I recently did something like this….

I was diagnosed as a young child. I don’t remember an assessment and was never medicated. The coping mechanisms I was taught growing up were not contextualized as “for ADHD” they were just “the way things had to be done to get things done” As I grew into adulthood, I chocked up the behavioral differences to just the way different folks from different families learn to do things differently. Living as an normie, I started to question/forget my diagnosis.

So there I am, rediscovering that I might have ADHD as an adult from memes on the internet. When I mentioned it to my folks my mum emphatically reminded me that I absolutely had an official diagnosis X0 some years ago.

Sony didn’t seem to confuse folks by releasing 3 black boxes in a row with different numbers on them. I don’t really see why this would.

Backwards compatibility has been confirmed for a while now.

The one that gets me is ending a statement with a rhetorical “yeah?”. It doesn’t bother me so much as it surprises me because I almost never run into anyone using it, but when I do, they use it with incredible frequency.

There is an atmosphere on the moon. It is very thin but it does exist. Gasses will mostly escape, but particulate (smoke, soot, dust, the components of smog that aren’t the fog part) may hang around for a while before settling to the surface.

Guess I won’t run mine through the dishwasher then.

I think hair might be accessory to the nature of “roof”. Hair is more the chimney of the mouth.

Ya know…

No matter what they say.

That took me a while. My first thought was it was an ad hoc durometer gage for cushion foam or jello or something, but the scale was backwards…

Anyway. Isopropanol/isopropyl-alcohol/that-shit-in-the-medicine-cabinet will take care of it. I use it all the time.

I was talking to a teacher over the holidays, and apparently some kids will have one or more dummy phones (fauxns?) to hand over if asked when they try to sneak their real phone into class.
