Serious question, how do people stomach wading through memes and stale book/autist discussion without drinking?

I'm too tired to focus properly so I'm listening to music and reading shitposts for the rest of the night

He comes off as much more lucid and less autistic in the Charlie Rose interviews.

Still love all of them, however.

Lack of motivation.
Like, I don't fucking know. I am not depressed at the moment, atleast not nearly as much as I was all year, but like, I have 13 fucking unfinished short stories sitting in my God damned folder, I have 3 unfinished programming projects sitting in my fucking folder, I have my fucking notebook sitting on my desk with a pencil next to it ready to be written in with like 10 tabs open with the material I need to write down to help me along with learning fucking Prolog, but I just don't want to fucking do any of it. I wish I had motivation.
