    I understand that this may come across as flippant and possibly condescending, so apologies in advance, but I mean it as a genuine question.

    What would it take to break the… inertia?

    I imagine you’d move if your chair caught fire, so there must be some line. How low can the bar be set?

      Depends. Are we also depressed? Is there actual anxiety tied in with that flippant apparent physical lethargy? How hot is this fire?

      If you want us to do something with some consistency make us feel obligated or change it enough to keep it interesting.

      Meth. Anything less will only result in eventual and catastrophic failure. Source: I have ADHD and have tried everything else, several times over.

        You mean Methylphenidate? Because people when understand a different thing when you say meth…

          My understanding is that stimulants alleviates ADHD symptoms. That meth is a type of stimulant. And that specialized ADHD meds are based off of meth (according to my nurse mom and sister).

          But also, I am being intentionally hyperbolic for the purposes of comedy.

      I imagine you’d move if your chair caught fire

      i’d sit up, try finishing the comment I’m writing, realize my pants are on fire, extinguish them, and then finish the comment, and then look at the fire

        And be angry at the fire for interrupting you? And forget what the comment was about and just send it, hoping the response made sense but it doesn’t matter anyway because you forgot what the comment you were replying to is about and what the post was about and hey let’s open another app?
