Thanks. I've tried enough things to have a pretty good idea of what I will and won't like. I love biking - I used to be in a mountain bike racing league - so I know that one will be a win once the weather gets better. The hard part now is getting past the executive dysfunction and actually signing up for some things.

I am. Actually, that's part of the concern. I've been fairly sedentary the last several years and my cardio is garbage. I bought a new bike last month and have been trying to get out for rides, but the weather has had other ideas. I don't really enjoy exercise for its own sake, so I'm also looking into some sort of prepaid fitness classes to keep me accountable.

I was diagnosed with ADHD after I quit smoking and my symptoms went crazy a couple of years ago. Took meds for a while, and now my doctor's taken me off them while we sort out some potential heart concerns. The meds helped a lot and now I'm back to bad symptoms and chaos brain. This is the first time I've missed cigarettes since I quit; it's crazy how much they helped.

I'm going to get one, though not right at launch. I skipped the Switch, and the backward compatibility sold me on the 2 because it means I can still play original Switch games, plus have access to anything interesting that comes out in the future. I also like that it's a little bit bigger.

If I already owned a Switch I would probably skip the 2, at least until there's a reasonable used market for them.

Coffee = brain wants to nap, body is vibrating too hard to relax.

Hey, for once an obscure reference I understand!

I've been in two abusive relationships as an adult. Two years with a woman who I'm pretty sure had BPD. Five years with a man who hits all the markers for NPD. This tracks, based on my anecdotal experience.

I'm only a mensa genius

There's your problem. You need to be a stable genius for any of it to make sense.

The ultimate irony is that the first popular incel support community was started by a woman.

That's pretty much where I'm at as well. My riding is currently blue, and every piece of mass-mail propaganda I've gotten from the current MP has used a lot of words to say an awful lot of nothing.

I've generally voted NDP, but they need to make some leadership changes. I don't believe that the current NDP leadership would be effective in handling the overgrown toddler running the show in the US, and PP would hand us to him on a silver platter. I don't actively dislike Carney so far, so at least that's something.

Eggs are a staple food and an ingredient in an absolute fuck ton of things. They're also very nutrient-dense and a major source of protein for vegetarians and people who can't eat meat. Sure, you can just not buy eggs but that's not realistic for everyone and it doesn't stop the price of everything that includes eggs as an ingredient from going up.
