This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Excuse me, but I am not neurodivergent! At least not to my knowledge.....

Ok, we might have some news for you then…

Depends entirely on how you take it…

How can I phrase this nicely… I don’t think being on Lemmy, of all services, has a strong correlation with being neurotypical. When it comes to Fediverse users being neurodiverse, the odds are good… and the goods are odd 😆

Actually, in Denmark iirc you're only diagnosed neurodivergent if you experience your symptoms as issues in day-to-day life, and I don't think I have any problems in my day-to-day. I follow a lot of neurodivergent people on Mastodon and the fediverse in general, and while I can recognize some traits in myself, I don't experience any of the difficulties I can hear they have.

Does that make me neurotypical? Not sure.

So I...shouldn't have mentioned Lemmy when that girl asked me to add her on Insta?

Why am I in this post?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

3/8 phew

Neurodivergent, anti-AI, and, given the number of times I’ve inadvertently referenced internet culture and had to explain it to people, probably very online.

When does middle age start again?

That's not the important part, the important part is you now must figure out which Linux distro you'll be installing. I recommend Mint or FedoraKDE.
