Attention deficit disorder.

ADD

Attention deficit disorder.

You can also say "short attention span" if you want it to sound less medical.

I'd go with this one; it's a touchy subject to identify someone, including yourself, as having ADD, unless they've actually been diagnosed by a doctor.

Hey now, having AD(H)D isn't so bad, you get dexies which you can then re-sell to the non-afflicted for recreational purposes!
Yeah, I had a housemate who did that in my previous clusterfuck of a sharehouse. He'd sell his meds and go fully manic and start various DIY projects on the house. Fun times.

So did PETA and other similar protests really take down the Fur Industry and kill its popularity because it was considered cruel?

I am starting to get the impression that what actually killed it is that they are FREEKEN EXPENSIVE, expensive to clean, wear out quickly, and are basically asking to get dirty.

All the while fake alternatives were becoming cheaper and better looking.

You're probably right, but the bad PR couldn't have helped. It's like the vegetarians created by Super Size Me and Food Inc. Not fatal to the industry, but a noted malus.

This is sort of a niche question, but what the hell.

You know these headsets that you stick your smartphone in and they are sort of like VR glasses? Do you people by chance know if there is a simplistic internet browser for these things? Like, just a regular mobile browser, but locked in landscape and forced splitscreen?

[Sheb]

This look like a browser specifically for VR website, but it might work for standard website.

Can't get it to work right, no reaction whatsoever to any motion of the phone.
Thanks anyway. I'm currently going through various apps from Google Play, hopefully there is at least one that does what I want.

Are you asking about the samsung vr or something else?

[Comrade P.]

I'm using VR Box 2.0 with Asus Zenfone 3 Max

Long story short, I live an apartment building and the person below me is running their TV at a reasonable volume but at unreasonable times (like, for the entire night, they're probably falling asleep at midnight or 1AM and leaving it on till they wake up).

ANYWAY, would leaving a note come across as passive aggressive?

If the tone of the note is not demanding, it shouldn't come across as such, I think.
But mind, there is always a chance of running into an unreasonable person.

EDIT:
Re: VR Internet Browsing
Found a solution. Basically a program/app duo that projects video feed of your PC onto your smartphone so you can use it in VR headgear, either via USB cable (faster) or through Wi-Fi.

Is there a term for someone who is patriotic to a fault?
