Pride, like most emotions or feelings, exists on a range. You can be proud of all of these things, including your achievements; it's the degree to which you carry that pride that determines the "douchebaggery," don't you think?

The sports team, I would say, probably has the lowest "douchebaggery threshold," as the spectator is so far removed from the team—especially for professional teams—whereas the others carry more involvement and/or stake for its community.

Although this wasn't really what I was asking at the time, it's good general advice, and I'll try it out. Thanks for your time and input.

I've actually been off my meds for a minute. I haven't had serious issues, but I definitely need to go refill...

Good analogy. Thank you for the thoughtful response!

Hi! Unfortunately I got sick for Christmas and had to stay home; but as I was trying to rest, it almost felt like I physically could not keep up with my mind. It felt uncomfortable to think idly, and of course there wasn't much I could do to help that. Not sure if I tried meditating, and if I did, I didn't say "I'm gonna meditate now," if you know what I mean.

I've tried looking it up and the results mostly talk about "brain fog," and while that may have been a small part of it, I wouldn't describe this experience as such.

Has anyone else had this experience? Like normal ADHD brain is exhausting and hurts while sick?

I've absolutely done it before because I'm weird. Entering 1:90 (on my Kenmore microwave) ticks down 1:89... 1:88... etc. until it hits 1:00 at which point it will continue as normal to 0:59.

1:60 behaves similarly.

I have a feeling the "add 30 seconds" button will correct it to proper time format, but I'll test it for science.

This is the way.

Yeah, I guess left-leaning white males are just as underprivileged and oppressed as people of color and women. We should rename it to "conservative white male privilege."

~40 hours literally a few days ago. Had a project due date through which I procrastinated heavily. Not proud of that one.

I don't think I experienced any hallucinations, but it sucked. What was weird was that by hour ~33, I tried going to sleep, but failed and ultimately got back up. Hopefully never again.

Edit: just occurred to me as well that of that time, I worked for 20 straight hours. Don't be like me.

In about five hours I'm getting rinsed by my MMO of choice.

Xaku Prime Access, baby T_T

Yep. It's hard to point that out when my reasoning gets sucked into a circular black hole.

I'm done responding. People that can be helped can read this thread in the future and maybe realize something about themselves.

You think you're perfect. You are not. No one is. I am not saying you are a racist. You are a human with human biases.

What you've just told me is that you have no interest in discovering and changing yourself to help make a difference. Not to be on any sort of moral high-ground, but I have a really tough time with people that have no desire to learn and improve.

What I'm going to ignore is your assertion that philosophy is not relevant to daily life. That is the stupidest claim in this thread, and it is at the very core of your (subconscious) bigotry. If you can't see that, then there is no next step.

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
