Internet rule: if a comment starts with "So" it's going to be the least charitable version of what you said, haha. Nah. If I were reviewing something without having been given the instruction "please be truthful, I need

My immediate thought too when I heard this one from that other AI music app that was on the front page yesterday. It's a description (Wikipedia intro by the looks) of Cola, but could easily be droning on about Coca Cola specifically wh

I imagine Stephen Hawking would have found a use for this had it been available before everyone got used to his computer speaking voice. Anything that may cause someone to lose their ability to speak along the lines of your example. Another

Ah. I think the wording plus the existing downvote when I read your reply made me not even consider it might be literal and not at all snarky.. I'd like to blame my British sarcasm-as-a-first-language upbringing, but really that one&#x

My best walk for hills is (sort of) literally storming a castle haha. Infinite dopamine when I trek up that way, fully agree with that hypothesis! A little bit deadly if it's been raining but if it's dry out it's a heck of a

That last point about it feeling nicer mentally rings true for sure. I much prefer to walk over uneven terrain such as through a field rather than the super flat (former railway line) path to the side of it. Every so often I do hit a wonky

I think this is where things diverge depending on what troubles the ADHD brings you. It's kinda like debugging a program except the program is your brain - and yeah in the UK it's medication only by default, had to sort out the CB

I dunno to be honest, I don't know of any kids diagnosed with ADHD to think of as examples. Looking back on my own life (diagnosed early 30s, but part of the process was looking at how I was in school): I struggled to keep up with the
