I think I've given up on finding Farside funny. I must just not be enlightened enough.

Who made a community called "shermanposting"? Why does it feel like entire communities are made to support a single post sometimes?

Thank you for sharing. I now grasp the disConnect.

I mean, it tracked just fine for me when I read this.

I'm using Connect.

I'll give a very literal example joke demonstrating how this used to function.

NOBODY:

ME: Yes, I did get a haircut. Thank you for asking.

See, nobody asked, but the speaker was still compelled to share this fact (or in other cases, an opinion). Over time, it became such a common format that people didn't even grasp the initial purpose beyond it being convention. The term "POV" in captions is used this way now too.

Is the display different for others? Mine shows the word balloon on top but the text on the bottom instead.

I don't know if I can get on his side for this one.

Why did you have to give away a dog? What made you able to get given a new one?

This post sent me down a rabbit hole trying to define at what point a cult becomes a religion.

The only provider you'd learn coping mechanisms through is a therapist/psychologist/counselor, and they won't require a diagnosis. However, there's plenty of YouTube channels, books, websites, and other tools where you can learn a lot of those coping mechanisms you have have missed out on.

If you were talking about getting meds, you can sometimes just find proof of your original diagnosis, and that'll be enough for your current primary care doctor to medicate you.

If you were under the mistaken impression that you have to get a new diagnosis in order to be diagnosed with ADHD instead of ADD as an adult, you don't. The term "ADD" is simply defunct now as ADHD and ADD are now considered the same disorder with the hyperactivity in certain individuals sometimes manifesting and not in others. It's very similar to how the term "Asperger's syndrome" is obsolete because it's simply considered a manifestation of autism.
