This is why my notifications are always on DND.

I never have notifications turned on for the fediverse, despite how much I love it:

I do too, although I rarely keep a browser window open, except at work, when I'm (supposedly) working. XD

I feel attacked. XD

Let's just say it's a constant struggle.

My best productivity was probably for the first two weeks on my first #ADHD medication, and then it went back to normal, no matter how many meds I tried.

So, now I'm off all of the adhd, depression, and anxiety meds. I kinda used them to get a feel for what it was like for my brain to function normally, and I just do my best to maintain THAT.

Also, I keep harping on this like a freaking #INFLUENCER, but #YerbaMate has been the very best long-term ADHD remedy I've found so far. Very stable and strong uplift. Regular tea is like riding an escalator, coffee is like a rocket that explodes half the time, mate is like a 737.
Just perfect.

@rl_dane @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

It could just as much be the ritual as the actual actual caffeine or other qualities. I find rituals to be very strong factors in my own ability to focus.

@amin @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

No, not at all. Absolutely not a ritual, and the fact that I'm literally quoting the spice guy from Dune when preparing it doesn't mean anything at all. 🤣

Yeah. It's very ritualistic. Kind of like smoking a pipe, but it's a drink.

@tripplehelix @amin @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

Have you done both?

The mate + bombilla combo is very pipe-like.
The yerba itself is vaguely similar to flavored pipe tobacco, if... lol... grass were a flavor. XD

@rl_dane @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

You haven't had the lawn clippings Jelly Belly flavor?

@amin @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

Dude, Jelly Belly flavors are just WRONG.

And no, I haven't had that one. I've had popcorn, though, which is awful in that it's actually enjoyable. XD

Regular black licorice is still the worst flavor. :P

@rl_dane @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

That's one of their "beanboozled" flavors, though; the idea is they make identical-looking jelly beans with bad flavors, then mix theme with the regular ones. A kind of russian roulette, I guess.

I liked the black licorice ones, those were my favorites.

@amin @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

#TCK located ;)

My mom loves black licorice too, and she's not a TCK. 🤷

Interesting. I've not met any Americans my age or younger that liked licorice flavor.
Only my stepdad's age and older.

@tripplehelix @amin @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

Not too surprised, my general impression is that tastes in the UK are somewhere between US and the rest of Europe.

...US tastes being heavily skewed towards sweetness.

P.S., mainly talking about desserts. Tastes regarding other things are extremely varied in the US, and I know for sure Brits can't handle spice like we do. Particularly in #Texas. XD

@rl_dane @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

I need something chewy, ideally. Flavor-wise I like cinammon and licorice the most.

@amin @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

Now I want a cinnamon twizzler (or something similar, not just that one brand which is mediocre at best). That would be insane.

@rl_dane @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

I've had cinnamon licorice and it was glorious. Much thicker and fatter than a twizzler, though.

@amin @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

Twizzlers are honestly pretty meh. They're just the most well-known here. They don't have much flavor.

@rl_dane @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

Agreed. If I have a choice between 'murican candies, though, I usually will request it as one of them.

Twizzlers, Reese's (pieces or cups), and Hot Tamales. Used to love red hots but haven't had them in a while.

@amin @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

ooo, red hots are the little jelly bean-kinda-like things, right? No wait, more like Mike & Ike's, but cinnamon? Those are awesome.

@rl_dane @tripplehelix @alatartheblue @kudzu @dmoonfire @thedoctor @krafter @clayton @roguefoam @fbievan @orbitalmartian @joel @dm @sotolf @btp @adamsdesk @jlw_the_jobber @gorkmo

You're thinking of Hot Tamales, and yes they're made by the same company as Mike and Ike's.

Red hots are made by the same company as Nerds. And their website is giving me a 403 but maybe it'll let you through: https://www.ferraracandyshopusa.com/brands/red-hots

Redhots

These candies hit you from your nose to your toes. In the early 1930's, the Ferrara Pan Candy Company created the famous Red Hot using the same cold panned candy method used today. Whether you eat them by the handful, put them on birthday cakes or use them as a decorative touch to your gingerbread house, there are a million fiery ways to spice up your life.

Ah, yes! Those are way better than hot tamales!

How many total replies has this abomination of a #hellthread had so far? Is there an easy way to tell, other than counting them in tut?

Just counted... 124! XD
