Looking at my phone, I verbally asked myself, "Where's my phone??"

When I was a child, I once tore apart my room looking for my game boy colour, which was in my hand the whole time.
Yeah, I had undiagnosed ADHD.
Whenever I use my phone for navigation, I always notice my pockets are empty and stress about losing my phone. Also while looking at my phone.
This really shouldn't happen as often as it does.
Spent weeks without pepper because I thought the grinder thing wasn’t working. Turns out I hadn’t screwed off the cap and removed the foil. I was just about to give up and buy a new pepper grinder.
I have pepper again.
I asked lemmy users what a tankie is.
Every day I wake up and go to work and realize just how stupid of an idea that was.
Every day I wake up ~~and go to work~~ and realize just how stupid of an idea that was.
fixed that for me
This is probably a stupid question, but what's the difference between being dumb and being stupid? Is stupid just a ranking of dumb, or is dumb a quantifiable measurement and stupid is not?
Please advise.
the way I do it is dumb is stupid without harm.
Stupid is dumb with harm.
An example..
Dumb is dropping your drill bit 3 times in a row, having to climb back down the ladder each time to get it.
Stupid is dropping the entire drill on your friends unprotected head.
I like this definition and will steal it as well as claim it as my idea for perpetuity, until someone checks me - because I am stupid.
Or, instead, I'll just misremember it when quoting it in conversation - because am dumb.
Ladies and gentlemen, the real good vs evil metric. We've finally found it. It wasn't good vs evil, but dumb vs stupid.
Generally interchangeable.
While trying to mount a speaker:
Where's my drill bit?
Where's the mount?
Where's my pencil?
Where's my level?
Where's the mount?
WHERE ARE THE SCISSORS?
I JUST HAD MY FUCKING DRILL BIT!
GOD DAMNIT, JUST LET ME MOUNT THIS THING, WHERE IS MY PENCIL?
Every time I try to do anything. I'm probably undiagnosed ADHD, tbh.
Looking for my phone... while holding the damn thing in my hand.

Home, night, lights turned off, trying to locate my phone before going to bed WHILE using the phones flashlight.
21st century version of running around looking for glasses..that you have on top of your head.
Yep. On multiple occasions I've said down the phone to someone that I've lost my phone.
For some reason, I wanted to try the new Dutchman burger that people were talking about online, and right as I took the first bit, I instantly remembered that the buns are replaced with onions and my body doesn't like that much onion all at once.
Be an iPhone enjoyer and defend Apple here on Lemmy.
There’s no beating the hive mind.
That is stupid but not for reason you think it is.
Try to disagree with the hivemind on ANYTHING and you get punished. Lemmy doesn’t like opposing viewpoints.
Plus side on lemmy is that since your comment and link points aren't saved to a total on your account you can ultimately be more free with your opinion since the only penalty is especially meaningless downvotes, unlike on the other site where if you dipped well into the red you might not be able to post in places.
My battery on my Samsung die during class cause i forgot to charge it, and no joke, my friend who owns an iPhone says "maybe you should get an iPhone because of that."
Sounds like a shitty friend. Idk why your comment is relevant
iPhone user bad. Weren't you listening?
I got lost and almost stuck out on a hiking trail in the desert after dark. It was raining, I was soaked through, and so was my dog. It wasn't supposed to rain, and I'd taken this hike before. Granted, never by myself, but still.
Luckily I found my way back to the trail head just as it was getting pitch black, but I was seriously scared there for a bit. I kept apologizing to my dog for being so fucking stupid to go on a two hour hike in the late afternoon with no emergency gear and no "just in case" rain protection.
...this happened 5 hour ago, btw, I can't sleep, I think I'm still in shock a bit at how close I came to possibly dying. And for bringing my dog down with me.
And this is why I carry a ton of crap with me whenever I go in the woods or on the water. Pretty sure my friends poke fun at me.
This is actually a case of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Now the only important thing is that you treat it as a learning experience. It's too easy to get hung up and blame yourself for far too long.
Hey, thanks. Yeah I feel a little lightheaded/spaced out today, like I definitely realized I effed up, but never again.
I was laid off this year. I'm a 25 year veteran programmer, and not to brag in the sea of tech folks we have here, but I am rather proud of my skills I have picked up over the years.
My first interview this year, they set up an online development environment and had me solve a fairly simple array sort problem, and I completely choked. Something about being watched and judged while I worked broke my brain.
I managed to ace my next interview, but they didn't bother with the programming exercise at all.
Everything that I've ever done
Me irl
About half the things I said in an interview for a new job.

No, it’s just showing off
