something the retro art people forget is that the past still exists in those time periods. Like those photos where every single iconic 80s thing is in the kid’s bedroom–no one lived like that outside of the very wealthy and/or the movies.
Someone kicking around in 1985 was probably living in a house built decades prior, and their parents last renovated in the 70s before the kids were born–because there’s no money for that when you had kids.
I mean look around today, there are plenty of people 10+ years behind the times. Old cars are out there, old fashions, old music–the present day is haunted by the past around every corner, the date doesn’t roll over to a new decade and all the old stuff doesn’t just disappear–it’s all still here.
Those achingly period-appropriate homes you see in movies and TV are just that–sets. Unless you just moved into a brand new home and all your stuff was lost in a fire so you had to replace it your home is not going to be all modern present day shit.
This is also something a lot of future-fiction doesn’t get–the future will have a lot of the past in it, because as humans bumble through life they pick things up and they don’t discard them–Someone who is 40 in 2040 is going to have shit from the 20′s when they got their first apartment or whatever, their home may have been built in 2000 and last remodeled in 2030…what I mean is cutting edge fashions and styles exist on TV but rarely in real life.
The most annoying thing with ADHD impulsiveness is when you finally have motivation to do something and then it turns out you can’t.
Like, I just went “I’M GONNA MAKE SOME FUCKING MUFFINS” and I was preheating the oven and then WHOOPS I’m out of vegetable oil.
I can run to the store or have it delivered, but both of those are likely to take so long that by the time I get my veggie oil, I’ll have lost the motivation to bake.
Look one of the most overlooked symptoms of ADHD is time blindness, and with it there’s only three times:
The past (poorly remembered)
Right the fuck now (the only time that is real. Finally, for the first time, you are awake)
The future (may never come. Do not trust. Next week might as well be “in a billion years after the sun goes cold”)
how do y’all make such a mess in a public bathroom I don’t understand. I would kill myself immediately if I left a mess in a bathroom and someone else had to see it. do people not respect the cleaners
