OmgItBurnsto Memes@lemmy.ml•This Is What They Meant By Making America Great Again?English14·18 days agoAnyone else think this looks like a retro-futuristic adult toy with an extra buzzy feature?
Im going to assume you’re not trying to be an asshole here and don’t really understand.
Yes, most of us know that this is hyperbole. We understand that non-ADHD folks aren’t robots and generally have an understanding of what social interaction for people without ADHD looks like.
Its the degree to which this effects us that is in play. When it comes to most things with ADHD if you read it and it sounds like something that everyone experiences just be aware that folks with ADHD experience it to a debilitating level.
It isn’t that other people don’t get sidetracked or go on tangents when telling a story, it’s that ADHD folks struggle to or are unable to tell a concise story. Even if we’ve practiced and rehearsed it 1000 times. It’s common for us to clarify something multiple times because we’ve forgotten what we’ve already told you or start in what seems like the middle of a conversation because we’re unaware that you’re lacking context. It’s common for us to start explaining something, completely forget what we’re talking about half way through, and just keep talking and hope we somehow answer the original question. It can be legitimately difficult to have conversation on a specific topic.
To the best of my understanding, this can be explained by the fact that most of us have a very limited working memory and struggle to pass information between working, short term, and long term memory. Often, we’ve quite literally forgotten what we were talking about and are using context clues to keep going.
edit: Noticed that I missed a few words/had a partially rewritten sentence. I feel like I accidentally proved my point somewhat.

I started reading the actual book and it felt like the game designers were chastising me because I could potentially play the game in a different way than they envisioned it.

What’s wrong with “fix a flat”? I’m pretty sure the tires on my first car had more of that than air by the time I got rid of it.

That or he’s slowing down mentally and it just took more time for him to get there.
It’s already here. I know someone who drank the Flavor-Aid and within the past year he’s starting using the T-slur and blamed Somalis when I offhandedly asked why traffic was so bad in a certain part of town (while there is a high Somali population here, the traffic problem is 100% poor city planning).
So fucking weird hearing that come out of the mouth of the Commie artist I used to go to punk shows with.
