What type of routine do you have, Beehaw? (beehaw.org)
 

What have you been doing on a regular enough basis that it can be considered a routine?

Bonus points: are you the type to schedule out days for so-and-so activity, or do you like to wing it?

Nope, and apparently the mods agreed because someone just took it down quoting "bad take" as the reason, lmao.

What recipes have you made from food bank items that surprised you? (beehaw.org)
 

Oats, rice, beans, pancake mix, those gross canned peas...to anyone who has been to a food bank, this is a non-exhaustive list of things that tend to be staples in their pantry.

So my question is this, to anyone who has been to a food bank:

What are some meals that you've been pleasantly surprised when you made them out of the most common ingredients you got from the food bank?

For me, it's probably really simple black bean burgers.

Cook up some canned black beans, mash them while warm. When they're colder throw in some breadcrumbs and an egg, mash them more, add whatever spices you like, and then form them into burgers. Fry them with whatever oil or margarine or butter that you happen to have that week. Ketchup is surprisingly good on these.

I eat them on bread usually, since if I'm going to the food bank that week I probably don't have the money for buns and food banks here offer buns rarely.

Oh yeah, it's definitely more than just attention issues in class. Fun trivia: we have a high comorbidity rate with bipolar disorder. Did you know that? Our emotional dysregulation tends to be so bad that people with ADHD keep getting diagnosed with bipolar. How is that school based? What does that have to do with homework? Nothing! Yet, everyone acts like ADHD is just something that interferes with homework! It's frustrating.

Oh definitely. Let's talk about adhd for a second.

So first of all, everyone assumes the only issues it causes is with work and schooling. Once it affects your daily life, That's when allies start to eye you weirdly. Sorry, what do you mean that you can't do laundry right now because of "executive dysfunction"---even kids can do their chores if their parents bug them enough!

Secondly, resources are slim. Books are targeted towards teenagers in school, parents and their unruly kids, parents and their gifted kids...but there sadly isn't as many books on adult ADHD unless it's an organization book!

Next, let's talk about the depression and stress it causes. No one clues into that. Free therapy in my province is targeted towards warped thinking, which is great and all but doesn't help at all when it comes to adhd. I'm not necessarily depressed because I thought of the bad things that are going to happen--I'm depressed because I can't physically bring myself to do something productive right now. It's executive dysfunction, not sadness.

Just got a few books from my local library that I'm excited to start. I'm starting off with "Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD" by James M. Ochoa which I picked out because it was the smallest book in the ADHD category, ha.

I also got a book on Linux/Unix, Diabetes, a workbook for Bipolar, a healthy snack book, and an organization book. Not too too sure if I'll be able to finish it all by the time they're due, but its a nice varied selection.

Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play? in c/[email protected]

Ooh I didn't know there was a database for interactive fiction! Thank you!

Oh that sounds like a lot of fun! I didn't care too much for the building aspect of Minecraft, but I did enjoy the adventures.

Games that suprised you in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Genshin Impact.

Listen. I understand that the entire thing was hyped up upon release. It was, after all, a gamechanger for mobile gacha games. We went from turn-based games to things like Honkai Star Rail and Tower of Fantasy and of course, Genshin Impact. Honkai Impact 3rd existed, but it wasn't quite the same as these ones.

However. Despite the hype, there was a problem that made me reluctant to play it.

I really suck at gacha games. Every gacha game before then I would drop within what, 6 days? I love the characters, love the story, hate the game.

So imagine my surprise when I logged into my settings the other day and found out that oh, It's now been over 500 days logged, lmao. I've taken breaks from it once in a while, but I haven't quit it yet. What have I become?

Wait, what? Is that why everyone's recommending steam deck games? I assumed Steam Deck verified games required something like, an okay GPU. Its actually the voltage? That definitely makes my life easier, lmfao.

I have never heard of MUDs before---fascinating, that IS something I'd like to explore.

how’s your week going, Beehaw in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty good!

I dusted off my Beehaw account from when I left Twitter and I'm having lots of fun talking to you all in comparison to a lot of sites. I installed Linux and I'm enjoying playing with all the neat new software. Currently tinkering with templates in Zim Wiki while I wait for my potatoes to cook. I also got introduced to a few low-end games I never would've known about normally and I definitely plan on trying some out.

I was wondering if the site was being buggy haha. Saw that my comments took a while to post and had to refresh.

What are you cooking/eating this week? in c/[email protected]

Not too sure if I have tomato soup but I Do have a kinda gross (in that "this is probably not healthy for me, im eating it anyway" way) can of spaghetti that is calling my name, so thank you for the idea!

Goal-setting Thread (beehaw.org)
 

Hi everyone! Saw the announcement and immediately ran here.

My question is this: do any of you have any goals that you've been actively working on?

For me, I've been trying to work on my GED that I abandoned a decade ago. Signed up for courses and everything.

Another thing I am trying to learn is more about Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and how that can help me learn how to cope with stress.

Finally, I have major ADHD so I've been trying to do note-taking in my day to day life. Started journaling, taking notes on Youtube videos I watch that I think are important for me to remember, habit tracking, so forth.

How about you? What are you trying to do to better yourself?

What are some of your favorite Linux FOSS replacements for WIndows software? (beehaw.org)

Hi everyone! So I've recently switched to Linux and I'm having a lot of fun downloading software and replacing my old stuff with it. I'm wondering what you all use?

My switched softwares:

Obsidian -> Logseq - Obsidian is great and all but I think Logseq is also competent in its own way even without plugins. I am currently exploring templates to create my own daily journal/habit tracker like I did in Obsidian.

Word/Notepad -> LibreOffice - Seems to have a lot of options. Currently using the writer software for quick notes.

Canva -> Inkscape - I am aware that Canva is a website/android app, but I decided to switch from it to Inkscape by utilizing open source illustrations such as Undraw for graphics needs. I still need to look up tutorials on how to use it properly, though!

Clip Studio Paint -> Krita - I actually made this switch a month or two ago, but I'm really enjoying Krita a lot more than I ever did Clip Studio Paint. Less things to get distracted by, giving you more chances to learn how to utilize the essentials.

Things I'd like to explore in more detail:

  • Thunderbird as a calendar/email/task software
  • Whether or not I should stick with Calibre for book management
  • Kdenlive as a video creating program. I haven't created videos before, but it seems fun.

How about you? What do you enjoy?

Hi everyone! So I just switched to Linux and I am a little unsure of what to play on my laptop.

It's a presumably decent laptop, 16gb of ram and Iris Xe, but I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim.

I'm looking into things like emulation, finally tackling my Itch.io backlog, and bringing out old classics.

I like RPGs and text-based choose your own adventure games, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

Does anyone here like "studying" art? (beehaw.org)
 

I find that I really love learning how to improve in art. It brings me unrivaled joy to figure out things like how a hand looks doing this, or how to draw a head doing that.

However, I'm wondering if any of you like the process of art studies? I know that I tend to put them off because I'd rather be drawing cute characters doing cute things than doing a figure study for an hour. I like art studies as much as the next person does, I just find it more fun to draw personal projects and incorporate references as a way of studying.

Any other Krita users here? (krita.org)
 

Hello, everyone! I was wondering if anyone here enjoys using Krita? I started using it about a month or two ago and it's been a rather pleasant experience. The switch from Clip Studio Paint was smoother than I expected. It doesn't have a fancy brush shop like CSP does, but the brush customization is more intuitive than I expected and the ones I've found on the forum are nice too.
