This implies that executive dysfunction is a trance, and it is possible to find it and adjust it. At least for me. I don't know if the cause is the same for everyone, and it took a lot of work to learn how to do that.

This is seriously OP. If I take the time and do it calmly, I can gently shift from executive dysfunction to actually doing things, seemingly without any long-term consequence.

After years of learning meditation/hypnosis, healing trauma, realizing I'm plural, becoming a singlet, becoming plural again, mastering systemhood, learning to rest efficiently based on need, reconnecting with my singlet self while still being a system, and learning to break trances I hadn't even known were trances: experiments indicate I can sustainably work ~7 hours per day, if I accept not doing much else with my day.

How does anyone work full time without burning out?

I think we should be other people.

TwinRoot (basically, who we were for 2 days when the entire system merged and became a singlet) was brought out by our attempt to practice this. Yesterday they hosted, but they've decided to just be a steadying hand for the rest of us. Apparently they enjoy being other people more than themself?

Having the weird thought that a lot of things I perceive as experiences are actually things I'm doing and I have the option to stop. I just tend to get caught up in them and forget that.

I will never have time to do this, but I think it'd be fun to decompile a game "from scratch" - build all parsers, disassembler, and decompiler yourself

Had a dream about society disabling me, only at the end I somehow was calm enough to start to explain: hey, I understand objectively this isn't a big deal but it's the result of a cascade of failures in navigating this whole system, which happens constantly because society isn't designed for me. you acted reasonably and it's not your fault but be aware that a lot of extra emotional weight from other events has been piled on top of this one thing for me @actuallyautistic

@emerald You're not "really" plural nor are you "really" singlet. No one is. They're just models we use to work with a reality that's far more complex.

This one involves using your imagination far more than other models, perhaps, but imagination does reflect and change the reality.

Time for a nano-nap! /lays down for like 10 seconds

@b0rk This is very useful for large projects because unlike the long form it doesn't "disturb" files that changed between HEAD and otherbranch (due to otherbranch being out of date), which makes incremental rebuilds faster.

@b0rk Update your branch from upstream by applying all of your branch's changes on top of upstream.
