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.

Where I live it's the best place to get info on local events

Hell yeah! I remember being at a show with mc chris, MC Lars, and Mega Ran when the 2016 election results were announced. They made a bad night bearable.

Honestly, most people will use those words interchangeably. So if you're talking to someone, just understand that, to that person, they likely mean the same thing.

Hey they have like 5 games that you can play once a day. Those are kinda fun.

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.

Can we start calling them Adobe Lovers?

Awesome thanks for the info on that.

I've had the opposite happen since switching to Windows 11. Multiple BSODs a week on both machines. Super frustrating.

Nothing wrong with examining potential issues for emerging technology before they become actual issues.

I don't really like associating these people with the concepts presented in the Bible. Their understanding of Jesus, to me, feels about on par with a Republican political candidate's understanding of Rage Against The Machine.

Even with all of the examples here and that I've seen around, it's still something I know I don't fully grasp. I'm also confident this is the same kind of limitation that flat earthers use when they say "Well I can't comprehend the Earth being a sphere, it just looks flat to me."
