  • Very little of what you mention was obvious to me. From the courtyard forward was the only place I wasn’t completely lost all the time.

    Before that, the multi-level section around where you get locked in with a knight, the labyrinthine rooms around the kitchen, the rampart tops and rooftops, the outside sections… Everything was pure confusion. Kept coming back to the same places, entering one of the million nearly identical looking doors, going round and round without ever reaching the place I was trying to reach…

    Subtle hints don’t really suffice for people without a sense of direction.





  • There are various attempts at categorizing ADHD, of various levels of scientific credibility.

    The one I hear most often are “predominantly inattentive” and “predominantly hyperactive”.

    There are also quack psychology tests that break it down into basically zodiac signs.

    Such distinctions can have their uses for clearer diagnostic pictures or educating people who need to handle others’ ADHDs, but they’re not nearly as important as they are in diabetes. They’re arbitrary and they don’t completely change the mechanism of the condition, as far as we’re aware. It just doesn’t affect much.

    In short, there aren’t really formal distinctions because it wouldn’t be very practically useful to have them, and because it would be hard to agree on universal types.







  • Physicist Albert Einstein did not commit suicide. That statement is true.

    It’s only technically correct because it’s an obvious truth not worth shouting from the rooftops.

    The author likely meant to say that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself. His death was ruled as a suicide but is thought by many to have been a murder to silence him because of all the secrets he knew.
