Don’t worry, I watch neither TV shows nor movies. I would just rather do something else with my time, like programming stuff, learning something new, and playing video games. If I am stuck with nothing to do I will watch something on YouTube. I think I would rather watch content made by real people instead of studios if that make sense.
I stopped gaming, watch almost no TV and it’s been like this for about a year. It just kind of happened. I’ve learned python and am getting the hang of bash, I’ve actually been making progress on my hip hopera about casual every day political extremism, I’ve redecorated my house using generative ai (in fact it’s what’s actually allowed me to work on my hip hopera because I do not sound great tapping even if I’ve got rhymes for days), repainted most of my home, refinished my bath tub, made an 8 foot tall demon statue out of cement that, while terrifying at first, I’ve come to feel quite a bit of fondness for. Also built my girlfriend a life sized turtle statue for her birthday, created a short comic book and action figure for a superhero alter ego for same girlfriend for Christmas , learned how to use a whole host of generative ai technologies, wrote a 60 page Star Trek the next generation erotic fan fiction which I’ve begun recording using audio AI models I’ve trained of the Enterprise crew for maximum effect (I’m ashamed this exists honestly but I’ll be damned if I let an abomination go to waste), replaced the faces and voices of every character in the empire strikes back with my face and voice and distributed to my friends, so many things.
It’s weird to look back on this last year and a) see all the things I’ve done and b) realize that there’s so many years where I did literally nothing
Where do you get your Adderall? I’ve tried talking to my doctor about it and he just says that I’m trying to take on too much, but I feel like I’ve been able to accomplish almost nothing this year.
Also, please share your fanfic when you’ve gotten it recorded.

I get my vyvanse from the pharmacy. Started it a few years back but I was never really productive about things until I lost my father to lung cancer. I’d always felt like life is short and tried to seize the day but it dawned on me that when I went I’d leave nothing behind. So I’ve been just… Creating. Learning how to create things j want to create but can’t. If I died tomorrow there’s be some evidence I was here, for a while anyway. It makes me feel more accepting of my inevitable death.
Also I’m definitely abnormal and pretty creative. When you stop caring about whether anything you make is good and just focus on the act itself you get better. It’s the damnedest thing.
