Yeah... That's why I keep silent about my ADHD diagnosis at work, even if I'm one of the senior whom helps everyone with everything while also handling the more complex projects...
Somehow, I know that there would still be some stigma around it... :(
You can always troll teenagers by using their words in slightly off contexts.
No way my parents did that accidentally!
If you're unsure about yourself and an official diagnostic would help you know, then id say go for it.
If you know yourself, then an official paper won't change you. It will only be useful for external recognition, and then that's very dependent on the system in which you live.
That being said, I'm just a person with no training on this topic. You should put your psychiatrist advice before mine!
I'm mostly a "wikipedia reader" type of person, so I don't have good pop sci sources to recommend... Sorry!
Also, any neurodivergent person will share some common experience coming from not being part of the matin group... I have many friends with ASD, while I'm ADHD.
While we are very different, we also get along so well because we share the fact that our behaviours and tastes are unexpected. We have much greater patience for other people's "quirks"!
Wait till you read russian novels, where everyone's got 3 names and 2 official nickname everyone is expected to know...
Or to any woung people from 2000 onwards. To them, specifically white socks with slip-in sandals is a perfectly good choice of footwear!
Group A starts indexing at 1. Group B at 0.
To me, the second layer of the joke is that the choice of starting number is significant enough that the author considers it to be two distinct personalities!
Just finished watching Tolkien stuff, so i got this:
Bees are kelvar: beings that are "capable of moving and escaping"! Except maybe for the queen bee, which may be an olvar.
Kelvar was a name used by the Valie Yavanna to refer to that part of her natural realm capable of moving or escaping, as opposed to the olvar which were rooted in place.
For me to be a better friend by better understanding his new limitations...
He already has a good support network, they organised a fundraiser to get him an electric wheelchair, which is awesome! But at first I didn't understand why it was helping him, because I don't know enough about the condition. 🫣
I have a friend who's now living with ME. Any resources for the general public to better understand the condition?
Yup! The fact that it is defined as "illegal" allows goons to storm your house and court troll to harrass you.
Thus everything they say is true, in some way...
It just doesn't involve Montreal corporation, so it's not corruption, just sparkling scandals.
Word to replace "weird" when used in a positive context
Now that it seems decided that the word "weird" should be used in a derogatory way against sociopathic narcissists in politics, I have to be careful about how i use this word.
In the recent years, I usually used it to describe someone or something that was different in an interesting and charming way. I am neurodivergent in a way that is easily hidden (not that I make coucious efforts to hide it), I would often describe myself as just "slightly weird". I no longer want to use this word to describe myself anymore because of the above mentioned reasons.
In old literature, I've seen the word queer used as such, but today it doesn't really carry that meaning anymore. Although I wouldn't really mind if it confused people about my gender, I don't really worry about that. 😁
Any other suggestions ro help describe myself that wouldn't put the focus of the discussion on neurotypes?

Rattler II and clustering
Today I updated my missile racks and put a bunch of cluster missiles (Rattler II) on them because i remember they used to be the beast next then.
Now I notice that they often hit the target without splitting into smaller missiles. Is there something like a "minimum split distance" or just a bug about them?
I like how overwhelming the number of pips becomes when they work well! 😎

Your soul is quantum-entangled with the computer during the transfer, so don't worry! Unless you believe in the many-world interpretation of quantum mechanics, because there's a bug in the software about that specific topic!
