My sister would come into my room, and regardless of if I had the light on or off, would flip it to be the opposite. All the while staring and plotting destruction. Day, night, didn't matter, it would be flipped.

Actual torture technique

ah yes also known as the neurodivergent kryptonite

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Am neurodivergent AF. I'm the kind that needs ALL OF THE LIGHTS. Not cool tone (hiss) but neutral to warm toned lights. I need the overhead and any and all lamps at the same time- gotta be lit like a goddamn stadium up in this bitch.

We exist.

do it pussy, i don't have a ceiling light. Get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

My apartment still uses U-shaped plugin CFL bulbs in the overhead lights. One literally exploded when turned on. Needless to say, the ceiling lights are almost never used.

Didn't know that enjoying comfortable lighting is neurodivergent

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The divergence is what sort of lighting you consider "comfortable", in case you were serious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Isn't it generally accepted that directional, dim lighting makes for a more comfortable atmosphere? I doubt that any professional interior or lighting designer would just put a single omnidirectional ceiling light in the middle of the room and call it a day, for good reason. So how is enjoying that neurodivergent? Tbh it seems more neurodivergent to me to be comfortable with bright cold light at home — that's serial killer behavior, lol.

Seems more like a question of preferences or caring / not caring about something rather than being neurotypical or not.

Interesting choice to associate neurodivergence with serial killer behaviour haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Hyperbole, and the other way around — serial killers are obviously neurodivergent, but of course not all neurodivergent people are serial killers, haha.

Well, they might because it's cheap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well sure, but the point is they wouldn't do it because people prefer it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Indeed. At least not as a some form of lighting. Better to have area and spot lighting (and flexibility for different moods/situations).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Anybody else get vertigo from ceiling fans? 😂😵‍💫

Ceiling light enclosure manufacturers when somebody tells them about diffusers

I have tape or marker covering all the blue lights that I can. So many small electronics have piercing blue LEDs and I just cannot deal. Bring back the old ruby red console lights please!

My wife always puts black nail polish on those little shits. I love her

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Lord, I had a cheap PA system for band practice with a blue power LED that felt like it was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.

So I put some duct tape on it.

Then it felt like the light from under the duct was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.

I will say though that new phones NEED to start including the LED indicator. I actually hate how I can't just glance at my phone and tell if I have a voicemail, text message, missed call, and/or email waiting. Now I have to pick the thing up, turn on the screen, look at what it is, and actively choose to ignore it.

It's a lot more work.

My Pixel 2 XL had it. I miss it after switching to the Nord n200

AMOLED Alway On Displays are your friends. My phone shows the time, battery charge and notification icons, very dimly, everything else is pitch black. It's better than the blinking led ever was. It sits on the table, if it vibrates, I look at it and decide if it is important or not based on the icon that shows up, then I ignore it anyways.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

The problem is, I don't want a screen always on. I just want the option to have a blinky light.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Electrical tape ftw, but I have also just snipped off the red LEDs of my old sound card. And I've spray painted the metal chassis black. Man I hate Creative so much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

wait until you learn about the Rgb soundcard
