They're brainwashed, for the most part. For whatever stupid reason, they decided to watch fox news exclusively for the past few decades and they are intentionally shielded from anything that makes a republican look bad.
Why weren't they shocked at the Jan 6 insurrection? Because they've only been shown select footage of a "peaceful protest". They literally aren't seeing what we are, and at this point the brainwashing is so thorough that they'll believe some racist prick on TV over their own family members.
I have a keyboard with 10 macro keys, 5 on each side. I don't have a whole lot of uses for them except when using Blender, I have buttons set to switch between vertex, edges, and face selection modes, one to zoom in on the selected objects, and another one or buttons to quickly scale things down to zero on a single axis.
Then I set another mode to do some repetetive things in Dwarf Fortress.
Some video games do this to me depending on how good the storytelling is. 10 Dead Doves still has me thinking about it two weeks after my second playthrough.
I'm a software developer, and I sometimes if I'm asked how something works, I can find it difficult to explain things in a way that would make sense to the listener, whether they are a PM or the client.
Other times, depending on the question, I simply don't know the answer, and it could take hours for me to gain enough understanding of the project to even respond intelligently.
When my cat had to go to the vet, someone else would drive while I held the carrier open and pet the cat and let her look out the window. She would still cry, but not constantly.
I once went to a woodworking store to get supplies for one of my brief ADHD hobbies, and the guy there mentioned that they have classes and there were some carvings on display that people made. It sounded like a nice, small group of people and if I wasn't so lazy and socially anxious I might've enjoyed joining.
My dad watches Full Custom Garage, and while I'm not interested in cars or anything like that, the guy's personality seems so positive, and the show is so drama-free, that I could just watch it and relax without hearing any assholes arguing at each other like some other shows.
