In the interest of science, when does the good things start to happen? Upon payment, or upon receipt?

I want that poster.

Early 40'ies. I'm mid 50'ies now, and still not formally diagnosed, and I don't particularly care either.

I don't know how not to.

Also: Any sort of verbal interaction started with a rhetorical question is bound to suck extremely. Very likely to send me into a negative spiral TBH.

Yes, that's exactly how I read it too.

Also, OP, realize you will always be nerd sniped. :-)

I use Emacs BTW, and sometimes helix (after 20 years of vim).

Yeah, something like this. Going from iOS to Android is potentially very rough, depending on how you use your phone, and going de-googled Android right off the bat might be worth it, if you value not being surveilled for advertising all the time and like it rough, I guess.

I'm on a Pixel 8 Pro now, with GrapheneOS, and it's been great.

Just saw that the new Nothing phones come with unremovable Facebook bloat installed BTW, which is pretty bad.
