I often just fail until it gets embarrassingly or super inconveniently bad. My only strategy that was ever even a little helpful was breaking the task into tiny micro 5 minute tasks and writing them all down, and doing a few of those at a time. I had adhd though, and am hoping medication will help with that (so far it has a bit).

Slowy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it a bad idea to introduce a new kitten to a house where there is already an older cat?25·1 year agoAs others have said, you need to take your cat not peeing very very seriously, it can quickly become a several thousand dollar surgery or ICU stay, and it can even be fatal, if your cat is that stressed I think you need to temporarily remove the kitten at least and try again more gradually and with the advice others have given. But for now you need to take your cat to the vet asap.

Slowy@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can marine mammals live in freshwater?1·1 year agoYeah from my brief reading it seems they can adapt to food salinity by altering their urine concentrations so I don’t think that’s a huge factor, at least it’s not something that comes into play before the other factors begin to harm them. But if you could fix their skin and buoyancy, diet may start to matter. But their prey is also a different salinity than the water it lives in a lot of the time, and sometimes they eat land animals like birds and such ofc.
Slowy@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can marine mammals live in freshwater?6·1 year agoThere is still a bit of the Finless Porpoise left there, but not dolphins specifically no.
Slowy@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can marine mammals live in freshwater?38·1 year agoThere are types of freshwater river dolphins in the Yangtze (well, one of these species probably is extinct there as of recently but still) and the Amazon, for example. Sea dolphins can survive in freshwater for awhile but their skin isn’t adapted to it, and it will get damaged eventually. That and the difference in buoyancy in sea water vs freshwater leads to the sea dolphins eventually getting exhausted in freshwater.
Slowy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is pornography (and sexualisation in general) so normalised?4·1 year agoAnother question - you said things are going backwards. When do you feel that things were better, and what made that time practically better in terms of not objectifying people?
Slowy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is pornography (and sexualisation in general) so normalised?211·1 year agoIs it? Or is it to allow people to indulge in and express sexuality outside of a relationship? I don’t think it has a singular purpose of objectifying people. If people take it that way I think it’s more indicative of a problem with their attitude that they may need help to reframe.
Do violent shows or horror movies make you feel human life is worth less because it shows people getting hurt or murdered?
Slowy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is pornography (and sexualisation in general) so normalised?32·1 year agoI agree that doesn’t seem healthy. Misogyny is nothing new, though, and in your post you said people are reducing themselves to sexual objects but the example is people reducing others to sexual objects, which is not really the fault or necessarily the intention of the person being objectified
Slowy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is pornography (and sexualisation in general) so normalised?47·1 year agoIn what way do you see embracing sexuality as contradictory to being a whole human? Can you give examples?
Slowy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?3·2 years agoAre you very low on time? I see this happen to people who feel they just don’t have enough time to get everything done that they need to, and therefore any little delay causes a lot of stress. If you can offload some chores or reduce your activity load that may be some help. But there are other reasons for irritability as well.
Also a lot of typhoid and stomach flu type pathogens don’t spread butthole to butthole, they spread via the “fecal-oral” route so… that happens in situations like someone took too small a slice and touches your food (or receipt that you ate to prove they liked your gift) without washing their hands properly.
Slowy@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience?4·2 years agoIt would be cool to be able to just combine the content at the user level. You could have all the gaming communities you like under a custom gaming label, with a filter that checks for duplicate titles or links (wouldn’t be perfect but decent) and imports in the comments from duplicate threads (with some subheadings or something to distinguish their origin)
I had this same thing happen with a friend of mine, he was being manipulated by his partner at the time, 1 slow motion train crash later, he got diagnosed with bipolar, medicated and stabilized. We talk a bit again, it’s nice to see him in a stable place. But if someone refuses to hear what the therapist says and dismisses them or hides information from them they aren’t really going to be able to get proper help.
Slowy@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Looking for a thermometer or home weather center with indoor and outdoor temp sensors, and that can record and export the data, does anyone know of such a device?5·2 years agoWhat you’re looking for is a 2 channel temperature data logger, but it might be cheaper to just buy 2 single channel ones (a really brief search shows some for like $30)
Oh yeah not for some feather loss, we never bothered with the jackets either really. I only mention it because we did have to euthanize a few hens due to the severity of the wounds the roosters could inflict - and those boys didn’t even have spurs! But since it’s not your roosters causing it there isn’t much concern it’s going to get to that point.
Interesting, are they fed ad lib? We have kept largish flocks of roosters + breeding hens (20-30), but like 8 rooms with groups that size, year after year, and I’ve not seen much of that even when feed is restricted. But my experience with them is in a research setting, and they are a more uniform size/age/breed. It doesn’t do them harm to lose the feathers anyway, as long as their rooster isn’t too aggressive!
If he is being too aggressive with your hens (I see a lot of feather loss but could just be moulting?) they make some little hen jackets his favourite ladies could wear, or you can put gel nails on him 😂 but I have seen some very nasty wounds from overzealous mating
How, when you have no energy and time?
