Consumers are advised to check whether tea bags in their region are even made of these materials.
Edit: Also, “billions”? The cookie warning is borked on the foodandwine.com article so I can’t read it but: https://www.dpa-international.com/trends-and-features/urn:newsml:dpa.com:20090101:250109-99-540705/ “Tea bags releasing ‘millions’ of microplastics into tea, study shows” - where does that difference come from?
polymer-based commercial tea bags
This is important. Tea bags can be made from a variety of materials, in Europe that’s usually plant matter. So literally keep calm and drink tea.
Ask your parents to take you to a psychiatrist and have you tested for ADHD. Throw things at them until they say yes.
Ah yes, I should’ve figured.
Any explanation why the elk did that? (Other than “because he can”, of course)
You may have seen it by now, but just in case: there’s a bunch of us in the comments whose experience of their ADHD is exactly like yours :)
So, uh, hey, that’s one aspect in which you AREN’T weird ;D
Oh oh oh I know what that expression means! 😀 What bad movie did Penny watch then that made her angry?
The fuck are you on about? Where is any of this in your original post? What does it have to do with anything?
“Meme” is not another word for “joke”.
Edit: lolshit wall of text about ADHD of all things. Sorry!
Attention DEFICIT is a misleading term. It’s more an issue of not being able to willingly direct your attention.
That’s why ADHD brains hyperfixate on something and we’re are unable to switch to something else, even though we KNOW we should/want to/have to do the other thing - we can’t direct our attention away from the thing our brains are hyperfixating on.
What sometimes looks like rapid “task switching” is again the inability to direct our attention so it flips around uncontrolled.
This also often leads to a weird state of paralysis where we’re doing absolutely fuck all because we can’t activate our attention properly but we’re yelling at ourselves on the inside to DO THE FUCKING THING YOU FUCKING LAZY SHIT.
For ADHD brains to be able to consciously, actively direct attention, there needs to be some immediate reward. It can’t be some vague reward that might come in the future, like “you won’t have back pain when you’re old (so exercise!)”. That doesn’t work.
For me (and others, I hear), it’s often the thought that others are depending on me doing The Thing. That’s why I was absolutely insanely good at organising shit in my last job - my coworkers depended on me having prepared all kinds of data. Without this reward, I am completely useless at organising stuff.
Unless it’s interesting, of course, which is again an immediate reward.
Does this sound in any way like you?
Edit: and did you have trouble directing your attention to get through this text? :D
“I am very self-reflected and think carefully about everything.” (x_X)
If I said I’m good at switching tasks, that would be a total lie.
I don’t think it’s “glossing over”, it’s that actual mental health problems are outside most people’s frame of reference so the thought doesn’t occur to them. It’s less active ignoring, more simply not knowing.
Keep those pesky Luigis away
Excuse you?
Yes.
See this comment by me: https://feddit.org/comment/3984361
Makes me cry like a baby every. single. time.
“I would have made this amount of money if you hadn’t interfered, maliciously. I lost profit because of you.” Nothing to do with morals.
But how does that statement contribute to anything?
I pay $100/month for internet access.
Which you’d also pay if you used Honey.
Lemmy may be free to access, but certainly not free to host. Am I paying for it personally? No, but someone is.
You also wouldn’t have paid to use Honey.
You also don’t see Lemmy paying hundreds of YouTubers and influencers for ad spots.
That one, that’s a valid argument.
Well, you ARE an honorary EU member, makes sense that you’d use the clearly more sensible system ;D
I am joking, it just seems more sensible to me because it’s what I know.
I don’t have easy access to loose-leaf tea, unfortunately.
Also, this is not specifically directed at you but it’s on my mind lately: loose-leaf tea is more effort than tea bags. This is not a big deal for healthy people but please don’t shame chronically ill people for using tea bags.
(This comment was eaten on my first attempt, sorry if it shows up twice)
