Android had a system called Digital Wellness that didn't work so great for me, but changing my Default Browser to Firefox Focus, and having no autocompletes and saved settings between sessions is great for not falling down an internet hole. I also dug up a cheap Fire Tablet I have and made that the device in my room. I still use it more than I should, but it's slow and uncomfortable enough to keep me on track.

I'm slightly annoyed that they killed off the one of a kind Daughter of Data character and then it turns out, "nah it's fine, she has a sister" and they know this because an intrinsic part of the hyperscience (that may or may not exist) that they are using is that there's two of them, cause of reasons. But other than that, the tone is interesting in that it's a Star Trek show that's more following a character rather than a ship or a crew. I'm in for at least the rest of the free month.

Long story short, I was on Adderall for a bit and it didn't do a whole lot for me, and I'm haven't seen a doctor about this in a while since nothing really changed the last time I saw one. I have a bit of the same reservations as @asoftbird on medding up again, and am weighing in on whether I should just make piece with trying again and becoming a productive automaton, or if I'm good enough as is as an unproductive lump.

Also, the Good Place committee are surprisingly duplicitous, maybe the ennui of no consiquences got to them too and that's why they're nowhere near as moral as they should be?

I get it in that a fraction of a platform for an already depreciated listing is a very small number to bug test for, but at the same time, kinda stinks too. Hopefully 3rd party servers become a thing.

This is kind of a big deal, because on one hand, Tesla is no longer shut out of the state due to odd servicing rules, and Michigan recognizes that the law is untenable.
On the other hand, the Automotive Industry is kind of a really, really REALLY big deal in these parts, between the GM-Ford-Chrysler triumvirate and the UAW, so this probably means storms a comin'.
