Gotta hand it to #landlords, somehow important shit like ACs & fridges break down only on holiday weekends.

Hi, Iโ€™m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. Iโ€™m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

favorite scene from halloween
#JohnCarpenter’s #Halloween is one of our favorite #horror #movies, and this is my new favorite scene ๐Ÿ˜† Also: I imagine #MichaelMyers talking to himself in #Beavis’ voice. #HeyLadies

My final #Eurovision rankings, in order: My top 3 The best of the rest OK songs elevated by the performers Mediocre songs elevated by the performers Songs save by at least one kickass synth sound (ie they suck otherwise) Forgettable songs that sound like ripoffs of other songs (like Loreen’s ‘winner’) & performances that fell flat Songs that were just plain BAD And finally: the two worst entries of Eurovision 2024

*Be easy on yourself. Have fun. Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it" - Amy Poehler
I finally learned to be a lot easier on myself about 3 years ago and it has made living with #adhd so much easier (so has #Stoicism and being intentional about whether something is worth the energy or not). If you had to give one tip to someone newly diagnosed with ADHD, what would it be? #ADHDTips #AmyPoehler

ChatGPT writes like cheap SEO from India ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ
One thing that really bugs me about #ChatGPT and #LLMs for #copywriting is theyโ€™ve been trained on a web full of crap articles written for #SEO purposes by people in #India who write in a forced style of conversational English. (NB: Iโ€™m #IndianAmerican.) Their writing is oddly long with way too many filler phrases and ChatGPT copies this garbage to a T. The second I see any sentence online start with โ€˜As you knowโ€ฆโ€™ or some other filler garbage I know where it originated. Granted, how #Indians write English is just a variant of the garbage academic writing style in the US, which uses different and snootier filler phrases with even longer sentences. Itโ€™s writing meant to impress someone for a grade or a pat on the back, and it took me a couple of decades to write more concisely & to the point. I just wish I could figure ...

Failing #DollarStores is a good thing. Now if we could only change the entire concept of #stocks and #shareholders to prevent a ridiculous focus on growth & numbers to building sustainable #businesses that pay #LivingWages and are not focused on squeezing profit from a stone.
