I want this except there’s also a built-in washer/dryer/steamer combo built into the loop. Toss dirty laundry into a hole in my closet, press a button, a machine scans the tags and applies the proper washing technique to each individual item of clothing. Clean clothes come out of the other side of the loop, already on the hanger and ready to wear.

Honestly, we need more ADHD-friendly accessibility features in life overall.

I really hate that ADHD doesn’t get taken seriously as a disability, because having it certainly makes me feel disabled compared to most people.

Same. I do it while petting him. He gets lots of chin/cheek/nose rubs from me so she doesn’t even notice what I’m doing. Just thinks he’s being pet.

Agreed; I always let my cat smell things that I’m holding/working on because they clearly are interested in what their human is doing. That way he can get a better idea of what’s going on and feel like he’s helping.

It goes both ways too:

What makes you say that? In my experience, Torties are generally shy and don’t really exhibit any mischievous behaviors. They’re perfectly happy with hiding under the blankets all day long, only coming out once in a blue moon to eat, poop, and greet their preferred human of choice. They don’t have much ambition at all and couldn’t care less about going outside, unlike most cats.

Oh yeah they really love and appreciate a good view. Especially if there are birds and other small wildlife nearby.

The secret to get a cat to use a bed is to place it in a spot they already like to hang out at. My cat was always sitting on an end table to look out the adjacent window, so I stuck a bed there and he couldn’t be happier to lay there all day long now.

Edit: Placing a warming pad where you want them to sit works wonders too.

Seriously, just blanket ban all religious symbols and references—crosses, yarmulkes, star and crescent, head coverings, etc.—and call it a day. You go to school to learn, not to indoctrinate.

TBF, I have yet to see a phone implement burn-in protection features. They’re designed to be replaced within 2-3 years because phone manufacturers are greedy assholes.

(FWIW I left some of the burn-in protection turned on on my TV, just turned the annoying pixel dimming stuff off.)

Sorry I misunderstood your comment.

Literally cannot relate at all.

I know but the point I’m making is that it’s not his fault. I mean the guy basically campaigned on being a centrist.

Well to* be fair, Obama only had control of both the senate and the house for his first 72 days. Enough time to get some things done, but not a lot.

But I agree that he could have done more with the power he did hold throughout his presidency, as Trump has shown. Obama could have went buckwild with the executive orders. But alas, hindsight is 20:20.

Over 70% of the country wants him gone, but from an outsider’s perspective, all they see is the fact that we voted him in.

It’s going to take a very long time to undo the damage caused by Trump. Nobody is ever going to trust the United States again, unless we put safeguards in place to ensure that someone like him can never gain this level of unchecked power ever again. And I just don’t see that happening in any of our lifetimes.

BTW, you can set a do not disturb schedule on your phone to automatically silence it. I even do location and consciousness-based routines for my phone. That way if I’m asleep or at work, my phone automatically silences itself, and then turns the ringer back on once I wake/leave work. Every modern phone has this capability.

My strategy is to simply don’t. If it’s important, you can text or leave a voicemail.

One benefit of never picking up the phone is that I never get spam calls ever.
