Aww, you be nice to them. They're trying their best.

Did he do something wrong?

🎵One of these things is not like the others 🎶 🤷🏼‍♂️

edit: my bad, that's a printed "tattoo" arm wrap, and so it's likely the same guy in pics above, sorry. More coffee for me! 🤣

Is "trekker" the new "trekkie"?

much difficulty as there is finding good copies without issues that don’t come bundled with undesirable extras or restrictions to online play...

For clarity, this simply isn't as "difficult" as you make it sound, especially since the subculture that supports such is both welcoming and quite helpful in its self-policing. With very little effort at all, one can be assured of quality results, and oftentimes even better than "official" releases (see: buggy AF Denuvo "protected" titles, etc).

You'd be surprised how much of corporate America assumes similar of us, then.

In that we're all metaphorically asleep outside the final rest store?

Those are not only rational fears, but completely within the normal range for such a stigmatized and often-misunderstood perspective. In the same stroke, however, it's also based on incomplete information and as a lens offers no pragmatic consolation.

Looking at your own challenges that way is less than helpful, so let's get on the constructive path, instead: in the decades since the acronym was coined and that Rx boogeyman loomed over every kid that was even slightly unruly, fidgety, bored (or gods forbid had a super favorite thing they knew absolutely everything about to the seeming exclusion of much else), there have been incredible breakthroughs in the development of medications for and the overall understanding of neurodivergent components. I, for one, have worked my way through over half a dozen in the last decade alone, in guided attempts to fine tune my prescriptions to the challenges specific to my brain and life in general. In fact, the very first one I was prescribed was Adderall, and I absolutely hated it (except for the magic slimming effect, which was nice for the easy attention, if I'm being honest), so that didn't last a month before I was asking my psychiatrist to find something else to try out.

There's no reason to be afraid of getting professional help (ie. pharmaceutical) when you trust the pro behind the pen writing the Rx. A diagnosis is not a sentence hung around your neck, bogging you down for everyone else to sneer at. No, you're on a path to wellness & self-betterment and you've already made the first key decision: asking for help. 🙌🏽 You deserve to be in your own corner, cheering yourself on from the inside, so take a minute to give yourself that much. You got this.

Awww, it's almost self-aware, too? 🥹

So pissy you can't even type straight? Breathe, tiger. Go touch grass.

1. No.

2. "Tomfoolery"? Step away from the idiot box, gramps.

Your logical fallacy is showing, and your comment is wholly bullshit. Bye, Felicia.
