables and Frozen Protien. Its not glamorous but its better than spending an hour cooking every day.

Also, I hate cooking.

Have you ever heard of the Dark Forest theory?
