Dan Da Dan is one of the rare narratives where both leads are a very similar range of AuDHD-coding and the show is off-the-rails *wild*

I have officially begun exercising again, and resuming it confirms what I already knew about myself: I fucking hate it, never get the benefit of "endorphin rush" and therefore participate in it only under duress, ie, the knowledge that as a 56-year-old person, if I don't, later life will suck more.
