@Sophie Thank you, this happens to me and I would never have thought to look for a name for it (I guess it happens with autism too).

@georgetakei for those that it helps: this is usually called “Waiting Mode” and it’s common for several neurodivergencies, especially ADHD.
If it’s a problem, knowing the name can help find solutions that work for you. (Personally I embrace my waiting mode, I use the time to de-stress ahead of potentially stressful appointments, and prepare scripts to get me through them)
@lioness Put something in there that's appealing to you? I have hex-tiled ropes and a spinny chair inside to play with.
Or, our trick when learning hypnosis was to work on something unfalsifiable so we couldn't be sure it wasn't working. -iore

@hollie Dunno. Too long ago to figure out, I think.
vore, noncon, torture, "you", Rationalist //
@lioness But if you're not motivated by future outcomes none of that matters.
@hollie We did a daily art challenge (5 minute doodles, on a timer) for a while and it was hard. I think it helped that the goal was just "put down at least one mark and work on it for exactly 5 minutes", but we still gave up after a while because we stopped doing anything new.
Anyway, hope you have more success and above all fun making stuff. Don't be too hard on yourself.
re: dream, hypno //
@lioness I feel like the move there is to choose the "power down" option but try to stay lucid while you do it.
vore, noncon, torture, "you", Rationalist //
@lioness This motivation assumes that you actively want others after you to not be eaten, rather than being indifferent or wishing the same fate on others.
becoming a system stuff, kink mention //
@lioness Not sure it's the best idea to involve new headmates in kink anyway.
@varve@weirder.earth @b0rk I mean using a static site generator (hand-coding wouldn't be "generation").
@b0rk Static website generation, or at least I don't know what I can point people to as an introduction to it. Tutorials I've found don't really explain what they're doing and why.
re2: age & relationship nonsense //
@lioness I doubt another person would've helped with that. -Menderbot (previous post was also me)
re2: age & relationship nonsense //
@lioness We didn't figure any shit out until nearly our 30s.
@b0rk Merge upstreams only. Test merges immediately and push them before doing further work. If the merge can't be pushed due to non-ff, redo the merge. I don't want to work with anything more complicated than 2 parallel histories with merges syncing them.
lioness loves attention, social/parasocial line blurring? //

apparently the thing about YouTube "intentionally" slowing down browsers with adblockers was just a bug in two specific adblockers that affected multiple sites, per the ublock origin dev
Forgetting to add new source files before committing/pushing and then temporarily not having access to the machine where I wrote them. (I'm trying to get better with setting up gitignores so this is more obvious when committing.)
Interrupting git during a submodule update --init which can leave repos with a branch checked out but all files missing.
git add external/repo/
when I mean
git add external/repo
The first one adds all the files in the repo, the second makes a submodule.
