I usually spin around on the direction keys a bit
No good, you touch a button twice.
And avoid one nearby. That’s not anxiety but psychopathic behavior.
uh oh…
hides remote from myself
I feel called out. XD
My remote is a spaceship, and the battery door is the walkway to the ground.
OCD?
Yes, and I still do that. Especially in sets of 4 buttons.
Anyone do this with pushbutton phone numeric pads? In numeric order, in columns left to right, then an “X”, then 2,6,8,4 and the zero. It rang when I did that as a kid, figured I “called China” or something, hung up in a panic.
honestly gtfo with your depression memes. it’s not funny and a self fulfilling prophecy
why so mad? also just bc you don’t find it funny doesn’t mean others feel the same way.
getting warm requires money to pay for heating fuel, OP
What’s wrong with the OK button? Why did you skip it?
Because I’m not OK and I refuse to pretend.
Also the arrow buttons are touched in the wrong order imho but ok
Because nothing is ok.
I still do this.
I also pulled the little contact pads off of the back of the Netflix button and the other pairs services buttons that are a fixture on my remote that I don’t use. I kept accidentally hitting them and it would rip me out of whatever content I was watching and send me to a service I didn’t subscribe to.
Not anymore.
I prefer using tape to cover the underlying traces because it’s a reversible process, it could help if you’re planning to sell the TV or if a button-remapping tool gets developed later.
The design of these particular buttons didn’t allow for that. That’s usually what I prefer too.
The button itself didn’t have any conductive material, it was a small piece of metallic material on the PCB, that when pressed, deflected to connect the circuit. The rubber/polymer buttons just mechanically pushed down on the small metal disc that made that contact happen.
It was easy enough to pull the small disc off of the PCB, but I don’t think the process can be reversed, or at the very least, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep track of the items removed in order to reverse it.
I don’t actually plan on replacing the TV at all. It’s job might change, from my main TV to a spare TV in the office or basement or something, but I don’t think I’ll be getting rid of it until it stops functioning.
You can rebind the key to do something else, needs an app though
…needs an app…
So you’re saying its impossible. Like when I had to sign up for Bixby to make the Bixby button do something else.
No, I’m saying it’s possible. It’s not like signing up to bixby, what are you saying??
I was unable to find a way.
In any case, the buttons don’t work anymore and I’m fine with that.
Ain’t nothing wrong with stimming.
Why was the OK button not pressed?
saving it for last
Because we’re not OK
Trust me
We promise
And the left arrow press twice… need to redo properly
Obviously because they aren’t, Okay.
Is…is that not normal idle behavior? Like, my fingers will trace lines on stuff I’m holding without me really giving it any attention. Drumming rhythms on a surface with my fingertips is an option too.
I thought everybody did that stuff
Yeah, I don’t know why this would translate to mental illness?
I’m also poor, but Medicaid actually isn’t terrible. I’d be completely boned without it tho. Like, no insurance at all
Maybe not mental illness but this is definitely a stim for me.
What about both
I would like to take this moment to ask anyone that DON’T have anxiety and depression right now to come forward and speak
Here I am. I was fine, then I had a crisis, now I’m fine again.
I don’t? I don’t think?
I’m honestly pretty light on any emotion except anger. But I don’t care enough to be anxious, and I’m pretty confident I’m not depressed. I’m reasonably unhappy about the state of the world (and my country), but I wouldn’t equate that to depression.
