I'm a Minnesotan. We know HHH (though, it prolly helped that a stadium was also named after him =P).

HHH/Mondale/Wellstone. Wellstone died too young.

For fuck's sake, Carl Sagan warned of global warming in Cosmos in 1980! And, he never stopped ringing the alarm.

Haha, exactly like knitting! A billion years ago, I saw this really cool shrug/scarf/shawl type thing. It was on clearance for $5. Tell my husband, I can totally make that! 5 years later, it's done at a cost of about $15 =P

Wild game: throw in rabbit, deer (or elk), buffalo, etc. Alligator is also quite tasty. Sheep, goat (man, nothing beats curry goat, let me tell you).

Depends on what you mean by "background". I'm an ex-lawyer (practiced for a couple years, but hated it, doing other law-related things), but I'm an old school geek that was using the internet in the late 80s, building my own boxes in the 90s, etc. I'm also a woman.

I like the fediverse because it reminds me of the free-wheeling, anarchical days of the interbutts in the early 90s with IRC (EFnet only, mind), usenet, etc., before Endless September.

Those in the Skyrim community knows that Gamerant just skims reddit posts and puts up stupid shit like, "you won't believe what this Skyrim player discovered today!" sort of nonsense.

Anyway, I just write down I, II, III, etc. and mark down with tics every time I cast a spell and at what level. I mean, do you need to get more complicated? This seems like extra work.

I resent that. I eat more than 3 species of animals.

Oh lordy, there's a dice community. Perhaps making dice would be cheaper than buying them? HHAHAH! That's what I say about knitting =P

that's what I was waiting for. Has that sub migrated to lemmy yet?

Minnesotan here. No incest signs. Lots of drunk driving signs. And, the occasional meth signs down in the SW of the state.

I actually do have a habit of brushing my teeth. It's part of my morning routine, which I do in the exact same order, every day. But, I'm autistic (I was diagnosed as a teen in the 80s). I'm one of those persons that has a very exact routine, and get really upset when my routine gets interrupted.

But, I do agree with you that some of those symptoms seem more indicative of depression than ADHD.

As an autistic person, habits are integral to my existence. I hate it when my schedule gets crazy, unless I very specifically plan for it. However, my husband who has ADHD, the above seems true. As a simple example: I always leave my stuff like keys, lunchbox, and headphones in the exact same spot when I get home from work. On the other hand, I spent 10 minutes this morning trying to find where my husband put the potato chips that I was planning on taking for lunch. Instead of being in the kitchen, they were in the living room(??!!) cos he moved them there to "get them out of the way."

I'm very structured in the way I work; he needs to be constantly redirected to stay on task. I have boundless attention to fiddly, very specific high-attention things (I do a lot of fiber crafts such as knitting and crocheting lace) for HOURS, to quote Neal Stephenson, "I have attention surplus disorder." He can't work on anything longer than 15 minutes.

It used to drive me crazy, but now I've realized that's just how his brain works, and we just work around it. On the other hand, he keeps makes me take breaks and pace myself (which I don't usually do), and I help him be more efficient. It's a pretty good system.
