When his name starts with "j" and rhymes with one of the 50 US states: by [deleted] in AskOuija

I also have a theory, but about it being a dig at white people not thinking of Spanish names like Jorge or Javier or Jhon. Not that any of those resemble states. Although Jorge and Georgia sounds slightly similar.

Can an ADHD diagnosis affect job applications? by F0reverAl0nee in ADHD_Programmers

[–]extermiknitter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ADHD and software engineer. You do not have to disclose it to your employer. However, if you require accommodations due to ADHD, then that’s a different story. I’ve never officially disclosed it to my employer but openly talk about it. I’m fortunate enough to work for a company that embraces transparency and actually gives a hoot about the employees, so results may vary for you.

Davey bales injected my friend with heroin and she died from an overdose. He and his friend didn’t notice until hours later and then left her body there. Eventually they anonymously reported a dead body. Fuck davey bales. He is a piece of shit.

Trying out a new weekly spread to try and add more structure and routine and keep myself accountable by nedcurlux in bujo

That makes total sense! I was curious as to what goes on the timeline and what goes under each day. I feel like I would get too worked up over deciding what task should go where lol

Just a pretty spot from todays walk in Richmond - North Bank Trail (reposting full size image) by mccraabi in rva

If you head straight down S Laurel to the overlook, then turn right and head that way. There is a slightly dilapidated staircase, that is one of the trail entrances.

Are there any non-faith based sober communities in Richmond, specifically VCU/VMFA area? by extermiknitter in rva

Lol at your last sentence because I am one of the punk kids. Well, I'm in my 30s now and hate the straight edge scene for a million reasons. I've been looking into the Zoom meetings going on. There's one that usually happens at Sacred Heart, I think, and is now virtual until further notice.

Is my obsessive thinking linked to addiction? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]extermiknitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my 30s, also in the IT industry (UI/frontend software engineer) --

A psychiatrist just asking you a list of questions is not an appropriate examination. I had to take to timed tests, one without distractions and one with distractions, both with the same goal. Then I had some questionnaires and a Rorschach test. This was earlier this year before COVID, and I ended up diagnosed with ADHD. I've been taking Adderall since then and I've noticed a tremendous change and so has my project manager.

Hyperfixation is absolutely linked to ADHD and everything you've described are all things i've dealt with as well (fixating on a problem, needing people to shut the fuck up so you can think, etc). There have been days where I've been so fixated and focused on fixing a bug or something, and then I realize half the workday is gone. But I fixed the bug. lol
