@Nine yeah same, I used to hyperfocus through books within hours as a child, though I still can read them if I force myself to actually get into them

@noiob and fidning out Jim has the EXACT SAME FUCKING PROBLEM WITH READING AS I DO is ...

i legit started crying. god i genuinely cannot fucking read books now. i used to love fucking doing it, I used to read SO GODDAMN MUCH and now I can't so muich as pick one up and read more than a few words in a paragraph before I endup finding myself re-reading the damn passage AGAIN. god. fuck.

@noiob ...fuck i... god...

goddammit I keep forgetting just how goddamn bad ADHD affects me and this video makes me feel so goddamn fucking seen and validated... and also it hurts so fucking much to realise that 90% of my life has been an uphill struggle just because I was only ever fucking told "oh you just suck at focusing", and it took me until just like the last five years before I started realising JUST how bad ADHD is.

btw if you haven't yet, (and you're not terrified of clowns, cause uh, there's a lot of 'em in there) you should absolutely watch Worthikid's "Wire" video because a) it's rad as hell, b) big monster clown gal who super stronk and very teethy , c) awesome fuckin' music too, d) the animation is slick as fuck and e) yeah it's nothing to do with Big Top Burger sadly but I cannot stop headcanoning it myself.

@ohtorifightclub ooh, could also be under Windows Mobility Options if you're using windows.

@ohtorifightclub This sounds weirdly familiar to something that happened to me on my old keyboard...

It might be your keyboard has a "Function Lock" (Fn Lock) key, or you need to hold the Fn key and press... whichever button the Fn Lock is on? to turn them back into the Function keys instead of their media keyboard/brightness/sound functions.

... Might be Fn+Esc? Possibly??

@monorail Your dad is ... actuially correct. I wanted to see if I could find some scans of BASIC programs from the old Spectrum magazines my dad used to get me but no such luck it seems.

But yeah. Honestly though hardly any of them actually were much cop. But then I never seemed to grasp the whole "you can change this program to see what it does and then learn programming that way" for some reason. ._.; even back then my brain didn't work so well I guess.

@heatherhorns Oo! OOO! I know this one! It's from the uhh..
