The location of this comma, really annoys me.

There are various attempts at categorizing ADHD, of various levels of scientific credibility.

The one I hear most often are "predominantly inattentive" and "predominantly hyperactive".

There are also quack psychology tests that break it down into basically zodiac signs.

Such distinctions can have their uses for clearer diagnostic pictures or educating people who need to handle others' ADHDs, but they're not nearly as important as they are in diabetes. They're arbitrary and they don't completely change the mechanism of the condition, as far as we're aware. It just doesn't affect much.

In short, there aren't really formal distinctions because it wouldn't be very practically useful to have them, and because it would be hard to agree on universal types.

I wonder what the closest thing to a video game was a century ago.

Is there some twisted definition by which you can argue Windows is UNIX? Just to intensify the violence.

I keep seeing bloody under-nails in that picture.

Physicist Albert Einstein did not commit suicide. That statement is true.

It's only technically correct because it's an obvious truth not worth shouting from the rooftops.

The author likely meant to say that Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. His death was ruled as a suicide but is thought by many to have been a murder to silence him because of all the secrets he knew.

I'm so thankful cable internet was the first kind I ever knew, around 1998.

Oh thanks. I'd have never guessed

By what criteria?

At work I honestly wish I had requested a Mac. My Lenovo laptop is always freezing while I'm off to lunch or overnight.
