If you feel like you’ve been more forgetful than normal recently, you’re definitely not alone. Your memory can have a lot to do with what's happening around you.

But, my Normal self IS stress, anxiety, depression, and being forgetful.
Maybe so, but it doesn't have to be. There are ways to move forward and develop a new self that has a better ability to let go of these things that weigh us down. Don't ever give up! We all can find small ways to continue to grow and become better ^_^
yep got everything
Exactly, and the pandemic only made it worse; now 24 hour days are common for me...
And the insomnia bruhhh
Yes, same 😳 "feeling like your old self again" isn't something I strive for 🙈
Interesting, well welcome to the club everyone, I’m this forgetful all the time.
Yeah same.
Hey same!
What was I typing?
SAAAAAMEEEE
Yep. Then again I had depression and anxiety *before* the pandemic.😕
I've been having trouble lately remembering words I've known for years. =/ I've worked in a classroom with skylights for almost a decade, and all of a sudden, all I could think of was "ceiling window".
Limey - I forgot the word “pen”, so I came out with “writing cutlery”. Close enough. 😂
I once read about someone who's first language wasn't english... when he didn't know the word "elbow", he called his elbow his "arm knee" 😁.
Arm knee, ceiling window, writing cutlery... they still get the point across. The real problem is if you forget a word, and *can't find an alternative* word or phrase - and you stand there with your mouth open, looking like a complete idiot.
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
― Plutarch
?
Now I want to see a follow-up video that explains how permanent or temporary this forgetfulness is, even after the underlying stress/depression is resolved. Another video idea I would like to see is how memory relates to ADHD.
Agreed!
This has made me more stressed about being stressed.
oof I felt that ;-;
😩😩
I didn't know about the anxiety/depression link. I noticed that sometimes my memory recall was worse when my calcium was low (hypocalcemia from hypoparathyroidism) but i also developed a lot of anxiety after my thyroid surgery. I asked my endocrinologist if low calcium could cause both anxiety and memory recall and she was like "yeah it's possible, just take your calcium!" 🤷♀️
The depression and thyroid issue link is always strange to me how it works. I have hypothyroidism and my doctor and I can sometimes tell if my levels are dipping too much if my depression starts to peak.
having dealt with clinical anxiety my whole life, and also being highly self-aware about it, in extra stressful times like this i can still objectively remember long-past events but the extremely difficult thing is FEELING like they actually happened. i've had like a constant identity crisis for the past several months because i'm unable to emotionally remember almost anything about my life and honestly this video being posted right now was a really convenient reminder that i'm not suddenly a whole different person but that it's just the stress.
Too true, for me, as well. I feel like shouting *afreakingmen!* to your comment!
I think you've hit the nail right on the head with that comment - it's not the factual memory, but the emotional and sensory aspects of the memory. Without those, they just don't feel real. I have the problem all the time of knowing something happened, but not being able to convince myself of it in a tangible way. It's more like it happened to someone else rather than me. At its worst, I don't feel like I exist when other people aren't there.
Remembering that the stress isn't me sounds simple but as you say it's really useful for finding that emotional identity outside of the sense of stress which fragments it.
people with adhd: literally how we go through life 24/7 and more
And it's been made worse by the current state of the world.
@@ErulianADRaghath Yep. Like x 5.
Right now my ADHD meds don't even help though
ah yes, same
@@Megumi646 same yo.
Gosh, it felt like you were describing my exact situation to a T! Particularly the part about zooming in and focusing on a single bad email or tweet. I lost five hours of precious work yesterday stressing over some rando's opinion! C'mon, brain! Glad to know I'm not the only one and it will hopefully get better.
I'm always forgetful like this. I swear, if i dont take notes for EVERYTHING, i never know what i wanted to do.
Just going to suggest that there might be a moment to acknowledge the fact that are huge populations of people who have been struggling with relentless chronic economic deprivation and anxiety in the U.S. (and, under far worse conditions throughout the rest of the world) for decades; and the impact that has had on the lives of millions of people.
Not everyone was comfortable enough to enjoy the many privileges that come with not constantly worrying about the imminent possibility of homelessness, the anxiety surrounding wondering if you'll be able to pay for food, surviving violent home environments and neighborhoods, navigating predatory systems of structural violence with few, if any, resources. Struggling with a lack of medical care ...
Getting back to "normal" may be the answer for certain groups of comfortable folks, but for far too many people, corrosively chronic stressors are built-in to every day of their lives. As is often the case, where one stands is often determined by where one sits at the table.
Exactly
❤
Honestly, I feel like I'm having trouble forming coherent sentences right now. I'll just forget what I was gonna say halfway through.
Same. And I jumble several words together all the time. My 4yo corrects me. I feel so out of it. Hopefully it'll get better. Or we will get used to this "new normal."
Same
My anxiety is actually lower now than it has been in years, so I’m thinking more clearly.
As someone who has lived in high stress and isolation for years now, this makes me feel so much less crazy.
I feel like this and I also feel hopeless. But at the same time, I am able to function and remember things, I just sometimes feel forgetful.
Very interesting! I just deleted all my social media apps (except CZcams, obviously) and shopping apps, because I don't want to spend so much time glued to my phone, and also, all the hatred spreading in social media was getting to me. Now you talked about memory issues could be related to stress, and over focusing in bad stuff, it made me think about how my memory problems could be related to that.
I get really angry and perplexed over violence and science illetaracy, and maybe this is part of the problem. Very interesting indeed.
Sometimes I just turn things off and sit in silence, especially when driving, it can help me get ready for a long day at work or help me sort stuff out on the way home. My uncle sometimes would drive with the radio off when I was a kid, I thought it was kind of weird, but now I know why he did it, I think. Too much noise in the world sometimes. Sometimes I need noise while I do stuff or it drives me nuts, and will load a podcast and turn it down low for background noise. It all really depends on how I feel how much noise I want.
Well, now I'm glad I'm a virtual as well as literal near-hermit - I also have CZcams but no facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. Never have.
I'm stressed and depressed enough since *before covid;* and covid sure hasn't improved things.
I think I'll just stay home alone and watch YT cat videos til the world ends, or I do.
Where are all my ADHD folks? This is our life, right? She’s totally right, it is way worse right now?
Yes definitely!!
This was timely for me. My memory is only just starting to improve thanks to an intensive group therapy program I'm doing, but there's still a lot of gaps, including what seems like a total block on happy childhood memories - only able to recall the bad, unless reminded by family of this or that event. It's incredibly distressing, especially when you're known for having a good memory, and it was reassuring to learn more of the science behind what's actually going on in my head at present. Thank you!
I actually overthink too much this is why I forgot some activities..
This is why I started Hobbies reading books, watching movies, games, Walking, Songs ,
Joke's on you, Brit. Being stressed, anxious and depressed is my default state. I have been forgetful for several years already.
jokes on you, i already had ptsd
"""once life gets a little easier""" sounds fake but ok
What you mean? She is obviously referring to corona outbreak and its directed toward people who get anxiety/depression from this, or are you thinking corona will never go away? Or are you just being depressed and wallowing in self pity or trying to get attention to talk about how depressed you are?
@@symix. What is wrong with you?
Referring to how long it will probably take for COVID to go away at this rate. Not *never* but long enough that it doesn't make me feel better
Thanks for the ~attention~ tho😘
@@rtaraquin Just tired of people seeking attention by commenting on things they obviously understand the intended meaning but try to make it sound like it wasnt clear, its waste of time for people who try to be helpful to try to explain what was intended in cases where its clear what was intended.
I've been distracting myself by taking up courses and learning an instrument. My memory has been the same, only time is moving strangely.
Thanks for this video. Here in Argentina we're counting now 6 months of quarantine. I've been recluded all this time and all the time I feel like I can't remember anything.
Hi guang I first subscriber
I watched and listened a lot when I first got a smart phone yours was the one of the first.listeng to Michael. Anthony Hank. Oliveira.. It has been since I retuned. Its lovely to hear your voices again.u taught me a lot. I went explosion to and understand over stand. Now I know myself I inner stand everything now. And what I need to know it will be found out. If there's away there is a will.
I randomly pressed any sci vidioe .I think it was the truth. I get back after listeng love and blessings Christina. XXX
I...I forgot what I was going to comment.
Please, dear reader, imagine it was something witty.
@Lyndsay Brown: I'm imagining something so witty and profound, it manages to singlehandedly bring about everlasting world peace. Unfortunately, it was said by someone else, so you failed. Sorry.
@@sdfkjgh oh man, what was it? Could really go for some world peace right now.
@@lyndsaybrown8471: Sorry, the moment has passed. Also, I wasn't there to hear it, so I guess we both missed out.
Just re-subscribed to my headspace app, noticed I've been forgetting things way to much but stress has been tenfold
I am a Canadian, so not involved in the upcoming US election, though likely will still be impacted by it. So, out of curiosity I followed the 'how to vote link'. I am glad that I did. The information there is FANTASTIC! Thank you for doing this and for letting people know about this. I have friends with US citizenship and will be forwarding the link to them.
At first, I thought 'how to vote' meant 'who we think you should vote for' (which made me have a feeling of trepidation). But NO. It is 'you need this type of ID, here are the hours for the polling stations, etc.' There is also information about how to be media savvy when deciding votes, etc., etc. A lot of thoughtful, informative information and no one telling people who they should vote for - just background on how to make an informed decision and how to actually cast your ballot.
I hope that Canadians do something like this before our next election. I suspect it will be a bit of a gentler one than the US is heading to, but for really helping people participate in a democracy, no matter the context, is a wonderful idea.
Im glad i finally know how to explain how im hopeless at remembering to do things but my long term memory isnt too bad. prospective memory is going to be a very useful term for me.
Thank you for recommending talk therapy & meditation. These & personal growth have been so crucial in my healing journey.
I have had 3 concussions, been on over 10 different kinds of medication and have had anxiety, adhd and depression my entire life. So you can just imagine how terrible my memory is.
I've endured so much chronic depression that I think my brain doesn't react this way anymore. I have had no noticeable increase in forgetfulness this year. Which is kind of depressing in itself.
I have a particularly annoying case of doorway senility in that I forget what I was thinking immediately upon walking through a doorway. As long as I walk through no doorways, I can remember all the stuff I was getting up to do and what I was thinking, but walking through a doorway just has such a powerful effect on my mindset that I might as well be senile. It's even worse if I've walking through a doorway and gone up stairs because of course the degree of effort you've done to go and do something is directly proportional to the likelihood that you will forget what you were going to do when you get to wherever you might have intended to go.
When I was forced to move back in with my mom, I thought I was also going senile and not just broke. It turns out that there really weren't many doorways in my apartment but there are tons of them in the house, plus stairs. I'm sure some of it had to do with stress too but I had noticed the doorway phenomenon in my apartment with the bathroom and bedroom doors so I obviously also have a general propensity to forget things just because of the effect of doorway senility. lol
I've been forgetful as long as I can remember
Hmm there's a paradox in your statement here 🤔
I would love to see you cover Executive Functioning Disorder and Central Auditory Processing Disorder, along with DID vs OSDD-1.
Huh, I was just thinking that lately it feels harder to remember the tasks I have to do and think in general.
Same here. Was just talking about it earlier today actually.
Does you have headache?
@@trusfrated9326 It was more “brain fog” at the time, with some headaches here and there.
But that was three years ago. I haven’t been experiencing any such issues since getting a job I actually enjoy.
Oh.. I forgot there was gonna be a SciShow Psych video today.
And now imagine having complex PTSD and going through this all the time
I was just telling my mom a couple hours ago how upset I was about now being able to remember crap lately. Glad this popped up today.
I figured this out for myself when I got a job post graduation in 2018 and my focus and memory immediately improved as my stress evaporated. I hadn't realized because I'd been stressed for about 6 years straight
I know GAD and depression quite well. Lack of sleep was both a symptom and a cause for intensifying both
While I knew about the topics covered in this presentation from my neurologist, it is still nice to see it presented in such an intuitive and informative manner
I don't know about anyone else, but for me it's probably because my doctor took 1-1/2 weeks to renew my Adderall prescription and I ran out last week.
Getting med refills right now can be a beast. I feel ya.
Dr knew Trump bought up the supply
@@nebulan Yeah, before March it just took 1 or 2 days for him to renew the refill. Now it's almost always a week. It wouldn't be so bad if I could remember to request it a week ahead of time. But If I could do that, I probably wouldn't need the Adderall.
Short term memory is only 30 seconds & long term memories get committed while you sleep...... there must be something in the middle & I wish it was studied more.
This explains so much of my childhood. Just, so much.
I forget everything all the time, especially when I want to say something to my family but they keep talking over me, and at last when they want to hear me I forget what I was going to say it gets me stressed out because I know I was going to say something important but it just goes away so quickly.
I'm constantly forgetting things, like where I put something. My memory was never that great - even as a kid, I could never find things I was looking for, I couldn't remember where I'd left them five minutes ago. And I've had a lot of stress for the past few *years...* But covid sure hasn't helped.
Not long ago I had some paperwork I was going to need; I got it all together - then forgot where I put it. I looked everywhere for it: I dug through my purse, I searched every drawer and cabinet I could possibly have put it, drawers I thought I'd never have put it, searched through my purse and drawers again, searched AGAIN...!! I finally gave up, and got replacement copies.
Then I had some errands to run a couple few days later, including some other things to mail. I sorted some envelopes and stuff already in my purse, took out what I didn't need in *there* anymore, and left it on a table to be put away later, and did my errands.
When I got home, I looked through that stuff on the table, to file it away... *_and there was the paperwork I had lost and searched so hard for,_* in with it !! After I had been through *every scrap* in my purse, three times.
How did I *NOT* see it, three times ??
I am now convinced, I'm not just losing my memory....
....I must have completely lost my goddamned mind.
Thank you for this.
I once even forget I was in middle of conversation, in middle of the conversation.
The one I apparently was talking with, aside from laughing caught me up to date with what Thanos snapped out of my memory.
Relatable, happens to me all the time.
Is it the weed?
It might be. When I was in college, I knew a few very smart people who lost their memories seemingly permanently, to the extent that they could not get good grades anymore or pursue their career goals. I also knew one who got scurvy from smoking so much weed. The first symptom of that was that he ate oranges non-stop all day long. I think it's like a lot of things; okay in moderation, but dangerous in high amounts.
I don't think it would go as far as scurvy in most cases, just a low level, which is still a bad thing for your health.
@@meagiesmuse2334 Is this satire?
@@sixstarhorizon295 it's obviously satire. There's no way in hell someone could get scurvy just from smoking weed. That's blatantly false and very laughable. 😂😂😂
@@sixstarhorizon295 nope.
Relatable vid, I use long term memory to remember why I open tabs because I like to remember the process of how I looked stuff up.
Can you explain how some medications can affect your memory, and the difference between situational memory loss (ie stress and depression) and something like Alzheimer's or dementia?
Well, Alzheimer is not about memory loss, is about problems with connection of neurons, specially the desintegration of the microtubules. The disconection between neurons causes not only memory problems but also malfunction of may vital processes. Memory loss by stress is caused by by a low ability to store information, not a bad conection. Memory loss by dementia can be caused by many things as dementia is any tipe of brain disease that is characterized by being more common as you age, by getting more severe with time (degenerative), by making you forget things and by changing your usual conducts. I am not sure about the medication thing, but I know some chemicals can change your brain activity by making it stronger (estimulant) or weaker (depressive). A very well known and used depressive chemical is etanol (alcohol in drinks) and a very well known estimulant is caffeine. So both make a change in short term memory, but I am not sure about the change that they make in long term memory. Well, hope that helps
Edit.: Ph I forgot to say that cortisol (stress hormone) is a stimulant
not an expert but i'll give you my 2 cents regarding memory. i think of it like this: let's use "door" as an example. Alzheimer's is forgetting the word "door", but you remember what a door does. Dementia is when you forget what a door is designed for, what's it's purpose. i think experts say that dementia is an umbrella term and Alzheimer's is a form of dementia, but those are the 2 kinds of memory loss i'm familiar with.
i don't know much about medication related memory loss but i live with ptsd and all my symptoms point to serotonin, dopamine and melatonin imbalance. due to this, altho my sleeping schedule is great, i often experience weird αrsε sleeping conditions such as sleep paralysis, spasms, etc. my sleep gets disrupted and the brain doesn't get the chance to store info properly. that's how i experience long term memory loss. another reason i forget things is because my brain sometimes chooses to not really be where I'm at. if i'm feeling uncomfortable where i am at, fight or flight mode kicks in, and even tho I'm seemingly calm, i do not store much info from that situation. that's where my short term memory loss usually comes from.
i would be interested in learning what kind of memory loss medications can cause but if we're talking about antidepressants or stress/anxiety medication, i suspect it's a chicken-egg dilemma.
"Once life gets a little easier". Hahahahahahaha! You obviously don't know just how shitty my life has become since covid started. 😂
@Roman M. still though. That doesn't change the fact that I lost everything because of it and am now living in a run down camper...
@Roman M. The mandella effect doesn't kill my landscaping job, kill 4x as many Americans as WWI, and have millions of Americans like me hoping I don't get evicted in a week.
I’ve lost more than the abilities of my memory, more like the will to move forward and keep going in life.
I have ADHD... now I cannot tell how much forgetfulness is the stress of trying to to lose my job and how much is my inability to fall asleep at a reasonable time during the pandemic and how much is stress and how much is the ADHD.
I think this is the first time I've ever been first on a Sci show video!
Keep up the awesome content guys :)
Can confirm, you were the only comment I saw under the video after opening it.
Congrats
Idfk why but since school got out, I've been in a way detached from my emotions. I almost don't remember what stress and sadness feels like, and my memory is great. I almost don't feel human but I feel like myself, like I just became a Vulcan. Its the weirdest thing.
Right! I thought this might include more for those of us who have these memory problems all the time.
I play bass in a rock group and I practice my parts every day but I forget them and make numerous mistakes..It’s very frustrating, I almost feel like quitting the band because of it.
My short-term memory has been noticeably worse for these past 6 months and I already have a hole in my brain! Long-term has been stable though.
Thx 🙏🏾 u from Australia 🇦🇺
Mailing something at the post office in this era can rightly be a function of "nostalgic memory".
Its so weird. 9/11 was 20 years ago and we all remember that. Yet the capitol raid was only 7 months ago and we all have pretty much forgotten about it.
Thanks for all this information that I will most likely forget
Inducing constant high stress is also a manipulation tactic used by some people to get what they want from you. Best way to handle both is to find some way to actively relax, passive relaxation like lounging around often encourages more stress due to the lack of productivity. Relaxing by being committed to an activity is better as it works on problem solving skills in a low risk situation. As long as the activity is encouraging to do while also Finite in time limit it tricks you into actually relaxing as you've "solved the problem" or "made headway" making it easier to pass mental blocks that would otherwise restrict your ability to identify (and thus solve) more ambitious problems.
The only thing that I keep forgetting is what day it is.
Yep, not a clue what day OR month it is...its truly disorienting!
It's the day after yesterday.
It's the day before tomorrow. Don't ask me what day *that* is.
What memory loss? I think I'd remember something like that.
I know this is a very common complaint, but it's so stupid that these things are not taught at lower levels of schools in many places of the world. In many countries mental health issues are stigmatized and there are all sorts of crazy or superstitious explanations that get used which prevents important treatment of these problems. How hard is to hire some damn semi competent education directors or whatever and make some translated books on general psychology as part of the school syllabus? How are people supposed to break out of unhelpful superstitions if the best explanations we have to some of the most important phenomena are not given at a general level? I mean education is bad in many developed places but there is some serious underdevelopment in many countries. I feel like these things should be taught even before high school.
I completely agree! The country I live in is trying quite hard to bring awareness to mental health conditions. At my son's school (he's in elementary) they have "Mental Health Week" (or Day, sorry can't remember), however at his level it's more so about not judging or bullying (making fun of) someone with a mental health condition. However, they don't talk about any of the conditions, maybe they think the children won't understand, but they could at least touch on depression and anxiety.
It seems as though most people will grow up to be diagnosed with a mental health condition, if not in childhood. I feel as though teaching the children at a young age, may help them to recognize and understand better, if they exhibit symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc., conditions may children are diagnosed with these days and may help them realize they need help and are comfortable asking and talking about it because it wasn't stigmatized in school.
With the "Mental Health Week" (or Day) we have here, it only leaves my child with more questions. However, he does come to me and asks " what does Mental Health issues mean?" (he's quite young), so I explained it appropriate for his age and as he's gotten a bit older, we talk about it quite often as his best friend has ADHD and ODD, along with severe anxiety and his cousin has ADHD and Tourette's Syndrome. Also, my son has quite a bit of anxiety and has recently started developing panic attacks (very mild though), so we're constantly talking and learning about it and how to handle it.
So, I think the schools are heading in the right direction, but maybe should explain things a bit more.
I scrolled down to comment about something I really liked in this video, but now I've forgotten
I get clumsy as well as forgetful when I'm stressed :O
Nice and informative
Yeah, uh, I'm always forgetful. I have anxiety around other people, especially when it comes to work. But even when I'm happy and relaxed I get absent minded. Too much to do or that I want to do.
I haven't been more forgetful recently. If anything, my memory is better now that I am done with grad school. But to this point, when my mom's twin sister passed away, my mom kept repeating herself, forgetting what she said 5 minutes ago, and we all understood it was because she was in shock.
Hi Scishow! Serious question! What if I have issues with these forgetful memory states all the time even before the pandemic? Who should i seek out to help me?
when ur always forgetful 😭😭 i was gonna watch an interesting video but then youtube restarted, so when i got back on i completely forgot what it was. this happens alllll the time its so frustrating 💀💀
Same with me how are you now ??.
Did you find any solution if yes then please help me 😭😭
I am old and this is the way it is all the time. However the news has exasperated it big time
My memory, not the greatest due to ADHD and Anxiety. So yeah, welcome to the forgetful club all the new people.
Exactly what I was looking for
1:12 That brain image is giving me serious David Anson Russo maze flashbacks.
The odd thing is, I don't feel like I've forgotten this video, but the opposite...I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.
“A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”
- Irish proverb
"i cant remember anything these days, my brain is turning to mush"
"yeah this pandemic is wrecking havoc on my mind"
"pandemic?"
What actually happens in my brain:
Consciousness: "Memory, where did I leave my keys?"
Neuron group A: "Under your bed master!"
Neuron group B: "In your dresser drawer master."
Mind "great so the keys are locked in my car again!"
🤣🤣🤣 !! This sounds *sooo* like me... with keys, important papers, the book I was reading, the thing (what *was* the thing, anyway 🤔?) that I had in my hand just 60 seconds ago...
Except I don't have a car to lock things in. Or do I... 🤔?
Memory issues are also caused by simple things that create boundaries from one moment to the next. Things like walking through a door, for example. These are cues for your brain to archive accumulated memories to make room for more.
A video about why do we drop things would be interesting!
I watched this video, but then I forgot what it was about so I had to watch it again.
Thank god. I was really worried.
Almost 30 and averaging more than a couple concussions a year. I forget where I was going with that, but it's relevant to the video title somehow🤔
A strategy I find that works when you forget where you put keys for example:
Put them in the place you are most likely to look for them!
The good news is my memory is no worse than usual.
The bad news is it's no better.
So... either I loose short term memory from smoking weed, or don't and stress tf out and have stored memory problems. Sick !!!
This actually made me feel really good
I was totally opposite of being forgetful ,but sudenly idk why I startetd forgetting things
And struggling so so much to remember the things,experiencw studies ,really while knowing that we forget things it sucks so much that it cant be explained in words when we bwcome weak instaead of strong
Thats so injustice hapening with ownself and dealing with it day by day is becoming tuff,I am fighting with own brain
So dreadful it is idk what to do
But I hope I will become normal
It’s not only me forgetting little everything. Like I don’t remember days at a time. 😣
Developing brains who experience anxiety and depression related stress, the hypothalamus can be stunted which is why people with severe depression and anxiety have a lot of trouble remembering anything. Like appointments, events, conversations and names/faces.
forgot i had this vid open in another tab
As I clicked this video I tabbed out in 10sec for a discord notif and forgot I was watching this video
honest comment: I know I always had an issue, since a kid, forgetting things*
However, when I reached 17 yrs. I decided to smoke weed.
Between ages, 33-37 I read a lot of books and seen a huge increase in cognitive thinking.
Now, I will turn 41 yrs. old and I feel like I am* back at forgetting new tasks very fast (haven't really read a full book for yrs.)
Point is, reading, even if you smoke every day, can make a huge difference (talking to myself out loud right now).
Oh gods, this feels so much like an instructional video from highschool.
Not necessarily a bad thing, but an exceedingly strong feeling.
Can someone ask Hank to plug the "How to vote in every state" channel more often across his channels? I remember hearing about this in the last voting cycle but I feel like this is the first time I've seen it this year.
